Colt M1911

Abdul (Robert Forster) uses a Colt M1911 to take control over the plane. Col. Nick Alexander (Lee Marvin) uses an M1911 to take out the terrorist holding the airliner's pilot and crew hostage in the head (Alexander's M1911 has a lowered ejection port - possibly a non-military issue Colt Mk IV Series 70, used as a double for a GI issue M1911A1). It looks to be modified with a selective fire switch on the left side of the pistol, on the slide grip. There is also Delta hammer, instead of the standard Spur hammer on his M1911.

Note that the PM-63, which fires from open bolt in spite of pistol-like design, is not cocked i.e. unable to fire. In order to fire, the upper receiver would have to be in the rearmost position, with the tip of the slant compensator in line with the front sight on the barrel, located *above* the compensator. The design of the extra long compensator enables the shooter to cock the gun one-handed simply by pushing it forward against any hard surface. This is one of very few machine pistols designs where the uncovered upper receiver moves back and forth during automatic fire, similar to that of a pistol.

RPD machine gun

Used by the Lebanese militants.
