The Expendables 3 is the third installment in The Expendables film trilogy, which began with 2010's The Expendables and continued with 2012's The Expendables 2. The 2014 sequel was directed by Patrick Hughes and Sylvester Stallone returns as the leader of his team of mercenaries, who this time is forced to confront the co-founder of The Expendables, an arms dealer named Conrad Stonebanks (Mel Gibson). In the third film, several more action film icons in addition to Mel Gibson make their Expendables debut including Harrison Ford, Wesley Snipes, Robert Davi and Antonio Banderas.
The following weapons were used in the film The Expendables 3:
Barney Ross uses a pair of Kimber Gold Combat II pistols as his sidearms in the film, the same Kimber Gold Combat II pistols that he wielded in the first film. In this film, the Kimbers' grips feature small "Expendable" emblems on both guns. The same symbol is also seen in Barney's toothpick knife.
Yin Yang (Jet Li) is seen dual-wielding Springfield Armory XD9 tactical handguns while clearing out the rooftops with Trench (Arnold Schwarzenegger). This footage is only available in the Blu-Ray unrated cut.
Krug (Ivan Kostadinov) can be seen with a USP Match holstered throughout the film. He notably pulls it during the ambush in Bucharest while protecting Stonebanks (Mel Gibson).
Doc (Wesley Snipes) is seen with an MP5KA1 during the finale of the movie. Thorn (Glenn Powell) is seen using an MP5KA1 with a PDW stock (it is not the MP5K PDW as it lacks the characteristic 3-lugged extended barrel).
Yin Yang (Jet Li) is seen with an MP5A3 when he and Trench (Arnold Schwarzenegger) are clearing the roof. Mars (Victor Ortiz) is also briefly seen with one when leaving the building. It has an EOTech sight.
Multiple AK-47 variants are featured, utilized by Stonebanks' henchmen. They have been occasionally commandeered by Galgo (Antonio Banderas) and Luna (Ronda Rousey) during the finale.
"Trench" Mauser (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is seen using an AA-12 shotgun fitted with a weaponlight and a drum magazine as he did for the climax of the second movie.
Mars (Victor Ortiz) is seen with a Mossberg 590 during the finale. It has a heat shield, extended magazine tube, SpeedFeed stock, and two shell carriers.
A mockup of a hand held M134 Minigun is seen used by Hale Caesar (Terry Crews). In several promotional images, he is seen wielding an actual minigun. It is notable that in this film the characters talk explicitly about the ammunition reserves only lasting ten seconds, which is clear once Caesar fires the weapon. This is much closer to being realistic than other films that depict a Minigun being fired with ammunition stored in a backpack.
Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren) briefly carries the Milkor MGL Mk 1L, as previously seen in The Expendables 2, during the finale. It is also uses by one of Stonebanks's men to fire on the team's truck upon their escape from Bucharest.
The Heckler & Koch XM25 is being demonstrated by Mars (Victor Ortiz). Upon closer inspection, the weapon appears to be a mockup constructed around an L85A1.
Several members of the team use hand grenades during the finale, notably Lee Christmas (Jason Statham). The training versions of both the Mk 2 hand grenade and the M67 hand grenade are seen.
