The Beretta 92F is frequently seen in the hands of Jeffrey as in many John Woo films. However, according to one of the movie's armorers, they only had access to one Beretta 92F for most of the shoot, so the Brazilian Taurus PT92 was used in many scenes as a substitute.
There's a much clearer, better shot of the gun when the trigger is pulled and it clicks empty. -MT2008
I'll see if I can find it.
Walther PPK
The Walther PPK is used by Jeffrey in his apartment as a backup alongside his Beretta, previously held in his left sleeve. The Walther PPK used in this scene was actually an 8mm German-made blank replica, because the armorers were unable to acquire a real PPK when the scene was filmed. Aside from a replica Desert Eagle seen in the weapons case and some model gun M16s visible in Sidney's armory, this is the only gun in the film that is fake.
A CZ-75 is in the hands of one of the gangsters who attacks Jeffrey at his apartment.
Can be seen in the house shootout use by the gangsters attacking.
A Browning BDA is used by several Triad members in the nightclub shootout. Shortly after, it is used once again by Triads, Wong Tong (Wong Kwong-Leung), and Li Ying (Danny Lee) at the gun deal scene and the bus chase. The FN HP-DA continues to be used by Triad members throughout the movie. Near the end, Fung Sei (Chu Kong) briefly commandeers one in his attempt to retrieve Ah Jong's (Chow Yun-Fat) money from Wong Hoi (Shing Fui-On).
A suppressed Smith & Wesson 5904 is seen in the hands of a thug who attacks Jeffrey at his apartment. It possesses the squared trigger guard of early model 5904s.
- That can't be a 5904. The S&W third-generation semi-autos weren't available until the year (1990) after the movie was released (1989).
The Smith & Wesson Model 29 is seen in a briefcase given to Ah Jong by his friend Fung Sei. He later uses one during the parking garage scene to kill several of Wong Hoi's men, and at one point uses it to shoot Wong Hoi. Wong Hoi's squib-filled fake arm came off during the scene, making it look like Ah Jong had blown off Wong's arm.
A Desert Eagle is seen in the briefcase given to Jeffrey by Sydney. The Desert Eagle used in this scene appears to be an 8mm blank-firing replica.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingA gun case holds a Taurus stainless with wood grips, an early model .44 Desert Eagle with wood grips, a Beretta 92F, a Browning with plastic grips, and a first generation Glock 17.
Colt Python
A Colt Python is seen in the hands of Sidney when he gets Jeffrey's money for the last hit.
It looks more like a heavily modified s&w 629.
A Heckler & Koch MP5K with two magazines clamped together is used by Jeffrey in the church, and later handed off to Ying. MP5Ks are also used by many of the Triads.
It is not a converted SP89 as stated previously. There's a very good close-up of him reloading the gun, and it clearly has the detachable SEF lower receiver. -MT2008
The first assassin at the beach that tries to kill Jeffrey (Chow Yun-Fat) after the hit on Wong Dung-Yu uses an M16A1 rifle that has M16A2-style hand guards. The rifle has a scope mounted on top of the carry handle and has a twenty-round magazine.
The rifle used by Jeffrey (Chow Yun-Fat) to carry out his assassination plot is a long barreled Chinese Norinco Type 56 assault rifle that was visually modified to look like a SVD Dragunov. The armorers were unable to acquire a real SVD or NDM-86 (the Chinese SVD Clone) for the filming of the scene, so they were forced to use the Type 56 rifle instead. The rifle that Jeffrey drops into the sea was a Japanese airsoft AK-47 that was also modified by the filmmakers to look like an SVD. (Note: The SVD Airsoft rifle that resembles this mockup was not introduced until after the 1990s, so this was a custom build on an AK47 Airsoft gun.)
Wong Hoi (Shing Fui-On) uses an Auto-Ordnance M1911A1 at the very end of the film, in addition to an unidentified snub-nosed revolver in his other hand.
