The following weapons are used in the movie Face/Off:

Face/Off (1997)

Beretta 92FS

Prison guards on the oil drill platform keep Beretta 92FS pistols as their sidearm. When Sean Archer/Castor Troy (Nicolas Cage) escapes from the electroshock room, he takes a guards Beretta and uses it to fire on the guards, carefully placing his shots as not to kill them. During the final firefight Archer/Troy uses a pair of Berettas, wielding them akimbo as per the standard norm of John Woo films. Jamie (Dominique Swain) picks one of these up as Archer/Troy and Troy/Archer (John Travolta) struggle in the church's courtyard, only to be misled into shooting her father in the arm. Troy/Archer then picks the Beretta up and holds it on Jamie before she digs a stilleto knife into his leg, which he ironically gave her as a gift to protect herself.

During the shootout in the funeral home, many of the guns are shown in close ups, except they are at different locations than the scene takes place. This is because they are real guns (not blank adapted guns) firing real bullets in front of a highspeed camera, to capture the bullet in flight.
Archer/Troy fires a pair of Berettas at Troy/Archer.

Jamie aims the Beretta at Archer/Troy and Troy/Archer, unsure of who's who. Note the typical amatuer grip, with the thumb layered on top of the other (which is a good way to get slide bit), and both fingers wrapped around the trigger.
Troy/Archer holds the Beretta on Jamie after she makes the wrong choice and shoots her father in the arm.

Beretta 92FS Inox

A Beretta 92FS Inox is wielded by one of the police officers during the shootout at the airport. Castor Troy/Sean Archer (John Travolta) tries to draw one to use on Sean Archer/Castor Troy (Nicolas Cage) while on the speed boat, but Archer/Troy kicks it away before he can use it.

Custom Springfield 1911s

Castor Troy's (Nicolas Cage) favorite weapons are two gold plated Springfield Armory M1911A1s fitted with custom grips. He uses these akimbo during the first major gunfight of the movie, putting a hole in the windshield of Sean Archer's (John Travolta) chopper and later gunning down several agents. Later in the movie, when Archer has assumed Troy's identity and face, he is given these weapons by Dietrich (Nick Cassavettes). He then uses one or both of them in the following raid/gunfight.

I don't think that the pistols are gold plated, too flat. I believe that it is a titanium gold finish.

SIG-Sauer P226

Sean Archer (John Travolta) uses a SIG-Sauer P226 with a stainless steel slide during the movie's first gunfight. When he and Castor Troy (Nicolas Cage) switch faces and identities, Troy/Archer begins using the weapon, killing Dietrich (Nick Cassevettes) and another FBI agent with it before he loses it during the church's Mexican Standoff.

Stechkin APS

A Stechkin APS machine pistol is used briefly by Castor Troy/Sean Archer (John Travolta) during the church shootout, in the courtyard. At the conclusion of the fight, Sean Archer/Castor Troy (Nicolas Cage) picks the gun up and fires a long burst at Troy/Archer after he unsuccessfully tries to kill his daughter.

Smith & Wesson 5906

During the final firefight stand off Castor Troy's girlfriend, Sasha Hassler (Gina Gershon) is armed with a Smith & Wesson 5906.

The thing is way too short to be a 59 series, so it's probably a 69 series. "Correct Sir that is a Smith and Wesson 6906 with a 12 +1 round capacity not a 5906.

Walther PPK

On the plane the undercover FBI Agent pulls a Walther PPK on Castor Troy.

Colt 9mm Submachine Gun

Unknown Revolver

During the first major gunfight in the movie. Sean Archer briefly uses a backup revolver with his Sig P226 akimbo-style. Possibly a .38 special.

Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine gun

The Heckler & Koch MP5 series of submachine guns were extensively used by FBI on numerous occasions. During the FBI's assault on Dietrich's apartment, the assault team were armed with the MP5A2, the MP5A3 and the MP5SD3 series submachine guns.
