This is seen in the film from the varying viewpoints of those who witnessed the attempt, including Global News Network producer Rex Brooks ([[Sigourney Weaver]]), United States Secret Service Agents Thomas Barnes ([[Dennis Quaid]]) and Kent Taylor ([[Matthew Fox]]), American tourist Howard Lewis ([[Forest Whitaker]]), Spanish police officer Enrique ([[Eduardo Noriega]]), deadly terrorists Suarez ([[Saïd Taghmaoui]]) and Veronica ([[Ayelet Zurer]]), and blackmailed former special forces member Javier ([[Edgar Ramirez]]). Due to principal filming being done in Mexico City, a number of the firearms in the film (notably the [[Beretta 92FS]] pistols) are blank-firing only replicas instead of blank-converted registered firearms, likely due to lack of availability.

==Beretta 92FS==
==Beretta 92FS==
The most commonly used gun in the film is the [[Beretta 92FS]] pistol, seen carried by Spanish police officer Enrique ([[Eduardo Noriega]]), as well as all of the terrorists in the film. USSS Agent Kent Taylor ([[Matthew Fox]]) is curious seen using a Beretta as his sidearm, instead of the correct [[SIG-Sauer P229]] pistol typically issued to Secret Service. Many of the Berettas appear to be Bruni Model 92 8mm stage firing blank replicas. Many of them have the proper Beretta logo grips though, so they could have been installed on the props, or actual Berettas may have been used depending on location of filming.

Vantage Point (2008)


Vantage Point is a 2008 action thriller that follows the events surrounding an assassination attempt on the US President Henry Ashton (William Hurt), while making a speech in Salamanca, Spain promoting a treaty to fight international terrorism. This is seen in the film from the varying viewpoints of those who witnessed the attempt, including Global News Network producer Rex Brooks (Sigourney Weaver), United States Secret Service Agents Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) and Kent Taylor (Matthew Fox), American tourist Howard Lewis (Forest Whitaker), Spanish police officer Enrique (Eduardo Noriega), deadly terrorists Suarez (Saïd Taghmaoui) and Veronica (Ayelet Zurer), and blackmailed former special forces member Javier (Edgar Ramirez). Due to principal filming being done in Mexico City, a number of the firearms in the film (notably the Beretta 92FS pistols) are blank-firing only replicas instead of blank-converted registered firearms, likely due to lack of availability.


The following weapons were used in the film Vantage Point:

Handguns

SIG-Sauer P229

The issued sidearm of USSS agent Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) is an older model SIG-Sauer P229 pistol chambered in 9x19mm, instead of the correct .357 SIG ammunition chambered for the real life USSS SIG pistols.

The USSS agent pursues Enrique with his SIG-Sauer P229R at the ready. Due to continuity error, it changes from a Bruni 8mm Beretta replica.

Beretta 92FS

The most commonly used gun in the film is the Beretta 92FS pistol, seen carried by Spanish police officer Enrique (Eduardo Noriega), as well as all of the terrorists in the film. USSS Agent Kent Taylor (Matthew Fox) is curiously seen using a Beretta as his sidearm, instead of the correct SIG-Sauer P229 pistol typically issued to Secret Service. Many of the Berettas appear to be Bruni Model 92 8mm stage firing blank replicas.

While wearing a signature terrorist balaclava, Javier fires on Secret Service agents with his suppressed chromed Glock 17. Here he has a grip rather fitting for a formal special forces soldier (aside from not keeping the gun eye level), although his thumbs are a little high here.
