==Heckler & Koch HK45==
==Heckler & Koch HK45==
Eli ([[Denzel Washington]]) carries a weathered [[Heckler & Koch HK45]] pistol.  Even though the pistol had just been out a year when the film was made, the filmmakers wanted it to look like an antique vintage firearm (as this film takes place in the future).  The brand new HK45 was sanded and worn down to look very old for the film. In true movie fashion, Eli fires about twice as many rounds as the pistol can hold before reloading.
Eli ([[Denzel Washington]]) carries a weathered [[Heckler & Koch HK45]] pistol (an LEM variant as noted by the bobbed hammer and lack of external safety) as his sidearm throughout the film. In true movie fashion, Eli fires about twice as many rounds as the pistol can hold before reloading.

''Trivia: Even though the pistol had only been out a year when the film was made, the brand new HK45 was sanded and worn down to look very old (as this film takes place around 3 decades in the future, so it will look like an antique vintage firearm) for the film. The actual pistol is currently on display at the National Firearms Museum located at the NRA headquarters in Fairfax, Virginia.''

==Unknown bolt action rifles==
==Colt M4A1 Carbine==
Carnegie's thugs spread out to find and kill Eli. They carry some bolt action rifles of unknown make and model.
George uses an [[M4A1 Carbine]] fitted with a vertical foregrip and Aimpoint sight during the assault on his house. The guards at Alcatraz also use M4A1s fitted with C-More red-dot sights.

i am guessing its a ruger international or a mauser of some sort...
==M1903 Springfield (Mannlicher Schönauer Carbine stock)==
When Eli is walking through the town the camera pans on a man on a roof with a bolt-action rifle. This rifle is a sporterized [[M1903 Springfield]] with a Lyman peep sight and fitted into a Mannlicher Schönauer Carbine (Stutzen) stock. The military stock had been replaced, as well as the sights, and likely the parkerized finish was replaced with a blued finish. This was common practice at a time when surplus military rifles were cheaper than sporting rifles. It is the same prop featured in the film ''[[A Boy and His Dog]]'', noting the heavy stylistic and atmospheric homage already paid, as well as featuring a poster of the film.

Handguns

Heckler & Koch HK45

Eli (Denzel Washington) carries a weathered Heckler & Koch HK45 pistol (an LEM variant as noted by the bobbed hammer and lack of external safety) as his sidearm throughout the film. In true movie fashion, Eli fires about twice as many rounds as the pistol can hold before reloading.

Trivia: Even though the pistol had only been out a year when the film was made, the brand new HK45 was sanded and worn down to look very old (as this film takes place around 3 decades in the future, so it will look like an antique vintage firearm) for the film. The actual pistol is currently on display at the National Firearms Museum located at the NRA headquarters in Fairfax, Virginia.

M1903 Springfield (Mannlicher Schönauer Carbine stock)

When Eli is walking through the town the camera pans on a man on a roof with a bolt-action rifle. This rifle is a sporterized M1903 Springfield with a Lyman peep sight and fitted into a Mannlicher Schönauer Carbine (Stutzen) stock. The military stock had been replaced, as well as the sights, and likely the parkerized finish was replaced with a blued finish. This was common practice at a time when surplus military rifles were cheaper than sporting rifles. It is the same prop featured in the film A Boy and His Dog, noting the heavy stylistic and atmospheric homage already paid, as well as featuring a poster of the film.
