Gamer (2009)

Gamer is a 2009 sci-fi/action film starring Gerard Butler as a former soldier turned convict who is forced to participate in a massive online shooter game where advanced mind-control technology enables real humans to be controlled by online players.

The following weapons were used in the movie Gamer:


Pistols

Beretta 92FS

A Beretta 92FS is used by Kable (Gerard Butler) under the control of the villain to assassinate a fellow soldier and be framed for murder.

Submachine Guns

FN-P90

The FN P90 submachine gun is the standard firearm for the prison guards guarding the "Slayers". Later in the movie a group of "Slayers" are seen armed with P90s with laser sights, when Castle sends them to kill Kable and his wife in Society City.

Rifles

Heckler & Koch G36C

Kable's standard weapon in Slayers is the G36C rifle. Like all the Slayers' weapons, the rifle has an electronic safety mechanism that renders the weapon useless when the game is not in progress. On some movie posters, the G36C with CM203 is outlined and identified as an "M4" even with a little line drawing of an M4 in a box (seen above).

Heckler & Koch G36K

Kable uses a G36K rifle fitted with a Beta-C magazine and a foregrip during his 28th game of 'Slayers'.

FN F2000

F2000 Tactical rifles are used by most of the "Slayers". This appears to be the "starter" weapon for all beginning- and lower-level Slayers. As they survive more battles, the Slayer's "Gamer" can purchase newer weapons and modifications. All of the weapons used by the "Slayers" have a safety mechanism attached on the front sights that renders the weapon useless when the game is not in progress.

Later in the movie, "Slayers" sent by Castle to kill Kable and his wife in Society City are armed with FN F2000 Tacticals; in place of the electronic safeties, these rifles have laser sights attached.

One of the "Slayers" sent to kill Kable in "Society" is seen with the standard FN F2000 Tacticals, but as you can see, instead of the safety mechanisms they are replaced with red laser dot attachments.

CIS SAR-21

A "Slayer" in one sequence appears to be using a CIS SAR-21 rifle.

Shotguns

Saiga 12

Hackman (Terry Crews) uses a modified Saiga-12 shotgun in a pistol-grip-only (PGO) form as his main weapon, before it is later taken by Kable when he decides to escape Slayers. The weapon has a 10-inch barrel with a muzzle attachment, serving as an adapter that allows the stock length gas system to cycle blanks. Above the gas tube is a standard rail similar to the UltiMAK, and a unknown sighting system, which in the film is revealed to be a safety device which allows or prevents the weapon from firing after a battle is over. The drum, a 20 round "Wraithmaker" is apparently filled with solid slugs. The forward grip appears stock.

During the 29th game of Slayers, Hackman aims the weapon at Kable and pulls the trigger, only for the electronic safety to re-engage. In defiance of all logic, the gun expends the unfired shell down the barrel to plop on Kable's head, as if emphasizing how close he came to dying (i.e., as if the safety interrupted the firing before the hammer hit the round, but still allowed the round to be ejected).

This is likely the same Saiga shotgun seen in The Expendables, again wielded by Terry Crews.
