Double Impact is a 1991 action film that focuses on a pair of twins who are raised in separate countries and environments after their parents are killed in an ambush. Reunited in Hong Kong, the twins join forces to take down the man responsible for their parents' deaths and stealing their rightful inheritance. Jean Claude Van Damme portrays both Alex, a French-raised karate instructor fond of short-shorts and the color pink, and Chad, a low level crook raised in Hong Kong and fond of cigars and leather jackets.
The following weapons were used in the film Double Impact
Alex (Jean-Claude Van Damme) uses a Beretta 92FS during the raid on the warehouse, chambering it upside down after a dive roll into combat. He later draws his second Beretta and dual-wields them for the duration of the warehouse shootout.
A Desert Eagle MK IV fitted with a cumbersome 1980's laser sight mounted on top is used by a Triad in the drug factory shootout. Judging by the size of the bore, it was most likely a .357 Magnum version (being the most popular version in movies released in the early 1990's).
Error creating thumbnail: File missingOlder Smith & Wesson Ladysmith Model 60 - .38 Special.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAlex has a Smith & Wesson Model 60 put to his cheek. How is the trigger back that far and a round not have gone off? Note that the hammer is cocked, and the revolver is now functioning in single-action mode. Therefore, the trigger SHOULD be that far back, and NOT a movie mistake.
Walther P38
A Walther P38 used by one of the Triad members in the opening shootout.
An M16A1 is used by Triad soldiers during the beach hotel attack, some with Vietnam style short magazines. One is recovered and used by Chad. Distinguishable as an A1 due to the triangular foregrip and old-style pistol grip.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3's are seen in the hands of Triad members at the drug warehouse, and are also used by Chad during the raid. It is fitted with a telescoping stock, and a slimline forearm. Interesting to note that the sound used to dub the MP5 gunshots is switched with the Uzi halfway through the film.
