The Thing (2011)

The Thing is a 2011 horror film that is the prequel to John Carpenter's 1982 classic horror film of the same name. The film stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Dr. Kate Loyd, who is invited to investigate a strange discovery in the Antarctica. The film co-star Joel Edgerton, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, and Ulrich Thomsen.


The following firearms can be seen in the film The Thing:



Walther P38

Peder (Stig Henrik Hoff) and Lars (Jørgen Langhelle) carry Walther P38 pistols as their sidearms in the film. Derek Jameson (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) gets a hold of Lars' Walther P38 at one point, and uses it from that point on.

Beretta 92FS

Sam Carter (Joel Edgerton) carries a Beretta 92FS as his sidearm in the film, and uses it after 'The Thing' escapes from the block of ice. This pistol is anachronistic, since the 92F/FS wasn't available in 1982, the time setting of the original film.

Carter fires the Beretta at The Thing. Throughout the scene, Joel Edgerton does an excellent job at keeping his eyes open while firing the gun.

Heckler & Koch HK33

Lars uses a Heckler & Koch HK33 rifle during the end, leading up to the events of the The Thing. You can see the lower receiver in the film, which confirms the rifle as the select fire version, unlike in the 1982 original (where a Heckler & Koch HK93 was used).
