The following weapons were used in the film Cliffhanger:

WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!

Handguns

Beretta 92FS

The Beretta 92FS is first seen wielded by an US Treasury Agent (Bruce McGill) to subdue FBI Agent Matheson. A second suppressed Beretta 92FS is seen used by the pilot of the Treasury plane. Several henchmen are also seen wielding the Beretta 92FS including Kristel (Caroline Goodall) and Delmar (Craig Fairbrass). Later Travers is seen wielding one instead of his Taurus PT99.

Desert Eagle Mark I

Eric Qualen (John Lithgow) is seen with a Desert Eagle Mark I throughout the film.

IMI Desert Eagle Mark I - .357 Magnum

Hal with Qualen's Desert Eagle jammed into his cheek.

From the pilot's seat of the helicopter, Qualen (John Lithgow) aims his Desert Eagle at Jessie (Janine Turner). Pretty impressive, given how two hands are needed at all times to pilot a chopper.

Smith & Wesson Model 19

Frank (Ralph Waite) uses the Smith & Wesson Model 19 to scare away the wolves that are attacking the base jumper. Later Frank gets his side arm taken from him by being tricked by Kristel, who uses it against him.

Smith & Wesson Model 19 Combat Magnum - .357 magnum

Frank (Ralph Waite) fires his Smith & Wesson Model 19 into the air.

Kristel (Caroline Goodall) relieves Frank of his pistol and aims it at him.

Older-model Taurus PT99 - 9x19mm

US Treasury Agent Richard Travers (Rex Linn) fires a Taurus PT99 at his fellow agents.

Unknown Pistol

This small unknown pistol is seen being drawn by FBI Agent Matheson (Vyto Ruginis) as the Treasury Agents are betrayed. Although unusual for a government agent, it appears to have the appearance of a Walther PP.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch HK94

Chopped and converted Heckler & Koch HK94A2s, standing in for real Heckler & Koch MP5s, are seen wielded by both Delmar (Craig Fairbrass) and Ryan (Gregory Scott Cummins) throughout the film. Delmar's HK94 is configured as an MP5A2 and fitted with a scope on an H&K factory claw mount, as well as a Surefire 628 forearm equipped with a Surefire L72 combination light/laser. This weapon is also handled in the film by Travers (Rex Linn) in his final confrontation with Gabe. Ryan's HK94 is configured as an MP5SD2 and fitted with a mock SD barrel shroud, a scope on H&K mount, and a flashlight.

Chopped and converted Heckler & Koch HK94A2 - 9x19mm

Ryan (Gregory Scott Cummins) flails around with his HK94A2 (mocked up as an MP5SD2) after being blinded by Gabe. As you can see, there is no paddle mag release.

Delmar (Craig Fairbrass) holds his gun. There are no barrel lugs.

Travers (Rex Linn) aims his gun.

MAC-11

Kynette (Leon Robinson) carries a MAC-11 without folding stock (to fit in his shoulder holster) throughout the film, eventually losing it while fighting with Gabe Walker. This weapon is also seen in the hands of Jessie Deighan (Janine Turner).

RPB Industries M11A1 - .380 ACP

This weapon is also seen in the hands of Jessie Deighan (Janine Turner).

Mini Uzi

FBI Special Agent Matheson (Vyto Ruginis), who tags along for the ride, realizes what is happening and draws a Mini Uzi to try and stop the robbery. Later Agent Matheson uses the Mini Uzi to cripple the second plane.

Mini Uzi SMG with stock folded - 9x19mm

FBI Special Agent Matheson (Vyto Ruginis) pulls a Mini Uzi to try and stop the robbery.

The Treasury agent on the right pokes the forestock of a Mini Uzi into Agent Matheson's neck.

Rifles

Steyr-Mannlicher SSG-PI Rifle

Ray (Kevin Donald) is armed with a Steyr-Mannlicher SSG 69 PI Rifle while trying to return fire on FBI Agent Matheson as he rains fire from the Treasury plane.

Steyr SSG 69 PI Rifle - 7.62x51mm NATO

Shotguns

Smith & Wesson 3000

Delmar (Craig Fairbrass) carries a Smith & Wesson 3000 Shotgun as his primary firearms in the film. Hal Tucker (Michael Rooker) later stabs Delmar in the leg with a Spyderco knife, enabling him to grab the Smith & Wesson 3000 Shotgun slung on Delmar's back. Tucker then uses the shotgun from that point on throughout the film.

The Model 3000 is on the back of a treasure guard.

Other

DefTech 37mm launcher with underslung MAC 10

Heldon (Denis Forest), one of the henchmen, can be seen wielding a DefTech 6-shot rotary launcher with an underslung MAC-10 submachine gun, underneath the barrel. He uses it until he falls to his death. This is the same weapon used in RoboCop 3.

Piton Gun

Gabe Walker (Sylvester Stallone) uses a fictional piton gun that fires climbing pitons into rock faces to anchor his ropes throughout the film (a technique that is completely ridiculous on many levels). While submerged in a frozen pool, he also uses the piton gun to kills Agent Travers (Rex Linn), somehow firing 3 successive shots from the single-shot device. It is worth noting that this rather obvious goof was actually created by the editor - originally Gabe was only supposed to shoot Travers once with the piton gun, before Hal (Michael Rooker) arrived to finish him off with the Smith & Wesson 3000 Shotgun, but this was later edited to show Gabe scoring the kill by himself.
