The Kingdom is a 2007 thriller directed by Peter Berg and stars Jamie Foxx as the head of an FBI forensics team that travels to Saudi Arabia to investigate the terrorist bombing of an American oil housing complex. The cast includes Chris Cooper, Jennifer Garner, and Jason Bateman.
The following weapons were used in the film The Kingdom:
The Beretta 92FS is the main sidearm of Colonel Faris Al-Ghazi (Ashraf Barhom). Also used by the terrorists disguised as Saudi police in the beginning of the film.
The Heckler & Koch USP is used by Sgt. Haythem (Ali Suliman) throughout the movie. A terrorist, standing in the middle of a crowd also uses one and is shot by Agent Sykes (Chris Cooper).
Heckler & Koch HK91A2 rifles are the main weapons of FBI Special Agents Ronald Fleury (Jamie Foxx) and Grant Sykes (Chris Cooper). The HK91s are converted to resemble the Heckler & Koch G3SG/1 and is therefore fitted with a folding bipod, and converted to full-auto. Fleury uses it mainly during the freeway attack. Sykes uses during the freeway attack as well as the gunbattle at the terrorists' neighbourhood.
M4A1 Carbines are carried by Saudi Police and National Guardsmen throughout the film. The disguised terrorists who attack the western housing compound use one to shoot up the contractors' houses. Colonel Faris Al-Ghazi (Ashraf Barhom) and Sergeant Haytham (Ali Suliman) also use M4A1 Carbines during the gunbattle at the terrorist's apartment. Interestingly, Haytham's carbine lacks a carrying handle or backup sights.
Several terrorists use AKMS rifles in the climactic gun battle. Fleury picks up one with a RAS and vertical grip, and AK74-style muzzle brake and uses it for the rest of the gun battle.
The main weapon of FBI Special Agent Janet Mayes (Jennifer Garner) is the Heckler & Koch MP5K. She uses it to dispatch several terrorists who kidnapped Adam Leavitt (Jason Bateman) during the apartment complex shootout. The MP5K is also used by the Prince's bodyguards, as well as Colonel Al-Ghazi (Ashraf Barhom) when he escorts the FBI team from the airport. Saudi Special Security Forces also carry these in their assault on the terrorist hideout. This is a standard MP5K fitted with a PDW stock.
Heckler & Koch MP5A2 Submachine Guns are seen used by Saudi Special Security Forces during their raid on a suspected terrorist hideout. MP5A2s are also seen in the hands of the Saudi police guarding the FBI team and one is seen used by a Saudi National Guardsmen as he guards the general. Also seen in the hands of terrorists posing as Saudi police officers in the freeway ambush.
Browning M2HBs are seen mounted on Saudi Humvees and an M1A2 Abrams tank, and one is used to stop a fistfight between Colonel Al-Ghazi and a Saudi National Guard commander.
Type 69 RPGs fitted with Russian PGO-7 scopes are used by terrorists during the climatic gun battle, destroying several civilian cars and part of an apartment building.
In addition to the Chinese Type 69 clone, there is at least one appearance of a genuine RPG-7 in the film; visible in the terrorist hideout leaning against a wall.
