Murder At 1600 (1997)

The following weapons were used in the film Murder At 1600:

Handguns

Glock 17

Detective Harlan Regis (Wesley Snipes) carries a Gen 2 Glock 17 as his service weapon. All of the other Washington, DC police officers also use Glock 17s. The Glock 17 used by Wesley Snipes in this movie was eventually auctioned off by Heritage Auctions in 2018 (pictures from the listing appear below).

Beretta 92FS Inox

Secret Service Agent Nina Chance (Diane Lane) carries a Beretta 92FS Inox as her weapon of choice throughout the movie, even though this weapon has never been approved for Secret Service use in real life.

Beretta 92FS

Some of the Secret Service Agents in the film use Beretta 92FS pistols, yet another weapon which has never been issued to the Secret Service. One of the assassins who fights Regis in Spikings' home also uses one.

SIG-Sauer P226

Many of the Secret Service agents in the movie can be seen using the SIG-Sauer P226 as their sidearm, including Agent Nick Spikings (Daniel Benzali), the Chief of White House Security. It seems to be rather common for 1990s action movies to depict Secret Service agents using the P226 as their duty weapons (see also, for instance, Air Force One) even though in real life the P226 has never been used by the Secret Service. There is an interesting scene in the film where Regis is forced to choose between two P226s when involved in a shootout, one of which is loaded and the other of which is not (he isn't sure which is which).

The ultimate dilemma: Two SIG P226s are in roughly the same place, and Regis has to choose the right one. One of them is Spikings' gun, which Regis knows he's already fired empty (and then stupidly hit the slide release), while the other belongs to the assassin he has just killed, and is loaded. They're the same type of gun, so he can't tell which is loaded and which isn't.

SIG-Sauer P228

During the climax, at least one Secret Service Agent is armed with a SIG-Sauer P228, a pistol which was actually used by the Secret Service at the time of the film, unlike nearly all of the other handguns seen in the hands of the agents in the film.

Glock 26

In the climax of the film, a Secret Service agent who captures Regis is armed with a Glock 26, another weapon which, like the SIG P226, has never been used by the Secret Service.

Glock 19

When Regis goes to meet Kyle Neil (Tate Donovan), the First Son, he takes a Glock 19 off of Neil, but later gives it back.

Taurus PT945

Early in the film, Detective Harlan Regis (Wesley Snipes) has to talk down a bureaucrat who is threatening to commit suicide in the middle of an intersection with a stainless Taurus PT945.

Taurus PT945 - .45 ACP. The one in the movie is an older model PT945, which has a stamped slide that looks slightly different.

Submachine Guns

Mini Uzi

Many of the Secret Service agents use Mini Uzi submachine guns whenever they are on alert, all of which seem to have their side-folding stocks removed for some reason. Although in real life, the Secret Service relied heavily upon the full version of the IMI Uzi (not the Mini version), the Service replaced it in 1995 with the Heckler & Koch MP5A3. Therefore, the agents should have been equipped with MP5s. When Detective Regis and Agent Chance are in a shootout in Spikings' house with assassins, one of the assassins is also using a Mini Uzi that has been fitted with a suppressor.

Rifles

Unknown Flattop AR Variant

In the opening scene of the film, a SWAT sniper is seen with an unknown AR-15 variant with a flattop receiver with a scope, suppressor, and bipod attached.

Unknown AR carbine

During the shootout at Spikings' house, one of the assassins uses an unknown M16 carbine variant with a suppressor and Aimpoint sight which looks somewhat like an XM177E2, but this is not certain.
