The Negotiator
The following guns appear in The Negotiator:
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).
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.
Remington M700
Some of the snipers called to the scene of the hostage situation can be seen aiming Remington M700 sniper rifles at Danny Roman.
