Romeo + Juliet

The following guns were used in the film Romeo + Juliet

Para Ordnance P-13 Stainless

This is the sidearm carried by Leonardo DiCaprio as Romeo, later used by Juliet to shoot herself in the head. During the gas station shootout, the pink-haired Montague Boy packs a customized gold-plated version.

Para-Ordnance P-13 - .45 ACP.

Romeo's pistol with gold detailing.

Taurus PT99

Most of the 9mm handguns used in the movie by various characters are Taurus PT99 pistols (a variant of the PT92 with raised, adjustable sights) with a number of modifications to make them look "artsy". In addition, the guns' brand names are particular types of knives and swords, so that the filmmakers did not have to change the original dialog by Shakespeare.

MAG-7 shotgun

The "Longsword" which Ted Montague reaches for is actually a South African-manufactured Techno Arms MAG-7 shotgun (it is difficult to tell from the scene in the movie whether it is the original MAG-7 or the civilian MAG-7M1 sold in the United States, which has a fixed wooden stock and a longer barrel).

Walther P-5

Juliet (Claire Danes) holds a black pistol to her head, probably a Walther P-5 with pearl grips.

Special: This gun was later used (with a silencer) by Willem Dafoe in The Boondock Saints. Charles Taylor was the armorer on both The Boondock Saints and Romeo + Juliet, and his company MAG supplied all guns for both shows. It could be the same P5; the pearl grips might have simply been removed for the later film. -MT2008

Touché. Well researched.

Glock 17

A Generation 3 Glock 17 9x19mm. Note the finger grooves, thumb reliefs, and accessory rail on the frame, which differentiate it from the older model.

Colt M16A1

Near the end of the film, one of the Verona Beach Police SWAT officers in the background holds an M16A1 rifle. A number of M16A1 rifles can be seen in the hands of the Verona Beach Police SWAT officers in the film.
