The Peacemaker is a 1997 action film starring George Clooney as a Special Forces colonel and Nicole Kidman as a nuclear weapons expert who together race against the clock to locate a trainload of missing Russian nuclear warheads. This film was the first one released by Dreamworks Entertainment.
The following weapons were used in the film The Peacemaker:
The early (and outdated) Colt CAR-15 assault rifles are seen in the hands of a Special Forces Operator and a FBI agent. The Special Forces soldier's CAR has a M203 launcher attached to it.
General Aleksandr Kodoroff (Aleksandr Baluev) uses a Steyr GB pistol. Hard to see in the pic here, but in the later scene where Kodoroff climbs into the back of the truck carrying the nuclear warheads, he pulls his GB and gives a very clear view of it from the side.
This unknown weapon is seen being used by the driver of the truck. He uses it twice, once to blow up a Russian Border Patrol, the again to shoot at Devoe’s chopper, but he shoots the floor of his truck, which blows up, killing him.
The Glock 17 is seen being used by a security team to kill Devoe’s friend. Several NYC police officers use them as well, but due to the never halting camera movements, I couldn’t get a clear picture.
Several New York National Guard troops show up to aid in the finding of the bomb, carrying very old M16A1s. This is a correct prop for the National Guard Troops given the time this movie was made. M16A1s were being issued to National Guard Infantry units as late as 2002. There are probably some Guard units that still have them today.
A Special Forces sniper saves Devoe’s (George Clooney) ass with a shot to Kodoroff’s (Aleksandr Baluyev) chest with his M24 sniper rifle. The weapon also has a custom camo paintjob (albeit fading) and a fluted barrel.
The Heckler & Koch MP5A3 and Heckler & Koch MP5A2, a Special Forces favorite at the time, is seen being used by rogue Russian Spetsnaz and American Green Berets.
