Predators (2010)

Predators is the latest installment in the Predator movie franchise that began with 1987's Predator and continued with 1990's Predator 2. The 2010 sequel was produced by Robert Rodriguez and stars Adrien Brody as Royce, a mercenary who finds himself stranded on a strange planet along with seven other human 'predators'.


See the Discussion section for behind the scenes images from the film.


The following weapons were used in the film Predators:


AA-12

Royce (Adrien Brody) carries an AA-12 automatic 12 Gauge shotgun throughout the movie, it is fitted with a drum magazine loaded with Frag-12 rounds, and fitted with a Surefire M900 weaponlight foregrip. The custom camo job appears to be similar to the US Army's pixelized UCP pattern.

A more detailed shot that features the Surefire M900 weaponlight. At this angle, the "custom camo paint" on his AA-12 appears to be ACU CAMO Form carefully wrapped around the weapon. You can see how the form creates sharp angles and is also peeling a bit around the ejection port. Also, the form creases down a bit where the rounded edges should be on either side.

M134 Hand held Minigun

Nikolai (Oleg Taktarov), a member of the Spetsnaz Alpha Group carries a hand-held M134 Minigun substituting for a GShG-7.62, or a Slostin machine gun that is described in the script, reminiscent of the gun used by Jesse Ventura in the original film. When Nikolai first uses the Minigun a stoppage occurs. Nikolai is forced to fix the jam and reload the weapon. Nikolai later uses the Minigun to slay two Predator hounds and to lay down suppressing fire on Predators before the gun is destroyed in battle by a well aimed shot from a Predator Plasmacaster. During a lot of the firing scenes the barrels appear as if they are stationary. Likely the weapon had a fire rate very close to the film frame rate making the barrels appear to not rotate. During the non-firing scenes Taktarov carries a very obviously non-firing replica. The most obvious telltale sign is that there is no central shaft attaching the four barrel clamp discs on the non-firing prop.

Blaser R93 LRS2

Isabelle (Alice Braga), an IDF sniper, carries a Blaser R93 Sniper Rifle fitted with an Elcan DigitalHunter scope (substituting for the Heckler & Koch PSG1 described in the script). In several scenes, we hear the scope adjusting even though she isn't hitting any of the buttons. Note: this is due to an auto-focus feature on the scope, not an error in the movie. Isabelle uses this weapon to take down Predator hounds and uses it to wound a Predator near the film's finale. She also attempts to take down another hunted alien but after what appears to be a great shot at a fast moving target, she notes that she actually missed.

Heckler & Koch MP5K

Cuchillo (Danny Trejo), a Mexican Drug Cartel enforcer, is seen with two Heckler & Koch MP5K's fitted with braided leather covers on the foregrips strapped to his back, in a manner similar to Chuck Norris' Mini Uzi harness in Invasion U.S.A..

Custom Beretta 92FS Inox

A custom Beretta 92FS Inox with ivory grips is carried by Hanzo (Louis Changchien). The compensator was custom built by armorer Steve Karnes (AKA Phoenixent).The Yakuza assassin uses it until he acquires a katana from Noland's weapon cache.

M1911A1

When the group stumble upon a dead American soldier, he is grasping an empty M1911A1 with the slide locked back. Mombasa is later seen pulling it. When his MP5K's are empty, Cuchillo is seen pulling an engraved gold plated M1911A1. Royce is also seen with one, though it is kept holstered for the entirety of the movie, and therefore is unidentified.

M18A1 Claymore

When Nikolai (Oleg Taktarov) sees Noland's weapons cache, he eyes a M18A1 Claymore anti-personnel mine on the table. Nikolai apparently grabbed the Claymore mine offscreen, because he is seen using it prominently later.
