Hitman (2007)

Hitman (2007)

Hitman (2007) is a film adaptation of the popular video game series, starring Timothy Olyphant as the titular character, who goes by the codename of Agent 47. Also see IMFDB's pages for the video games, including Hitman: Blood Money, Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, and Hitman: Contracts.

The following guns can be seen in this film:

Para-Ordnance P18.9

Agent 47 (Timothy Olyphant)'s main weapons throughout the movie are two stainless steel-finished Para-Ordnance P18.9 1911 clone pistols, which are sometimes fitted with suppressors. Proper ID of the weapons can be obtained through various sources related to the movie, including the movie's web site (which, despite naming them as AMT Silverballers, clearly show a Para-Ordnance P18.9), DVD special features, publicity shots and a few fleeting close-up shots in the movie. Despite a scene in which 47 tells Nika (Olga Kurylenko) that his guns are .45s, the P18.9 is actually a high-capacity 9x19mm clone of the 1911. These pistols were picked because Xavier Gens (director) is one of those John Woo wannabes and wanted a high capacity gun that didn't need to be frequently reloaded.

Special

Weapons Coordinator Christophe Maratier shows off one of the Para-Ordnance P18s used in the film.

Christophe Maratier fires blanks downrange through the P18, trying to trick the audience into thinking he is firing real rounds. The most obvious giveaway is the lack of recoil. Also, for a weapons coordinator, he flinches every time as if he is inexperianced.

They even try to give us the impression he is firing a one-hole group, even though he is shooting blanks.

Maratier also shows off a flashpaper copy of the P18 and shows off its ability to shoot close to skin.

Para-Ordnance LDA

At the end of the shootout at Udre Belicoff's (Henry Ian Cusick's) place, Agent 47 grabs a Para-Ordinance LDA ("light double action") pistol from Udre's arms stash. He then uses the gun to execute Udre.

RPD

Udre Belicoff (Henry Ian Cusick) can be seen dual-wielding two RPD light machine guns during the shootout at his palace. Udre's guns seem to have black synthetic stocks and grips instead of the usual wood and Bakelite furniture, indicating that they may be a more modern derivative of non-Russian manufacture.

Special

Crew members sling the RPDs on Henry Ian Cusick's shoulders.

Unfortunately for us, the RPDs used in the film were already being used on another film (Maratier called them PKs), so weapons coordinator Christophe Maratier fires an FN M240B machine gun loaded with blanks for comparison.

Maratier works the charging handle on the M204B.

Maratier fires the M240B to the point where flame develops. Even though he is firing blanks, the recoil nearly knocks him off the table.

Heckler & Koch P2000

Interpol Special Agent Mike Whittier (Dougray Scott)'s main weapon throughout the movie is a Heckler & Koch P2000 handgun with a laser pointer attachment.

Heckler & Koch USP (Custom Sport?)

Interpol Special Agent Jenkins (Michael Offei)'s main weapon throughout the movie is a Heckler & Koch USP handgun with a light attachment. The weapon has tall adjustable sights, so it is possible that this is the USP Custom Sport variant. The Custom Sport was never imported to the United States, but since this film was done in Bulgaria, it's possible that the Bulgarian armorers who worked on the film did have access to one of these pistols.

Jenkins aims his USP at the elevator where the commandos have just been slaughtered by 47. Note the adjustable sights in this picture, which suggests that his USP is a Custom Sport.

Heckler & Koch MG36

A Heckler & Koch MG36 light machine gun (recognizable by the bipod fitted to the weapon) can be seen sitting on the glass table at Udre Belicoff's palace.

Blaser 93

Agent 47 (Timothy Olyphant) uses the Blaser 93 sniper rifle when he kills Russian President Mikhail Belicoff (Ulrich Thomsen). He is seen with the Blaser 93 at the end of the movie, using the scope to see Nika from a distance, and killing another hitman who tries to kill Nika (also armed with a Blaser 93). The Blaser 93 is 47's main sniper rifle in the first Hitman game, Hitman: Codename 47.

Arsenal AR and AR-F

One of the most commonly seen assault rifles in the movie is the Bulgarian-manufactured Arsenal AR, along with its folding-stock version, the AR-F. These are the AK-47-type rifles that are used by the Russian Alpha commandos and seen on the table and walls in Udre Belicoff's palace. Agent 47 himself also briefly uses a heavily kitted-out Arsenal AR at Udre's place during the big shootout. The AR is a modernized version of the original AK-47 which features the same milled receiver of the older rifle, but with black synthetic furniture and several other improvements. Because Hitman was filmed mostly in Bulgaria, it makes sense that the Bulgarian armorers who worked on the movie would have had easy access to weapons made in their own country, hence the frequent use of these rifles.

Interestingly, all of the Bulgarian AR rifles in the movie seem to be fitted with East German-style blank-firing adapters (BFAs) on the muzzles, which are clearly visible in all of the screencaps below.

AK-47

Quite a few original milled-receiver AK-47s can also be seen in the film. They are used first by the rebel fighters in Niger at the beginning of the movie, and again by the Russian Alpha guards at Udre Belicoff's funeral (it is most likely that their use is supposed to be ceremonial, in much the same way that M14 rifles are used by U.S. Honor Guards).

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

During the shootout at Udre Belicoff's palace, Agent 47 arms himself with two Heckler & Koch MP5A3 fitted with tri-rails that are sitting on the table. A notable goof is that he never slaps down the bolts after he loads in the magazines, yet a split second later, both guns are fully cocked and he begins shooting with them.

Many of Mikhail Belicoff's bodyguards are also armed with MP5A3s, though theirs do not have the tri-rail.

47 raises the MP5s to fire. Note that the bolts are still locked back in the open position, rendering the weapons inoperable. Yet a second later, with no time to have slapped them down, 47 raises the guns and fires.

He fires both MP5s on full-auto, one-handed.

Unknown M1911 derivative

When Agent 47 is in his hotel room early in the film, he has an unknown nickel-plated M1911-type pistol sitting on the edge of the sink which is clearly not one of his Para-Ordnance P18.9s (the bore diameter is obviously .45, not 9mm) and doesn't seem to have Para-Ordnance styling of any sort. Another nickel/stainless 1911 with pearl or ivory grips is briefly seen in Udre Belicoff's palace.

It might be an AMT Hardballer.-GunnutHk

The Hardballer is most distinctive for having a much longer slide than a standard 1911. This gun doesn't. -MT2008

Well technically the Hardballer Longslide does but a standard Harballer is 5", which is what the guns in the game were (except in Blood Money they could be upgraded with long slides). But the next two screencaps are definately not a Hardballer. The top one could be though. - Gunmaster45

I dont know, but is the grip a little wide? Double stack maybe? The Winchester

Well, then maybe the AMT Hardliner.-GunnutHk

What is a "Hardliner"? Also, if you meant the Hardballer - the Hardballer is not a double-stack 1911. -MT2008

I know the Harballer and there is a Hardliner.-GunnutHk

Colt MKIV Series 70 pistol - .45 ACP with stainless steel finish (the gun in the movie is probably not one of these)

FN P90

The Interpol SWAT team led by Agent Whittier is armed mostly with FN P90 submachine guns. Another P90 can be seen briefly on the table at Udre Belicoff's palace.

Arsenal Shipka

The first weapon that Udre Belicoff shows off to his clients is a Bulgarian Arsenal Shipka submachine gun, which fires the same 9x18mm ammunition as the Makarov. However, he claims that it is a "Kedr 9mm compact", referring to the Russian-made Kedr PP-91. Agent 47 remarks that it's actually a "Chinese copy", but in reality, the Chinese do not manufacture a copy of the PP-91.

Both Udre and Agent 47 have mis-identified this weapon. A close inspection reveals that the gun they both handle is most definitely a Shipka and not a Kedr PP-91. Pictures of both weapon types are shown below for comparison's sake.

Arsenal Shipka 9x18mm (this is definitely the type of machine pistol used in the film)

47 holding the Shipka. This screenshot gives a better view of the shape of the gun; you can clearly see that the shape of the folding stock is far more like that of the Shipka than that of the Kedr.

Makarov PM

During the weapons deal at his palace, Udre Belicoff (Henry Ian Cusick) points a Makarov PM at a hooker's eye and then fires it at Agent 47. Being ignorant of guns in general, despite being an illegal arms dealer, Udre claims that the Makarov PM fires .22LR ammunition. Yet another in a long series of factually false statements by Belicoff. To be fair, there was a .22 LR conversion kit available for the Makarov ([1]), but it seems unlikely that Udre would know this.

M4A1 with M203 Grenade Launcher

During the shootout at the hotel, one of the Russian Alpha commandos who gets shot by Agent 47 in the elevator is armed with an M4A1 Carbine with an M203 grenade launcher.

Later at his palace, Udre Belicoff shows off another M4/M203 combo (which appears to be the exact same prop gun used by the commando earlier in the movie), but inaccurately describes it as an "M203 with under-barrel grenade launcher"(!?!) as well as claiming that the weapon fires 7.62x39mm ammunition, even though it actually fires 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition. This is one of the many factually inaccurate statements that Udre makes about the weapons he is selling, as Agent 47 himself points out.

Udre shows off another M4A1/M203, which he mis-identifies as an "M203 with under-barrel grenade launcher" that fires 7.62x39mm ammunition.

Another view of the same scene above.

Special

In the weapons DVD feature, no M4s are seen, and the title of the guns are simply "M16". Here we see a man showing off a CAR-15, likely a Model 723 or 725 with an M4-style barrel to accept a grenade launcher.

Weapons coordinator Christophe Maratier shows off a slab-side CAR-15 outfitted with a replica ACOG, foregrip, tactical flashlight, and an aluminum birdcage to resemble a modern M4. Apparently this was used in the film.

Maratier fires the CAR-15 with blanks, and once again we have a fake target shot to make us think he is firing live rounds.

Here we see a double shot made to look like multiple camera angles when it is obvious the second shot is reversed.

Micro Uzi

A Micro Uzi is one of the weapons used in the shootout at Udre Bellicoff's palace.

Maratier fires the Micro Uzi downrage, which makes the typical "Uzi-sound" when firing. Also note how the fake target shot has bullet holes far too small to be left by 9mm rounds.

Dragunov SVD

An assassin attempting to kill Agent 47 uses an SVD Dragunov. If you watch closely, it jams on the second shot, yet fires the third seconds later.

The hitman with the SVD aims at 47...

...and as he fires, his rifle clearly jams. Note that he's also closing his eyes and looking down. Seems rather unbecoming of a highly-trained assassin.

Taurus PT92

Taurus PT92 pistols are used by the other hitmen from The Organization in the fight scene on the train. The guns are modified with some type of custom-built compensator.
