Heavy Weapons "Polish ZSU-33 14.5mm" (Browning M2HB mocked up as KPV heavy machine gun) For his job, The Jackal (Bruce Willis ) purchases a heavy machine gun via online contacts. The weapon is identified in the film as a "Polish ZSU-33 14.5mm" , which is in reality a Browning M2HB mocked up as a KPV heavy machine gun in 14.5mm. Both guns have a cyclic rate of 600 rounds per minute, but the Polish gun is said to have a rate of 1400RPM. The rounds Jackal uses are Depleted Uranium rounds, which he claims he uses for better "spall" on impact, even though in reality they are used because of their density and ability to penetrate armor. He notably uses it twice in the film, once to kill Ian Lamont (Jack Black ), the man who built the automated mount for him, and again in the assassination attempt. The mocked up weapon was supplied by Stembridge Gun Rentals.

GE M134 Minigun While never actually seen in the film, The Jackal (Bruce Willis ) is offered a GE M134 Minigun by his contacts while purchasing a weapon on the computer for his assassination. It was the most obvious choice since he requested a weapon with a high cyclic rate, no lower in caliber than 7.62mm. Jackal claims he prefers non-American made weapons, and thus settles for the 14.5mm machine gun.
