Revision as of 01:10, 7 January 2009
The following guns were used in the film End of Days:
Glock 34
Jericho Cane (Arnold Schwarzenegger) carries a Glock 34 as his sidearm throughout most of the film. Since this movie was filmed in 1998 and released in 1999, the Glock 34 was a brand new handgun at the time and is what is considered a "Hero Gun", a gun released exclusively for a film to advertise it. When the priests in the church try to explain to Jericho about the Devil and God, he remarks, "Between your faith and my Glock 9mm, I take my Glock." Another Glock aficionado movie.
Glock 26
Jericho Cane (Arnold Schwarzenegger) keeps a pair of Glock 26 subcompact 9mm pistols hidden in his sleeves on unseen clips, ready to whip out in a seconds notice. It would appear Jericho has a liking for Glock pistols (or the filmakers made a deal with the Glock company to advertise the guns in the film).
Glock 17
After Jericho (Arnold Schwarzenegger) has his Glock 34 taken away by Satan (Gabriel Byrne), he goes to the police station and grabs a Glock 17 3rd Generation to use as his sidearm for the rest of the film. When fleeing Satan on the subway, Christine York (Robin Tunney) asks if she can help and Jericho quickly teachs her how to use the Glock and gives it to her. Since the Glock 3rd Generation was brand new at the time as well, this is another "Hero Gun". Starting to see a pattern with the 9mm Glocks here?
Glock 19
The officer seen standing next to Detective Margie Francis (CCH Pounder) is often seen armed with a Glock 19 compact 9mm. Det. Francis herself is seen using this gun to point at Jericho during Satan's ceromony before Jericho kills her. By now, the film has pretty much advertised every 9mm Glock in the series.
Heckler & Koch P7M13
Jericho's partner Bobby Chicago (Kevin Pollak) uses a double stack stainless Heckler & Koch P7M13 as his sidearm in the film.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Before going to face Satan (Gabriel Byrne), Jericho goes to the police station and grabs a Heckler & Koch MP5A3 fitted with a custom muzzle break and an M203 grenade launcher. The muzzle break is presumabley added so the muzzle flash doesn't burn the M203 launcher underneath. This is a custom built weapon since the M203 was never built to be underslung on the MP5, and obviously has little tactical value on a close quarters submachine gun when the rounds have to reach a certain distance before they detonate.
M203 grenade launcher
Fitted under Jericho's Heckler & Koch MP5A3 is an M203 grenade launcher. Before leaving the station, Jericho is seen grabbing three fiction "40mm" rounds, two of which are yellow and one of which is red. Based on how they are seen used in the film, the yellow rounds explode on impact while the red round has a delayed impact.
