The following weapons were used in the film The Boondock Saints:

Pistols

Beretta 92FS

Connor (Sean Patrick Flanery) and Murphy (Norman Reedus) McManus use pairs of suppressed Beretta 92FS pistols when dispatching various criminals in the film. They also give Rocco (David Della Rocco) a pair of 92FS' when they recruit him to their team.

Beretta 92FS - 9x19mm

Connor (Sean Patrick Flanery) takes a pair of suppressed Beretta 92FS pistols from of a rack in the weapons dealer's armory.

Connor and Murphy fall through the air ducts and hang upside down. They then manage to accurately dispatch eight of the men in the room with their Beretta 92FS'.

"And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be."

"In nomine Patri, et Fili, Spiritus Sancti." (In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.)

Murphy drunkenly re-enacts how they hung from the vents.

Roc slams his hands down on the table which somehow causes one of the Berettas to go off and kill his girlfriend's cat.

The brothers kill a man in the private booth with a barrage from their 92FSs.

The brothers give their 92FSs to Roc who uses them to kill the other two criminals in private booths.

"Wyatt Fuckin' Earp!"

Taurus PT92

Due to a continuity error, the MacManus brothers' Beretta 92FS pistols become Brazilian-made Taurus PT92AFs in several scenes. They are distinguished by their frame mounted slide stop safety instead of the slide mounted decocking safety found on the Beretta 92FS.

Taurus PT92AF - 9x19mm

Connor holding his suppressed PT92AF on Rocco, which switches back and forth from a Beretta 92FS.

Rocco is seen using two PT92AFs as he kills the men during the poker game. In this scene, Agent Smecker sums up the scene to his colleagues, but is not actually there, this is just a story telling technique.

Rocco drops to his knees and kills the thugs under the pool table.

Rocco shoots the assassin in the gut with a PT92AF, which isn't actually loaded with blanks, as the weapon does not cycle.

Connor draws his Taurus PT92AF when facing Il Duce (again, it switches back and forth with a Beretta 92FS).

The assassin (Markus Parilo) also uses a pair of stainless sound suppressed PT92AFS' to kill the family in the flashback as Rocco explains why they should kill him. Il Duce (Billy Connolly) also uses a PT92AFS when facing off with the brothers and Rocco outside the house.

Glock 26

While summing up the shootout in front of the house, Agent Paul Smecker (Willem Dafoe) fires his Glock 26 pistol into the air, which is something a real FBI Agent would never do. Although, admittedly, Smecker isn't what someone would call "all there". Plus this might just be in his head, rather than actually taking place. (This seems likely since none of the cops look nearly startled enough to have witnessed an FBI agent firing his gun into the air in the middle of a suburb.) If you listen closely you can hear in the background an unintentional discharge called in over a police radio.

Smecker fires his Glock 26 into the air.

IMI Desert Eagle Mark VII

Ivan Checkov (Scott Griffith) carries a custom Desert Eagle Mark VII. The weapon appears to be built up from both Chrome and Blued finish models, with some features gold plated, and a gold hammer and sickle inscribed below the bore, with a red Soviet star on top of the slide. Agent Paul Smecker (Willem Dafoe) refers to the bullets found at the scene as being ".50 caliber", yet both guns used are actually .44 Magnum.

A custom Magnum Research Desert Eagle Mark VII built by Movie Armaments Group (MAG) for The Boondock Saints. The weapon pictured here is the actual screen-used weapon from the film; this image can be found on MAG's Instagram account. Note the "Desert Eagle .44" stamp on the slide, as well as the Soviet star on top of the slide.

Another view of the screen-used Desert Eagle Mark VII from the film; note the gold hammer and sickle on the front of the barrel, as well as the ".44" stamp, contrary to the movie dialogue which indicates that the gun is a .50-caliber.

Ivan holds his Mark VII Desert Eagle on Connor, his with a chrome slide, a blued barrel and frame, and a gold plated safety. Note the red star on the slide.

Here, the bore appears to be a .44 and under the barrel is a gold plated symbol of the Communist Party, the hammer and sickle.

"I hope your conscience is clear, Irishman!" Ivan holds his Desert Eagle on Murphy before Connor drops a toilet on him from the roof.

Murphy staring down the barrel of the Desert Eagle.

When Agent Smecker investigates the crime scene afterward, he finds a bullet in the dumpster, yet here you can see he misses the dumpster by a lot.

The brothers trade the two Desert Eagles to the weapons dealer so they can take guns.

IMI Desert Eagle Mark XIX

The other of the two Russian mobsters carries a Desert Eagle Mark XIX which, like his partner Ivan Checkov's (Scott Griffith's) gun, is a two-tone model. Unlike Checkov's gun, however, his Desert Eagle lacks either gold-plated controls or the hammer and sickle markings on the slide/barrel.

IMI Desert Eagle Mark XIX - .50 AE Black

Here we can see the .44 stamp on the other Russian's Desert Eagle Mark XIX. His has a chrome barrel and a blued slide and frame.

Connor jumps on Ivan's partner and causes him to fire his Desert Eagle which leaves a second slug in the alley wall.

Ivan's partner tries to reach for his Desert Eagle before Murphy beats him to death.

The brothers trade the two Desert Eagles to the weapons dealer so they can take guns.

Para-Ordnance P-14

Il Duce (Billy Connolly) wields a Para-Ordnance P-14 as one of his six guns during the shootout outside the house.

Para Ordnance P-14 - .45 ACP

I1 Duce armed with an Taurus PT92AFS, Para Ordnance P-14, Smith & Wesson Model 629, Smith & Wesson Model 686, Smith & Wesson 5906, and a Para Ordnance P-10.

Il Duce draws the Taurus PT92 and the Para-Ordnance P-14. Interestingly enough, he does not keep the P-14 in "Condition One" while holstered, which would greatly slow his readiness to fire the weapon. (Also note that the entire firefight supposedly took place in seconds, so having the hammer down would have slowed his draw significantly.)

Para-Ordnance P-10

Il Duce (Billy Connolly) uses a Para-Ordnance P-10 as one of his six guns during the shootout outside the house.

Para-Ordnance P-10 - .45 ACP

I1 Duce armed with an Taurus PT92AFS, Para Ordnance P-14, Smith & Wesson Model 629, Smith & Wesson Model 686, Smith & Wesson 5906, and a Para ordnance P-10.

Beretta 92FS Inox

A Beretta 92FS Inox with a custom muzzle brake is seen on a wall in the dealer's armory. The Beretta in this scene was originally customized for the TV series Once A Thief, where it was carried by Nicholas Lea as his sidearm.

Walther P5 Compact

Agent Paul Smecker (Willem Dafoe) uses a Walther P5 Compact fitted with a suppressor while dressed in drag to kill men in Papa Joe Yakavetta's (Carlo Rota) house in an attempt to save the brothers. It features gold plated parts and is the same gun used by Claire Danes used in Romeo + Juliet (albeit minus the ivory grips from that film); it was also used in the same configuration in the final episode of the TV series Once A Thief.

Walther P5 Compact - 9x19mm

Smecker pulls the Walther P5 Compact from his purse to kill the man in the bathroom.

Note the gold plated parts.

Custom M1911A1

Papa Joe Yakavetta's (Carlo Rota) henchmen are seen with Custom M1911A1 pistols in their shoulder holsters. Both of the brothers are seen drawing them on Il Duce when he confronts them in the house. Before the confrontation at Yakavetta's house, one of these same 1911s is also seen briefly in the hands of one of the Russian thugs who is killed during the brothers' first mission at the hotel.

Nickel-plated Rock Island Armory M1911A1 with pearl grips - .45 ACP

A custom M1911A1 with gold plated parts and a compensator is seen in the dealer's armory (not the same gun as mentioned above, but still a custom 1911).

One of the thugs tries to produce his M1911A1 before being gunned down.

Glock 17

Several Glock 17s are seen in the dealer's armory and several thugs use them in the film. They are also the sidearms of the Boston City Police Department.

Glock 17 (2nd Generation) - 9x19mm

A whole row of Glocks (and one singled out above) are seen on a wall in the armory.

Revolvers

Colt Python

Rocco (David Della Rocco) carries a snub nosed Colt Python with a stainless finish and most notably uses it to kill the three men in the diner. Some people are inclined to believe Rocco uses a Colt Diamondback instead of a Python because Det. Greenley (Bob Marley) claims they recovered .38 slugs at the crime scene. One should note that a .357 Magnum and a .38 Special round are dimensionally exact in diameter (but not length), so the bullet head would be .357 regardless of which round was used.

Nickel plated Colt Python with 2.5 inch barrel - .357 Magnum

Connor and Murphy mess with Rocco by making him think they are going to kill him. They then pull out his Colt Python snub.

(Connor):"Jeez, it's a fuckin' six-shooter!" (Murphy):"There's nine bodies, genius." (Connor):"What the fuck were you gonna do, laugh the last three to death, FUNNY MAN?!"

Rocco tells his girlfriend he will kill himself right there and then if she can even recall the name of her recently deceased cat. Or even its color.

"Shut your fat ass, Rayvie! I can't buy a pack of smokes without running into nine guys you fucked!"

Rocco kills a mobster in the diner by firing his Colt Python through his jacket.

Rocco shoots the other mobster and we see the full effect of a .357 round. If you look close, you see he fires the gun early as he swings it at him, likely done to fire blanks safely at close range.

"FUNNY, FUNNY, FUNNY!" Rocco kills the diner clerk for not telling him he was set up.

Rocco holds his Colt Python on the priest in the confession booth as he listens to the confessions of Agent Smecker.

Papa Joe Yakavetta (Carlo Rota) also uses a Colt Python, his with a blued finish, a 6" barrel, and rubber grips, later in the film. Some people claim it is a Colt Anaconda due to its seemingly large size, yet the Anaconda was never released in a blue finish, only stainless steel.

Smith & Wesson Model 629 Snub

Il Duce (Billy Connolly) wields a Smith & Wesson Model 629 Snub as one of his six guns during the shootout outside the house. While originally thought to be a Model 66 revolver, the muzzle diameter of the gun is clearly larger than the 686 Snub in his right hand, ruling out the gun being a .357 Magnum.

Smith & Wesson Model 629 Snub - .44 Magnum

I1 Duce armed with an Taurus PT92AFS, Para Ordnance P-14, Smith & Wesson Model 629, Smith & Wesson Model 686, Smith & Wesson 5906, and a Para Ordnance P-10.

Det. Greenly (Bob Marley) has what appears to be a Smith & Wesson Model 19 Snub Nose with aftermarket grips in his shoulder holster, which isn't seen clearly in the widescreen version of the film, so a full screen shot is used.
