Proteus (1995)

Proteus is a 1995 sci-fi horror film directed by Bob Keen (To Catch a Yeti) and starring Craig Fairbrass. Although given a theatrical release in the UK, it went direct-to-video in the US.

The following weapons were used in the film Proteus:

AKS-47

Alex (Craig Fairbrass) uses an modified AKS-47 for much of the film. His AKS-47 appears to be a hybrid between an AKS-47 and an L85 rifle, with an L85 forend and SUSAT sight. One of the Brinkstone guards is also armed with the same rifle, which Alex later takes away from him.

-The main gun used in the film is what appears to be a modified [[AK47]] with a folding stock. It's found by DEA agent Alex ([[Craig Fairbrass]]) in the lab, and he uses it, sometimes with a flashlight taped to the barrel, throughout the remainder of the film.

-A [[Heckler & Koch MP5]] the second of the guns found in the lab. It is primarily used by DEA agent Rachel (Jennifer Calvert) although Paul (Robert Firth) carries it in some scenes briefly prior to his death, and Linda (Toni Barry) also finds one in the hallway. Rachel is shown explaining trigger discipline and how to reload and other gun safety tips to her fellow survivors. Security guard Buckley ([[Ricco Ross]]) is seen with one prior to the castaways' arrival, and he still has it when he turns up again later. A few of Leonard Brinkstone's (Doug Bradley) henchmen also carry them at the climax.
