Battle Royale (Original title: バトル・ロワイアル - read as: Batoru rowaiaru) is the 2000 Japanese feature film adaptation of the controversial 1999 Japanese novel of the same name by Koushun Takami, who later published a 3,000 page illustrated manga version of the story. The premise of the film revolves around "The Program", a government-sponsored event which forces randomly selected junior high school students who are armed with various weapons to eliminate each other until there is one remaining survivor. The film would spawn a 2003 sequel: Battle Royale II: Requiem.
The following weapons were used in the film Battle Royale:
Boy #20 - Kyoichi Motobuchi (Ryou Nitta) is given a Smith & Wesson Model 19 revolver. Upon his demise, it is claimed and used by Boy #5 - Kawada (Tarô Yamamoto). He later gives it to Boy #15 - Shuya Nanahara (Tatsuya Fujiwara) as a gesture of good faith.
During the lighthouse shootout Girl #19 - Chisato Matsui (Asami Kanai) grabs a Smith & Wesson Model 19 Snub Nose revolver with rubber grips off of a table holding several of the student's weapons. The weapon is likely intended to be Girl #2 - Yukie Utsumi (Eri Ishikawa)'s weapon. After the shootout, Shuya retrieves the Model 19 and gives it to Kawada (Tarô Yamamoto).
Boy #17 - Mitsuru Numai's (Yousuke Shibata) weapon is a Colt Python revolver. After his death the gun is used by Boy #6 - Kazuo Kiriyama (Masanobu Andô). Shogo Kawada and his girlfriend Keiko are also seen with Colt Pythons during a flashback to one of the previous "games".
Girl #12 - Haruka Tanizawa (Satomi Ishii) is assigned a Browning Hi-Power pistol. In a continuity error, Girl #10 - Hirono Shimizu's (Anna Nagata) M1911 switches to a Browning Hi-Power during her initial appearance.
Girl #19 - Chisato Matsui (Asami Kanai) is given a Walther PPK at the beginning of the game, but never uses it, opting instead to retrieve a S&W Model 19 Snub Nose during the shootout at the lighthouse.
Girl #10 - Hirono Shimizu’s (Anna Nagata) weapon is a Colt M1911A1 pistol (though it is initially replaced with a Browning Hi-Power due to a continuity error).
After Hirono drops her and it is picked up by Mitsuko (Kô Shibasaki) M1911A1, it suffers from another continuity error and changes again, this time into a Colt Combat Commander.
Boy #5 - Shôgo Kawada (Tarô Yamamoto)'s assigned weapon is a stockless Franchi SPAS-12 shotgun. He normally uses it in pump-action mode, but in a continuity error it briefly switches to semi-auto during the final fight with Kiriyama (Masanobu Ando).
Boy #10 - Ryuhei Asagawa's (Shirô Gô) weapon is an IMI Uzi submachine gun. After he is killed by Boy #6 - Kazuo Kiriyama (Masanobu Andô), the weapon is used by him.
Girl #16 - Yuka Nakagawa's (Satomi Hanamura) weapon is an IMI Micro-Uzi fitted with a large flash suppressor. It is taken and used by Girl #17 - Satomi Noda (Sayaka Kamiya) after Yuka is accidentally poisoned. After Satomi dies, it is used by Boy #15 - Shuya Nanahara (Tatsuya Fujiwara).
Some of the soldiers seen during 3-B's introduction to the BR Program are seen with M16A1s (denoted by their full-auto capability displayed in the scene) outfitted with M16A2 handguards.
Girl #5 - Izumi Kanai (Tamaki Mihara) is given several Mk. 2 hand grenades, but is killed before she can use them. Kiriyama later uses two them to destroy the clinic.
