The Expendables 2 is the 2012 sequel to 2010's The Expendables. The film was directed by Simon West (Con Air) and Sylvester Stallone returns as the leader of a team of mercenaries, who this time are tasked by the CIA to prevent a cache of plutonium from falling into the wrong hands. As in the original film, nearly all of the biggest names in action films from the past two decades make appearances in the sequel and in addition to expanded roles for Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme also appear in this film.
The following firearms were used in the film The Expendables 2:
Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) uses a pair of M1911A1 pistols as his sidearms in the film, likely the same Kimber Gold Combat II pistols that he wielded in the first film. In this film, the Kimbers' grips feature small "Expendable" eblems on both guns. The same symbol is also seen in Barney's toothpick knife.
Hale Ceasar (Terry Crews) carries a SIG-Sauer P226R as his sidearm in the film, and he most notably uses it during the shootout in the abandoned Soviet military base.
Jean Vilain (Jean-Claude Van Damme), leader of an Albanian criminal group known as the Sang, uses a Walther P99 with a gold-plated slide as his sidearm.
Several main characters, including Toll Road (Randy Couture), Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren), Maggie Chan (Nan Yu) and Mr. Church use Heckler & Koch UMP submachine guns. Various henchmen also use the UMP.
Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) and Ying Yang (Jet Li) can be seen using the Noveske Rifleworks Diplomat with a Vltor VIS-1 monolithic upper receiver assembly. Most of the main characters use the Diplomat when they are searching for the crash site of a Chinese jet. These rifles are most likely the same weapons that ISS (Independent Studio Services) acquired for The Expendables. Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren) wields a Noveske on several occasions.
Hale Ceasar (Terry Crews) is seen using an AA-12 shotgun fitted with a weaponlight and a drum magazine as he did for the finale of the first movie. He later gives the weapon to "Trench" Mauser (Arnold Schwarzenegger) who uses it for the first portion of the airport shootout before running out of ammo.
Hale Caesar and Gunnar Jansen use Milkor MGL Mk 1L grenade launchers in several scenes. When used by Caesar it seems to be loaded with buckshot rounds, as there is no explosion or damage beyond the damage to the person hit, unlike when used by Gunnar.
