Vantage Point
Vantage Point is a 2008 action thriller focusing on an assassination attempt on the President of the United States as told from eight unique points of view.
The following guns were used in the movie Vantage Point:
WARNING: POSSIBLE SPOILERS!
SIG-Sauer P229
The majority of the Secret Service Agents in the film including Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) carry the SIG-Sauer P229 as their standard sidearms. Though the Secret Service chambers their SIG Sauer P229s for the .357 SIG round, the P229s used in the movie are chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum. There is also a continuity error when Dennis Quaid is seen firing over twenty rounds before reloading. The gun only holds 13 rounds; 12 in the magazine, and 1 in the chamber.
Beretta 92FS
The majority of the terrorists and covert operatives in the film carry the Beretta 92FS. Those who use it include Javier (Edgar Ramirez) during the police car scene; the Spanish policeman; female terrorist Veronica (Ayelet Zurer) and the terrorist head Suarez (Saïd Taghmaoui). Continuity errors with these pistols occur in several scenes when the gun is "fired" and then immediately shown with the hammer forward. While the USSS agents usually carry SIG P229's, Agent Kent Taylor (Matthew Fox) is seen only using the Beretta.
Glock 17
A Glock 17 is used by the former special forces soldier Javier (Edgar Ramirez) who kidnaps the real President. The one shown in the film features a stainless steel slide and a suppressor.
Glock 30
Suarez uses a Beretta 92FS throughout the film, but when Agent Barnes (Dennis Quaid) rescues President Ashton (William Hurt), Suarez pulls a Glock 30 for a brief moment. After Barnes shoots him, It is a Beretta 92FS again.
Heckler & Koch MP5A2
The H&K MP5A2 is seen throughout the film in the hands of Spanish police officers, some seen with two magazines clamped together.
Heckler & Koch PSG-1
A Heckler & Koch PSG-1, mounted on an automated platform, is used by the terrorists to conduct the initial attack on the President. The PSG-1's distinctive wooden grip is featured during the scene when agent Taylor disassembles it.
Remington 700PSS
The Remington 700PSS rifle appears in the hands of Secret Service snipers in the film, fitted with folding bipods. A few rifles actually may be M40's, but most of the close-up shots use R700's.
