How Nickel Eye The Time of the Assassins Zip Became a Cult Classic in Indie Rock



Mitch Leary (John Malkovich) builds a custom dual-barrel Composite Pistol made of plastic-like composite material as an assassination weapon to kill the President of the United States. While it is questionable how well the composite material would withstand the high pressure gases from firing, it is used several times in the film without ever breaking. When at the hotel where the President is staying, Leary assembles the weapon under the party table (after having practiced assembling it with his eyes closed several times), after having previously hidden the ammunition in a rabbit's foot keychain, and the springs in a pen. The weapon appears to use .38 Short Colt ammunition, or possibly a variation of .38 S&W with unbelted cartridge cases. One of the prop weapons was deliberately cut into three pieces in order to render it inoperable. Another version of the pistol also appeared in the film No Way Back (1995).

The SIG-Sauer P228 pistol is the sidearm carried by the Agents of the United States Secret Service in the film including Frank Horrigan (Clint Eastwood), Al D'Andrea (Dylan McDermott), and Lilly Raines (Rene Russo). At the time of the film's production, this was the actual sidearm carried by agents of the agency (before the switch to the P229) - In the Line of Fire is thought to be the first film to accurately feature the Secret Service carrying the P228.

At the film's beginning, Mendoza (Tobin Bell) hands Frank Horrigan (Clint Eastwood) a nickel-plated Llama III-A to take out Al D'Andrea (Dylan McDermott) after he discovers he is a Secret Service agent. Frank hefts the gun as he approaches and is seen putting it to the head of D'Andrea.


When the Washington DC Metropolitan Police attempt conduct a raid on the possible home of Mitch Leary (John Malkovich), the MPDC ERT officers are armed with IMI Uzi submachine guns with stocks extended. Uzis are also seen used by the Secret Service agents when they rush the President out of the hotel after the assassination attempt. At the time, the Uzi was the preferred submachine gun carried by the President's Secret Service detail (one was notably drawn out during the actual attempt on President Reagan's life in 1981).
