The following guns were used in the film The Jackal:

The Jackal (1997)


Browning M2HB (mocked up as KPV heavy machine gun)

The Jackal (Bruce Willis) buys a heavy machine gun from his contacts via online called 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 ~600RPM so how they got away saying it fired 1400RPM is unknown. The rounds Jackal uses are Depleted Uranium rounds, which he claims he uses for better "sprawl" on impact, even though in reality they are used because they are heavy i.e. more accurate. He notabley uses it twice in the film, once to kill Ian Lamont (Jack Black), the man who built the automated mount for him, and again to try to assassinate The First Lady (Tess Harper). The mocked up weapon was supplied by Stembridge Gun Rentals.

Jackal purchases the weapon from his contacts. Of notable error, the weapons cyclic rate is too fast, and the caliber is said to be 7.62x51mm NATO, even though it says 14.5mm at the top.

SIG-Sauer P228

SIG-Sauer P228 pistols are used by FBI Agents T. I. Witherspoon (J.K. Simmons) and McMurphy (Richard Lineback) in the film. Declan Mulqueen (Richard Gere) uses one at the end of the film when facing The Jackal (Bruce Willis), as does Isabella Zanconia (Mathilda May) when she saves Declan.

Jackal jumps past the train to get some distance between he and Declan. Here he is holding a SIG P228 but later he is seen using a Glock 17 until the end of the film.
Declan fires his SIG P228 at Jackal, and does an awful job faking the recoil. He's about a second late and over-doing it too much.

Isabella hugs Declan while holding the SIG P228.
Declan grabs her SIG and finishes off the Jackal with several shots to the chest. Since his last disguise was a cop's uniform, he would be wearing a bulletproof vest, and this typical bloody Hollywood death would not have happened.

SIG-Sauer P229

FBI Deputy Director Carter Preston (Sidney Poitier) uses a SIG-Sauer P229 as his sidearm in the film.

Heckler & Koch HK94SD

The Jackal (Bruce Willis) uses a Heckler & Koch HK94 chopped and converted to resemble a Heckler & Koch MP5A3 fitted with a fake "integral" suppressor to make it an MP5SD3. He uses it to dispatch the FBI agents in Isabella Zanconia's (Mathilda May) house.

Beretta 84FS "Cheetah"

Major Valentina Koslova (Diane Venora) uses a Beretta 84FS "Cheetah" as her sidearm in the film. The Jackal (Bruce Willis) also carries one fitted with a suppressor.

Like most actors in Hollywood, her tactic is to close her eyes and empty the gun.

CZ-83

Major Valentina Koslova (Diane Venora) uses a CZ-83 with a rounded trigger guard during the arrest in Moscow, using it to shoot Victor Politovsky (Yuri Stepanov) in the head when he tries to knife her.

Heckler & Koch SR9-TC

The Special Forces sniper Akashi (Daniel Dae Kim) carries a customized Heckler & Koch SR9-TC, which unlike most Hollywood SR9 rifles (which are in fact Heckler & Koch HK91 rifles mocked up as SR9s), it is a real SR9-TC, as noted by its forward assist. He gives the rifle to Declan Mulqueen (Richard Gere), who uses the rifle to shoot the scope off of The Jackal's (Bruce Willis) automated machine gun. Akashi then uses the rifle to shoot the gas tank and ignite the fuel, blowing up the SUV housing the gun.
