Shoot 'Em Up

The following guns were used in the film Shoot 'Em Up:

Shoot 'Em Up (2007)

Walther PPK

At the beginning of the film, the Baby's Mother (Ramona Pringle) draws a Walther PPK from her purse and uses it to try and kill the 1st Killer (Wiley M. Pickett). The gun jams on her but luckily Mr. Smith (Clive Owen) is there just in time to save her. After killing 1st Killer with a carrot (I known it's insane), he fixes the malfunctioned gun and uses it for the entire first shoot out before running out of ammo.

Walther PPK - .32 ACP.

The Mother fires her Walther PPK at the 1st Killer.

The Walther PPK jams on the Mother, although it would appear as if the gun just locked empty. When Smith picks it up to use it, he simply releases the slide, instead of clearing a jam. We can assume the weapons coordinator loaded only one blank in it and later just stuck a loaded magazine in it for the next scene.

Mr. Smith fires the Walther PPK at the bad guys.

Smith rolls out from cover and shoots an oil tank on a nearby truck so he can use it to slide and shoot, another ridiculous logic.

Smith dispatches multiple bad guys by diving through a window over their cover and landing right in front of them. It doesn't appear as if he is aiming though, more like he is just firing and moving his arm left and right until they are all dead.

Smith opens the title for the film.

Smith reloads the Walther PPK.

Smith shoots the baby's umbilical cord (which looks very CG) with the PPK. The muzzle flash is a post production edit as noted by how the hammer stays down and the gun doesn't cycle.

The PPK runs empty, but he racks the slide repeatedly like it broke or something. This is indicated for sure by the next line.

"What a piece of crap." Smith throws away the PPK after it goes empty, apparently thinking it broke. This is likely a jab at the fact this is James Bond's sidearm, and Clive Owen was at one point suggested to play this role.

Magnum Research Desert Eagle Mark XIX

Mr. Bill Hertz (Paul Giamatti) uses a brushed chrome Magnum Research Desert Eagle Mark XIX chambered in .44 Magnum and fitted with a custom muzzle break as his sidearm in the film, which the director chose as his weapon because he improperly believed it to be "the most powerful handgun in the world" and wanted to portray Hertz as a "pussy with a gun in his hand", as quoted in the film.

A notable mistake in the film is during the scene in which Hertz interigates Donna Quintano (Monica Bellucci) or "D.Q" by burning her with the hot barrel of his Desert Eagle, firing it more times increasingly to make it hotter. Smith interupts and Hertz points his Desert Eagle at him, only for Smith to tell him he's "blown his load", claiming the gun is a six-shooter, when infact the .44 Magnum model holds eight shots plus one in the chamber. For that matter, none of the Desert Eagle variants hold six shots, including the largest .50 AE model, which holds seven rounds plus one.

Magnum Research Desert Eagle Mark XIX chrome - .50 Action Express. .44 Magnum is the version used in the film.

Right away we see see what type of person Hertz is when he kills his own man for squirming too much and ruining his shot. For this scene, a low powered blank and protective clothing were used so the actor would not be killed by the round at close range. What made this scene dangerous is that full powered blanks are loaded after that so Hertz could continue firing at Smith. This shot compares the film version to the special features version where we see the CGI blood added in.

Smith dissarms Hertz of his Desert Eagle and holds it on him.

Close up on the Desert Eagle as Smith holds it on Hertz.

Hertz points out to Smith that his Desert Eagle is fitted with a "state-of-the-art" thumb print safety device so only he can fire it. Charles Taylor designed this by adding a lights to the grip, one light blue for the thumb, and one that turned either red or green to confirm authorization of the user. Note the .44 Magnum stamp on the nose of the gun.

"Come on Smith, guns don't kill people -- but they sure help."

"Can't talk right now honey, I'm right in the middle of something."

Hertz struggles to raise his Desert Eagle at the end of the film.

Taurus PT92 AFS

Smith (Clive Owen) takes a Taurus PT92 AFS off of one of the thugs on the rooftop and uses it for a good 1/4th of the film.

Smith takes the Taurus PT92 AFS off of on of the thugs on the roof after knocking him out by throwing Hert'z Desert Eagle at his head. Note how the slide clearly reads "PT 92 AFS".

Smith fires his Taurus PT92 AFS during the rooftop shootout. With this gun, he takes a sign that says "FAULKLAND TRUCK AND TOOL" and shoots it so it says "FUK U" (the camera ignores the "TOOL" part for another joke later).

Smith accidentally drops his PT92 AFS in a dirty toilet while hidding in a bathroom stall, so he takes it to the baby changing station to clean it.

Smith dissasembles the PT92 AFS to clean all the parts, all while The Lone Man (Greg Byrk) nears closer.

Smith reassembles the gun just in time and chambers it as Lone Man yells through the bathroom door.

An excellent close up of the PT92 AFS when Smith tries to fire it through the bathroom door, only for it to misfire do to wet ammunition.

As Lone Man tries to stab Smith with a Stilleto knife, he puts the PT92 AFS under a hand drier to dry the wet bullets. The chance of this working is pretty slim.

Smith fires his PT92 AFS at the playground, using it to shoot the spinning carousel the baby is on so Hertz can't shoot him.

Smith fires his PT92 AFS some more at the carousel. Once he is about three feet from it, it is questionable as to why he doesn't just spin it with his hand instead of "expend his second cartridge on the playground", as Hertz innaccurately states.

Smith kills a bad guy in his house with his PT92 AFS before it runs empty.

Glock 17

Glock 17 pistols (both 2nd and 3rd generation) are used by several of Hertz's (Paul Giamatti) thugs throughout the film. At one point in the film, Smith takes a 3rd gen Glock 17 from a dead thug and holds it on Hertz, but Hert tells him the gun has the same thumb print safety as his Desert Eagle (which conveniently fits right in the thumb relief). Smith then reveals the severed hand of the owner and activates the safety just in time to shoot Hertz in the bullet proof vest before he stabs him with a hunk of glass. He then remarks, "Nothing like a good hand-job." We later see him produce a tutone model with a chrome slide in the Hammerson factory, which he tosses away, setting off a trip wire and killing a thug holding a gun on him. This same tutone Glock is used by the Diner Holdup Leader (David Ury) at the end of the film.

SIG-Sauer P226

During the shootout in his house, Smith grabs a tutone SIG-Sauer P226 with a newer milled slide and uses it throughout the shootout before it runs dry. Smith also uses a K-Kote model taken from a secret service agent to hold up Senator Rutledge (Daniel Pilon) on his plane and uses it during the ridiculous sky diving shootout.

SIG-Sauer P226R

SIG-Sauer P226R pistols (SIG P226s with picattiny rails on the frame nose) are used by several of Hertz's men. Technically these are now the official P226s but on this site we still call them P226Rs for easier categorization.

SIG-Sauer P228

Aside from the SIG P226 Smith draws off a Secret Serviceman, the other USSS members use SIG-Sauer P228 pistols, despite the fact that the USSS currently uses P229s, not P228s.

Heckler & Koch USP-9

Smith (Clive Owen) takes a Heckler & Koch USP-9 with a stainless slide off of a thug in his house after his SIG runs out of ammo. He mainly uses it for the shootout in the Hammerson factory. Smith is also prominently seen armed with two of these tutone USPs on the film's poster.
