Equilibrium is a 2002 action movie directed by Kurt Wimmer. The movie is set in a dystopian future where the all-powerful government has banned the "source of all man's inhumanity to man," the ability to feel emotion, and regulates this using the powerful drug Prozium (as a point of trivia, it was originally the real-life anxiety medication Librium, hence the film's title, but the manufacturer understandably objected). John Preston (Christian Bale) is the most experienced member of the government's premiere law enforcement group, the Tetragrammaton Clerics (named for the four-letter Hebrew name of the Judeo-Christian God, YHWH), who use a series of firearm-based martial arts drills known as the Gun Katas to deal with "sense offenders." However, when his latest target turns out to be another Cleric, Errol Partridge (Sean Bean), Preston finds himself starting to question his values.


The following weapons were used in the film Main Page:


Handguns

Beretta 92FS (modified)

Heavily modified Beretta 92FS pistols are used by John Preston (Christian Bale), Andrew Brandt (Taye Diggs), DuPont (Angus Macfadyen), Errol Partridge (Sean Bean), and the rest of the Grammaton Clerics throughout the film. The versions used in the movie were converted to automatic with a drop-in auto sear (DIAS) and given longer barrels and modified slides. The non-firing versions also had a selector switch on the side (which does not appear on the firing or "practical" weapons). The weapons are definitely the 92FS and NOT, contrary to popular belief, the Beretta 93R. The 93R is based on the older model 92-series pistols and still has the frame-mounted safety (whereas the weapons in this movie clearly have the slide-mounted safety) and a folding grip attached to the trigger guard (missing from the weapons in the movie). Although the 92FS is not normally a fully-automatic firearm, conversions are possible with DIAS units and have been done for many Hollywood movies (including Judge Dredd and Underworld).

Glock 17

Most Armored Sweepers and police in the movie use Glock 17 pistols as their sidearms. Mary O'Brien (Emily Watson) manages to grab one of these pistols from a Sweeper and tries to kill Preston with it before the Sweeper regains control of his weapon.

FN P90

FN P90s are used by the Sweepers in white suits; these particular weapons are clearly rubber props, as evidenced by the fact that even the magazines (which are transparent on a real P90) are solid black. Kurt Wimmer mentions on the DVD commentary that originally, all of the Sweepers were supposed to use the P90, but the Belgian government did not supply the real live-fire P90s it had promised to the production, only rubber training versions. Most of the weapons used by the Sweepers are, therefore, guns that were loaned by the German government (including the H&K G36s, H&K MP5s, and Walther MPKs).

This can be an understandable firearm for the resistance to have as it is relatively simple and was made by hand by resistance groups in WW II. Note that the men are holding the Sten by the magazine which would damage the feeding lip causing the gun to missfire and damage the magazine.

Rifles

Walther WA 2000

The Walther WA 2000 is used by a heavily armored Sweeper during one of the raids. Although the weapon is a semi-automatic sniper rifle, it is wielded as though it were a shotgun; the scope and bipod have been removed, and the actor playing the Sweeper pretends to rack a non-existent pump action under the barrel (accompanied by the sound of a shotgun being cocked). The WA 2000 in this movie is also a replica of some sort. It doesn't carry any trademarks at all.

M16A2

An M16A2 is briefly seen in the hands of a Sweeper whom Preston (Christian Bale) attacks when his wife is arrested which he drops immediately before snatching an AR-70 from another sweeper, commonly attributed as a continuity error though it is simply seen as one since the maneuver is so fast. When Preston is in the Warehouse raid whipping a group of Sweepers - they use AR-70s, but in some shots, they all clearly have M16A2s instead.

Black Hawk Down is the 2001 feature film adaptation of the non-fiction Mark Bowden book that recounted the events surrounding the ill-fated US mission to capture a Somali warlord in 1993. Directed by Ridley Scott, the film was notable for its depiction of modern US warfare. The film received support from the US Department of Defense, who provided extensive training for the actors with members of the US Army Ranger and other Special Forces soldiers to ensure authenticity in addition to allowing access to actual Black Hawk and "Little Bird" helicopters for filming. During the film's production, many of the soldiers and pilots seen were active duty, some of whom were veterans of the actual battle. The film's cast included Josh Hartnett, Eric Bana, William Fichtner, Ewan McGregor and Sam Shepard as well as Tom Hardy and Ioan Gruffudd in early roles.


The following weapons were used in the film Main Page:


Error creating thumbnail: File missing WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!


Rifles / Carbines

Colt Model 727

Majority of the U.S. Army Delta Force operators carry the Colt Model 727 as their primary weapon, fitted with various accessories such as the Aimpoint CompM2 red dot scopes and SureFire 660 flashlights, with some of the carbines also having desert tan camouflage paint schemes, painting mostly the handguards and buttstocks only and some without paint, flashlights and/or optics. Delta Staff Sergeant Daniel Busch (Richard Tyson), Sergeant First Class Norm "Hoot" Gibson (Eric Bana), Master Sergeant Chris Wex (Kim Coates), and SFC Jeff Sanderson (William Fichtner) all carry the Colt Model 727 carbines.

In real life, the older Colt Model 653 and Colt Model 723 would have been the carbines used by the Delta operators during Operation Gothic Serpent. The Colt Model 727 would have been more common amongst the Rangers and not Delta. In the film, the Colt Model 727 is likely standing in primarily for the Colt Model 723 for Delta Force while the Model 733 stands in for the Model 727 for the Rangers. Most of the carbines in film are also anachronistically equipped with Aimpoint CompM2 reflex red dot sights (which was not available commercially until 17 March 1995, and later standardized into the SOPMOD kit in 2000) on rails mounted on the fixed carrying handle rear sight. During Operation Gothic Serpent, some Delta operators and Rangers utilized the then commercial Aimpoint brand optics such as the Aimpoint 2000, 3000 and 5000 reflex sights (which due to these optics being discontinued and very rare to acquire in bulk load for the movie would explain the extensive usage of the CompM2 scopes, standing in for the older Aimpoint scopes during filming). Photographs of the events leading up to Operation Gothic Serpent, as well as research by enthusiasts, have confirmed that in fact Delta used Colt Model 653s and 723s during the operation, some of which the carbines also had other attachments that Delta were free to customise extensively, such as 100mph tape wrapped on the bottom of STANAG magazines for easier grasping (sometimes accompanied with bungee cord to pull the magazines out easily), double magazines clamped together (either using a metal H clamp or simply modified with tape and cardboard), Packer Redi-Mag double magazine devices, rubber bands to hold a flashbang grenade on the magazine and also the CAR stock in a certain position (provide also the stock and buffer tube were modified as older stocks only had two positions and weren't adjustable to fit users specifically at the time), M203 grenade launchers and at least one Remington 870 masterkey shotgun.

Colt Model 733

Various U.S. Delta Force operators and some Army Rangers are armed with the short-barreled Colt Model 733 with A2 rear adjustable carrying handle sights and heavy barrels. Some are standard 733s, while others are customized with camouflage paint schemes and Aimpoint scopes (similar to the aforementioned Model 727s). Some of the weapons have a XM177-style flash-hider instead of the standard barrel with A2 flash-hider. One particular Model 733 used by Delta Master Sergeant Gary Gordon (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and later Chief Warrant Officer 3 Mike Durant (Ron Eldard) is heavily modified with a camouflage paint scheme, anachronistic Aimpoint CompM2 red-dot scope on a rail mounted on the carrying handle rear sight, weaponlight taped on the left side of the handguard and a sound suppressor. The usage of the Colt 733 by the Rangers may likely be filling in the role of the Colt M727 that is already carried by the majority of the Delta operatives in film, although in real life those particular carbine models would have been utilised by some of the Rangers alongside the M16A2.

In history, Gordon's carbine was actually a camouflage painted Colt Model 723 (like all other Deltas were using at the time) with either a Aimpoint 3000 or 5000 and an OPSINC suppressor sleeved over the barrel.

Colt M4 Carbine

For several of the sequences that involved stuntwork, a number of non-firing rubber prop M4 Carbines are seen in the hands of the Delta operators. They are recognizable by the knobs on the carry handles which indicate that the carry handles are detachable, which is the distinguishing visual feature of the M4. The use of these weapons - even in rubber prop form - is anachronistic as the M4 Carbine was not adopted by the U.S. military (not even U.S. SOCOM) until 1994, a year after the events of the film took place. The usage of these rubber prop M4s is likely to substitute some of the M727 carbines that lack Aimpoint optics in some scenes to blend in.

NOTE: While prototype models of the M4 existed at the time of Operation Gothic Serpent, and conceivably might have been available to Delta, all prototype models of the M4 used fixed carry handle upper receiver assemblies. Further, when the M4 entered service in 1994, the initial standard was the Colt Model 777, which had a fixed carry handle. The flattop receiver Colt Model 920 and Model 921 - two Colt carbines which eventually became standardized as the M4 and M4A1, respectively - neither existed nor entered service until late 1994 to early 1995, after the initial purchase of Model 777s.

The selector switch appears to be molded into the receiver, making it likely this is actually a rubber stunt prop. (The book states Hoot had just cleared the chamber and pulled the trigger before inserting the magazine, making it unable to engage the safety due to the hammer being down.)

U.S. Army Rangers, including Staff Sergeant Matt Eversmann (Josh Hartnett), Sergeant Mike Goodale (Carmine Giovinazzo), Sergeant Ed Yurek (Tom Guiry), Sergeant Joyce (Chris Beetem) and Private First Class Todd Blackburn (Orlando Bloom) are armed with M16A2 Rifles. While defending the second Black Hawk crash site, Delta Sergeant First Class Randy Shughart (Johnny Strong) briefly uses a M16A2 rifle before switching back to his M14. During the scene when CPT Steele (Jason Isaacs) tells SSG Eversmann that they have to secure the perimeter for the SAR chopper, a Ranger lying prone in the background appears to be working the forward assist on his M16A2. Specialist John Grimes (Ewan McGregor) and Corporal James "Jamie" Smith (Charlie Hofheimer) both carry M16A2 rifles with M203 grenade launchers on heatshield handguards while some other Rangers, notably Sergeant Lorenzo Ruiz (Enrique Murciano) have the Cobray CM203 37mm Flare Launchers that is standing in for the M203.

It should be noted that Rangers weren't just issued with only the M16A2 during Operation Gothic Serpent - they also used the Colt Model 727, which was then sold commercially by Colt as the "M16A2 Carbine". Despite the film's portrayal of Delta Force using the M727, it is inaccurate as in reality they used Colt Model 653 and Colt Model 723 carbines; the Rangers would have used the M727 in selected roles such as NCOs, COs, or in the case of the film, radiomen and possibly medics.

Sergeant Ed Yurek (Tom Guiry) fires his M16A2 in three round bursts twice during the "Mogadishu mile". Yurek is probably the only Ranger in the film to fire in bursts from his M16A2, which Rangers are usually trained not to fire in bursts unless "they have a damn good reason", as quoted by several Drill Sergeants. However this instance may certainly qualify as a "damn good reason".

M14

An M14 rifle is used by Delta Force Sergeant First Class Randy Shughart (Johnny Strong), most notably when he and Master Sergeant Gary Gordon (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) are defending the second crash site. His M14 has a camouflage paint scheme and an anachronistic Aimpoint CompM2/M68 reflex sight that is likely standing in for the Aimpoint 3000 that the real Shughart utilised on his rifle.

Heckler & Koch G3A3

The local militia arm themselves with Heckler & Koch G3 rifles among many weapons. Both older variants and newer G3A3 variants are seen in the film. The older variants were previously ID'd as CETME Rifles, which is incorrect - The furniture, magazines, trigger housings and receivers are incorrect for CETMEs. The fixed rear sights, while generally associated with CETMEs, were also used on older-spec G3 rifles. The distinctive (and more commonly seen) H&K adjustable spindle/drum rear sight was only first introduced with the G3A3.

At one point, one of US soldiers can be seen removing the magazine from a discarded Type 56-1 and stuffing it in his empty pouch.

Several Rangers can be seen carrying FN Minimis throughout the film, standing in for the M249E1 SAW. It is also used by Specialist Lance Twombly (Tom Hardy) to accidentally deafen Nelson (Ewen Bremner) when he fires it too close to Nelson's head. The Minimis are also fitted with circular 200-round cloth ammo bags instead of hard plastic drums. At one point, a Somali shoots at Twombly and hits one of his ammo drums causing the ammo to cook off and burn him, though he's able to get rid of it before he's seriously harmed.

The Black Hawk and Little Bird helicopters were provided for the film by the US Army's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, and the weapons mounted are the actual armaments.

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

Chief Warrant Officer 3 Michael "Mike" Durant (Ron Eldard), the MH-60 Black Hawk pilot of Super Six-Four, is armed with a Heckler & Koch MP5A3 with a "slimline" handguard and uses it to defend himself after he's shot down. Another MP5A3 is also picked up and used by SFC Randy Shughart (Johnny Strong) before being killed by the overwhelming militia. The MP5 was briefly issued to helicopter crews as a personal defense weapon (PDW), but was discontinued in this role when it was determined its 9x19mm ammo lacked sufficient stopping power against armor-wearing or drug-crazed enemies, as was the case in Somalia. In the book and real life, the weapons were actually MP5Ks. They were referred to as "Skinny Popper", a reference to the men's nickname for the Somalis.

Shotguns

Remington 870

While never used on screen, SFC Sanderson (William Fichtner) can be seen carrying a customized Remington 870 Express Magnum (standing in for an 870 Police Magnum) slung over his right shoulder. A pistol grip (minus the folding stock) is used in place of the full stock. This same setup is used on a short 870 by Charlie Sheen in the film Navy SEALs. In a deleted scene, SFC Sanderson uses the shotgun to blow the hinges on a door inside the target building. The tail end of this shot is still in the finished film, although if you haven't seen the deleted scene before it would be hard to spot. In the book, at least one of the Delta operators has an 870 Masterkey attached to his CAR-15.

Handguns

Colt M1911A1

The Colt M1911A1 pistol is used by the Delta operators as their sidearm of choice. Delta Force Master Sergeant Wex (Kim Coates) can be seen with an M1911A1 at the firing range near the beginning of the film. The M1911A1 is most notably seen in the hands of Master Sergeant Gordon and Sergeant First Class Shughart as the two Delta snipers attempt to secure the second crash site and are forced to draw their sidearms as the both their primary weapons run dry before the overwhelming Somalis close in on them. Some of the Delta's 1911s also have ambidextrous thumb safety, notably when SFC Sanderson (William Fichtner) draws his to fire near the end of the film.

Mainly it is seen in the hands of Maddox (Michael Roof) in the Humvee. McKnight himself carries his 92FS around as a proper means to defend himself.

Launchers

RPG-7

The Russian-manufactured RPG-7 launcher appears as the weapon which brings down a pair of MH-60 Black Hawk helicopters. In one scene inspired by an actual event, a projectile from an RPG-7 strikes PVT Kowalewski (Brendan Sexton III), the driver of one of the M35 'deuce and a half' trucks in the convoy commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Danny McKnight (Tom Sizemore). The warhead fails to detonate, impaling the luckless soldier instead. At least one of the RPG-7s used in the film was a rare live and registered example owned by Movie Gun Services.

A group of Deltas led by Hoot soon kill the gunners and then turn the SPG-9 against the militia, killing several with one shot. It's later destroyed by Hoot's team before they join Eversmann's team.

Michael Bay returns as director and the film finds Miami detectives Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) battling Haitian and Cuban drug runners. The film's cast includes Joe Pantoliano and Gabrielle Union, who portrays DEA Agent Syd Burnett, a character who would receive her own series in L.A.'s Finest, which premiered in May of 2019. The duo would return in 2020's Bad Boys for Life.


The following weapons were used in the film Main Page:


Pistols

Glock 17

Detective Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) dual-wields 2nd and 3rd generation Glock 17s as his standard weapons, both with chrome slides. Syd (Gabrielle Union) later takes one of these pistols during the mission to rescue her in Cuba to defend herself as they're making their escape. Detective Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) engages Johnny Tapia (Jordi Mollà) with a Glock 17 near the Gitmo base, but it's not explained where this pistol comes from. Miami police officers are seen using standard models during the shootout with the Haitians.

Beretta 92FS Inox

Beretta 92FS Inox pistols are used throughout the film. Curiously, they appear in the hands of different users at different points throughout the film; first in the hands of Haitian gang members when Lowrey and Burnett raid their hideout, then again by one of Tapia's cronies with one when fighting with Lowrey on board the monorail train following the coroner truck chase. The one used by the gangster on the train is a "Non Gun" Beretta Inox replica.

Colt Anaconda

When Roberto is telling Tapia about the freeway chase, Tapia can be seen using a Colt Anaconda to shoot rats infesting his Miami home.

SIG-Sauer P226

Detective Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) carries a SIG-Sauer P226 pistol as his standard sidearm. Like Lowrey's Glocks, Burnett's pistol is also black with a silver slide - his weapon does not appear to be the factory two-tone P226 (which features nickel-plated controls as well as slide); rather, it appears to have been made by placing the slide/barrel from a factory all-nickel P226 onto a regular black P226 frame.

Tapia's right-hand man Carlos can also be seen wielding an all-black P226 during the standoff at Guantanamo Bay near the end of the film.

SIG-Sauer P232

The main villain of the film, Johnny Tapia keeps a SIG-Sauer P232 in his bedroom in his Miami home. The SIG is first seen when a pair of prostitutes play around with the handgun and accidentally fire it, shattering a vase, much to Tapia's annoyance. He is also seen putting the pistol to the head of Roberto (Jon Seda). Later, he is seen using it during the raid on his Miami home which leads to Syd being taken hostage.

Smith & Wesson Model 39

In addition to his dual Taurus pistols, Alexei is also seen with dual Smith & Wesson Model 39 pistols, kept in crossdraw shoulder holsters. They appear to have stainless slides.

Heckler & Koch MP5SD

Mike Lowrey and DEA Agent Tony Dodd (Antoni Corone) are seen using Heckler & Koch MP5SDs during the Cuban rescue mission. They are fitted with an Aimpoint CompM2 red dot sight and a SureFire 660 tactical flashlight under the barrel. Several members of the Miami P.D. SWAT team that storms the Spanish Palms Mortuary can also be seen armed with similarly-equipped MP5SDs, albeit without the Aimpoint scopes.

Heckler & Koch UMP45

During the freeway chase scene, Mike Lowrey takes out an Heckler & Koch UMP from the back seat of his Ferrari, deploying the weapon at the beginning of the break/gunfight in the chase at the intersection. During this gunfight, Marcus Burnett gets another UMP and uses it during this shootout, as well as the continuation of the chase as it spills onto the MacArthur Causeway Bridge. It's here that Burnett, while offering up suppressive fire, accidentally riddles the dashboard of Lowrey's Ferrari with a burst. It is noted as the UMP45, the .45 ACP variant, based on its slower rate of fire than the .40 S&W and 9x19mm variants, as well as the transparent strip running down the side of the magazine. Mike Lowrey is also seen with a Heckler & Koch UMP when he and the SWAT team break into Tapia's Funerary, this one has a flashlight.

Steyr SPP

During the rescue mission in Cuba and the final standoff of the film, Tapia can be seen brandishing a Steyr SPP, a variant of the Steyr TMP machine pistol with the foregrip removed. The weapon is shown as capable of firing on full-auto, which means that this SPP, like many SPPs seen in American movies and TV shows, was converted to automatic with a registered auto sear by a qualified armorer.

Rifles

AKM

Numerous AKMs appear in the film, being wielded by Cuban Army soldiers responding to the attack on Tapia's mansion. Tito Vargas (Reynaldo A. Gallegos) can be seen wielding an AKM as well, using it to help the protagonists escape Tapia's mansion during "plan B".

AKMSU

Several of the Haitian gang members can be seen brandishing AKMSU carbines during the freeway chase scene, and again when Burnett and Lowrey raid their hideout. One AKMSU is seen during the shootout at Tapia's Cuban house, which clearly has a 7.62x39 magazine, but features an AKS-74U style side-folding stock.

Olympic Arms K3B CAR

There are two appearances of a CAR-15/XM177-style carbine in the film, both in the hands of drug runners in a "go fast" speedboat. Upon close inspection, these are actually the Olympic Arms K3B CAR, which is the Olympic Arms commercial XM177-pattern clone sold in the U.S. until the mid-1990s. Notably, they all feature M16A2-style receivers (not found on any genuine XM177 variation) and long 5.5" "mock" XM177 flash hiders that lack sound suppression capabilities.

This weapon is a common stand-in for the XM177 in Hollywood productions made in the 1990s.

DSA SA58 OSW

Another weapon used by the Haitian gang members is an American variant of the FN FAL carbine, the DSA SA58 OSW, seen during the intersection shootout and freeway chase scenes by "Blondie Dreads" (Kiko Ellsworth). Like the FN FAL, The SA58 comes in many shapes and sizes and can easily be modified with different stocks, sights, etc., but in this particular scene it is a "Tactical Carbine OSW", which is a select-fire, short carbine (12" barrel with carbine handguard) with a para-style side-folding stock and a 7.62x51mm 30-round FAL magazine. Like the law enforcement/military-only version of the SA58 OSW, the one used in the movie is select-fire. A US Marine can be seen firing one at the protagonists' H2 Hummer when they charge onto the US Naval Base at Guantanamo, which is inaccurate since this weapon is not used by the US military.

Heckler & Koch G36C

During the rescue mission in Cuba, Burnett uses a Heckler & Koch G36C fitted with an Aimpoint CompM2 red dot sight as his main weapon; the sound effect used when the weapon is fired in this scene seems to imply a ridiculously high rate of fire. A DEA agent can also be seen using a G36C briefly during the freeway chase scene.

M4A1 Carbine

The M4A1 Carbine makes several appearances as well; first in the hands of TNT members waiting for the signal to move in on the Ku Klux Klan members at the start of the film, then among the weapons used by the rescue team during the mission in Cuba. The M4s are fitted with various accessories, including Aimpoint CompM2 red dot sights, Surefire M500AB foreend weaponlights, and laser sights.

Colt M16A2

During the shootout between the Haitian gang members and the police in the intersection, several Miami police officers are seen engaging the Haitians with M16A2 rifles retrieved from the trunks of their patrol cars. They are also seen being used by US Marines responding to the standoff situation at the perimeter of the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base.

Shotguns

Double-Barreled Shotgun

During the rescue mission in Cuba, Tapia's mother Donna Maria Tapia (Gloria Irizarry) attacks the rescuers with a double-barreled shotgun of unknown make and model, though is knocked out by one of the rescuers when she runs out of ammunition. When she raises it, it makes a pump-action cocking sound.

Ithaca 37 (Nickel)

Some of the Haitian gang members are seen using Ithaca 37 shotguns fitted with their distinctive pistol grips, but they are not long enough to be "Stakeout" models. They are not Remington 870s, as they have no ejection port and a different style trigger guard. A goof in this scene is that the same Haitian is seen wielding the shotgun inside the Trans Am that Marcus shoots and crashes into the back of another car yet he is still present during the intersection shootout. The gang member "Blond Dreads" can later be seen with it when the protagonists track him to his house.

Machine Guns

Browning M2HB (Mocked up as DShK)

Mk 2 Hand Grenade (mockup)

When Lowrey and Burnett are getting chewed out by Captain Howard (Joe Pantoliano) in his office following the freeway chase, what appears to be a Mk 2 hand grenade can be seen sitting on his desk. This is actually an oversized pewter hand grenade cigarette lighter modeled after the Mk 2.

Type 69 RPG

During the rescue mission in Cuba, the Cuban Army arrives to complicate matters, including at least one Type 69 RPG team. It differs from the Russian RPG-7, most notably that the soldier firing it has to grab one handle above the launcher and one below - indicative of the Type 69 (the Chinese copy of the RPG-7). It is also fitted with a PGO-7 scope.
