The Jackal (1997)

The Jackal is the 1997 action thriller starring Richard Gere as a former IRA sniper who is recruited by the FBI to track down a professional assassin known as "The Jackal" (Bruce Willis), who has been hired by a Russian mobster to eliminate a major American political figure. The film is a loose remake of the 1973 thriller The Day of the Jackal.


The following weapons were used in the film The Jackal:

Pistols

SIG-Sauer P228

SIG-Sauer P228 pistols are used by FBI Agents T. I. Witherspoon (J.K. Simmons) and McMurphy (Richard Lineback) in the film. Declan Mulqueen (Richard Gere) uses one at the end of the film when facing The Jackal (Bruce Willis), as does Isabella Zanconia (Mathilda May) when she saves Declan.

Look at the curvature of the magazine, it's a 7.62 mag not a 5.45. The forearm also lacks palm swells. Could be an AKM with a new plastic 7.62x39mm mag. Cause if you take a close look at the end of the barrel it doesn't have the AK-74's flash suppressor/compensator. Also to my knowledge there was newer an AK-74 in 7.62x39mm caliber there is an AK-103, but it is totally black finish (material like on the AK-74M, modernized).

Rifles

Sniper Rifles

Remington 700PSS

The Police Snipers protecting The First Lady (Tess Harper) are seen with Remington 700PSS rifles slung over their backs.

One of the police snipers is also seen using what appears to be a standard Remington 700 when viewed through Declan's scope.

You'd think Declan would know better than to point his rifle at an ally, but no.

Heckler & Koch SR9(TC)

US Marine sniper Akashi (Daniel Dae Kim) carries a customized Heckler & Koch SR9(TC), which like most Hollywood SR9 rifles is in fact a Heckler & Koch HK91 rifle mocked up as SR9 and fitted with a Swarovski LRS 3 (Laser Rangefinding Scope). He gives the rifle to Declan Mulqueen (Richard Gere), who uses the rifle to shoot the scope off of The Jackal's (Bruce Willis) automated machine gun. Akashi then uses the rifle to shoot the gas tank and ignite the fuel, blowing up the SUV housing the gun.

Launchers

WZ.83 Pallad D

Heavy Weapons

"Polish ZSU-33 14.5mm" (Browning M2HB mocked up as KPV heavy machine gun)

For his job, The Jackal (Bruce Willis) purchases a heavy machine gun via online contacts. The weapon is identified in the film as a "Polish ZSU-33 14.5mm", which is in reality a Browning M2HB mocked up as a KPV heavy machine gun in 14.5mm. Both guns have a cyclic rate of 600 rounds per minute, but the Polish gun is said to have a rate of 1400RPM. The rounds Jackal uses are Depleted Uranium rounds, which he claims he uses for better "spall" on impact, even though in reality they are used because of their density and ability to penetrate armor. He notably uses it twice in the film, once to kill Ian Lamont (Jack Black), the man who built the automated mount for him, and again in the assassinate attempt. The mocked up weapon was supplied by Stembridge Gun Rentals.

GE M134 Minigun

While never actually seen in the film, The Jackal (Bruce Willis) is offered a GE M134 Minigun by his contacts while purchasing a weapon on the computer for his assassination. It was the most obvious choice since he requested a weapon with a high cyclic rate, no lower in caliber than 7.62mm. Jackal claims he prefers non-American made weapons, and thus settles for the 14.5mm machine gun.
