Strikers are identified not only by the unique 'knob' that serves as the winding key in front of the drum, but also the drum advance lever on the back of the receiver.

Beretta 92F
The Washington, DC police officers during the opening drugstore robbery use Beretta 92F pistols. Maggie Hayward (Bridget Fonda) uses one during her training to take out several targets.
Several thugs throughout the film use Beretta 92FS Inox pistols. Maggie Hayward (Bridget Fonda) takes a Beretta from one of the men she was with during the opening drugstore robbery. Several court officers during Maggie's sentencing also have Beretta Inoxes. These are also carried by some of the government operatives that train Maggie/Claudia and the bodyguard of Claudia's New Orleans target, as well as some of Fahd Bahktiar's bodyguards.
Maggie (Bridget Fonda) takes a Smith & Wesson 659 from Bob (Gabriel Byrne) to try and commit suicide after being caught. After she tries to shoot herself and the gun doesn't go off, Bob takes it back and tells her "Rule number one: Never chamber the first round." He then chambers the pistol and fires a shot into Maggie's leg.
One of the guards at the government building is armed with a Heckler & Koch MP5A3 equipped with a target sight that he holds on Maggie takes Bob hostage.
Some of the V.I.P.'s henchmen in the restaurant carry Glock 17 pistols, firing them at Maggie. Angela's bodyguards (Kenny Endoso and Gary Kasper) each carry a Glock 17 in a shoulder holster, drawing them before being shot by Beth.
One of the thugs (Henry Kingi) uses a Mossberg 500 Bullpup shotgun to try and kill Maggie in the restaurant. He later attaches some sort of grenade to it.
One of the operatives gives Claudia (Bridget Fonda) a black Walther PPK with brown grips after she completes her mission at the Marriott, telling her to "go home". Victor the Cleaner (Harvey Keitel) uses a suppressed PPK to eliminate one of the other operatives.
While in New Orleans, Claudia (Bridget Fonda) is told to look for an Anschutz .22 LR sniper rifle under the sink, which she uses to assassinate a female target. Despite being a bolt-action rifle, the rifle is shown to fire semi-automatic shots.
