American Ninja 4: The Annihilation is a 1990 martial arts action film that is the fourth installment in American Ninja film series. The Annihilation stars both Michael Dudikoff as Joe Armstrong and David Bradley as Sean Davidson. They oppose Muslim terrorist Sheikh Masood and his military adviser Scott Mulgrew, a former British Colonel who now commands a force of high trained ninjas. Directed by Cedric Sundstrom, the movie was filmed in South Africa, hence the choice of firearms.
The following weapons were used in the film American Ninja 4: The Annihilation:

What appears to be a Browning Hi-Power is carried by O'Reilly (Frantz Dobrowsky), the chief of local police and Mulgrew's faithful servant. Some police officers carry same looking pistols. Trigger guards of some pistols appear to be more angular so these ones are possibly some clones, like FEG P9R.
