The Substitute

The Substitute is a 1996 action film starring Tom Berenger as John Shale, a mercenary who poses as a substitute teacher at the high school that his girlfriend teaches at in order to find out why she was attacked. The film would spawn a series of direct to video sequels including The Substitute 2: School's Out, that starred Treat Williams in a similar role.
__TOC__
=Handguns=
==Smith & Wesson Sigma 9F==
Mercenary John Shale (Tom Berenger) is seen using a Smith & Wesson Sigma 9F as his sidearm in the film. At the time this movie was made, the Sigma was new to the market and it appears that whenever the pistol is seen fired, a Glock was substituted.
==Glock 17==
On the shooting range, Wellman (Richard Brooks) is seen firing a Glock 17. Glock 17s are also used by various henchmen in the film, including a hitman during an attempted drive-by shooting on Shale. It also appears that a Glock replaces Shale's Sigma in a continuity error, whenever the pistol is actually fired.
==Walther PPK/S==
Juan Lacas (Marc Anthony) is seen carrying a Walther PPK/S as his main handgun. He is also seen using it with a suppressor.
==SIG-Sauer P226 (Nickel)==
A nickel SIG-Sauer P226 is the main sidearm of Hollan (William Forsythe). The nickel SIG is also seen throughout the movie in the hands of various other characters, including Johnny Glades (Rodney A. Grant), Lacas' henchmen, and the school librarian.

==Heckler & Koch P9S==
A security guard at the school is seen holding a Heckler & Koch P9S. This pistol is later seen in the hands of one of Lacas' henchmen who holds Jane Hetzko (Diane Venora) and her students hostage. It is also fired by Jerome (Sharron Corley).
==Beretta 92FS==
One of Lacas' guys is seen holding a Beretta 92FS while holding Shale hostage. Shale also handles the pistol. The Beretta is also used by Claude Rolle (Ernie Hudson) as his sidearm at the end of the movie.
==Beretta 92FS Inox==
On the shooting range, Joey Six (Raymond Cruz) is seen firing a Beretta 92FS Inox. He later uses it to kill two of Johnny Glades' henchmen at a cocaine drop. 
==Jericho 941==
John Janus (Willis Sparks) uses a two-tone Jericho 941 during the final shootout at the school.
==Heckler & Koch USP==
When Shale's team is at the gun range, an unloaded Heckler & Koch USP is visible sitting on the table with the group's cache of weapons. The USP also appears to be used by one of the high school security guards working with Juan Lacas, and is also pulled briefly by Joey Six at the end of the movie.

==Smith & Wesson 5906== 
During the cocaine drop scene, Shale takes a Smith & Wesson 5906 from a henchman, which he unloads and then tosses away. The Smith & Wesson 5906 is also seen in Shale's group's stash of weapons at the gun range. It also appears that the Smith & Wesson 5906 was originally intended to be Shale's weapon in the film; at least one publicity photograph shows Shale brandishing the pistol in the final confrontation at the school. However, the 5906 was apparently replaced with the brand-new (at the time) Smith & Wesson Sigma 9F during filming.

==Uzi==
Both Shale and Rem (Luis Guzmán) are seen using full size Uzis fitted with Sionics suppressors during the final shootout at the school. Some of Janus' mercenaries also use them.
 
==MAC-10==
The rival mercenary John Janus and his team are seen using suppressed MAC-10's during the final shootout.
==Heckler & Koch HK94A3 (with MP5SD fake barrel shroud)==
Both Joey Six (Raymond Cruz) and Wellman (Richard Brooks) are seen using Heckler & Koch HK94A3s fitted with fake MP5SD suppressors (actually barrel shrouds) during the final shootout. Judging by the trigger group and the rate of fire, these are not even full-auto conversions of the HK94.
=Rifles=
==M16A1==
Shale is seen with an M16A1 fitted with a scope after the opening mission in Cuba. In his demo reel, John Janus is seen disarming several soldiers armed with M16A1 rifles. Wellman (Richard Brooks) has the rifle slung while on the shooting range.
== Colt CAR-15==
What appear to be Colt CAR-15 are seen on the table at the shootin range.

==M136 AT4==
Joey Six (Raymond Cruz) is seen using an M136 AT4 during the final shootout.
