==G36E?==

Wouldn't the G36 in the film be a normal G36 and not the G36E seeing as the G36's used in the film have the Dual sights and not just the lower sight.

:Well, the carry handle with the dual sights can be purchased and put on a G36E if need be. My understanding is that the only difference between a regular G36 and the 'E' models is that Bundeswehr get the dual sights for free, whereas other customers would have to pay extra for it.

:That being said, I have this movie on DVD, and the receiver of the gun shown in a close-up at the beginning clearly just says, "G36". I think Kurt Wimmer says on the DVD commentary that the German government loaned weapons to the production (which is why you see so many G36s, MP5s, Walther MPKs, H&K G3s, etc. - all weapons that German military and police use).

-ahhh I see ,thanks for clearing that up. Still may be normal G36 since you said the German Gov't loaned them weapons.

:Don't quote me on that because I might be wrong and I might have mis-interpreted the DVD commentary. But the fact that the receiver of one of the movie guns just says "G36" (instead of "G36E") is suspicious because I'm pretty sure all "E" guns are marked as such.

==the AK47==

the picture of the ak47 looks more like an AKM to me. The size of the front site and the size of the gas block are what made me think. I don't want to make any changes without asking anybody else first though

== Yup, AKM. ==

Wow, nice catch there - that front sight is an AKM's. [[User:Bunni|bunni]] 20:50, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

== M16A2 to Beretta AR70 ==

I think the guy who wrote about the M16 to the AR70 is mistaken. If you watch closely, Preston fights the first Sweeper and takes his M16 before dumping it and going to the next guy who was clearly holding an AR70. He then smacks the gun and it turns his way. There is no continuity error there.

Gunfreak08: /* Unknown Handgun */

'''The following guns were used in the movie ''[[Equilibrium]]'''''
[[Image:Equilibrium.jpg|thumb|right|225px|''[[Equilibrium]]'' (2002)]]

== Beretta 92FS (modified)==

Heavily modified [[Beretta M92F|Beretta 92FS]] pistols are used by John Preston ([[Christian Bale]]), Brandt ([[Taye Diggs]]), DuPont ([[Angus Macfadyen]]), Errol Partridge ([[Sean Bean]]), and the rest of the Grammaton Clerics throughout the film. The versions used in the movie were converted to automatic with a drop-in auto sear (DIAS) and given longer barrels and modified slides. The non-firing versions also had a selector switch on the side (which does not appear on the firing or "practical" weapons).

The weapons are definitely the 92FS and NOT, contrary to popular belief, the [[Beretta M93R]]. The M93R is based on the older model 92-series pistols and still has the frame-mounted safety (whereas the weapons in this movie clearly have the slide-mounted safety) and a folding grip attached to the trigger guard (missing from the weapons in the movie). Although the 92FS is not normally a fully-automatic firearm, conversions are possible with DIAS units and have been done for many Hollywood movies (including ''[[Judge Dredd]]'' and ''[[Underworld]]'').

== Heckler & Koch G36 and G36K ==

The [[H&K G36|Heckler & Koch G36]] is used by many Sweepers throughout the movie, and by Brandt ([[Taye Diggs]]) during one of the raids. Preston ([[Christian Bale]]) also briefly uses a G36 to kill several guards at the end. The shorter [[H&K G36#Heckler & Koch G36K|Heckler & Koch G36K]] is also used by some of the Sweepers.

== Heckler & Koch MP5A3 ==

[[H&K MP5|Heckler & Koch MP5A3]]s are used by some of the sweepers in the movie.

[[Image:H&KMP5A3slimforearm.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch MP5A3, 9x19mm]]

[[Image:Vlcsnap51289kl4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Heckler & Koch MP5A3s being used by Sweepers.]]

== Heckler & Koch MP5K ==

A [[H&K MP5|Heckler & Koch MP5K]] is used by a Sweeper on a motorcycle in one scene.

[[Image:MP5KA3.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Heckler & Koch MP5KA4 9x19mm with 15-round magazine]]
[[Image:Vlcsnap51069ow9.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch MP5K being fired by a Sweeper in a warehouse.]]

== Walther WA 2000 ==

The [[Walther WA 2000]] is used by a heavily armored Sweeper during one of the raids. Although the weapon is a semi-automatic sniper rifle, it is wielded as though it were a shotgun; the scope and bipod have been removed, and the actor playing the Sweeper pretends to rake a non-existent pump action under the barrel (accompanied by the sound of a shotgun being cocked). This Version of the WA 2000 is a airsoft replica. You can tell because there is no Walther logo next to the WA 2000 logo.

[[Image:Walther.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Walther WA 2000 being used by a Sweeper]]

== AKM ==

The [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]] is used by one of the resistance members.

[[Image:AKMRifle.jpg|thumb|none|400px|AKM, Stamped Steel Receiver w/ slant muzzle brake 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:Article-Firearms3.jpg|thumb|600px|none|[[AK-47#AKM|AKM]] being carried by a resistance member]]

== IMI Micro Uzi ==

The [[Uzi#Micro Uzi|IMI Micro Uzi]] is used by some resistance members.

[[Image:Article-Firearms4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Resistance members using a IMI Micro Uzi and a Skorpion Vz.61]]

== Skorpion SA Vz.61 ==

The [[Skorpion SA|Skorpion SA Vz.61]] is used by some of the resistance members.

[[Image:Article-Firearms4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Resistance members using a IMI Micro Uzi and a Skorpion Vz.61]]

== Remington 870 ==

A [[Remington 870]] with no stock and an Aimpoint is used by the resistance leader Seamus ([[Dominic Purcell]]). Some of the Police are also using Remington 870s fitted with flashlights and forward grips. During an altercation with several Sweepers, Preston ([[Christian Bale]]) gets a hold of two 870s and uses them to kill their owners.

[[Image:Article-Firearms9.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sweeper pointing a Remington 870 at Preston.]]

== M16A2 ==

An [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]] is briefly seen in the hands of a Sweeper whom Preston ([[Christian Bale]]) attacks when his wife is arrested, but it changes to a Beretta AR-70 immediately afterwards - this is an obvious continuity error. The same continuity error occurs again in the warehouse when Preston is pistol-whipping a group of Sweepers - they use AR-70s, but in some shots, they all clearly have M16A2s instead.

[[Image:ColtGovtModHBAR.jpg|thumb|none|500px|M16A2 5.56x45mm NATO]]

== Beretta AR-70/223 ==

[[Beretta AR-70/223]]s are used by many of the Sweepers throughout the film.

[[Image:Article-Firearms7.jpg‎|thumb|600px|none|Sweepers holding Beretta AR-70/223s]]

== Walther MPK ==

The [[Walther MP series#Walther MPK|Walther MPK]] submachine gun is used by many Sweepers in the film.

[[Image:WaltherMPK-2.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Walther MPK 9mm]]
[[Image:Article-Firearms10.jpg‎|thumb|600px|none|Police officer with a Walther MPK.]]

== FN P90 ==

[[FN P90]]s are used by the Sweepers in white suits; these particular weapons are clearly rubber props, as evidenced by the fact that even the magazines (which are transparent on a real P90) are solid black. Kurt Wimmer mentions on the DVD commentary that originally, all of the Sweepers were supposed to use the P90, but the Belgian government did not supply the real live-fire P90s it had promised to the production, only rubber training versions. Most of the weapons used by the Sweepers are, therefore, guns that were loaned by the German government (including the H&K G36s, H&K MP5s, and Walther MPKs).

[[Image:Article-Firearms13.jpg|thumb|none|600px|White suit Sweeper with an FN P90.]]

== Glock 17 ==

All of the Sweepers and police in the movie use [[Glock#Glock 17|Glock 17]] pistols as their sidearms. Mary O'Brien ([[Emily Watson]]) manages to grab one of these pistols from a Sweeper and tries to kill Preston with it before the Sweeper retains control of his weapon.

[[Image:Glock17EarlyModel.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Glock 17, 9x19mm]]
[[Image:Article-Firearms6.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mary O'Brien ([[Emily Watson]]) holding a Glock 17.]]

== IMI Uzi ==

The full sized version can be seen being wielded by a resistance member in the ending when the resistance rise up and overrun the Librian Government buildings.

== Unknown Handgun ==

An unknown handgun possible a Makarov or Walther PP is put to the back of Preston's head by a sense offender in one of the raids in the nethers.

Was it a handgun? I thought I saw a small revolver.

[[Category:Video Game]]

== SCAR ==
Although called the SCAR in-game, the weapon used by Marines and the player is actually a [[Heckler & Koch XM8]]. The assault rifle can be customised in-game. You can attach either a reflex sight, assault scope or a sniper scope for sights. You can also attach either a light or rifle Laser Aiming Module for targeting purposes. Another nifty feature is the ability to attach either a tranquiliser launcher or a grenade launcher. Finally, you can attach a flash and sound suppressor to the weapon.

[[Image:XM8.JPG]]

== FY-71 ==
The FY-71 is the main weapon for the North Korean soldiers in-game. It is actually based on the [[AK-74]]M. Like the SCAR, it features the ability to be customised. For scopes and sights, you can either attach a Reflex Sight, an Assault Scope or a Sniper Scope. For lights and lasers, you can attach a rifle flashlight or a Laser Aiming Module. In addition to that, you can attach a grenade launcher or tranquiliser attachment. Then, there is the silencer. One very useful thing about the FY-71 is that you can choose between normal ammo or inciendary ammo, once you get it.

[[Image:AK-74 NTW 12 92.jpg]]

== MPX8 ==
The MPX8 is the main weapon for North Korean forest patrols. It closely resembles an MP7A1 albeit somewhat longer. The MPX8 can also be seen in the hands of some North Korean nanosuit soldiers. The MPX8 is similar to the other weapons in the feature that it can be customised. You can attach all the attachments on the rifles except for the launchers. It also sports full auto and semi-auto fire.

== DSG1 ==
As the name implies, it's based on the DSR-1.

== SOCOM ==
Modeled on the H&K USP
