The Killer

The Killer - 1989

Beretta 92F

The Beretta 92F is frequently seen in the hands of Jeffrey as in many John Woo films. However, according to one of the movie's armorers, they only had access to one Beretta 92F for most of the shoot, so the Brazilian Taurus PT92 was used in many scenes as a substitute.

Beretta 92FS - 9mm.

Taurus PT92

A number of Taurus PT92s are used by Jeffrey and Sidney, including one stainless with wood grips. They are also used by many Triads.

There's a much clearer, better shot of the gun when the trigger is pulled and it clicks empty. -MT2008

I'll see if I can find it.

Walther PPK

The Walther PPK is used by Jeffrey in his apartment as a backup alongside his Beretta, previously held in his left sleeve. The Walther PPK used in this scene was actually an 8mm German-made blank replica, because the armorers were unable to acquire a real PPK when the scene was filmed. Aside from a replica Desert Eagle seen in the weapons case and some model gun M16s visible in Sidney's armory, this is the only gun in the film that is fake.

CZ-75

Browning BDA9

A Browning BDA is used by several Triad members in the nightclub shootout. Shortly after, it is used once again by Triads, Wong Tong (Wong Kwong-Leung), and Li Ying (Danny Lee) at the gun deal scene and the bus chase. The FN HP-DA continues to be used by Triad members throughout the movie. Near the end, Fung Sei (Chu Kong) briefly commandeers one in his attempt to retrieve Ah Jong's (Chow Yun-Fat) money from Wong Hoi (Shing Fui-On).

(Fake) SVD Dragunov

The rifle used by Jeffrey (Chow Yun-Fat) to carry out his assassination plot is a Chinese Norinco Type 56 assault rifle (AKM) that was visually modified to look like a SVD Dragunov. The armorers were unable to acquire a real SVD for the filming of the scene, so they were forced to use the Type 56 rifle instead. The rifle that Jeffrey drops into the sea was a Japanese airsoft AK-47 that was also modified to look like an SVD.

A real SVD Dragunov sniper rifle for comparison. Note the scope and mount, receiver dust cover, receiver side, magazine type, gas tube, rear stock. All are different than the rifle that Chow Yun-Fat uses. He is using a fake SVD mocked up from a Chinese AK.
