Falling Down
The following firearms were used in the 1993 movie Falling Down:
Handguns
Beretta 92F
A Beretta 92F is seen in the holster of an LAPD officer.
Taurus PT92
A Taurus PT92 is first used by Nick the Neo-Nazi, owner of the surplus store (Frederic Forrest), to threaten William 'D-Fens' Foster, and used by Foster himself to shoot and kill him.
Colt MkIV Series 70
A Colt MK IV Series 70 is used in the final scenes in which William 'D-Fens' Foster pursues his family and is confronted by Detective Martin Prendergast (Robert Duvall). The gun was most likely obtained from the "gun bag" of the Latino gang. Notice the two tone Blued finish typical of the Colt MK IV Series 70 pistols.
Smith & Wesson Model 19
A Smith & Wesson Model 19 Snub is picked up by Detective Martin Prendergrast (Robert Duvall) from his wounded partner Samantha Torres (Rachel Ticotin). It is used to shoot William 'D-Fens' Foster.
Smith & Wesson Model 15
A Smith & Wesson Model 15 .38 cal revolver with a 4 inch barrel is the service weapon of Detective Martin Prendergrast (Robert Duvall). He hands it over to the police clerk at the beginning of the movie due to his impending retirement.
A closer look at the grip makes it look closer to a Rossi model .357 revolver than a Smith and Wesson.
Unidentified Revolver
Seen only in the scene after the failed drive-by shooting. The gun is seen hanging from the door of the crashed car, and is picked up by William 'D-Fens' Foster. The weapon is not given much screen time, which leads to the conclusion that it could be a .38 revolver of some sort.
Could it be a Smith & Wesson Model 17? - MikeF88
Unidentified Revolver
Nick the Nazi military surplus salesman pulls an unidentified revolver on a gay couple in his store. The revolver is on-screen for only a moment.
Submachine Guns
Intratec TEC-9
A Intratec TEC-9 pistol that has been converted to full auto is seen several times throughout the film. It is first used by a member of the Latino street gang during the drive-by shooting, then used by William 'D-Fens' Foster (Michael Douglas) in the scene at the Whammyburger restaurant.
MAC-10
A MAC-10 is used by William 'D-Fens' Foster to destroy a phone booth.
IMI Uzi
An Uzi is used by William 'D-Fens' Foster to wound a member of the street gang. There are rubber bands around the grip to help steady the shot, Also it kept the grip safety depressed so firing could be done quicker and without a full grip on the firearm. It can also be seen at the hands of one of the gang members before the failed drive-by shooting.
Other Weapons
Sawed-off Remington 870
A cut-down Remington 870 shotgun with a cut down buttstock is used by William 'D-Fens' Foster to shoot a golf cart and accidentally threaten the caretaker of a rich doctor's house.
M72 LAW
An M72 LAW is used by William 'D-Fens' Foster to destroy a large crane. It was obtained from the store of the Neo-Nazi surplus seller. The weapon is inaccurately portrayed as a heat-seeking guided missile, as opposed to an unguided rocket (its real-life role). Strangely, "D-Fens" fires the rocket unless he switch off the safety... and pull the trigger!
