The Peacemaker is a 1997 thriller starring George Clooney as a US Army Special Forces colonel and Nicole Kidman as a nuclear weapons expert who work together to locate a trainload of nuclear warheads that have gone missing following a nuclear detonation in Russia. The Peacemaker was the first feature film directed by Mimi Leder (Deep Impact) and the first feature to be released by Dreamworks Entertainment.
The following weapons were used in the film The Peacemaker:
FBI agents are seen drawing Astra A-100 pistols during a confrontation at JFK airport. The Astra A-100 was most likely chosen due to its similtarity to the SIG-Sauer P228, the actual FBI-issued sidearm.
The Glock 17 is seen being used by a member of the security team chasing Devoe in Austria. Several law enforcement officers in New York are also seen armed with the Glock.
General Aleksandr Kodoroff (Aleksandr Baluev) uses a Steyr GB pistol after hijacking the nukes. When stopped at a checkpoint, Kodoroff pulls his GB and gives a very clear view of it from the side.
The early (and outdated) Colt CAR-15 assault rifles (some mounted with M203 launcher attached) are the primary rifles used by the Special Ops Force soldiers that accompany Col. Devoe (George Clooney).
An FBI agent is briefly seen in the elevator is armed with a Colt CAR-15 that's fitted with a Laser Products (now SureFire) 9P flashlight.

The CAR-15 in this shot appears to have a SureFire flashlight mounted on it.
M16A1
Several New York National Guard troops show up to aid in the finding of the bomb, carrying the older M16A1s. This is a correct prop for the National Guard Troops given the time this movie was made. M16A1s were being issued to National Guard Infantry units as late as 2002. There are probably some Guard units that still have them today.
The Russian soldiers in the beginning of the film use SA Vz.58 assault rifles, which are incorrect as they should be using the standard weapon AK-74M. IFOR soldiers who raid the home of Gravich are also armed with the rifle.
The Heckler & Koch MP5A3 fitted with weaponlights and laser sights is primarily seen in the hands of the US Special Forces, notably Santiago (Carlos Gomez).
A Schermuly Multi-Purpose Gun with the stock removed is seen being used by the driver of the truck. He uses it twice, once to blow up a Russian Border Patrol, the again to shoot at Devoe’s chopper, but he shoots the floor of his truck, which blows up, killing him.
