Revision as of 01:22, 1 March 2010
The following guns can be seen in the movie Air Force One:
Norinco Type 56-1
During the opening scene at the Presidential Palace in Kazakhstan, General Ivan Radek's (Jürgen Prochnow's) military guards are seen using Norinco Type 56-1 assault rifles which have been fitted with AKM-style muzzle breaks (customary for many of the Hollywood Chinese AKs, even though these were not factory-standard).
Heckler & Koch HK94A3 (mocked-up as MP5A3)
When Secret Service Agent Gibbs (Xander Berkeley) opens up the weapons storage cabinet on Air Force One for Ivan Korshunov's (Gary Oldman's) Russian ultra-nationalists, the terrorists get their hands on a number of Heckler & Koch MP5A3 submachine guns. President James Marshall (Harrison Ford) also uses one of these weapons after taking it from one of the terrorists.
The MP5A3s in this movie are the same converted HK94A3 carbines from the Stembridge Gun Rentals inventory that have appeared in numerous other motion pictures (including Predator, Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, etc.). Throughout the movie, close-ups of the guns reveal that they have the all-metal 0-1 trigger group of the HK94, as well as barrels that are missing the attachment lugs (for bayonets, flash hiders, and other accessories).
Heckler & Koch MP5K
A single Heckler & Koch MP5K is among the weapons taken by the terrorists from the weapons cabinet. President Marshall also uses this weapon at one point in the film, and it is also picked up by his wife Grace (Wendy Crewson) while Marshall and Korshunov are fighting.
MP5Ks are also used by many of the U.S./Russian special operators who capture General Radek early in the film, but their guns are fitted with threaded barrels and sound suppressors.
Colt M4A1
The terrorists also take several early-spec Colt M4A1 carbine assault rifles from the weapons cabinet, all of which have had their carry handles removed and replaced with C-More optical sights (they also have something attached to the barrel...laser sights?) Ivan Korshunov uses this weapon when the terrorists first start to take control of the plane, firing in vain at the cockpit door at one point. The special forces soldiers who are sent to retrieve President Marshall's escape mod also carry these weapons.
(I'm actually NOT 100% positive about this - for all I know, they might be civilian ARs visually modified to look like mil-spec M4s, with auto sears installed. If they are legit, then I think this means Air Force One might be the very first Hollywood film to feature the M4.)
SIG-Sauer P226
The Secret Service Agents on Air Force One are armed mostly with SIG-Sauer P226 pistols. When the terrorists take over the plane, many of them also use these pistols; Ivan Korshunov carries a P226, which he is commonly seen using to threaten and/or execute hostages.
In real life, the Secret Service would have mostly been using the smaller SIG P228 and P229 at the time of the film's production.
Beretta 92FS
Agent Gibbs (Xander Berkeley) uses a Beretta 92FS fitted with a suppressor to execute the Secret Service Agents guarding the weapons cabinet. Some of the other Secret Service Agents on board Air Force One also use them. There is an interesting continuity error in the film, where one Agent (who is trying to evacuate President Marshall via the escape pod) switches from a SIG P226 to a Beretta 92F (see below).
Unknown short-barreled AK variant
During the scene where General Radek is about to be released from prison, several of his troops land at the front gate in an Mi-24 Hind helicopter gunship and then line up to greet him. All of them are using an AK variation of unknown make and model. They look identical to the short-barreled AK used by Art Malik in True Lies, which is almost certainly not a coincidence because Harry Lu was the armorer on both movies; the only difference is that the guns have been fitted with side-folding stocks for Air Force One (which appear to have been borrowed from Hungarian AMD-65s).
AKM
The guards at the Russian prison fire at General Radek as he flees with AKM rifles, which may be correct because prison guards are considered rear echelon troops.
