Death Wish 3 (1985)

Death Wish 3 is the third installment in the Death Wish film series. In this 1985 sequel, Paul Kersey, aka "The Vigilante", finds himself battling street punks in order to bring peace back to a once quiet New York neighborhood. Despite the New York setting, the film was actually made in England.

The following weapons were used in the film Death Wish 3:

Handguns

Wildey Hunter

A Wildey Hunter with an 8" barrel is Paul Kersey's (Charles Bronson) main weapon in the film (in real life, the gun was Bronson's personal pistol).

Bennett: "Is that like a .44 Magnum?"
Paul Kersey: "No, a .44 Magnum is a pistol cartridge and a .475 Wildey Magnum is a shorter version of the African big gain cartridge. Makes a real mess."

Machine Guns

Rifles

M16 rifle

A M16 is seen used by several punks towards the end of the movie. The rifle is hard to identify because there is never a real clear shot or close-up of it. It is unknown whether this is an actual M16 or just a replica such as an MGC M16.
