Latest revision as of 22:48, 16 April 2012
These are the only pics I could get from the trailer. Some guns were just too damn blurry. -The Winchester
- If it's not a big issue, I replaced your pictures with some better quality ones from the IGN trailer. Markit
- I was schooled. Bravo Markit. -The Winchester
- You guys did a stellar job of screencapping the publicly available trailers! :) I will put a notice on the main movie page, just so that people know that you did a great job without bootlegging. Great job, gentlemen! MoviePropMaster2008 08:51, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

There is an UMP45 seen around 2:30, and the flamethrower is a Russian LPO 50.
Pistols
There are definitely at least 2 pistols in this movie. One is at the beginning, during the 27th Game, around the 3 minute mark. and the second is later in the movie where Kable is forced to kill his friend.
The revolver when he escapes with his wife - that's definitely a Mateba, though some (presumably cosmetic) bits are added under the barrel.
It is a Mateba, it was originally modified for the movie "Serenity". David.

Knives
Any idea what Hackman's knife was? It was a fixed plade tanto with what looked to be green G10 scales
It's some kind of combat knife that I have seen before, but can't remember the name Excalibur01
It's a S&W Homeland Security knife. http://www.knivesplus.com/smith-and-wesson-knife-sw-cksur4.html
Cobray 37mm on G36 (moved from main page)
Firing the M203 probably will be uncomfortable since these two weapons were never designed to work together. why couldn't they just use a AG36 grenade launcher which was designed to attach to the G36 family
- Most likely because the guy who thought of the idea played COD4 and had the 203 for his G36C Excalibur01 19:03, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- He could have just liked the 203 more. The AG36 is kind of fugly. Spartan198 08:23, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Realistically, they wanted a grenade launcher and the armorer only had Cobrays Excalibur01
- That's most likely. But it's also worth mentioning that the AG36 isn't compatible with the G36C. Spartan198 10:22, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
M4 on DVD cover
i thought i would bring this up.in the UK (dont know if anyware else has this cover) it incorrectly labels the G36 as an M4. the M4 is in the top right hand corner and thisis the UK cover and not a made-up one. they dont look anything alike. you could no way get these mixed up and the fact this movie is called gamer and has got a lot of inspiration from video games (most likly modern warfare) i dont know how someone could get this mixed up. --Smish34 22:49, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

M1919
This M1919 looks funny. Could it be an AN/M2?
- Looks like one to me. --funkychinaman 19:51, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
Accessories
Nearly every Slayers weapon has a safety mechanism that has a green light when they start "playing" the game. For a while now I can't figure out what this is. Does anyone know if this mount is an actual laser mount or something fabricated for the movie? --gatta-no 6:12, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
Just from looking at it, it looks like just a little battery-powered LED mounted on top of the gun. Really easy to make. Chitoryu12 17:48, 16 April 2012 (CDT)
Missing Guns
- Before the 30th Battle when the Slayers are getting prepared for battle, I believe one was inserting a magazine into a rifle that looked like the Kel Tec SU-16. And during either the 29th or 30th battle one slayer had a Mossberg 500 bullpup. --Mpe2010 03:27, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
Yep, it appears to be a PLR-16 due to the shape of the pistol grip and lack of buttstock. Very distinctive round cutouts in bottom of magwell.
