The following guns were used in the film Speed:
M1911A1
LAPD SWAT members including Jack Traven (Keanu Reeves) and Harry Temple (Jeff Daniels) keep M1911A1 pistols as their sidearms in the film. Since LAPD SWAT wanted something less limiting then revolvers after the North Hollywood shootout, they chose M1911A1 pistols. These 1911 models varied differently for each user, many of which where handguns originally confiscated from criminals and tricked out by the department "gun cage jockey" who would turn the guns into tactical weapons. These were also the first guns to be fitted with frame mounted flashlights. After deciding to have the department issue these guns so the officers wouldn't have to buy them, they tested several models until they decided upon the Kimber Custom II as their sidearms. Since this film is before the issue of these guns, the 1911s can be any type of model.
Springfield Armory Mil-spec M1911A1 - .45 ACP. This was one of the most commonly seen .45s used by LAPD SWAT before the Kimber Custom II.

When discussing a scenerio in which a terrorist holds a hostage at gunpoint at 100 yards, Jack saids to wound the hostage to slow down the terrorist. Unfortunately for Harry, he shows he truly believes in this method and shoots Harry in the leg (missing his Femoral Artery by millimeters!). Harry curses him for this and he shrugs a "what did you expect" shrug.
Jack points his M1911A1 at Payne, who is now without a hostage.

Heckler & Koch HK94A3 (chopped and converted)
Jack and Harry are seen using Heckler & Koch HK94A3 collapsing stock civilian guns with 16" barrels chopped and converted to resemble MP5A3s with Surefire light dedicated forends. They can be noted as HK94s instead of MP5A3s because of the lack of barrel lugs, a push-pin set and a paddle magazine release behind the magazine.
