Doomsday is a 2008 science fiction action film written and directed by Neil Marshall, who wrote and directed the 2002 film Dog Soldiers. As is customary with many British filmmakers, Marshall utilized actors from his earlier movie to star in his current one, evidenced by the fact that nearly the entire cast of Dog Soldiers appears in this movie.

The following weapons were used in the film Doomsday:

Handguns

Walther P38

Major Eden Sinclair (Rhona Mitra) uses a custom suppressed Walther P38 as her main handgun during the capture of the slaver's ship. Later on Eden's Walther P38 is used by Sol (Craig Conway) during the highway chase scene.

-=== Walther P38 ===
+''[[Doomsday]]'' is a 2008 science fiction action film written and directed by [[Neil Marshall]], who wrote and directed the 2002 film ''[[Dog Soldiers]]''.  As is customary with many British filmmakers, Marshall utilized actors from his earlier movie to star in his current one, evidenced by the fact that nearly the entire cast of ''[[Dog Soldiers]]'' appears in this movie.
-[[Image:P38.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Unmodified Walther P38 pistol - 9mm]]
-Eve uses a custom supressed [[Walther P38]] as her main handgun durring the capture of the slavers ship. Latter the same handgun is used by Sol durring the highway chase scene.
-=== Smith & Wesson Model 19 ===
+{{Film Title}}

-on the boxcover art there are three what appear to be [[Smith & Wesson Model 19]]'s carried by Sol(Craig Conway).

-== Rifles ==

-=== SA80 ===
-[[Image:Sa80-l85a2.jpg|thumb|none|400px|L85A2 5.56mm]]
-The [[SA80]] assault rifles in this film appear to all be Airsoft replicas with the effects of fireing digitally added in. the reason for that is the film was made mostly in South Africa and SA80s are nonexistant in South African movie Armories as far as I know.
-=== Vektor CR1 ===
+==Walther P38==
-Most of the DDS agents carry Vektor CR-1 assault rifles tricked out with flashlights, laser sights, and sound supressors.
+Major Eden Sinclair ([[Rhona Mitra]]) uses a custom suppressed [[Walther P38]] as her main handgun during the capture of the slaver's ship. Later on Eden's Walther P38 is used by Sol (Craig Conway) during the highway chase scene.

-== Shotguns ==

-=== Neostead Shotgun ===
+Richter's assistant, Afro Girl (yes, that is her name in the credits) ([[Eloise Cupido]]) wields a nickel plated [[Colt Single Action Army|Single Action Army]] revolver.

-a [[Neostead shotgun]] is used in the abandoned hospital scene. notably to cause the elevator to fall down it's shaft.
-=== Armsel Protecta ===

-An Armsel Protecta is seen momentarily durring the crashed APC scene.
-=== Unknown sawed off over/under shotgun ===
+==Vektor CP1==
-an Unknown over/under shotgun is used to take a DDS agent hostage and is then accidentally discharged into the hostages head.
+DDS soldiers are shown using a modified version of the [[Vektor CP1]] pistol. Their version has an extended ported barrel, making the pistol resemble the [[FN Five-seveN]], and a module under the barrel which holds both a light and laser. The laser turns on when the trigger is depressed, but this is most clearly seen when Eden uses it during daylight.

-Insted of the British Army issued [[FN MAG|L7A2]] the trooper on the top of the armored vehicle is useing a [[Vektor SS-77]] GPMG. the reason for this was that the Armorers in South Africa where the Movie was filmed most likely didn't have any L7A2s in stock.
-=== Prop Sentrygun ===
+==Webley Mk VI==

+=Submachine Guns=
+==Armscor BXP==
+During the assault on the slaver ship a guard carries a [[MAC-10#Armscor BXP|Armscor BXP]] submachine gun. This weapon was selected due to the scene being filmed in South Africa and being readily available to South African Armorers. The weapon is only briefly seen.
+[[Image:MilkorBXP.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Armscorp BXP - 9x19mm]]
+[[Image:DD SubGun01a.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A guard at the slaver ship walks with a BXP submachine gun. The giveaway is the style of the folding stock, which can be seen only in blurry film frames as the man is falling down.]]
+=Rifles=
+==Enfield L85A1==
+[[SA80|L85A1]] assault rifles are used by British soldiers during the initial outbreak of the Reaper Virus (circa 2008) which would almost be correct (they would have the upgraded L85A2s). Upon close inspection, the rifles seem to be Umarex Airsoft rifles with the muzzle flashes, bolt movement, and flying brass casings digitally inserted later, but they did a good job on many of the scenes. What is odd is that the L85A1 rifles have a tiny Union Jack flag sticker on them which usually only appears on the airsoft guns.

+==Vektor CR-21==
+Most of the DDS agents carry [[Galil#Vektor CR-21|Vektor CR-21]] assault rifles fitted with sound suppressors, flashlights, and laser sights. In the early part of the film, DDS agents carry CR-21 rifles with the original South African optical sight. During the mission in the badlands of Scotland, the DDS Soldiers use CR-21s that have SUSAT optical sights mounted.

+Richter ([[Jeremy Crutchley]]), the trafficker in Scottish slave labor, uses a sawn-off Russian [[IZh-27]] Over & Under double barreled shotgun to kill his business associates (whom he thinks betrayed him) and to hold DDS Agent John Michaelson ([[Tom Fairfoot]]) hostage.

+==NeoStead 2000==
+A [[NeoStead 2000]] shotgun fitted with a flashlight is used by Chandler ([[Rick Warren]]) and then Eden Sinclair ([[Rhona Mitra]]) during the sweep of the abandoned hospital. The shotgun is used to blast a hole in the elevator ceiling and cut the cable. In the DVD extras, the director [[Neil Marshall]] claims that this is the only movie so far that has featured this unusual South African Pump Shotgun.

+==Cobray Street Sweeper==
+Miller ([[Chris Robson]]) uses a [[SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper|Cobray Street Sweeper]] during the crashed APC scene. What makes this confusing is that this scene was filmed in South Africa and one would expect the armorers to favor the better made [[Armsel Striker]] shotgun over the low-end Cobray Street Sweeper. One theory is that it is an older version of the Striker which had a key style that was eventually copied by SWD/Cobray for the Street Sweeper, but as far as the film goes, the shotgun more closely resembles what we now know to be the Street Sweeper and not the Striker, despite the fact it's in South Africa pointing towards the Striker.
+[[Image:CobrayStreetSweeper.jpg|thumb|none|450px|SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper with short barrel and top folding stock - 12 gauge.

+=Machine Guns=
+==Vektor SS-77 Machine Gun==
+Instead of the British Army issued [[FN MAG|L7A2]], the trooper on the top of the armored vehicle is using a [[Vektor SS-77]] GPMG. This is because the sequence in question was filmed in South Africa so armorers used what was at hand.

+==Twin Barreled Sentry Guns==
+The British army in the story, abandons manning the wall about five years after the northern lands were sealed off and have been using motion sensor activated Sentry Guns to destroy anything that moves. Sgt. Norton mentions that the guns only wreak havoc on the 'local wildlife' since they haven't had a human target for twenty years, just as the guns focus on and destroy a rabbit. The guns themselves are just fabricated props and not based on any real world firearm or auto cannon.

+During the hospital scene, the DDS troops pass a Vektor MG-4 version of the [[Browning M1919A4]] machine gun. It's mounted on what looks to be an anti-aircraft tripod and the debris of twenty five years of neglect.

+==Defense Technologies 1315==
+British soldiers fire CS gas and smoke grenades at the crowd from atop the quarantine wall. Though difficult to clearly see, they are single shot launchers with twin pistol grips, strongly resembling the [[Defense Technologies 37mm Gas Gun]].

+==Silicon Foam Grenade==
+Sci fi prop "Silicon Foam" grenades are used during the escape from the hospital to enable the DDS soldiers to survive an elevator drop by encasing them in foam. Miller ([[Chris Robson]]) refers to them as "Silicon Foam Grenades" during the initial meeting with Major Eden Sinclair.

+==Fragmentation Grenade==

+==High Explosive Grenade==
+Bandoleers of these long silver fabricated HE grenades are seen on the armory table and also carried by Sgt. Norton throughout the film. They are most prominent during the castle escape when Norton retrieves his bandoleer from the castle armory and starts blowing things up. The grenades are fabricated Sci Fi Props.
