'''''White House Down''''' is a 2013 action film directed by [[Roland Emmerich]] and stars [[Channing Tatum]] as John Cale, a Capitol Police Officer and failed Secret Service applicant who finds himself trapped after heavily armed mercenaries seize the White House.  He then proceeds to find President James Sawyer ([[Jamie Foxx]]) and the two try to find a way to thwart the terrorists.  The film was released in the U.S. on June 28, 2013, only a few months following the release of the similarly-themed ''[[Olympus Has Fallen]]''.

==Beretta 92FS==
Special Agent Martin Walker ([[James Woods]]) uses a [[Beretta 92FS]] as his main weapon throughout the film, despite the official sidearm of the Secret Service being the SIG-Sauer P229. A few of the Secret Service Uniformed Division officers are also armed with Berettas, which the mercenaries use to seize control of the White House.
Special Agent Martin Walker ([[James Woods]]) uses a [[Beretta 92FS]] as his main weapon throughout the film, despite the official sidearm of the Secret Service being the SIG-Sauer P229. The use of the pistol by Agent Walker is probably a nod to his son's service in the Marines Corps, being that the Beretta M9 is the pistol issued to the Marines. He does also keep the pistol near a photo of his deceased son which would also suggest that the use of the pistol is in his honor. A few of the Secret Service Uniformed Division officers are also armed with Berettas, which the mercenaries use to seize control of the White House.

In reality, given its horrid accuracy, an RPG-7 with a PG-7VM rocket will do next to nothing to an M1 Abrams main battle tank, especially from the front. Exactly why they didn't use one of the dozen or so Javelin ATGMs they had just carried up, which would easily destroy an Abrams from any angle, is a mystery.

==Custom RPG-7 (mockup)==
President James Sawyer ([[Jamie Foxx]]) uses an RPG-7D paratrooper model made to look like the [[RPG-7#Airtronic RPG-7|Airtronic RPG-7]] in the film. It is done so by the addition of the [[M16 rifle series#M4/M4A1 Carbine|M4]]-style stock and RIS rails. The type used is distinguishable from the standard RPG-7 by its takedown feature and the safety latch extension that is visible under the launch tube to prevent the sear from functioning when the launcher is in two pieces. Two separate rocket types can be seen being used with this weapon; the PG-7VM and the larger PG-7VL.

Two separate rocket types can be seen being used with this weapon; the PG-7VM and the larger PG-7VL, but this launcher is fitted with a chromed warhead. The chrome is most likely for pure design and and to attract the audience, as chromed warheads have no beneficial value and too costly to be standard issue.

White House Down is a 2013 action film directed by Roland Emmerich and stars Channing Tatum as John Cale, a Capitol Police Officer and failed Secret Service applicant who finds himself trapped after heavily armed mercenaries seize the White House. He then proceeds to find President James Sawyer (Jamie Foxx) and the two try to find a way to thwart the terrorists. The film was released in the US on June 28, 2013, a mere three months following the release of the similarly-themed Olympus Has Fallen.


The following weapons were used in the film White House Down:


Error creating thumbnail: File missing WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!


Handguns

Glock 19

John Cale (Channing Tatum) uses a Glock 19 pistol as his sidearm while serving as the bodyguard of Speaker of the House Eli Raphaelson (Richard Jenkins).

Beretta 92FS

Special Agent Martin Walker (James Woods) uses a Beretta 92FS as his main weapon throughout the film, despite the official sidearm of the Secret Service being the SIG-Sauer P229. The use of the pistol by Agent Walker is probably a nod to his son's service in the Marines Corps, being that the Beretta M9 is the pistol issued to the Marines. He does also keep the pistol near a photo of his deceased son which would also suggest that the use of the pistol is in his honor. A few of the Secret Service Uniformed Division officers are also armed with Berettas, which the mercenaries use to seize control of the White House.

Springfield Armory XD-45 Tactical

Cale uses a Springfield Armory XD-45 Tactical with an olive drab green frame taken from Vadim (Anatoly Zinoviev) for much of the movie. He later gives it to President James Sawyer (Jamie Foxx) to protect himself while they flee through the White House catacombs.

SIG-Sauer P250 Compact

The SIG-Sauer P250 Compact with a threaded barrel appears to be the weapon used by Emil Stenz (Jason Clarke) as well as the mercenaries during the initial takeover of the White House. Secret Service agents are also seen armed with the pistol, in spite the P250 Compact is not used by the agency. John Cale (Channing Tatum) is seen armed with one from a fallen USSS agent until he is able to acquire a Brügger & Thomet APC9 sub-machine gun.

Submachine Guns

Brügger & Thomet APC9

The Brügger & Thomet APC9 is used by several of the mercenaries who seize the White House, including Stenz and Killick (Kevin Rankin). The submachine gun seen is fitted with a tan upper receiver, an EOTech XPS2 sight, tactical light and suppressor. Cale uses one after seizing it from Ritter (Andreas Apergis) early in the film.

Stenz uses a Heckler & Koch MP5A3 with a suppressor while seizing control of the White House. Stenz's right hand man Motts (Falk Hentschel) uses a MP5A3 with tan furniture, a RIS handguard and foregrip, which is later taken by Cale when he rescues President Sawyer.

A mercenary fires an RPG-7 at an advancing M1 Abrams during a chase between the mercenaries and Cale as he and the President attempt to flee using the Presidential Limousine. In reality, given its horrid accuracy, an RPG-7 with a PG-7VM rocket will do next to nothing to an M1 Abrams main battle tank, especially from the front. Exactly why they didn't use one of the dozen or so Javelin ATGMs they had just carried up, which would easily destroy an Abrams from any angle, is a mystery.

The mercenary fires at a tank attempting to breach the White House lawn. He apparently doesn't realize that an RPG-7 with a PG-7VM rocket will do next to nothing to an Abrams, especially from the front.

Custom RPG-7 (mockup)

While being chased in the Presidential limousine, President James Sawyer (Jamie Foxx) takes out a custom rocket launcher which resembles an Airtronic RPG-7. This particular launcher appears to be an RPG-7D paratrooper model fitted with an M4-style stock and RIS rails. The type used is distinguishable from the standard RPG-7 by its takedown feature and the safety latch extension that is visible under the launch tube to prevent the sear from functioning when the launcher is in two pieces. Two separate rocket types can be seen being used with this weapon; the PG-7VM and the larger PG-7VL, but this launcher is fitted with a chromed warhead. The chrome is most likely for pure design and and to attract the audience, as chromed warheads have no beneficial value and too costly to be standard issue.

President Sawyer aims the launcher. The normal RPG-7 weighs 17.3 kg (37.7 lb) loaded, making it extremely difficult to aim it outside a car window during a high-speed car chase, further implying that this is a prop. Also note that the windows on the real Presidential Limousine WOULD not roll down as seen here.

White House Armory

The armory at the White House stores several pistols, rifles, and submachine guns.
