Falling Down
 Nice, but where's the trigger? This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it. |
'The following firearms were used in the movie Falling Down:
Intratec TEC-DC9
The Intratec TEC-DC9 is first used by a member of the Latino street gang during the drive-by shooting, then used by William 'D-Fens' Foster (Michael Douglas) in the scene at the Whammyburger restaurant.
M72 LAW
An M72 LAW is used by William 'D-Fens' Foster to destroy a large crane. It was obtained from the store of the Neo-Nazi surplus seller. The weapon is inaccurately portrayed as a heat-seeking guided missile, as opposed to an unguided rocket (its real-life role).
IMI Uzi
An Uzi is used by William 'D-Fens' Foster to wound a member of the street gang. There are rubber bands around the grip to help steady the shot. It can also be seen at the hands of one of the gang members before the failed drive-by shooting.
Beretta 92F
A Beretta 92F is seen in the holster of an LAPD officer.
Taurus PT92
A Taurus PT92 is first used by Nick the Neo-Nazi owner of the surplus store (Frederic Forrest) to threaten William 'D-Fens' Foster, and used by Foster himself to shoot and kill him.
MAC-10
A MAC-10 is used by William 'D-Fens' Foster to destroy a phone booth.
Sawed-off Remington 870
A cut-down Remington 870 shotgun with a pistol grip in place of the buttstock is used by William 'D-Fens' Foster to shoot a golf cart and accidentally threaten the caretaker of a rich doctor's house.
Unidentified Revolver
Seen only in the scene after the failed drive-by shooting. The gun is seen hanging from the door of the crashed car, and is picked up by William 'D-Fens' Foster. The weapon is not given much screen time, which leads to the conclusion that it could be a .38 revolver of some sort.
It might be a S&W Model 64.
Colt MkIV Series 70
A Colt MK IV Series 70 is used in the final scenes in which William 'D-Fens' Foster pursues his family and subsequently gets shot by Detective Martin Prendergast (Robert Duvall). The gun was most likely obtained from the "gun bag" of the Latino gang. Notice the two tone Blued finish typical of the Colt MK IV Series 70 pistols.
Smith & Wesson Model 19
A Smith & Wesson Model 19 Snub is picked up by Detective Martin Prendergrast (Robert Duvall) from his wounded partner Samantha Torres (Rachel Ticotin). It is used to shoot William 'D-Fens' Foster.
Smith & Wesson Model 15
The S&W Model 15 .38 cal revolver with 4 inch barrel is the service weapon of Detective Martin Prendergrast (Robert Duvall). He hands it over to the police clerk at the beginning of the movie due to his impending retirement.
