Super 8 (2011)

Super 8 is a 2011 science fiction film written and directed by J.J. Abrams (Mission: Impossible III) and produced by Steven Spielberg. Set in the late 1970's, the film focuses on a group of kids who while making a homemade movie inadvertently film a massive train crash and discover that the contents on the train may not be from this world.


The following weapons were used in the film Super 8:


M16A1 Rifle

The M16A1 is seen in the hands of the US military personnel. Deputy Jackson Lamb (Kyle Chandler) takes one and uses it while escaping from the custody of the MPs.

M1911A1

Though he never draws it and it is seen only briefly, Deputy Sheriff Jackson Lamb seems to have a M1911A1 with linear housing or similar single-stack automatic pistol holstered on his belt, which is unusual for a cop in the seventies.
