Reindeer Games (released under the title Deception in the UK) is a 2000 heist film starring Ben Affleck as Rudy Duncan, an ex-convict who is coerced into helping in robbing a casino in Michigan that he used to work at by a psychotic trucker (Gary Sinise). Reindeer Games was director John Frankenheimer's final theatrical movie.
The following weapons were used in the film Reindeer Games:
Gabriel is seen in many scenes carrying a Glock 17, which is also used at the end of the movie by Ashley (Charlize Theron). It was previously misidentified as Glock 22 because of the supposed big bore diameter, the only telltale sign of a 2nd Generation 9x19mm Glock and a 2nd Generation .40 S&W Glock is the amount of trigger pins above the trigger, the 9x19mm Gen 2 Glocks has only one whereas the .40 Glocks has two pins above it. The Glock shown in this movie appears to have only one pin above the trigger, making it a 9x19mm Glock (the Glock 17).
Pug (Donal Logue) uses a pair of Beretta 92FS Inox pistols during the casino heist. One of these pistols is also visible in the weapons storage compartment in Gabriel's big rig.
When Gabriel's gang carries out the casino heist, Rudy convinces them to take him along. Gabriel doesn't want to give Rudy a real gun, so he instead gives him a plastic water pistol shaped like a Beretta 92FS. The prop itself seems to be an inexpensive airsoft Beretta 92FS that has been dressed up to look more like a squirt gun, as there aren't many (if any) water pistols in real life which bear such a close resemblance to real guns.

Most of the guards in the casino carry Taurus PT92s as their sidearms.

In the theatrical release of the film, the guard's gun is empty despite the fact that the only gunfire thus far has come from Gabriel and his men firing their weapons into the ceiling to intimidate everyone. However, the director's cut of the film reinstates a shootout between the robbers and the casino security prior to this, thereby explaining why the guard's pistol is out of ammo. Apparently when the shootout scene was deleted from the theatrical cut no one noticed the goof that had been created.Error creating thumbnail: File missingRudy spies a dropped Taurus PT92 on the floor and tries to go for it...Error creating thumbnail: File missing...but stops when Merlin fires a shotgun blast into the floor dangerously close by.
SIG-Sauer P226
Rudy Duncan (Ben Affleck) briefly wields a nickel-plated SIG-Sauer P226 during the casino heist, apparently after capturing it from a guard. He is forced to surrender the weapon after Gabriel and Ashley corner him.
A nickel Desert Eagle Mark I is visible in the weapons storage compartment in Gabriel's big rig.

Shotguns
Remington 870
The first weapon seen in the movie is a Remington 870 fitted with a Surefire forend, which is carried by a corrections officer in the tower.
Later on, when Gabriel and Merlin are taking weapons from the storage compartment in the semi trailer, it is possible to see a custom Remington 870 fitted with a choke and an unusual-looking Butler Creek "hand lock" forend (this same shotgun was used by Jean Claude Van Damme in Timecop and Byron Mann in the movie Crying Freeman).

Visible next to the custom Mossberg 500 Compact is a Remington 870 fitted with a Butler Creek tactical forend (barrel pointed upwards).
Franchi PA3/215
For much of the movie, Gabriel (Gary Sinise) carries a Franchi PA3/215 as his weapon-of-choice. In one scene of the film, Rudy Duncan (Ben Affleck) briefly gets a hold of the PA3.
Merlin (Clarence Williams III) is armed with a custom shorty Mossberg 500 during the casino heist. The shotgun is fitted with forward and rear pistol grips, a heat shield, and extra shell holder. It is also seen in the weapons storage compartment in Gabriel's big rig. This seems to be the exact same shotgun that was used by Kevin Costner in 3000 Miles to Graceland.
A sawed-off Ithaca 37 shotgun is carried by Jumpy (Danny Trejo) during the casino heist. This gun is also visible in the weapons storage compartment in Gabriel's big rig.

Gabriel (Gary Sinise) uses a Remington 7400 while chasing Rudy and Ashley through a forest. It should be noted that Sinise highly exaggerates the recoil of this weapon when firing it.
An Olympic Arms K23B compact assault rifle is used by Gabriel (Gary Sinise) during the casino heist. This weapon is also used by Jack Bangs (Dennis Farina), akimbo with his Uzi. The version used in the film is the flat-top model; Gabriel uses it with the carry handle removed and no additional sighting (which is sure to make aiming a great deal more difficult).
A Norinco Type 84 assault rifle is visible in the weapons storage compartment in Gabriel's big rig.

Steyr AUG A1
A 16" Steyr AUG A1 is visible in the weapons storage compartment in Gabriel's big rig.
When Jack Bangs (Dennis Farina) opens his "Pow Wow" safe, he pulls out a pair of submachine guns and starts spraying Gabriel's crew with automatic weapon-fire. One of the subguns he draws is a converted Cobray M11/9, which is only seen very briefly (and not clearly) before he drops it and switches to his Uzi.
A Calico M960A submachine gun with a 100-round magazine and a scope is visible in the weapons storage compartment in Gabriel's big rig.
