Direct Hit is a 1994 action movie directed by Joseph Merhi and Paul G. Volk and starring William Forsythe as Hatch, a hitman on CIA service.

= Trivia =
== SerLea SMG ==
SerLea (or SerLea-ACE) is a double barreled submachine gun, designed by a Lebanese gunsmith who brought the design to the USA in 1990. Los Angeles Police Department showed interest in the design but rejected the proposal at last. A single prototype, owned by Arms Craft & Engineering (hence ACE in the name), was loaned to a movie studio and appeared in Direct Hit (all firearms for the movie were supplied by Arms Craft & Engineering and advised by armourer Micha Hamilton).
The weapon has twin barrels, twin magazines, and twin bolts, with a synchronizing device to turn the weapon into a single high rate of fire submachine gun. It is claimed that the weapon may fire one barrel at a time only if one magazine is inserted but in the movie SerLea fires both barrels alternately (see screenshots).
