Hard Rain is a 1998 American action film directed by Mikael Salomon starring Christian Slater and Morgan Freeman. The small town of Huntingburg is caught in monsoon-like rains. Even the dam threatens to burst and wash the town off the map. The town has now become a ghost town with very few people left. Now, of all times, the armored truck with all the cash in the area gets stuck there. The driver Tom and his uncle Charlie ask for help, but only the aging crook Jim and his troop come. Jim wants to take advantage of the chaotic situation to improve his economic situation. He plans to rob the money transport and take the contents for himself.
The following weapons were used in the film Hard Rain:
Ray (Ricky Harris) uses a Arminius HW-9ST with non-fluted cylinder and pearl taped grips. The gun probably was the same used on the set of Batman Forever.
Wayne (Mark Rolston) draws from his duty belt a Smith & Wesson Model 686. Tom carries this gun and uses it in the final scene. From Wayne's death to the movie's end, this six-bullet revolver shoots about 20 shots with no need to reload!
At the beginning of the movie, Tom (Christian Slater) draws a Smith & Wesson Model 66 with a 4-inch barrel from his duty belt to protect the money. When he goes to the van’s back, the gun is in his hand but in the next scene it is missing and he’s soon forced to run to avoid Jim’s men.
Wayne (Mark Rolston) holds in his right hand a Smith & Wesson Model 36 when he closes the weapon locker. This gun is visible only in a few frames and can be only seen during careful viewing.
The Sturm Ruger AC556 is used in most of the film by police and criminals. Sometimes the rifle is swapped out with the semi-automatic only Ruger Mini-14GB which is nearly identical except for the absence of the full auto selector switch on the back of the receiver.
In the outside bank scene, we can see Uncle Charlie (Ed Asner) give a Mossberg 500 with wood furniture to Tom. Tom tries to take this shotgun halfway through the movie.
