Direct Action (2004)

The following weapons were used in the film Direct Action:


Handguns

Beretta 92FS

The Beretta 92FS is the most common handgun in the film. Sgt. Frank Gannon (Dolph Lundgren) carries one as his sidearm, as does his partner, Billie Ross (Polly Shannon), along with nearly every other cop and thug in the film. Two assassins use suppressed Berettas at the beginning of the film to kill several prostitutes and an undercover agent. These pistols are replaced with Non Guns several times throughout the film.

Glock 17

Second Generation Glock 17 pistols are seen used by several cops, including Ed Grimes (Rothaford Gray) who wields one akimbo with a Beretta 92FS in the warehouse shootout. The cop who tries to bring in Ed has one holstered, though Frank swiftly relieves him and another officer of their weapons.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5

An H&K MP5 is briefly seen in the bag of guns Ross grabs from the dirty cop's car. Both it and the shotgun next to it are rubber props.

Ross finds one of the officer's badges among an MP5 and a shotgun (this is assumed to be the same Ithaca 37 that was seen earlier).

Uzi

Two would-be assassins use Uzis to try and kill Frank and Ross. Because they are very difficult to see, it's impossible to determine for sure the specific model, though they appear to be the full size variant.

You can just see one of the thug's Uzis sticking out of the window. For whatever reason the thugs decided that the best place to lay an ambush would be from inside a car being carried by a moving forklift.

Shotguns

Remington 870

What appears to be a Remington 870 can be seen when Frank retrieves two pistols from the dirty cop's weapons stash. Because most of the identifying features cannot be seen, its identity as a Remington is not confirmed.

An 870 is seen among the weapons in the back of the car. Also visible are an Ithaca 37 Stakeout, an M4A1, and one of the Beretta 92FSs that Frank grabs.

Ithaca 37 Stakeout

An Ithaca 37 "Stakeout" is seen in the weapons stash. It is very obviously a rubber prop.

Mossberg 590A1 SBS

One of the dirty cops uses a Mossberg 590A1 SBS in a pistol grip only configuration during the warehouse standoff. Frank quickly (and brutally) relieves him of his weapon and then uses it during the ensuing gunfight.

Assault Rifles

IWI CTAR-21

The CTAR-21 is used quite frequently by Ross and Frank, and briefly by both of the CIA agents that they team up with. Ross first takes this weapon from the back of a dirty cop's car and uses it in the ensuing firefight. It is equipped with the standard MARS red dot sight and has olive drab furniture.

Like many Hollywood guns, the Tavor has an A1 style flash hider installed. For some reason the charging handle isn't all the way forward, meaning the bolt is likely out of battery.

Frank fires at thugs attempting to run him over. Unlike Ross, he actually uses the MARS sight. Also note that the blank adapter is plainly visible.

Frank approaches the disabled cars with his CTAR-21 at the ready. It appears that the bolt is locked back in this scene, however Frank fires shortly afterwards without ever reloading.

Colt M4A1

Colt M4A1 rifles are seen in the hands of a federal agent guarding LoPresti and Ed's family, as well as some of the dirty cops during the warehouse shootout. One of the guards at the deal near the end of the film has one fitted with an M203 grenade launcher.
