The guard in the armored van that transports Mystique (Rebecca Romijn), Multiple Man (Eric Dane), and Juggernaut (Vinnie Jones) uses a pistol that fires "Cure" darts to try and shoot Magneto (Ian McKellen) but ends up shooting Mystique when she jumps in the way. The pistol is fitted with a lime-green laser.
The U.S. soldiers prepare against Magneto (Ian McKellen) by swapping their metal weapons for plastic cure rifles instead. They are seen in the hands of the soldiers guarding the mutants accepting the "cure" and all the soldiers at Alcatraz are seen using these weapons.

"Cure" Launcher
Some of the U.S. soldiers defending against the Brotherhood on Alcatraz island use shoulder fired launchers that launch exploding projectiles, releasing cure darts in volleys.
U.S. soldiers on Alcatraz use a three barreled cannon to fire large "Cure"-releasing disks at Magneto (Ian McKellen) and his troops on the Golden Gate bridge, but he lifts up parts of the bridge to deflect the darts.
Although in the film, All the US soldiers are asked to turn in all metal, guns and dogtags. But intrestingly enough, they still have metal in their helmets and boot eyeholes.
