Red Heat (1988)

Podbyrin 9.2 mm

This is actually a modified Western Desert Eagle .357 Magnum. The Podbyrin does not exist and was made up as a prop for the movie to look more like a Soviet weapon. It is the main weapon for Ivan Danko (Arnold Schwarzenegger) for much of the movie, until he gets it taken away, due to his lack of a diplomatic license.

Walter Hill, the films director, has said in interviews that he wanted a "P38 on steroids".

BTJ DA38

The "sleeve pistol" used by Viktor Rosta(Ed O Ross). It was modified by Tim La France, who also modified the Desert Eagle, and made the sleeve device(A la Taxi Driver). The barrel of the derringer was cut off and a new one with a bore larger than a 12 gauge was machined, welded and blended into the original contours.
