Die Hard (1988) Beretta 92FS
Die Hard (1988)
Bruce Willis as John McClane
Beretta 92FS - 9mm
This Beretta was the signature sidearm of police officer John
McClane
during the hostage holdup of the Nakatomi Plaza in the
1988 film Die Hard.
Often called "The best action
movie of all time," the success of the film gained
popularity for
the Beretta 92, and that same model remained Bruce Willis' sidearm
throughout much of the Die Hard series. It was also
used by Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon.
