The Art of War is a 2000 action film that stars Wesley Snipes as Neil Shaw, an operative for a covert unit that works as an arm of the United Nations. Shaw finds himself on the run when he's framed for the assassination of a Chinese ambassador. The film's cast includes Michael Biehn, Anne Archer, and Donald Sutherland. Snipes would return as Shaw in a 2008 DTV sequel and a third DTV film was released in 2009.
The following weapons were used in the film The Art of War:
Shaw (Wesley Snipes) gets a Glock 17 fitted with a suppressor from a former operative's secret cache of weapons. NYPD officers and federal agents in addition to FBI Special Agent Frank Capella (Maury Chaykin) also carry the Glock.
A Beretta 92D is seen used by Operative Bly during a confrontation at the UN. Shaw is also seen shooting his leg chains with a Beretta 92D. The D model of the 92 has a smooth back end of the slide (like a Taurus) aka no decocker/safety. One might confuse it with a Taurus if it were not for the clear view of the rest of the pistol. The "D" model also has a shaved hammer and is a strictly DAO pistol.
A sniper is seen using a suppressed Steyr AUG during the assassination attempt on Ambassador Wu. The AUG is later seen being put in the hands of Shaw in order to frame him.
NYPD ESU officers are armed with the Heckler & Koch MP5A3 when confronting Shaw on the street.
