Man on Fire is a 1987 Italian-French action thriller starring Scott Glenn as Christopher Creasy, a burnt-out former CIA operative who is hired to be the bodyguard of Samantha Balletto, the twelve-year-old daughter of a wealthy Italian businessman. Just as Creasy and Samantha become friends, she is kidnapped by the mafia. Suffering from a serious wound sustained during the kidnapping, a weakened Creasy is determined to get Samantha back at all costs. The film was based on the 1980 novel of the same name written by A. J. Quinnell, and would subsequently be remade as a 2004 feature film adaptation directed by Tony Scott and starring Denzel Washington as John Creasy.
The following weapons were used in the film Man on Fire (1987):
Pistols
Benelli B76
During the kidnapping one of the criminals is armed with a Benelli B76 pistol. A Benelli B76 is one of the handguns, used by Creasy (Scott Glenn) in his crusade.
Creasy holds Conti (Danny Aiello) at gunpoint.
Beretta 92SB-C
Creasy (Scott Glenn) uses mainly a Beretta 92SB-C while attempting to rescue Samantha.
Creasy threatens Rabbia (Franco Trevisi) by putting the Beretta at his privates.
SIG P210
When Creasy performs his bodyguard duties, he carries a SIG P210.
Beretta M1934
When Creasy performs his bodyguard duties, a Beretta M1934 is Creasy's (Scott Glenn) backup gun. In the final scene a police detective holds a Beretta M1934.
Beretta M1951
Snake (Giuseppe Cederna), another kidnapper, uses a Beretta M1951 in several scenes. In some scenes it appears to have a faux suppressor.
Beretta Model 70
Violente (Lou Castel), one of the kidnappers, uses a Beretta Model 70.
Beretta 80 Series
What appears to be a Beretta 80 Series pistol, is also seen in gun box. It's hard to identify the exact model though Beretta 85 seems to be a possible guess.
Luger P08
What appears to be a Luger P08 is seen in hands of Conti's henchman.
Walther PPK
A blued Walther PPK with brown plastic grips is seen in the gun box. It isn't used in action.
Revolvers
Smith & Wesson Model 10 Snub Nose
A Smith & Wesson Model 10 Snub Nose revolver is used by a kidnapper. Same looking revolver is seen in hands of another kidnapper, Violente (Lou Castel), in the scene in Sandri's hideout.
Colt Python Snub Nose
A Colt Python Snub Nose revolver is seen in the gun box. David (Joe Pesci) keeps it for himself. In the final scene a young criminal (Henri-Charles Alexandre) uses same looking revolver.
Smith & Wesson Model 66 Snub Nose
What appears to be a Smith & Wesson Model 66 Snub Nose is used by Conti (Danny Aiello).
Submachine Guns
Beretta M12
Beretta M12 SMGs are used by Italian police.
Sten Mk II
A Sten Mk II is seen in Sandri's hideout.
MP40
An MP40 is seen in Sandri's hideout.
Thompson M1928A1
An M1928A1 Thompson (or possibly M1921) with 50-round drum magazine and removed buttstock is seen in Sandri's hideout.
MAT-49
In the flashback scene in Beirut one of the combatants holds a weapon that resembles a MAT-49.
Shotguns
Manufrance Rapid
One of Conti's henchmen holds a Manufrance Rapid with pistol grip (this grip is some aftermarket variant, possibly from Remington 870). Another Manufrance Rapid with full stock is seen in Sandri's hideout.
Sawed-Off Double Barrel Shotgun
A Sawed-Off Double Barrel Shotgun is seen in Sandri's hideout.
Assault Rifles
Adler-Jäger AP-74
In the flashback scene in Beirut one of the combatants holds some version of M16. Several M16s of nondescript model are seen in Sandri's hideout. Three-prong flash hiders and the fact that the movie was filmed in Italy allows to guess that M16s are Italian produced .22 caliber Adler-Jäger AP-74s.
Adler-Jäger AP-74/I
A subcompact M16-style carbine with folding stock and wooden furniture is seen in Sandri's hideout. It appears to be an Adler-Jäger AP-74/I, version of Adler-Jäger AP-74.
Adler-Jäger AP-80
In the flashback scene in Beirut one of the combatants holds an AK variant. Its slim magazine allows to guess that it could be an Adler-Jäger AP-80, an Italian .22 LR replica of the AK-47.
Other Weapons
M9 "Bazooka"
An M9 "Bazooka" is seen in Sandri's hideout.
