Speed is the 1994 action film that stars Keanu Reeves as Jack Traven, an LAPD SWAT officer who finds himself on a city bus which he is told will explode if its speed dips below 50 miles per hour. The film marked the directorial debut of noted action film cinematographer Jan de Bont and the cast included Dennis Hopper as well as Sandra Bullock in her breakthrough performance. Sandra Bullock would return in the 1997 sequel Speed 2: Cruise Control.


The following weapons were used in the film Speed:


Handguns

M1911A1

LAPD SWAT officers including Jack Traven (Keanu Reeves) and Harry Temple (Jeff Daniels) keep M1911A1 pistols with (early made "Laser Products") Surefire 310R (Reeves) and 610R (Daniels) flashlights as their sidearms in the film. Even though the LAPD standard issue sidearm for patrol officers were in 9mm caliber, LAPD SWAT had always used .45 M1911 models as their sidearm. These 1911 models varied differently for each user, many of which where handguns originally confiscated from criminals and tricked out by the department "gun cage jockey" who would turn the guns into tactical weapons. These were also the first guns to be fitted with frame mounted flashlights. After deciding to have the department issue these guns so the officers wouldn't have to buy them, they tested several models until they decided upon the Kimber Custom TLE II as their sidearms. Since this film is before the issue of these guns, the 1911s can be any type of model. According to the armorers who worked on this film, the 1911s in the film were both 1911A1s and 9mm Colt Series 70s.

When discussing a scenario in which a terrorist holds a hostage at gunpoint at 100 feet, Jack said to wound the hostage to slow down the terrorist. Unfortunately for Harry, he shows here he truly believes in this method and shoots Harry in the leg after Harry asks him to (missing his Femoral Artery by inches!). Harry curses him for this and he shrugs a "what did you expect" shrug.

Some characters don't have the grips taped (red and green circle Richard Lineback). They also have Series 70 Colt emblems on the grips.

Smith & Wesson 6904

Jack Traven (Keanu Reeves) keeps a Smith & Wesson 6904 as his off-duty sidearm in the film. This gun was built as a concealable 12 shot version of the 5904 model, with a 3.5" barrel and a bobbed hammer.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch HK94A3 (chopped and converted)

LAPD SWAT Officers Jack Traven (Keanu Reeves) and Harry Temple (Jeff Daniels) are seen using Heckler & Koch HK94A3 collapsing stock civilian guns with 16" barrels chopped and converted to resemble MP5A3s, fitted with Surefire light dedicated forends when responding to an incident near the beginning of the film. They can be noted as HK94s instead of MP5A3s because of the lack of barrel lugs, a push-pin set, and the lack of a paddle magazine release behind the magazine.

Heckler & Koch SP89 (mocked up as MP5K)

Howard Payne (Dennis Hopper) uses a nickel plated Heckler & Koch SP89 made to look like an MP5K by adding the MP5K foregrip and converting it to full-auto. It can be noted as an SP89 instead of an MP5K due to the lack of a paddle magazine release behind the magazine and lack of a push-pin lower receiver. According to the movie armorers, the filmmakers paid in advance for the armorers to send out the gun to be nickel plated. The weapon stayed Satin nickel until after 2001 when it was converted back to live fire.

Shotguns

Mossberg 500A Mariner (Pistol Grip)

Howard Payne (Dennis Hopper) uses a Mossberg 500A Mariner fitted with a pistol grip with the barrel sawed down to 16" to shoot at Jack and Harry through the roof of the elevator (which would result in temporary hearing damage). When Harry falls through, he continues to fire at Jack, while taking the elevator to the top floor to force Jack to jump in. When he does, he sticks the shotgun in his face and pulls the trigger, only to find the gun is empty. In reality, his Mossberg is a six shot (including one in the chamber), not eight like it is portrayed in the film.
