'''The following guns were used in the movie ''[[The Rock]]'''''
[[Image:TheRockcover.jpg|thumb|right|400px|''[[The Rock]] (1996)'']]

==M14==

A Marine at the funeral during the opening credits can be seen briefly holding an [[M14 Rifle|M14]] rifle.

[[Image:RockM14.jpg|thumb|none|500px|A Marine at the funeral with his M14 rifle.]]

== Beretta 92FS ==

The Recon Marines carry [[Beretta M92F|Beretta 92FS]] (military designation, M9) pistols as their sidearms, at least one of which is custom-fitted with wooden grips. Beretta M9s are the standard side arm for all the Navy SEALs including Stanley Goodspeed ([[Nicolas Cage]]), all with tactical flashlight attachments. Goodspeed points his at John Mason ([[Sean Connery]]), who swipes it out of his hand, but later gives it back to Goodspeed to defend himself with, and he uses it notably in the underground tunnels to kill one Marine, with little hesitation, as Mason notes.

[[Image:Rock92FS-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|One of Hummel's men pulls an M9 on some guards when they first take over the rock.]]
[[Image:Rock92FS-2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Goodspeed with an M9 pistol with a tactical flashlight.]]
[[Image:Rock92FS-3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Goodspeed reloads his M9.]]
[[Image:Rock92FS-5.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Cpt. Darrow aims his M9 at Hummel.]]

==Beretta 92SB==

One of the Marines, Captain Darrow ([[Tony Todd]]) is seen using an older 92SB (which has a rounded trigger guard, rather than squared, like on the 92FS/M9) with wood grips during the scene in which Hummel and his men use a hostage to draw Goodspeed and Mason out of hiding.

[[Image:92SB.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Beretta 92SB 9mm]]
[[Image:Rock92FS-4.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Cpt. Darrow holds his 92SB at Larry Henderson's head. You can see it has wooden grips but also a rounded trigger guard, unlike the 92FS/M9.]]

==Beretta 92 Centurion Inox==

During the hotel scene Goodspeed is given a Beretta 92 Centurion with an Inox finish by another FBI field agent after he arrives in San Francisco and tells Womack that he forgot his FBI-issue sidearm.

[[Image:Beretta92Centurion.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Beretta 92 Centurion 9mm]]
[[Image:Rock92FSINOX-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Goodspeed aims his 92 Centurion Inox at Mason when he throws Director Womack off the building, held only by a rope.]]
[[Image:Rock92FSINOX-2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Goodspeed chases after Mason armed with the Centurion.]]

== M16A2 ==

Marines at the funeral use real [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]] rifles for the 21 gun salute.
''It is a goof that they rack the bolts to fire them as funeral guns are usually real guns fitted with a blank firing adapter on the muzzle to allow enough gas pressure to cycle the bolt(as real guns have heavier bolt springs than blank guns. Blank guns need lighter springs to allow the gas pressure to cycle low pressure blank rounds.)''

[[Image:M16-a2-1-.jpg|thumb|400px|none|M16A2 5.56mm]]
[[Image:RockM16A2-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The Marines ready their M16A2s for the 21 gun salute.]]
[[Image:RockM16A2-2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|A Marine cycles a round into his M16A2. Note the bullet deflector and rounded forward assist.]]

==M16A1 (w/ M16A2 handguards)==

Many of the Marines under General Hummel ([[Ed Harris]]) are armed with [[M16 rifle series#M16A1 Rifle|M16A1]] assault rifles fitted with [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]] handguards. They are easily noticed as A1 models by the lack of a shell deflector, older forward assists, and fully-automatic firing modes. Some of them have tactical flashlights installed on the barrels.

[[Image:M16A1wA2Handguards.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M16A1 with A2 style handguards - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:RockM16A1-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Major Baxter ([[Tom Morse]]), standing next to Hummel, aims his M16A1 at the Navy SEALS.]]
[[Image:RockM16A1-2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Sgt. Crisp ([[Bokeem Woodbine]]) armed with an M16A1. Don't be fooled by the handguards into thinking that this is an M16A2; note the lack of a brass deflector, lack of an A2-style rear sight, and the older style forward assist.]]

== Colt Commando variants ==

[[M16 rifle series#Colt XM177/CAR-15/Commando Series|Colt CAR-15 Commando]] look-a-like rifles seen being used by many of the Marines. Mason and Goodspeed take two for themselves later in the film. The Commandos in the film all have 10" barrels and older-style flash suppressors, but also have various receiver styles. Some have A1 receivers, others have A2 receivers, and others have the forward assist and brass deflector but not the A2-style rear sight. Some have tactical flashlights on the barrels.

A notable goof is that the receivers of the guns held by individual characters change throughout the film (for instance, the Commando handed to Goodspeed by Mason clearly has an A2 receiver when he first gets it, but later, it has an A1 receiver).

[[Image:XM177E2-1-.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Colt Commando 5.56mm]]
[[Image:RockColtCommando-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|When going over Hummel's military file, he is seen armed with a Colt Commando in Vietnam.]]
[[Image:RockColtCommando-2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|A Marine aims his Colt Commando at Goodspeed. The large muzzle break is pretty obvious in this shot.]]
[[Image:RockColtCommando-3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Mason gives Goodspeed the Colt Commando after killing the Marine aiming it at him. This rifle has an M16A2-style upper receiver, though the lower receiver lacks the fencing on the magazine release, and may have been taken from a civilian AR15 variant.]]
[[Image:RockColtCommando-4.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Mason firing the Colt Commando.]]
[[Image:RockColtCommando-5.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Cpt. Frye returns fire on Mason. Note that the receiver of his gun has an A1-style rear sight, but it does have the brass deflector. The lower is also missing the fencing near the magazine release, so this again might be a civilian AR15 lower or a very early GAU-5/A lower.]]

== M203 Grenade Launcher ==

Some of the Marines have [[M203 grenade launcher]]s mounted on their M16s and CAR15s. Captain Darrow ([[Tony Todd]]), for instance, has an M203 on his M16A1 which is seen prominently during the scene where he confronts Goodspeed in the lighthouse.

[[Image:M203.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M203 grenade launcher 40mm]]
[[Image:M16wM203.jpg|thumb|none|500px|M16A1 5.56mm with [[M203 grenade launcher]] 40mm]]
[[Image:RockM16A1-M203.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Darrow aims his M16/M203 at the Navy SEALS.]]

==MAC-10==

Hummel can be seen holding a MAC-10 in a Vietnam service picture. This image is actually taken from one of [[Ed Harris]]' earlier film roles, the [[Charles Bronson]] vehicle ''[[Borderline]]''.

[[Image:IngramMAC10.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Ingram MAC-10 .45 ACP]]
[[Image:RockMAC-10.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Hummel in Vietnam with a MAC-10.]]

== Springfield Armory M1911A1 ==

The main villain of the film, General Frank Hummel ([[Ed Harris]]) carries a stainless [[M1911 pistol series|Springfield Armory M1911A1]] as his sidearm of choice throughout the film. It is seen being pulled out by Hummel, who then shoots Sergeant Crisp during the confrontation.

[[Image:Springfield Armory M1911A1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Springfield Armory M1911A1 .45 ACP.]]
[[Image:RockSpringfield1911.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Hummel holds his Springfield Armory M1911A1 to Mason.]]
[[Image:RockSpringfield1911-2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Hummel aims his Springfield Armory M1911A1 at Maj. Baxter when he refuses to hang up the phone.]]
[[Image:RockSpringfield1911-4.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Hummel holds his M1911A1 to Sgt. Crisp.]]
[[Image:RockSpringfield1911-3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Hummel shoots Crisp. Two goofs are present. The gun is clearly a harmless flashpaper gun as nothing cycles, and the squib is a bit too much to the right.]]

== Heckler & Koch MP5A3/A5 ==

[[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A3|Heckler & Koch MP5A3]] submachine guns are used by the Navy SEALs during the failed rescue mission of the prison. They have Surefire dedicated forend weaponlights. Mason wields an MP5A3 he commandeers from a dead SEAL, and uses it in the first half of the movie.

[[Image:MP5A3 StockCollapsed.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch MP5A3, 9x19mm]]
[[Image:RockMP5-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|SEAL commander Anderson with his MP5A3.]]
[[Image:RockMp5-2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The last SEAL to go up and get shot with his MP5A3.]]

A handful of the MP5s used by the SEALs also appear to have the 4-position trigger group (for safe, semi, 3-round burst, and full-auto) and smooth lower reciever, which makes them MP5A5s rather than A3s.

[[Image:hk_mp5n.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler and Koch MP5A5 9mm]]
[[Image:Rock-MP5A5-1.JPG|thumb|none|500px|A SEAL loads up his MP5 near Goodspeed. Note the trigger group (circled in red) has 4 positions, which makes the gun an MP5A5 - the A5 referring to a combination of collapsible stock and 4-position lower receiver).]]
[[Image:RockMp5-3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|A SEAL fires his MP5A5 at the Marines.]]

==Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW==

A [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW|Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW]] is used by at least one of the SEALs.

[[Image:MP5K-PDW.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW 9mm]]
[[Image:RockMP5K.jpg|thumb|none|500px|A SEAL reloads his MP5K-PDW in the shower room shoot-out.]]

==Remington 870==

A SEAL can be seen using a shortened tactical Remington 870 shotgun.

[[Image:Index.10-1-.jpg‎ |thumb|none|400px|Remington 870 12-gauge]]
[[Image:RockRem870-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|A SEAL aims his Remington 870 at the Marines above.]]
[[Image:RockRem870-2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The SEAL falls dead with his Remington 870 in hand.]]

== H&K SP89 ==

A [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch SP89|Heckler & Koch SP89]] by one of the SEALs during the failed attempt to save the hostages. It seems to be fitted with the collapsible stock of an MP5A3, and was evidently converted to full-auto.

[[Image:H&KSP89.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch SP89 Pistol with factory 15rd magazine - 9mm]]
[[Image:RockSP-89.jpg|thumb|none|500px|A SEAL with an H&K SP89 tries to climb up to shoot at the Marines, before being gunned down.]]

==DefTech Launcher==

What appears to be a Defense Technologies (DefTech) 37mm launcher is used by one of the Marines in the shower room, apparently as an HE grenade launcher. It would be useless to use as the rounds would not detonate in such close proximity and if they did, it would be dangerous to him and his fellow men.

[[Image:Federallabs37.jpg|thumb|none|400px|DefTech 37mm launcher]]
[[Image:RockGL.jpg|thumb|none|500px|A Marine with Deftech 37mm.]]

==M26 Handgrenade==

Cpt. Frye can be seen with two [[M26 hand grenade]]s which he throws at Mason in an attempt to kill him. Mason jumps into a bathtub to avoid the blasts.

[[Image:200px-M-67handgrenade.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M26 HE fragmentation hand grenade]]
[[Image:RockM26HG.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Frye pops off the primer handles of his M26 grenades.]]

==M60E3==

A Marine can be seen firing an [[M60 machine gun#M60E3 Machine Gun|M60E3 machine gun]] at Goodspeed when he disables the last rocket. Mason picks it up and knocks the shooter off the roof with it.

[[Image:USOM60E3.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M60E3 machine gun 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[Image:RockM60E3-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The barrel of the M60E3 before it fades to Goodspeed across the roof.]]
[[Image:RockM60E3-2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The muzzle of the M60E3 firing.]]
[[Image:RockM60E3-3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The Marine prepares to drop the empty M60E3.]]

==LAR Grizzly Big-Bore==

When the Marine's M60E3 is empty, he picks up a .50 BMG [[LAR Grizzly Big-Bore]] bolt-action rifle to shoot Goodspeed. He is knocked off the roof by Mason before he can use it, though.

[[Image:LAR Grizzly.jpg|thumb|none|400px|LAR Grizzly Big-Bore .50 BMG]]
[[Image:RockBarettM99-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|A Marine switches the safety off his LAR Grizzly.]]
[[Image:RockBarettM99-2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The Marine prepares to fire the Grizzly before being killed by Mason. It is a good thing he didn't fire the gun; without the muzzle break, it would have hurt like hell.]]

=="The Protector"==

When Goodspeed is messing around in his officer, he shoots a flip down target with a suction dart spring gun labeled "The Protector". It appears to be based off a Mossberg 500 "Cruiser" with barrel ribbing.

[[Image:RockTheProtector.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Goodspeed with "The Protector''. Is this the most pointless gun ever posted on the site? Probably.]]
