Difference between revisions of "Romeo Must Die"

Revision as of 16:07, 21 February 2010

The following firearms were seen and used in the movie, staring Jet Li.

Skorpion SA

A Vz 61 Skorpion SA is seen at the beginning of the movie in the hands of an Asian thug.

Skorpion SA Vz 61 - .32 ACP

Olympic Arms K23B "Suitcase Gun"

One of the gangsters in the shootout at the end uses a compact assault rifle hidden in a suitcase. This is a modified Olympic Arms K23B AR-15 "stubby" with a cut-down front sight and a suitcase-style carry handle affixed to the flattop upper receiver.

An Olympic Arms K23B similar to the one seen in Romeo Must Die. The one in the movie has the M4A1-style flat top receiver with a suitcase handle on top of the receiver, whereas this gun has an A2 receiver and the newer-style collapsible stock. This one also lacks the cut-down front sight of the movie gun.

Taurus PT92

Several nickel-plated Taurus PT92s can be seen in the hands of black gangbangers throughout the film.

Taurus PT92AFS (Stainless) with Slimline Black Factory Grips - 9x19mm

Walther PPK/S

Mac (Isaiah Washington) is seen using a Walther PPK/S as one of the many guns he carries throughout the film. That makes 4 guns this guy seems to carry around.

Walther PPK/S .380.

1911A1

Kai (Russell Wong) is seen using a stainless M1911A1-type pistol throughout the movie.

Stain nickel Colt M1911A1 pistol - .45 ACP.

Desert Eagle

Maurice (Anthony Anderson) uses a chrome-plated IMI Desert Eagle with a black safety and hammer. In one scene where he tries to draw this gun on Han (Jet Li), Han disarms him and throws the gun away. Maurice later gets another one (or maybe just happens to find the gun Han threw away later).

This gun is also used by a gangbanger in the club at the beginning of the movie.

Desert Eagle .50 AE Chrome

Olympic Arms K3B Commando

When the Asian and black gangsters all have guns drawn on each other at the beginning in the club, Silk (DMX) breaks up the fight by firing a shorty M4-type weapon into the ceiling. He then says, "Guns don't kill people, people kill people". This weapon looks similar to the Colt Model 933 (AKA the "M4 Commando"), but it is actually an equivalent from the Olympic Arms K3B series. It is recognized as an Olympic Arms rifle by the white lettering on the lower receiver and the four-prong "Phantom"-style flash hider.

Colt Model 933 - 5.56x45mm (the weapon in the movie is the Olympic Arms K3B equivalent)

XM177E2

Silk's bouncers in the club are seen using Colt XM177E2 carbines; however, the weapons look fake and plastic, which suggests they might be airsoft guns (unlike Silk's M4, which is definitely a real blank-converted weapon).

XM-177E2 Carbine aka Colt Model 629 aka - 5.56x45mm. This was the last variant of the XM177 rifle used in the Vietnam War.

Franchi PA3/215

A Franchi PA3/215 is seen in the hands of a black gangbanger.

Franchi PA3/215.

Norinco Type 56-1

The Chinese prison guards mostly use Norinco Type 56-1 assault rifles.

Norinco Type 56-1 (AKS-47/AKMS clone) 7.62x39mm

This guy doesn't have a magazine in. Some guard he is.

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

The guards in the Chinese prison carry Heckler & Koch MP5A3 submachine guns along with the AKs.

Besa 7.92mm machine gun

A British/Czech 7.92mm Besa machine gun is seen in the Chinese prison.

Heckler & Koch MP5K (and PDW)

Heckler & Koch MP5Ks are seen in the hands of the Chinese gang and the black gangsters. Both sides had the PDW stock. The NFL bodyguard had a regular MP5K with a brass catcher at the end of the movie in the helicopter.

Heckler & Koch MP5K 9mm

Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW 9mm

Revolvers

Seen at the end of the movie. Mac used a pair of revolvers at the end of the movie and at the end, the Chinese boss pulled out a stubby one to kill himself.

Cobray M11/9

A Cobray M11/9 is used by one of the Asian assassins on a motorcycle. It seems to be the same nickel-plated Cobray also seen in American Dragons (which makes sense because Rob Fournier was the armorer on this film and that one, according to the credits).

Cobray M11/9 9mm

Smith & Wesson 5906

A Smith & Wesson 5906 is used by one of the Asian assassins on motorcycle, and appears again later in the film.

Smith & Wesson 5906 9mm

SIG-Sauer P226

A SIG-Sauer P226 with a stainless finish is carried by Mac and also by Chinese gang members. Trish later uses Mac's P226 to kill him after Han kicks it out of his hand.

SIG-Sauer P226 9x19mm stainless

Wildley Magnum

A Wildey Magnum auto pistol is loaded in a car by one of the Asian gangsters before they storm the club.

Wiley Magnum - .475 Magnum.

However, it seems to have a regular AR-style ambidextrous cocking handle mounted over the buffer tube (an OA-93 has a right hand-only charging handle mounted over the receiver), so it's more likely a mix of several guns, including a flat-top AR carbine with a custom-built carry handle and an OA-93 barrel.

-The flash hider has 4 prongs, can be seen from the muzzle in the XM177 pic below, it's called the Phantom.  And is factory standard for alot of OLYARMS guns.  Since the suit case gun came from olyarms and has the same white lettering on the lower reciever as this gun, it would be the K3B, not the Colt 933. --[[User:Zurak 47|Zurak 47]] 10:20, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

-:Good point, but remember that while the lower may be Olympic, the upper could still be something else. Though admittedly, if Phantom flash hiders are common on Olympic guns, it's a safe bet. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]
