Error creating thumbnail: File missing WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!

Pistols

Browning Hi-Power

Captain Ryan (Liam Cunningham) keeps a Browning Hi-Power as his sidearm in the film. He wields it during Private Coopers' (Kevin McKidd) Special Ops training. When Sgt. Wells' (Sean Pertwee) team finds the remains of the Spec Ops camp, he picks up one of the Browning Hi-Powers and keeps it as his sidearm for the remainder of the film. Pvt. Cooper also takes one from the Spec Ops camp, but gives his Hi-Power to Megan (Emma Cleasby), who uses it to defend herself. Pvt. 'Spoon' Witherspoon (Darren Morfitt) also briefly handles Cooper's Hi-Power during the interrogation of Captain Ryan. Sergeant Wells later gives his Hi-Power to Cooper during the climax. An interesting point is that Ryan's pistol has no magazine in the gun at the start of the film, yet somehow he manages to chamber a round and kill a dog. Furthermore, the Mark III Hi Power has a magazine safety, which means even if there was somehow a round in the chamber, he couldn't have fired without a magazine in place.

 ==Browning Hi-Power==
-The [[Browning Hi-Power]] is used many times throughout the film, first by Captain Ryan ([[Liam Cunningham]]) during Private Coopers' ([[Kevin McKidd]]) Special Ops training and later shown to be Sgt. Wells' ([[Sean Pertwee]]) sidearm. Later in the film it is used by Megan ([[Emma Cleasby]]) and is finally used by Cooper. An interesting point is that Ryan's pistol has no magazine in the gun at the start, yet somehow he manages to chamber a round and kill a dog without the slide locking back. Although there was no magazine in the gun to lock the slide back, it does raise the question of how he managed to chamber the round in the first place.  Not to mention Mark III Hi Power's have a magazine safety, which means even if there was a round in the chamber, he couldn't have fired without a magazine in place.

 =Submachine Guns=
 ==Heckler & Koch MP5A2==
-The [[Heckler & Koch MP5A2]] is first seen during Pvt. Coopers' Special Ops training and are later taken from the Special Forces camp. Most are seen with a Surefire light and at least one has some kind of scope or laser sighting mounted on it.
+Most of Captain Ryan's ([[Liam Cunningham]]) Special Ops soldiers carry [[Heckler & Koch MP5A2|Heckler & Koch MP5A2s]] as their primary firearms. Capt. Ryan's men use their MP5A2s during Pvt. Cooper's Special Ops training. After Sgt. Wells' ([[Sean Pertwee]]) team  finds the remains of the Special Ops camp during their training exercise, the team trades in their blank-firing [[Enfield L85 rifle series#L85A1|L85A1s]] in favor of the MP5s. Private Cooper ([[Kevin McKidd]]), Private 'Spoon' Witherspoon ([[Darren Morfitt]]), Corporal Bruce Campbell ([[Thomas Lockyer]]), and Private Terry Milburn ([[Leslie Simpson]]) all carry the MP5s after the exercise is deemed over. Most of the MP5s are fitted with surefire weaponlights, some have dual magazines clamped together, and several seem to have mid-range scopes installed.

 =Rifles=
 ==L85A1==
-[[Enfield L85 rifle series#L85A1|L85A1]]'s are used by the British Army team during the training exercise at the start of the film, with military blank adapters and SUSAT sights attached. They are later ditched when the team discover the dead Special Ops team, as they would be useless against a real threat.
+Sgt. Wells ([[Sean Pertwee]]) and his team, including Private Cooper ([[Kevin McKidd]]), Private 'Spoon' Witherspoon ([[Darren Morfitt]]), Private Joe Kirkley ([[Chris Robson]]), Private Terry Milburn ([[Leslie Simpson]]), and Corporal Bruce Campbell ([[Thomas Lockyer]]), all wield [[Enfield L85 rifle series#L85A1|L85A1]]s during the training exercise at the start of the film. The [[Enfield L85 rifle series#L85A1|L85A1s]] are fitted with military blank adapters and SUSAT sights. The team later ditches their L85A1s when they discover the destroyed Spec Ops camp, knowing that the guns would be useless against a real threat.

-==H&K G3A3==
+==Heckler & Koch HK41==
-A [[Heckler & Koch G3|Heckler & Koch G3A3]] is another weapon taken from the Special Forces camp and used by Private "Spoon" Witherspoon ([[Darren Morfitt]]) and then by Private Terry Milburn ([[Leslie Simpson]]) after swapping his MP5A2 for it. This weapon later disappears from the film, without explanation. The rifle used in the movie had difficulty handling blanks and the bolt had to be manually cycled occasionally. It seems the flash hider was removes from the gun.
+Private 'Spoon' Witherspoon ([[Darren Morfitt]]) picks up a [[Heckler_%26_Koch_G3#Heckler_&_Koch_HK91|Heckler & Koch HK41]] at the destroyed Special Ops camp, and uses it for a good proportion of the film. Private Terry Milburn ([[Leslie Simpson]]) also uses the Heckler & Koch HK41, as he trades his [[Heckler & Koch MP5A2]] with Spoon. The weapon is later lost when Terry is dragged away by the werewolves. The flash hider was removed from the gun, a slimline handguard was fitted, and a block was attached to the receiver behind the ejection port, possibly to act as a brass deflector. The weapon can be identified as an HK41 by its lack of a paddle magazine release lever, and its two position fire selector.
+The rifle used in the movie had difficulty cycling blanks and often the bolt had to be manually worked between shots. Darren Morfitt can occasionally be seen operating the bolt in this fashion in the film.

-==Mossberg 500 ==
+==Mossberg 500==
-A [[Mossberg 500]] shotgun is taken from the Special Ops camp and is used by Pvt. Joe Kirkley ([[Chris Robson]]) throughout the farmhouse attack and escape from the forest. Many times throughout the film it is shown firing way more rounds than the real gun can hold (in the typical action movie style).
+Private Joe Kirkley ([[Chris Robson]]) picks up a [[Mossberg 500]] shotgun from the destroyed Special Ops camp. Kirkley uses the Mossberg as his primary firearm for the remainder of the film. On several occasions (in typical action movie fashion), he manages to fire off more rounds than the shotgun can hold.

+==Heckler & Koch P2A1==

+When Sgt.

Private Cooper, Private Joe Kirkland, and Private 'Spoon' Withersoon use these Stun Grenades during the film to fend off the werewolves.
