Diplomatic Siege
|
Diplomatic Siege (also known as Enemy of My Enemy) is a 1999 American action-thriller film filmed in Romania. At the United States embassy in Bucharest, Romania, Steve Mitchell (Peter Weller) and Erica Long (Daryl Hannah) are pressed to disarm a nuclear bomb left over from the Cold War that's in countdown mode. Serbian terrorists take over the embassy and threaten to kill one hostage every hour if the US does not release their colonel being held for trial at the Hague for war crimes. Meanwhile, at the Hague, a disgruntled Croatian guard kills the Serbian colonel for massacring his family, so the US has to find an impersonator to fool the terrorists in negotiations. With the clock ticking, Gen. Buck Swain (Tom Berenger) arrives in Bucharest with a U.S. counter-terrorism squad to retake the embassy.
The following weapons were used in the film Diplomatic Siege:
Handguns
M1911A1
CIA agents and some terrorists in the film use M1911A1 pistols.
SIG-Sauer P228
A bodyguard is armed with what appears to be a SIG-Sauer P228, judging by its trigger guard. It could also be an early model P229, which was introduced a few years before this film was made. However, the pistol is obviously an airsoft replica, because real SIG P228/P229s are compact designs with short slides and barrels that fit flush with the muzzle. This pistol was previously misidentified as the similar-looking Zastava CZ99, but the distinctive SIG hammer and thick trigger make this impossible.
Beretta 92F
Terrorist Dushan (Mihai Baranga) holds a Beretta 92F.
Jennings J-22
Secret Agent Erica Long (Daryl Hannah) carries a Jennings J-22.
Smith & Wesson Model 629
Goran Mladnov (Adrian Pintea) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 629.
Unidentified Revolver
Submachine guns
MP 40
Members of the U.S. Special Forces in the film are seen using MP 40 submachine guns. Since the film was produced in Bosnia-Herzegovina, the SMG was most likely the closest to a Western-looking firearm that the armorers could find that actually could be fired (the M16s seen earlier were replicas).
Arsenal Shipka
Steve Mitchell (Peter Weller) is also seen firing a Bulgarian Arsenal Shipka.
Rifles
PM md. 65
Several characters in movie use early model PM md. 65 assault rifles with underfolding stocks and convex forward grips.
PM md. 80
Some members of the Romanian police special unit carry PM md. 80 carbines with 20 round magazines.
M16 (MGC Replica)
Some of the U.S. Special Forces commanded by General Buck Swain (Tom Berenger) are armed with what appear to be M16 rifles. Closer inspection reveals these rifles to be MGC replicas.
Karabiner 98k
Serbian terrorist Dushan (Mihai Baranga) takes aim with what appears to be a scoped Karabiner 98k.
Shotgun
Mossberg 590 Cruiser
Steve Mitchell (Peter Weller) also uses a Mossberg 590 Cruiser.
Other
F1 hand grenade
Serbian terrorists use the F1 hand grenade.
SPG-9 Recoilless Rifle
A SPG-9 recoilless rifle is mounted on an Automecanica Moreni PM 7 armored vehicle used by the Romanian police.
RPG-7
Serbian terrorist Petra (Irina Movila) fires an RPG-7 at the gates of the U.S. embassy.
AG-40
Some members of the Romanian police special unit have AG-40 grenade launchers fitted to their PM md. 65 rifles.
