Collateral

The following guns were used in the film Collateral:

Collateral (2004)

Heckler & Koch USP-45

Vincent (Tom Cruise) carries a Heckler & Koch USP in .45 ACP which we see him draw and fire several times. Of particular note for this film is that Cruise, as Vincent, fires the first five rounds of his "briefcase" scene attack with deliberate aim against two targets in less than one and a half seconds. This results in obvious physical, but also dramatic and cinematic, impact as it demonstrates that Vincent's degree of skill and focus is clearly on a different level than that of the armed street thugs he encounters.

Cruise trained on a LA County Sheriff's Department range in combat scenarios with a former SAS (British Special Air Service) operator, with live ammunition to increase his competency with a pistol, according to Michael Mann's DVD commentary. Cruise did not have live ammunition experience with a pistol prior to shooting "Collateral". Mann also specifically says in the DVD commentary that Vincent's USP is the .45 ACP model. It is also namechecked in the script as an "HK .45".

Vincent does a brass check on his USP-45 before going to kill the second witness in the penthouse. Note that his finger is safely off the trigger, as is fitting behavior of a highly-trained ex-military assassin

Vincent retrieves his briefcase with six rounds of .45 ACP. After double tapping the first thug, he uses the "Mozambique Drill" against the second. A note of interest: In the script, the goal of this confrontation was to be 5 shots in 1.6 seconds. Tom Cruise clocked in at 1.39 seconds, beating the script. Good quality youtube vid of the scene [1]

Vincent puts the final shot to the head of the thug.

Vincent takes out one of Felix's assassins before he can shoot Max. Note how Cruise is not flinching, a sign of intensive training.

Vincent fires his USP-45 at guards in Club Fever.

Vincent executes the fourth witness with two shots to the chest and one to the head. (This is Michael Mann's trademark execution, known as the "Mozambique Drill", or "Failure Drill").

Vincent holds his USP-45 to Max's head when he begins speeding down the road after he snaps under the pressure. He threatens to shoot him but Max points out how he is driving at 60mph and shooting him wouldn't be the best thing to do.

Max points Vincent's USP-45 at him in the Federal building before shooting a chunk out of his ear. With this stance, the shot was pretty much all luck.

Max holds the empty USP-45 after firing at Vincent on the train.

Ruger Mk II Pistol

Vincent (Tom Cruise) assassinates Daniel (Barry Shabaka Henley) with a suppressed Ruger Mk II Pistol chambered for .22 LR. He catches his head before it smashes on the table, but in reality the suppressed shots would be louder than the slam anyway, though this is possibly to keep the blood from splashing over the table, so the ruse that Daniel is just sleeping will last longer. (An interesting note: Named in the script as a .22 Ruger with a thick, silent barrel.)

The Ruger Mk II used in the film - .22 LR.

Vincent silently executes Daniel with the Ruger Mk II.

Smith & Wesson 3913

Detective Fanning (Mark Ruffalo) draws a Smith & Wesson 3913 in 9mm when he goes to Ramon's apartment to find him and sees the door has been left open. (In the script, this was named as a Beretta.)

Smith & Wesson 3913 - 9x19mm

Fanning enters Ramone's apartment with his Smith & Wesson 3913 drawn. Note the color contrast between the frame and the slide/guide rod. The frame is anodized alloy as is seen in the S&W 3913 and not in any other single stack 3rd generation S&W pistols except Performance Center versions such as the TSW and RECON.

A rear shot of Fanning's pistol shows more of the obvious color contrast between the slide and tail of the frame which is indicative of a 3913.

Fanning searches Ramone's apartment with his Smith & Wesson 3913 at the ready.

Note the spurred hammer that is standard on all compact 3rd generation S&W autos.

Smith & Wesson 5906

Vincent lifts a Smith & Wesson 5906 from the desk guard he kills at the Federal building and uses it as he hunts down his final target, Annie (Jada Pinkett Smith). (In the script, Vincent would have had this gun as a back-up, and it was to be a Para-Ordnance .45.)

Vincent's Smith & Wesson 5906 from Collateral - 9mm. This is a screen used gun. Note the late model 5906 pistols have the rounded trigger guard.

Vincent's Smith & Wesson 5906 locks empty.

On instinct, Vincent reaches for a fresh magazine but he has no spares in his holders.

The empty magazine falls to the floor.

SIG-Sauer P232

One of the robbers pulls a SIG-Sauer P232 on Max when he calls for help when tied up in the cab. He points it at Vincent when he confronts them for his briefcase before being killed. (In the script, this was simply named as a "Chrome .380".)

SIG-Sauer P232 - .380 ACP.

A robber points his SIG P232 at Max. Note the lack of trigger discipline, though, knowing how this character is a "gangsta" who learned what he knows of guns on television (Noted in the script), this is likely a deliberate directorial decision.

Steyr SPP

A Steyr SPP is seen in the hands of a bodyguard at Club Fever. The Steyr Special Purpose Pistol is the civilian version of the Steyr TMP. The major concessions the civilian model makes are the removal of the fore grip and the lack of full-auto firing capability which is rather evident since he is only seen firing it semi-auto (the full-auto bursts are heard off screen). Vincent was originally supposed to use one of these to take out a guard before using his USP.

Glock 22

We briefly see an FBI agent entering Club Fever with his FBI issue Glock 22 at the ready. When a bodyguard notices the agent with his gun drawn he mistakes him for an assailant and draws and fires his own pistol. (The identity of this weapon as a Glock 22 has been confirmed by an armorer who worked on the film.)

3rd-generation Glock 22 - .40 S&W.
