'''(Sequel to film [[The Fugitive]])'''
'''''U.S. Marshals''''' is the 1998 follow-up to the 1993 film ''[[The Fugitive]]''. [[Tommy Lee Jones]] returns as Chief Deputy US Marshal Samuel Gerard, who along with his team are determined to track down an escaped prisoner ([[Wesley Snipes]]) who may be a covert CIA assassin.  The film was directed by Stuart Baird (''[[Executive Decision]]).

=Pistols=
==Glock 22==
2nd Generation [[Glock 22]] pistols appears in the film as the main sidearm of Chief Deputy US Marshal Samuel Gerard ([[Tommy Lee Jones]]) and his fellow Marshals. In contrast to ''[[The Fugitive]]'', where Gerard was the only Marshal who carried the Glock 22, it is depicted in this film as the standard sidearm of the entire team, reflecting the transition to .40 S&W Glocks in the Marshal Service in real life. Later in the film, U.S. Diplomatic Security Service Special Agent John Royce ([[Robert Downey Jr.]]) can be seen using one when he and Gerard are pursuing Mark Sheridan ([[Wesley Snipes]]) aboard the cargo ship, breaking up a fight between Sheridan and Gerard by shooting Sheridan in the shoulder after Sheridan gets ahold of Gerard's Glock and pistol-whips Gerard in the back with it. Near the end of the film, Royce attempts to kill Gerard and Sheridan in Sheridan's hospital room, but finds that Gerard has anticipated this and unloaded it when he wasn't looking. When Gerard points out in the hospital that Royce is now carrying a Glock instead of his [[Taurus PT945]] (see below), Royce replies, ''"Yeah, Glock .40, just like yours"''. Gerard also incorrectly states that the G22 can fire underwater (while it can fire a few rounds, it would likely still jam).

==Taurus PT945==
When Royce and Gerard first meet at the plane crash site, Gerard asks to see what kind of weapon Royce is carrying. After jokingly responding, ''"A big one, how 'bout you?"'', Royce produces a stainless steel [[Taurus PT945]] which Gerard calls a "nickel-plated sissy pistol", advising Royce to get a Glock instead. This alone is a potential inaccuracy, as the standard sidearm for DSS special agents is the [[SIG-Sauer P228|SIG P228]] or [[SIG-Sauer P229|P229]]. During the manhunt in the swamp, Sheridan takes the pistol from Royce and holds him at gunpoint in a short standoff with Gerard before shooting Gerard in his bulletproof vest in order to make his escape. Royce manages to retake the weapon and later uses the pistol to mortally wound Deputy Marshal Noah Newman ([[Tom Wood]]) when Newman catches Royce about to kill Sheridan in cold blood at the Lorelei Building. Royce then tries to pass it off as Sheridan's gun by filing off the serial number, but Gerard recognizes it from their earlier meeting. This particular pistol would later be reused for an episode of ''[[NCIS - Season 8|NCIS]]''.

''Note that the serial number on all Taurus semi-auto pistols is found only on the left side of the frame, not the right side. However, since it would have been a felony for the movie's armorers to remove the gun's actual serial number, it appears that they dremel'ed an area on the opposite site of the frame in order to provide the illusion of a filed-off serial number.'']]

==Glock 27==
When boarding the prisoner transport flight, Gerard removes both his Glock 22 and a sub-compact Glock variant that he carries in an ankle holster as a backup weapon. This is most likely a [[Glock 27]], which is chambered for the same .40 Smith & Wesson cartridge as his Glock 22. After this scene, the baby Glock is not seen for the rest of the film, likely lost in the crash-landing incident.

==Kahr K9==
Following the car crash in Chicago, firefighters responding to the accident find a blue steel [[Kahr K9]] hidden in the glove-box of Sheridan's tow truck (although the gun is mostly covered up by the holster it's in, you can see "K9" on the end of the slide). The discovery of this weapon is what leads to Sheridan being arrested for illegal possession of a firearm (because ownership of a handgun in Chicago was illegal at the time of this film).

== Glock 22 ==
==Colt Gold Cup National Match Enhanced==
Upon reaching New York City, Sheridan meets with an old friend he calls "Sarge" ([[Lorenzo Clemons]]) who provides him with materials needed in his mission to exonerate himself, including a stainless steel [[Colt Gold Cup National Match Enhanced]]. He then uses it when he confronts Agent Barrows ([[Rick Snyder]]) in the cemetery, pistol-whipping him in the face and holding him at gunpoint with it. He then uses it in the ensuing shootout with Xian Chen, and while being pursued to the Lorelei Building by Gerard and company. Interestingly, Gerard can be seen holding this pistol in promotional material for the film, but never uses one on-screen.

The 2nd Generation [[Glock#Glock 22|Glock 22]] pistol appears in the film as the main weapon of U.S. Deputy Marshal Sam Gerard ([[Tommy Lee Jones]]) and his fellow deputies. Later in the film, Special Agent John Royce ([[Robert Downey Jr.]]) can be seen using one when he and Gerard are pursuing Mark Sheridan ([[Wesley Snipes]]) aboard the cargo ship, breaking up a fight between Sheridan and Gerard by shooting Sheridan in the shoulder after Sheridan gets ahold of Gerard's Glock and pistol-whips Gerard in the back with it. Near the end of the film, Royce attempts to use his Glock to kill Sheridan and Gerard, only to discover that Gerard had replaced the magazine with an empty one from his gun.
==Beretta 92FS==
A Chicago police officer who arrests Sheridan at Chicago Memorial Hospital appears to have a [[Beretta 92FS]] in his holster.

(It is revealed in the film that Gerard carries the G22 during the hospital scene, when Gerard points out that Royce is now carrying a Glock and Royce replies, "Yeah, Glock .40, just like yours.")
==Smith & Wesson 1006==
A Kentucky State Trooper who stops Earl's ([[Ray Toler]]) semi-truck at a roadblock is seen with what appears to be a [[Smith & Wesson 1006]] in his holster. The S&W 1006 was carried by the Kentucky State Police at the time of the film's production.

==SIG-Sauer P228==
[[Image:Vlcsnap-283965.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Gerard with his Glock 22.]]
Deputy Marshal Bobby Biggs ([[Daniel Roebuck]]) is seen unloading a fugitive's [[SIG-Sauer P228]] during the bust at the start of the film, while holding his Glock 22 in his other hand.

== Taurus PT945 ==
==Bersa Thunder 380==
Deputy Marshal Cosmo Renfro ([[Joe Pantoliano]]) is seen with what appears to be a [[Bersa Thunder 380]] pistol in a back holster.

When Royce and Gerard first meet, Gerard asks to see what kind of gun Royce is carrying. Royce then produces a stainless steel [[Taurus PT945]] which Gerard calls a "nickel-plated sissy pistol", advising Royce to get a Glock instead. During the manhunt in the swamp, Sheridan takes the pistol from Royce and holds him at gunpoint in a short standoff with Gerard before shooting Gerard in his bulletproof vest in order to make his escape. Royce manages to retake the weapon and later uses the pistol to fatally wound Deputy Marshal Noah Newman ([[Tom Wood]]) when Newman catches Royce about to kill Sheridan in cold blood at the Lorelei Building. Royce then tries to pass it off as the gun Sheridan used to kill Newman with the serial number filed off, but Gerard recognizes it from their earlier meeting.
=Revolvers=
==Ruger SP101==
When Sheridan hijacks a semi truck belonging to a man named Earl ([[Ray Toler]]), he also takes possession of the driver's [[Ruger SP101]] revolver and some extra ammo for it. After Sheridan releases his hostages and they speak to the marshals, Biggs incorrectly tells Gerard that the five-shot SP101 has, "6 [cartridges] in the gun." (His SP101 is clearly the 5-round .357 version.) Sheridan later uses the SP101 during the manhunt in the swamp, holding Royce at gunpoint with it.

[[Image:945SS.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Taurus PT945 .45 ACP (the one in the movie is an older model PT945, which has a stamped slide that looks slightly different)]]
==Smith & Wesson Model 36==
[[Image:Vlcsnap-266580.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Gerard inspects Royce's "nickel-plated sissy pistol" (Taurus PT945).]]
When Royce finds his Glock 22 has been emptied on him, he makes a last ditch effort to kill Gerard by drawing a nickel plated [[Smith & Wesson Model 36]] before being gunned down. It does not appear to be the Ruger SP101 that Sheridan used to hold Royce hostage in the swamp, previously mentioned. Royce's attempt to draw and use this weapon reveals that, contrary to his earlier statement to Gerard, he ''does'' in fact carry a backup weapon.
[[Image:Vlcsnap-281501.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Royce holding his Taurus PT945 on Sheridan's head.]]
[[Image:Vlcsnap-287647.jpg|thumb|none|400px|A close-up of the PT945 with the serial number filed off in Gerard's hands.]]


== Glock 27 ==

[[Image:USM-S&W36nickel-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Royce is shot by Gerard while trying to draw his backup nickel Smith & Wesson Model 36.]]


When boarding the prisoner transport flight, Gerard removes both his Glock 22 and a sub-compact Glock variant that he carries in an ankle holster as a backup weapon. This is most likely a [[Glock#Glock 27|Glock 27]], which is chambered for the same .40 S&W cartridge as his [[Glock#Glock 22|Glock 22]]. After this scene, the baby Glock is not seen for the rest of the film, likely lost in the crash-landing incident.
==Colt Python==
A Deputy Sheriff is seen with a [[Colt Python]] in his holster at the site of the plane crash.

==Remington 870==
[[Remington 870]] shotguns make several appearances in the film, first in the hands of the guards on the plane following the crash-landing, then in the hands of locals helping with the swamp manhunt.
[[Image:Remington870PoliceStd.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Remington 870 Police Magnum Riot Shotgun - 12 Gauge]]

== Glock 17 ==
==Ithaca 37==
NYPD officers outside the Lorelei Building are seen holding [[Ithaca 37]] shotguns, one with an extended magazine tube and one with a standard tube.

[[Image:USM-Ithaca37-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Two NYPD officers holding Ithaca 37 shotguns.]]


NYPD officers responding to the Lorelei Building can be seen carrying [[Glock#Glock 17|Glock 17]]s as their standard sidearms.
==Maverick 88==
A [[Maverick Model 88]] shotgun with pistol grip is recovered by Gerard from a baby's crib during the fugitive arrest in the beginning of the film. The Maverick 88 is an inexpensive version of the [[Mossberg 500]]. One of the suspects tries to get this weapon so that he can shoot Deputy Marshal Noah Newman, but Newman shoots him with his Glock 22 in the shoulder before he can do this. Gerard later takes this weapon and uses it to intimidate another suspect. It is noted as a Maverick 88 by its safety moved from the receiver tang to the trigger guard.

[[Image:USM-MossbergPersuader-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gerard removes the pistol gripped Maverick 88 from the baby's crib. Note lack of safety on the top rear of the receiver, indicating it is a Maverick and not a Mossberg 500.]]
[[Image:USM-MossbergPersuader-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gerard pumps the action of the Maverick 88 before holding it on the resisting suspect, and ejects a live round. The standard police practice when picking up an unknown weapon is to rack the action, to be sure it is loaded, as they may need to use it quickly and don't know if has a round in the chamber. As Gerard pulled the shotgun from out of the baby crib, it's likely he would be pumping it to ensure this.]]

== Colt AR-15/SP1 Carbine ==
=Rifles=
==Colt Sporter II Carbine==
During the cemetery scene, Sheridan and the Deputies come under fire by U.N. Cultural Attache of China Xian Chen ([[Michael Paul Chan]]) wielding a [[Colt Sporter Carbine|Colt Sporter II Carbine]] fitted with an Aimpoint 9000L red dot scope and sound suppressor from the roof of the funeral home.

[[Image:USM-AR15SporterII-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Chen is arrested by Biggs and Cooper on the roof.]]


During the cemetery scene, Sheridan and the deputies come under fire by U.N. Cultural Attache of China Xian Chen ([[Michael Paul Chan]]) wielding a [[M16 rifle series#Colt Carbine/Model 653/Model 733|Colt AR-15/SP1 Carbine]] fitted with a scope and Sound Suppressor from the roof of one of the buildings.  
==Heckler & Koch SR9(T)==
During the swamp scene, a Kentucky State Police officer in a helicopter can briefly be seen with a [[Heckler & Koch SR9|Heckler & Koch SR9(T)]] sniper rifle, loaded with a 20-round magazine.

==Orion Flare Gun==
When Sheridan is found in the swamps, Gerard and a local boatman fire [[Orion Flare Gun]]s into the air to mark their positions for backup to arrive.

==XL-17 Pen Gun==
[[Image:Vlcsnap-276860.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Chen loads up his Colt AR-15/SP1 carbine in preparation to kill Sheridan.]]
While on board the prisoner transport flight, a prisoner retrieves an [[Assassination Device|XL-17 pen gun]] hidden in a roll of toilet paper in the lavatory. The prisoner then attempts to use the weapon to kill Sheridan but fails, the shot shattering a window of the plane and causing an explosive decompression that sucks the would-be assassin and several other prisoners and guards out of the plane and forces an emergency landing. Of course, a single bullet hole cannot cause explosive decompression in real life.

== Kahr K9 ==
=Trivia Special=
==Sparking Bullets==
Like most typical Hollywood films, we see that bullets spark against the oddest things, when most bullets don't even spark on ''metal''.
[[Image:USM-SparkyBullets-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A 5.56mm round sparking against ''concrete''.]]
[[Image:USM-SparkyBullets-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A .45 ACP round sparking on ''wood''.]]


Following the car crash in Chicago, firefighters responding to the accident find a blue steel [[Kahr K9]] hidden in the glovebox of Sheridan's tow truck (although the gun is mostly covered up by the holster it's in, you can see "K9" on the end of the slide). The discovery of this weapon leads to Sheridan being arrested on concealed weapons charges.

U.S. Marshals (1998)

U.S. Marshals is the 1998 follow-up to the 1993 film The Fugitive. Tommy Lee Jones returns as Chief Deputy US Marshal Samuel Gerard, who along with his team are determined to track down an escaped prisoner (Wesley Snipes) who may be a covert CIA assassin. The film was directed by Stuart Baird (Executive Decision).

The following weapons were used in the film U.S. Marshals:

Pistols

Glock 22

2nd Generation Glock 22 pistols appears in the film as the main sidearm of Chief Deputy US Marshal Samuel Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) and his fellow Marshals. In contrast to The Fugitive, where Gerard was the only Marshal who carried the Glock 22, it is depicted in this film as the standard sidearm of the entire team, reflecting the transition to .40 S&W Glocks in the Marshal Service in real life. Later in the film, U.S. Diplomatic Security Service Special Agent John Royce (Robert Downey Jr.) can be seen using one when he and Gerard are pursuing Mark Sheridan (Wesley Snipes) aboard the cargo ship, breaking up a fight between Sheridan and Gerard by shooting Sheridan in the shoulder after Sheridan gets ahold of Gerard's Glock and pistol-whips Gerard in the back with it. Near the end of the film, Royce attempts to kill Gerard and Sheridan in Sheridan's hospital room, but finds that Gerard has anticipated this and unloaded it when he wasn't looking. When Gerard points out in the hospital that Royce is now carrying a Glock instead of his Taurus PT945 (see below), Royce replies, "Yeah, Glock .40, just like yours". Gerard also incorrectly states that the G22 can fire underwater (while it can fire a few rounds, it would likely still jam).

Taurus PT945

When Royce and Gerard first meet at the plane crash site, Gerard asks to see what kind of weapon Royce is carrying. After jokingly responding, "A big one, how 'bout you?", Royce produces a stainless steel Taurus PT945 which Gerard calls a "nickel-plated sissy pistol", advising Royce to get a Glock instead. This alone is a potential inaccuracy, as the standard sidearm for DSS special agents is the SIG P228 or P229. During the manhunt in the swamp, Sheridan takes the pistol from Royce and holds him at gunpoint in a short standoff with Gerard before shooting Gerard in his bulletproof vest in order to make his escape. Royce manages to retake the weapon and later uses the pistol to mortally wound Deputy Marshal Noah Newman (Tom Wood) when Newman catches Royce about to kill Sheridan in cold blood at the Lorelei Building. Royce then tries to pass it off as Sheridan's gun by filing off the serial number, but Gerard recognizes it from their earlier meeting. This particular pistol would later be reused for an episode of NCIS.

Note that the serial number on all Taurus semi-auto pistols is found only on the left side of the frame, not the right side. However, since it would have been a felony for the movie's armorers to remove the gun's actual serial number, it appears that they dremel'ed an area on the opposite site of the frame in order to provide the illusion of a filed-off serial number.

Glock 27

When boarding the prisoner transport flight, Gerard removes both his Glock 22 and a sub-compact Glock variant that he carries in an ankle holster as a backup weapon. This is most likely a Glock 27, which is chambered for the same .40 Smith & Wesson cartridge as his Glock 22. After this scene, the baby Glock is not seen for the rest of the film, likely lost in the crash-landing incident.

Kahr K9

Following the car crash in Chicago, firefighters responding to the accident find a blue steel Kahr K9 hidden in the glove-box of Sheridan's tow truck (although the gun is mostly covered up by the holster it's in, you can see "K9" on the end of the slide). The discovery of this weapon is what leads to Sheridan being arrested for illegal possession of a firearm (because ownership of a handgun in Chicago was illegal at the time of this film).

Colt Gold Cup National Match Enhanced

Upon reaching New York City, Sheridan meets with an old friend he calls "Sarge" (Lorenzo Clemons) who provides him with materials needed in his mission to exonerate himself, including a stainless steel Colt Gold Cup National Match Enhanced. He then uses it when he confronts Agent Barrows (Rick Snyder) in the cemetery, pistol-whipping him in the face and holding him at gunpoint with it. He then uses it in the ensuing shootout with Xian Chen, and while being pursued to the Lorelei Building by Gerard and company. Interestingly, Gerard can be seen holding this pistol in promotional material for the film, but never uses one on-screen.

A Kentucky State Trooper who stops Earl's (Ray Toler) semi-truck at a roadblock is seen with what appears to be a Smith & Wesson 1006 in his holster. The S&W 1006 was carried by the Kentucky State Police at the time of the film's production.

Revolvers

Ruger SP101

When Sheridan hijacks a semi truck belonging to a man named Earl (Ray Toler), he also takes possession of the driver's Ruger SP101 revolver and some extra ammo for it. After Sheridan releases his hostages and they speak to the marshals, Biggs incorrectly tells Gerard that the five-shot SP101 has, "6 [cartridges] in the gun." (His SP101 is clearly the 5-round .357 version.) Sheridan later uses the SP101 during the manhunt in the swamp, holding Royce at gunpoint with it.

Smith & Wesson Model 36

When Royce finds his Glock 22 has been emptied on him, he makes a last ditch effort to kill Gerard by drawing a nickel plated Smith & Wesson Model 36 before being gunned down. It does not appear to be the Ruger SP101 that Sheridan used to hold Royce hostage in the swamp, previously mentioned. Royce's attempt to draw and use this weapon reveals that, contrary to his earlier statement to Gerard, he does in fact carry a backup weapon.

Maverick 88

A Maverick Model 88 shotgun with pistol grip is recovered by Gerard from a baby's crib during the fugitive arrest in the beginning of the film. The Maverick 88 is an inexpensive version of the Mossberg 500. One of the suspects tries to get this weapon so that he can shoot Deputy Marshal Noah Newman, but Newman shoots him with his Glock 22 in the shoulder before he can do this. Gerard later takes this weapon and uses it to intimidate another suspect. It is noted as a Maverick 88 by its safety moved from the receiver tang to the trigger guard.

Gerard pumps the action of the Maverick 88 before holding it on the resisting suspect, and ejects a live round. The standard police practice when picking up an unknown weapon is to rack the action, to be sure it is loaded, as they may need to use it quickly and don't know if has a round in the chamber. As Gerard pulled the shotgun from out of the baby crib, it's likely he would be pumping it to ensure this.

Rifles

Colt Sporter II Carbine

During the cemetery scene, Sheridan and the Deputies come under fire by U.N. Cultural Attache of China Xian Chen (Michael Paul Chan) wielding a Colt Sporter II Carbine fitted with an Aimpoint 9000L red dot scope and sound suppressor from the roof of the funeral home.

XL-17 Pen Gun

While on board the prisoner transport flight, a prisoner retrieves an XL-17 pen gun hidden in a roll of toilet paper in the lavatory. The prisoner then attempts to use the weapon to kill Sheridan but fails, the shot shattering a window of the plane and causing an explosive decompression that sucks the would-be assassin and several other prisoners and guards out of the plane and forces an emergency landing. Of course, a single bullet hole cannot cause explosive decompression in real life.
