Ultraviolet (2006) is a sci fi action film, written and directed by Kurt Wimmer, most known to IMFDB users as the writer and Director of Equilibrium. Many of the elements are similar, particularly Violet's version of Gun Kata, however, like most of Ultraviolet, this and many other possibly interesting story points are never explained.


The following weapons were used in the film:


Beretta 92FS

  • The Beretta Model 92FS is the most seen handgun in the entire movie. Nearly everyone has a Beretta 92FS.

[Ultraviolet]: Daxus uses the 93R as he storms towards Violet, as hundreds of his troopers fire their rifles at her. In fact, Daxus is walking right into the field of his own men's fire when he does this.

Daxus' Incendiary Gel Pistol

  • Daxus tries to fire his napalm gel gun at Violet, but she flicks her blood and puts out the pilot light on the weapon. Daxus then fires the gun at her, only to propel a glob of flammable gel, which Violet deflects with her sword.

[Ultraviolet]: Pre-Production Concept Artwork of Daxus' Incendiary Gel Pistol (originally called Daxus' Mini Flame Thrower Gun" (for some strange reason, this drawing is titled "Mini Flame Flower" (sic)). This shows the initial design, which as we can see, changed in the final design.

Violet's Auto Pistols

  • A completely custom and fictional machine pistol is used in 'flattening technology' and hidden on Violet's body. This is her primary weapon in most battles (and it strongly resembles a staplegun...)

[Ultraviolet]: Violet (Milla Jovovich) walks down a Ministry Hall with her Auto Pistols.

[Ultraviolet]: Pre-Production Concept Artwork of Violets' Auto pistols. The design of the "Square Gun" changed somewhat from concept art to final fabrication.

SIG SG-552

  • The most common weapons of the Ministry security forces are either the SIG SG-552 or the H&K G36C. When comparing the SIG SG-552 rifles to real SIG SG-552s, these appear to be Airsoft copies and not real gun. Note the side rail on the foregrip, which is common on the Airsoft 552.

[Ultraviolet]: In what some call "the Polish Firing Squad" (no offense to Poles ;) ) troopers encircle Violet way too closely, at their own peril. Armed with SIG SG-552 rifles - 5.56mm NATO

Heckler & Koch G36C

  • Used (along with the SIG SG-552) by the Ministry Security Forces.

[Ultraviolet]: Ministry Trooper with his H&K G36C Rifle - 5.56mm NATO

Custom Colt M4/M16

  • One of the Ministry guards has a heavily modified M4 or M16 variant. It has a huge buttstock pad, more akin to a Boys Anti Tank Rifle and a large free floating combination hand guard and heat shield. Violet disassembles this gun to use the parts as martial arts weapons.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
[Ultraviolet]: Violet grabs the gun during a burst. Since the custom gun has a very large free floating heat shield, Violet could conceivable do this during a long burst from the weapon. What is interesting is that the flash still has the 'star burst' pattern from a standard M16 Flash hider, but the weapon has no flash hider - 5.56mm NATO

[Ultraviolet]: Closeup of the Custom M16. Of interest is the actual Ministry logos and 'Thaihindi' language writing on the receiver - 5.56mm NATO
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
[Ultraviolet]: When Violet realizes the weapon is empty she quickly disassembles the gun and uses the parts as weapons. Probably the only reason an M4 or M16 variant was used was because of this feature. The SIGs or HK guns could not be so quickly field stripped.

[Ultraviolet]: Pre-Production concept art of the Custom M4 rifle, initially designed to break apart, so from the beginning the weapon was designed to be a modified M16.

Custom M-11 / Katana "Combination" guns

  • Violet has a pair of what seems to be customized M11 Submachine guns with a twist, Japanese style "Katana" blades extract out of the bottoms of the grips to create a 'combination weapon'. They retract on her command. Though the weapons are design based on the M11, they are in fact completely fabricated fantasy guns, made out of synthetic materials and aluminum.

Futuristic Police Shotgun

  • Used by pursuing police officers against Violet. They are probably a completely fabricated mockup weapon.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
[Ultraviolet]: City Police chase Violet with futuristic shotguns.

Futuristic "Mini-Gun"

  • Used by ministry troops in pursuing helicopters, this "mini-gun" is far too large to be a 7.62mm or even a .50 cal weapon. And it is too small to be a 20mm (the only common "Western" calibers currently available in fast rotating barrel crew weapons). It appears to be a completely fabricated 'fantasy' Mini-gun. Note also the massive ammo rounds (larger than a .50 cal).

Shock Guns

Daxus' Katana

  • Daxus (Nick Chinlund) wields a massive Katana (sword) with unusual Saw tooth pattern on the leading edge. Though visually intimidating, this actually would great reduce the effectiveness of the blade.

Violets' Katana

  • Violet (Milla Jovovich) holds her signature Katana (sword) with an unusual flat 'chisel' shape, with mystical 'Thaihindi' writing on the surface. Again, this design, though intriguing, is an inefficient design for a combat sword.
