When Leary offers to pull Horrigan up and save him from falling he draws his SIG P228 and holds it on him. Leary knows he won't fire since he would drop him, so he taunts him by wrapping his mouth around the muzzle. This was John Malkovich's improvisation, as it makes him look more pyschotic.

Horrigan chambers his SIG P228 on his way to the hotel. The gun is actually empty, since when he pulls the slide back, it locks, and then he releases it.

Llama III-A

At the start of the film, Mendoza (Tobin Bell) hands Frank Horrigan (Clint Eastwood) a nickel plated Llama III-A to kill Al D'Andrea (Dylan McDermott) after he discovers he is a Secret Service agent. Frank weighs the gun as he approaches and convinces Mendoza he isn't Secret Service by clicking the gun to D'Andrea's head, aware it was in fact empty.

Composite Pistol

Mitch Leary (John Malkovich) builds a plastic Composite Pistol with two barrels as an assassination weapon to kill the President of the United States. While it is questionable how well the composite material would withstand the high pressure gases from firing, it is used several times in the film without ever breaking. When at the hotel where the President is staying, Leary assembles the weapon under the party table (after practicing assembling it blind folded several times) and had previously hidden the ammunition in a rabbit's foot keychain, and the springs in a pen. The weapon appears to use .32 S&W Long ammunition.

IMI Uzi

Unfortunately, it turns out that Leary scrambled the trace and lead the Secret Service and the police to a completely different address. Uzis are also seen used by the Secret Service agents when they rush the President out of the hotel after the assassination attempt.
