Error creating thumbnail: File missing WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Handguns
M1911A1
The M1911A1 is seen in the hands of Holnists, to include General Bethlehem (Will Patton), and is also used by The Postman (Kevin Costner) when he escapes from the Holnists.
Smith & Wesson Military & Police
General Bethlehem (Will Patton) carries a Pre-Model 10 Smith & Wesson M&P as his sidearm. The same revolver was used just moments before by Ford Lincoln Mercury (Larenz Tate). It's identifiable as a Pre-Model 10 because of the hammer, front sight and the ejector rod design.
Rifles & Carbines
Colt AR-15 Sporter I Carbine (mocked up as XM177E2)
The Holnists use Colt AR-15 Sporter I Carbines, fitted with mock flash moderators to pass for XM177E2s, that are subsequently taken and used by several other characters including The Postman (Kevin Costner) as well as Abby (Olivia Williams). They were seen firing in semi-auto, further indicating that they are mocked-up civilian models (that in this instance weren't converted to full auto). In a brief continuity error, the Sporter 1 taken from an unconscious Holnist by Abby has a standard 16" barrel and A1 flash hider, but changes back to a faux XM177E2 the next time she's shown with it.
Colt AR-15 Sporter II Carbine (mocked up as XM177E2)
A Holnist pursuing The Postman and Abby during their escape from Benning is armed with a Colt AR-15 Sporter II also mocked up as an XM177E2. The Postman later holds this carbine when encountering "Ponytail" (played by Costner's daughter Anne) in the woods.
M1 Carbine
An M1 Carbine is carried by the Postman (Kevin Costner) at the beginning of the film. He loses it when he gets captured and it's never seen again. Near the end of the movie members of the Postman's army can be seen carrying M1 Carbines as well.
Springfield Armory M1A
Springfield Armory M1As are seen in the hands of Ford Lincoln Mercury (Larenz Tate) as well as other followers of The Postman (Kevin Costner).
Winchester Model 70
A scoped Winchester Model 70 rifle is used by the Holnist Mercer (Rex Linn).
Winchester Model 1894
A Winchester 1894 Saddle Ring Carbine is carried, and used, by Colonel Getty (Joe Santos) of the Holnist Army.
FN FAL (with Cobray CM203 Launcher)
One of the Holnist soldiers is armed with what appears to be an FN FAL with mounted Cobray CM203 (standing in for the M203 grenade launcher). This appears to possibly be one of the same prop weapons previously used in the film Escape from L.A..
M16A1
M16A1 rifles can be seen being carried by Holnist soldiers in the background.
AK-47 Variant
One of the many Holnist soldiers appears to be carrying an AK-47 variant, but it's too blurry to definitively identify.
Shotguns
Mossberg 500
A Mossberg 500 shotgun is seen in the hands of Sheriff Briscoe (Daniel von Bargen).
12 Gauge Single Shot Shotgun
A Cooey Model 84 single shot shotgun is used by Idaho (James Russo).
Double Barreled Shotgun
A 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun is carried by Old George (Ron McLarty) during the movie's climax.
Ithaca 37
An Ithaca 37 shotgun is used by Old George (Ron McLarty) at the Ambush at Elvis Dam.
Heavy Weaponry
Oerlikon 20mm Cannon
The Holnists use a Oerlikon 20mm Cannon to destroy the town of Benning.
