Barb Wire

Barb Wire (1996)

The following weapons were used in the film Barb Wire:

Handguns

Desert Eagle .357

Two-tone .357 Desert Eagle pistol is seen in the hands of Barbara "Barb Wire" Kopetski (Pamela Anderson). The pistols are also seen used by thugs and killers in the film as well.

These two-tone .357 Desert Eagles were custom built for Barb Wire by Ellis Mercantile. The receiver is polished stainless steel and the slide and barrel are blued. Only two were built for Pamela Anderson to use on the show. - Phoenixent

SIG-Sauer P228 (Custom)

Also among the weapons used by Barb Wire is a custom two-tone SIG-Sauer P228 with Wilcox UITC laser sight that had previously been used in the 1995 film Virtuosity. This gun was converted by Ellis Props & Graphics (who supplied the weapons for both Virtuosity and this film). Alexander Willis (Xander Berkeley) also uses the pistol.

SIG-Sauer P226

A gunman uses what appears to be a suppressed SIG-Sauer P226 while chasing down Barb Wire.

Beretta 92SB

Colonel Pryzer (Steve Railsback) uses a Beretta 92SB in the film.

Beretta Model 92SB - 9x19mm (note rounded trigger guard and flat bottom magazine).

Colonel Pryzer (Steve Railsback) ducks after experiencing a 'stove pipe' jam with his Beretta 92SB. Either the blank 'stuck in the vertical position' is the filthiest blank ever (blanks are very "sooty") or it's one of those black plastic star crimped blanks. Sure looks like someone's black leather gloved 'thumb' sticking out of the pistol, doesn't it?

Beretta 92FS

One of the weapons Barb is seen loading up in the van is a Beretta 92FS.

M1911A1

Axel Hood (Temuera Morrison) is seen carrying a custom M1911A1 pistol with what appears to be a (early made "Laser Products") Surefire 310R weaponlight accessory. The pistol appears to be very similar to the ones seen in the film Speed.

Rifles

M16A1 with A2 Handguards

M16A1 rifles fitted with A2 handguards are used by the Congressional soldiers and SHPD officers.

M16A1 with A2 style handguards - 5.56x45mm. Putting the distinctive A2 handguards on the older rifle was a method used by Movie/TV armorers to simulate A2 rifles when M16A1s were the only ones available. The same thing has been done vice-versa, Using M16A2's with A1 handguards for Vietnam War B Movies.

MGC M16 Replica Rifles

In scenes when the rifle is not fired, MGC M16 rifles with A2 style handguards and A1 Birdcages attached are carried by Congressional soldiers. They also have 30 round magazines rather 'sloppily' crammed into the magazine well (the MGC guns have a proprietary magazine and the mag well doesn't take STANAG magazines without modification).

Heckler & Koch SP89 (mocked up as MP5K)

When Barb is forced to give up her weapons during a confrontation at the junkyard, one of the weapons seen is a nickel plated Heckler & Koch SP89 made to look like an MP5K by adding the MP5K foregrip. It can be noted as an SP89 instead of an MP5K due to the lack of a paddle magazine release behind the magazine and lack of a push-pin lower receiver. This appears to be the same converted custom SP89 seen in the 1994 film Speed.

When Barb is surrounded by the police and is forced to disarm herself, she drops the Nickel plated 'fake' MP5K (actually a converted SP89) - 9mm on the pile of guns and bandoleers.

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

During a confrontation with Big Fatso's gang, Barb is seen with an authentic Heckler & Koch MP5A3 that is fitted with a slimline handguard.

Heckler & Koch HK94A3 (chopped and converted)

A guard at the club is seen carrying a Heckler & Koch HK94A3 collapsing stock civilian guns with 16" barrels chopped and converted to resemble an MP5A3 with a Surefire light dedicated forend. The HK94 is likely the same one seen in such films as Speed, Die Hard, and Air Force One.

Shotguns

Mossberg 500 Cruiser

The Mossberg 500 Cruiser is seen used by thugs and members of Big Fatso's gang. Some of these shotguns appear to be prop replicas.

Mossberg 500 Bullpup (Modified)

Congressional Directorate soldiers as well as officers of the Steel Harbor Police Department carry what appears to be the bullpup variant of the Mossberg 500. This variant also is seen in Barb Wire's weapons cabinet.

Armories and Weapons Cache

Night Club Gun Check room

The Hammerhead, Barb's nightclub, has a gun check room which features a plethora of weapons. The denizens of Steel Harbor seem to favor several guns over all others. They usually carry M16s, Uzis, Desert Eagles or Mossberg 500 Shotguns.

As a patron gives up his pistols, several rifles and pistols are seen in the gun check.

Barb Wire Disarmed

When Barb is surrounded by the police, she is told to 'drop her weapons'. She ends up creating this impossible pile of weapons and bandoleers at her feet.

Among the weapons seen on the ground is a Ruger Mini-14, Uzi, and the custom SIG. So that's where she was keeping them.

Barb Wire's Office Armory
