Killer Elite (2011)

Killer Elite is a 2011 thriller starring Jason Statham as a former hitman who is forced to complete a mission or else his kidnapped mentor will be executed. The film co-stars Clive Owen, Yvonne Strahovski, Dominic Purcell, and Robert De Niro. Despite the similar name, this film is not a remake of the 1975 Sam Peckinpah film The Killer Elite. It is based on the novel "The Feather Men" (1991) by Sir Ranulph Fiennes (who is the cousin of actors Ralph Fiennes and Joseph Fiennes).


The following weapons were used in the film Killer Elite:


Handguns

Browning Hi-Power

Spike (Clive Owen) is seen threatening Danny Bryce (Jason Statham) with a Browning Hi-Power. As a devoted former SAS man, this is an obvious choice for Spikes pistol due to it being the issued sidearm of the SAS

A Heckler & Koch P7M13 is carried by the MI6 man (David Whiteley) when he attempts to ambush Spike (Clive Owen) and Bryce (Jason Statham), until it is taken during the fighting and used by Spike

Beretta 92FS

Danny Bryce (Jason Statham) is also seen with a 92FS in Mexico and in London, this is highly anachronistic as the movie is set in 1980.

M1911A1

After running out of ammunition for the Glock, Hunter switches to a M1911A1-type pistol with blonde wood grips. One of the targets, Harris (Lachy Hulme), is later seen giving a M1911A1 for his wife to fire during a party.

SIG-Sauer P226

The Agent (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) has a SIG-Sauer P226 in his waistband, which Danny takes when forcing him to divulge some information. Davies (Dominic Purcell) wields a P226 during the desert tunnel chase. The weapon is another anachronism, since the P226 was developed after 1980, the year in which the film is set.

Unknown rifle

During the desert tunnel chase, Martin (Ben Mendelsohn), one of the ex-SAS "Locals", can be seen wielding a .22 caliber rifle fitted with a wire stock. This could possibly be a Henry US Survival break-down rifle.

The man runs with the rifle in hand.
