Instead of the Beretta 92F carried in the original Die Hard, Lieutenant John McClane (Bruce Willis) carries the improved Beretta 92FS as his sidearm in this film. The Washington Dulles Airport Police, including Chief Carmine Lorenzo (Dennis Franz) carry the Beretta 92FS. US Army Major Grant (John Amos) also uses a 92FS, standing in for the military-issue M9. Since McClane transferred to the LAPD after the events of the first Die Hard, it is likely he switched to the 92FS since that was the standard-issue sidearm of the LAPD at the time. This is correctly shown in the film, as Sergeant Al Powell (Reginald VelJohnson) is also shown carrying a Beretta instead of the Smith & Wesson Model 15 he used in the first film. The Beretta 92FS used by Bruce Willis in this film was originally purchased by Cinema Weaponry for Lethal Weapon 2; it subsequently appeared in the next four entries in the Die Hard franchise. Unlike the Beretta 92F used in the first film, the slide release on the 92FS was not extended for Bruce Willis, though the magazine release was reversed to accommodate Willis (who is left-handed).
