Watchmen (2009)

M79 grenade launcher

The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) uses an M79 grenade launcher to fire smoke rounds at people trying to vandalize the buildings with the phrase "Who watches the Watchmen?" in the rioting crowds. He even hits one rioter dead on with a smoke round during the "American Dream" scene. It is also seen in his closet when Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley) is checking out his apartment.

Flamethrower

The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) uses a Flamethrower to light his cigar with the pilot and then burn a Victor Charlie soldier while in Vietnam. He can also be seen posing with it in Movie Posters. It appears to be a fictional mockup not specifically based on any real flamethrowers, although it resembles an M2 Flamethrower in the graphic novel.

M1911A1

The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) uses his issued M1911A1 sidearm in the film to kill a pregnant Vietnamese woman (Nhi Do) when she slashes him with a broken bottle for leaving her and the baby behind behind. During the film's opening credits, a criminal armed with an M1911A1 is shown being foiled by a young Night Owl I (Clint Carleton). We also see a criminal try to draw a nickel plated 1911 fitted with ivory grips when attempting to kill Dr. Manhattan (Billy Crudup), but is blown up horrifically before he can fire off a shot.

A side shot of the M1911A1 as The Comedian guns down the Vietnamese women. The only non-standard implication on the handgun is the obvious square trigger guard, which may be a custom improvement. For some reason the rear-sights are not visible in this shot, possibly due to depth of field.

D&L Sports Professional Model Longslides

The Comedian's (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) sidearms right up to his murder are custom 1911-series D&L Sports Professional Model Longslides with ornate smiley-face grips to match the Comedian logo. They have "Nixon 1970" written on the grips, indicating they were a gift from Nixon for serving in the Vietnam war. At the beginning of the film, Comedian tries to bring up one of his 1911s (fitted with a sound suppressor) to combat the attacking assailant in his home but fires off one stray shot to no avail and is disarmed. For the most part, these guns are only seen in his holsters or in a presentation case any other time.

Zastava M70AB2

Vietnamese soldiers destroyed by Dr. Manhattan (Billy Crudup) wield folding stock Zastava M70AB2 rifles noted by their folding grenade launcher sights.

CAR-15

Seen in the hands of NYPD SWAT and US soldiers in Vietnam are CAR-15 carbines with slab-side receivers and full stocks (as opposed to the more traditional collapsing stock). Based on the fact the weapons actually have safe-semi-full selector switches, they could very well be GAU-5/A models, or at least very close copies.

A SWAT member flicks the selector switch on his CAR-15 to full-auto. This indicates the lower on this rifle is not from a civilian copy like most film-used CAR-15, and it may possibly indicate the lower is from a GAU-5/A or similar unit. The writing is inlaid with white paint, which isn't correct but likely done so it can be read in low-lighting conditions.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
A SWAT member unloads his CAR-15 on full-auto, and manages to miss Rorschach from less than ten feet away. A real SWAT officer would know to lead a running target, but doing such would have made this a much shorter movie.

Ruger AC556

SWAT members trying to apprehend Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley) in Moloch's (Matt Frewer) house are seen armed with Ruger AC556 rifles with folding stocks.

A Franchi PA3 is seen in the Comedian's (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) closet when Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley) investigates his home. In the original graphic novel, the only thing seen in the closet was his costume, a MAC-10, and a few knives. His 1911's were seen in his closet in the graphic novel.

Smith & Wesson Model 586

A Smith & Wesson Model 586 with a four inch barrel is used by Roy Chess to fire at Adrian Veidt (Matthew Goode) and shoot three employees (killing two) before Veidt hits him with a pole. In the novel the gun was a Beretta Cheetah modeled gun.

Smith & Wesson Model 36

When Daniel Dreiberg (Patrick Wilson) and Laurie Juspeczyk (Malin Akerman) fight off "Knot-Tops" in the alleyway, one of them draws a Smith & Wesson Model 36 and fires several shots at Laurie but only succeeds in shooting one of his comrades in the back and is dispatched by Dan.

An unknown .22 revolver is seen drawn by the man who murdered the little girl and he draws it when entering his house but it is disarmed by Rorschach.

Glock 17

Police standing behind Veidt as he attempts to stop Roy Chess from swallowing a poison capsule are armed with Glock 17 pistols, which were not in police service in 1985 (although commonly are today).

M1 Garand

During the opening sequence summing up the past, Hippies stick flowers into US Army Military Policemen's M1 Garand rifles before the MPs fire them on the hippies, flowers still in the muzzles. This is an homage to the famous photograph where a protestor places a flower in the barrel of an MP's M14 rifle. In reality, MPs in the U.S. did use M14 Rifles during this time period. National Guardsmen (as in the Kent State shooting in 1970) were armed with M1 Garands.

Rorschach's Grapple Gun

Specifically designed by Nite Owl II/Daniel Dreiberg (Patrick Wilson) for him, Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley) uses this grapple gun to enter Edward Blake's (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) apartment and later uses it as a weapon to break a SWAT member's collar bone.
