Submachine Guns & Machine Pistols

Brügger & Thomet TP-9

All of the hitmen employed by IBBC wield Brügger & Thomet TP-9 machine pistols during the shootout in the Guggenheim museum in New York. The first gunman is seen with a suppressed version. The TP-9 is a semi-automatic civilian version of the full-auto Brügger & Thomet MP-9 machine pistol. The guns used in the film have been converted to automatic fire, altough some of the hitmen use their guns in semi-automatic fashion. Louis Salinger (Clive Owen) also picks up a couple of the TP-9s during the shootout, and somewhat realistically, has to reload twice. There is a scene in the film, where Salinger picks up one of the machine pistols and fires it semi-automatically, but then supposedly turns the gun to full-auto fire.

The Milan Sniper (Giorgio Lupano) is also seen with a Sauer 200/202 during the actual assassination of Umberto Calvini. The Consultant also uses a Sauer 200/202 as the second assassin during the Umberto Calvini hit. The rifle is explicitly referred to as a "Sauer 200" by Salinger when he examines the angle from which the bullets were fired.
