Breaking News (original Chinese Title: (Daai si gin)) is a 2004 film about an attempt by Hong Kong Police to use the media to rebuild their reputation after an embarrassing defeat in a shootout is broadcast all over the news, however, their 'operation' goes horribly wrong. Though this film has been released all over the world, (as of now) it has never officially been released in the United States (though it has been released in Canada).
The following guns used in the movie Breaking News:
Warning: Minor spoilers ahead!
Taurus PT92
The Taurus PT92 is used by all of the members of Yuan's (Richie Ren) gang, as well as by assassin Chun (You Yong) and his partner. Inspector Cheung (Nick Cheung) later takes a PT92 from one of Yuan's men and uses it when the criminals attempt to escape the apartment building they are hiding in.
Colt Detective Special
The Colt Detective Special is the standard sidearm for all officers of the Criminal Investigative Branch (CIB) in the Hong Kong Police Force, including Inspector Cheung and his partner Hoi (Shiu Hung Hui). Superintendent Rebecca Fong (Kelly Chen) also uses a Detective Special when following Yuan after he escapes from the police cordon.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
Uniformed officers of the Hong Kong Police Force, including officers of the Police Tactical Unit (PTU) are armed with Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolvers.
Norinco Type 54/Model 213
Yuan uses a Norinco Type 54/ Model 213 pistol when hiding out in Yip's (Suet Lam) apartment.
Heckler & Koch MP5
MP5A2
The Heckler & Koch MP5A2 is used by Inspector Cheung and another member of his CIB team, as well as by officers of the PTU who initially attempt to raid the apartment that the criminals are hiding in. Due to a continuity error, Cheung's MP5A2 switches from having a Surefire forend during the single-take shootout at the beginning of the film to having none in later scenes.
MP5A3
Officers of the Special Duties Unit (SDU) that arrive to support the PTU units are mostly armed with Heckler & Koch MP5A3 with Surefire dedicated forends.
MP5SD3
A PTU officer can be briefly seen with a Heckler & Koch MP5SD3 while securing rescued hostages.
Kalashnikov variants
AK-47
AK-47 rifles, distinguished by its milled receiver and non-hooded sights, are used by of the criminals during the opening shootout with the police.
AKS-47
Once Yuan's gang flees to the apartment building, their arsenal includes a Kalashnikov with an underfolding stock, possibly either an AKS-47 or AKMS due to its non-hooded sights. When the criminals and the SDU engage in a firefight, the rifle's stock changes from an underfolding one to a Galil-style sidefolding stock.
