True Lies

The following guns were used in the film True Lies:

True Lies (1994)

Glock 17

In the beginning of the film, Harry Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger) uses a Glock 17 2nd Generation pistol to shoot the guards pursuing him from the mansion. In the script the gun was classified as a Glock 21 .45 ACP but it was changed to a Glock 17 for the film, likely due to the larger magazine capacity. He was supposed to use the Glock 21 throughout the whole film but he instead uses a Ruger KP90.

Glock 17 - 9mm.

Tasker fires his Glock 17 at the pursuing guards.

Heckler & Koch HK91A3

Some of the men guarding the mansion at the beginning of the film are seen armed with Heckler & Koch HK91A3 rifles, as noted by their collapsing stocks.

Makarov PM

During the bathroom scene, one of the two terrorists who follow Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger) attempts to kill him with a sound suppressed Makarov PM, but thanks to the camera in the fake cigarette package on the bathroom sink, he is able to see the attack coming from his glasses, and avoids the shot, and he then disarms the terrorist using it.

Makarov PM - 9x18mm.

Steyr TMP

One of the Crimson Jihad terrorist that Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger) kills in the bathroom scene is armed with a Steyr TMP.

Steyr TMP - 9mm.

The terrorist is shot by Tasker before he can use his Steyr TMP.

Like most Hollywood bad guys, his last impulse is to empty the magazine before falling dead.

Ruger KP90

The Ruger KP90 is the standard issue sidearm of Tasker's (Arnold Schwarzenegger) association, being carried by him, Albert Gibson (Tom Arnold), and Faisil (Grant Heslov) in many scenes. Tasker notabley uses it when combating Salim Abu Aziz (Art Malik) in the bathroom and the proceeding chase through Cental Park and and the Marriot hotel.

Custom Shortened AKMS

Salim Abu Aziz (Art Malik) can often be seen using a Custom Shortened AKMS with two magazines taped together "jungle-style" as his primary weapon. It appears to have had the barrel professionally shortened to compact status, and clearly uses the hooded Norinco front sight, as well as other parts from both the Norinco Type 56 and the AKMS.

Custom Shortened AKMS - built from Norinco Type 56 and AKMS parts - 7.62x39mm. Unlike the gun in the film, the underfolding stock is still attached to this model.

Heckler & Koch HK94A3 (chopped & converted)

When Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and several other agents capture Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Simon (Bill Paxton) for interrogation, they are armed with Heckler & Koch HK94A3s chopped down and converted to full-auto fire to resemble Heckler & Koch MP5A3s. They are also seen in the hands of the SWAT team members escorting the news reporters to the terrorists in the skyscraper building.

Beretta 92FS - 9mm.

"I'm actually a total coward, if I ever saw a gun I'd -- oh God! Oh, please don't kill me!" Simon shows Tasker how legitimate of a spy he is.

Simon cowers and pisses himself at the sight of Tasker's gun.

Beretta 92SB-C

Juno Skinner's (Tia Carrere) sidearm of choice is a Beretta 92SB-C. She uses it to hold Helen Tasker (Jamie Lee Curtis) hostage in a limousine and they struggle for it, a stray shot fired during the brawl killing the driver and rendering the limousine out of control on the bridge in Florida.

Heckler & Koch P9S

One of the terrorists that captures Harry (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis) has a Heckler & Koch P9S. Harry also uses one of these guns later on in the film, taking it from a guard he kills with a crowbar.

Heckler & Koch P9S - 9mm.

A terrorist captures Tasker with a Heckler & Koch P9S.

Tasker wields a terrorist's Heckler & Koch P9S as he escapes the torture room with Helen.

Tasker draws the P9S after his AKM runs dry, but soon has it knocked away by the big terrorist in the muscle shirt entering the shot. This appears to be a rubber prop pistol based on the different style sights and the fact it is knocked to the ground in the next shot.

Cobray M11/9

Many terrorists in the film are seen wielding Cobray M11/9 pistols, converted to full auto and some fitted with wire stocks.

Cobray M11/9 - 9mm.

MAC-10

While fighting their way through the terrorist camp, Harry (Arnold Schwarzenegger) hands Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis) a captured MAC-10. In one of the film's more humorous scenes, Helen drops the weapon down a flight of stairs causing it to go off when it hits each step, the stray rounds scoring several kills.

MAC-10 as used by Jamie Lee Curtis in the film - 9mm. When the gun fell down the flight of stairs, wire was wrapped around the trigger to get the effect.

Harry hands Helen a MAC-10.

Helen nervously handles her MAC-10.

Helen tries to fire the MAC-10 at the terrorists but the muzzle climb is too great for her to handle and she accidentally drops the weapon.

The MAC-10 falls down the stairs, firing off rounds as it hits each step.

The MAC-10 runs dry and settles on the last step.

A terrorist is shot by Tasker and falls back firing his MAC-10.

Tasker unloads a pair of MAC-10s with a cool looking crossed-arms stance, which can't be tactically sound. This stance does, however, cut off the length the arms are spread out, making shooting more comfortable for the shooter.

Tasker fires off two MAC-10s with his arms cross-linked. This is good for keeping the guns side-by-side, but allows the shell casing to eject above the gun next to it and not bounce off of it.

Mk II hand grenade

At one point in the film, Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger) uses a Mk II hand grenade to kill several terrorists. For those wondering where this grenade came from, it was originally in the script that Juno put a grenade between Helen's legs, saying all she has to do is keep her legs closed, which Helen remarks is a problem Juno seems to have. When the two escape, he repinned it somehow for use again later. They cut this scene out of the film, causing this grenade's presence to be a continuity error. Another goof is that Tasker is shown being able to pull the pin on the grenade with his teeth, something that would be impossible in real life without suffering significant dental injury.

If you look closely, you can see the Mk II grenade between Helen's legs.

Tasker arms the grenade with his teeth.

Tasker spits out the pin and flips off the spoon primer handle before chucking the grenade.

M72A2 LAW

At the end of the firefight in the Crimson Jihad camp, Salim Abu Aziz (Art Malik) uses an M72A2 LAW to try to kill Harry Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger), although Harry is able to escape the blast by diving into the ocean.

M72A2 LAW - 66mm.

Aziz takes aim with the M72A2 LAW rocket launcher.

FIM-92A Stinger

During the highway scene when the Marine Corps Harriers are destroying the trucks the Crimson Jihad and the nukes are traveling in, one of the terrorists attempts to shoot down one of the Harriers with an FIM-92A Stinger, but luckily the pilot avoids the shot, the only casualty being another terrorist who is blown out the windshield of the truck by the backblast before being run over.

The terrorist fires the FIM-92A at the Harrier jets, and inadvertently kills another terrorist with the back blast. It should be noted in reality, the back blast would have killed every single person in the van, or at least severely wounded them.

M60 Machine Gun

Near the end of the film when Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger) goes to rescue his daughter Dana (Eliza Dushku) from the terrorists in a Marine Corps Harrier, some terrorists flying by in a helicoter fire a door mounted M60 machine gun modified to use a brass catcher at the aircraft, and shatter the front of the cockpit's windshield while Tasker is trying to grab his daughter as she hangs from a construction crane. The M60 machine gun had the foreend removed and the catch bag mount installed to use the brass catcher on the M60 but retained the standard buttstock and trigger group.

M60 machine gun - 7.62x51mm NATO.

A terrorist fires a door mounted M60 machine gun modified to use a brass catcher from a helicopter.

While never seen in use, a Desert Eagle of unknown model is seen in Harry Tasker's (Arnold Schwarzenegger) shoulder holster when he is being X-Rayed by his agency's security system.

IMI Desert Eagle Mark VII - .357 Magnum.

A Desert Eagle is seen in Tasker's shoulder holster throught the X-Ray scanner. This is strange since he is seen with a Ruger KP90 in his holster in all other scenes.

General Electric GAU-12/U

When Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger) takes off in a Marine Corps AV-8B Harrier II jet, he uses its General Electric GAU-12/U 25mm auto cannon to great effect when demolishing the 23rd floor of the sky scraper and in an attempt to shoot down the terrorist's helicopter, which he fails to do.
