The following guns were used in the film Romeo + Juliet

Para Ordnance P-13 Stainless

This is the sidearm carried by Leonardo DiCaprio as Romeo, later used by Juliet to shoot herself in the head. During the gas station shootout, the pink-haired Montague Boy packs a customized gold-plated version.

.45 double stack commander size with 13 rd magazine

Romeo's pistol with gold detailing.

Taurus PT99

Most of the 9mm handguns used in the movie by various characters are Taurus PT99 pistols (a variant of the PT92 with raised, adjustable sights) with a number of modifications to make them look "artsy". In addition, the guns' brand names are particular types of knives and swords, so that the filmmakers did not have to change the original dialog by Shakespeare.

Older-model Taurus PT99 - 9x19mm
Benvolio's (Dash Mihok's) "Sword 9mm Series S"

Looks to me it is indeed a pt99. Note, however, that it has a much longer barrel and slide. Any notes on that??

Tybalt's (John Leguizamo's) "Rapier 9mm Series R"

Beretta 92FS

Modified Beretta Model 92FS pistols were used by the characters Abra and Petruchio.

MAG-7 shotgun

The "Longsword" which Ted Montague reaches for is actually a South African-manufactured Techno Arms MAG-7 shotgun (it is difficult to tell from the scene in the movie whether it is the original MAG-7 or the civilian MAG-7M1 sold in the United States, which has a fixed wooden stock and a longer barrel).

Special: This gun was later used (with a silencer) by Willem Dafoe in The Boondock Saints. Charles Taylor was the armorer on both The Boondock Saints and Romeo + Juliet, and his company MAG supplied all guns for both shows. It could be the same P5; the pearl grips might have simply been removed for the later film. -MT2008

Touché. Well researched.


Actually the gun in use is a mauser hsc, look at the hammer and trigger guard.

No, it is not an HSC, the HSC has a different barrel. It's actually a P5C, the compact version, which has a spurred hammer and shorter barrel. -MT2008
