The Negotiator (1998)


SIG-Sauer P226

When Lieutenant Danny Roman (Samuel L. Jackson) is accused of murdering his partner as part of a corruption scandal, he takes the accusing Internal Affairs investigators hostage using a SIG-Sauer P226 pistol that he acquires from one of them during a scuffle. There are several extreme closeups of the P226 where it is easy to see that, as with all prop SIG-Sauer pistols used in Hollywood, the lock-up on the barrel has been filed down in order to make the gun function with blanks.

Many of the other Chicago police officers and FBI HBT officers throughout the movie also use the P226. The two HBT operators who attempt to breach the building from the air are armed with P226s fitted with tactical lights, both of which are then confiscated by Danny and used later in the film. Hellman (Nestor Serrano), one of the corrupt officers in the film, also carries a P226 which is then given to Grant Frost (Ron Rifkin), the leader of the conspiracy plot, when he confronts Danny at the end of the film.

Glock 19

Lieutenant Chris Sabian (Kevin Spacey)'s sidearm throughout the movie is a Glock 19. The masked gunman who kills Danny Roman's partner also uses a Glock 19 (though in a flashback, it is easy to tell that his Glock is actually one of the flashbulb-firing "non guns"; this is necessary because at the range of the shot, blanks would be harmful to the actor).

Beretta 92FS

Danny Roman's sidearm early in the film is a Beretta 92FS, which he is forced to surrender (along with his badge) when he learns that he is suspected of killing his partner and is placed on suspension. Many other Chicago police officers throughout the movie also use the 92FS (including the two who arrest Danny at the scene of his partner's murder).

Valmet M78

The sniper Palermo uses a .308 (7.62x51mm NATO) version of the Finnish Valmet M78 semi-automatic rifle. His Valmet is outfitted with a scope and laser sight (which a real-life sniper would never use). He refuses to use this rifle to kill Danny even when he has the chance.

Heckler & Koch MP5SD2

Argento (Tim Kelleher), one of the corrupt SWAT officers, uses a suppressed Heckler & Koch MP5SD2 submachine gun to kill Inspector Terence Niebaum (J.T. Walsh) during an attempted breach (allegedly by accident).

Another SWAT officer is seen using one during the first hostage situation earlier in the film.

H&K MP5A2/A3

Most of the SWAT officers throughout the movie can be seen using Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine guns fitted with Surefire flashlight forearms, mostly the MP5A2 variant (fixed stock), but also some MP5A3s.

M14

During Danny Roman's partner's funeral, the officers who perform the 21 gun salute use M14 rifles (or possibly semi-automatic M1As).

Unknown revolvers

When Danny takes the Internal Affairs investigators hostage in their office, many of the other detectives in the office are armed with a variety of different types of revolvers. Danny forces them to place their weapons on a desk.
