Postal is the 2007 feature film adaptation of the video game series of the same name, directed by the infamous Uwe Boll. Based primarily on the series' second installment, the film stars Zack Ward as the Postal Dude, an unemployed loser in the town of Paradise, Arizona. After failing a job interview at a local company, he teams up with his cult leader Uncle Dave (Dave Foley) to steal a shipment of rare and expensive Krotchy dolls from the Little Germany theme park. However, unbeknownst to him, a group of terrorists led by Osama bin Laden (Larry Thomas) and Mohammed (Michael Benyaer) are also eyeing the same shipment.
Like many of Boll's films, Postal was a critical and commercial failure. However, Zack Ward would become a recurring actor in the series following the film, appearing as himself in Postal 2: Paradise Lost and as a voice option for the Postal Dude in Postal 4: No Regerts.
The following weapons were used in the film Postal:
A Colt Anaconda is used by Richard (Chris Coppola) throughout the film, most notably using it in his underground bunker and during the film's climax. In the extended German release, a disgruntled Paradise resident fires an Anaconda from a bicycle before he is knocked off of the bike.
A snub-nosed Colt Python is used by the Aggressive Panhandler (Michael Paré) to hold up the Postal Dude (Zack Ward) early in the film. Pythons are also used by at least one guy in the trailer park shootout.
The Postal Dude (Zack Ward) takes a Ruger Redhawk with a 7.5" barrel and black rubber grips from Richard's (Chris Coppola) bunker and uses it for the rest of the film. Faith (Jackie Tohn) also holds it during the Trailer Park Shootout as the Dude engages in hand-to-hand combat although she is not seen taking it from the Postal Dude's holster.
A Ruger Speed Six is used by Vince Desi in a cameo, but is quickly taken from him by the Postal Dude. Karen (Holly Eglinton) also uses a Speed Six in Uncle Dave's mansion.
What appears to be a Smith & Wesson Model 10 is seen in the hands of a member of the local doomsday cult, the Denomination of Organic Monotheism (D.O.O.M.).
A man in the trailer park shootout uses what appears to be a 6" Smith & Wesson Model 586 with Pachmayr grips. Another 586, this time with wooden grips, is used by a different Paradise resident.
Beretta Cougars are the sidearms of both Officer Greg Sharp (Chris Spencer) and Officer John Mann (Ralf Moeller). One is also used by Uwe Boll in a cameo during the Little Germany shootout.
The Beretta 92FS is seen in the hands of of various characters, especially in the hands of Paradise police officers and the Postal Dude (Zack Ward). During the trailer park shootout, there is a continuity error where Officer Greg (Chris Spencer) picks up a 92FS before exiting a trailer, but when he steps outside he is holding a Beretta Cougar instead. Shortly afterwards when he steps back inside, the Cougar turns back into a 92FS. Starr (Lorielle New) also carries one in Richard's underground bunker.
The Postal Dude briefly utilizes a high polish stainless "Pre-B" CZ 75 during his escape from Dave's mansion. Later, a man uses a CZ 75 with wooden grips during the trailer park shootout; in some scenes, his pistol is a Pre-B while in others it is a CZ 75B. Strangely, he is seen emptying his pistol (as evident from the slide locking back), but continues to point and pretend to shoot it, with digital muzzle bursts added in post-production.
A disgruntled customer (Michael Eklund) uses a Glock 17 taken from a security guard in the social security office. Other security guards are also seen using the pistol.
Jericho 941 R pistols are seen in the hands of a number of Paradise residents as they hunt for the Postal Dude (Zack Ward). Chromed or nickeled versions are used by Jenny (Michaela Mann) and Cindy (Lucie Guest) in Dave's mansion during the shootout with the terrorists. The Dude also appears to use a regular one during the same shootout, although he quickly ditches it in favor of his Redhawk.
A Smith & Wesson 5906 is used by the Postal Dude (Zack Ward) in the both the alley shootout and the trailer park shootout. One is also used by a customer at the social security office, and a final one is seen in the hands of one Richard's thugs.
The Taliban/al-Qaeda terrorists use Heckler & Koch MP7s during the Little Germany and trailer park shootouts. Some of them are fitted with ELCAN scopes and side rails.
An AK rifle appears leaned against a wall on a crate in Richard's (Chris Coppola) bunker. Although poorly seen, it appears to have a thin magazine, indicating that it is likely an Adler-Jäger AP-80 .22 LR replica.
Mohammed (Michael Benyaer) carries an AKS-47 while inside Uncle Dave's mansion instead of his usual Zastava M70AB2. What appears to be the same weapon is also seen in the hands of another terrorist in the mansion and in the set of Osama bin Laden's (Larry Thomas) recordings.
Heckler & Koch G36K rifles are seen in the hands of Taliban/al-Qaeda terrorists. Some of them have the ZF 3x4° dual optical sight while others have the singular export sight. Most have a vertical grip attached.
An M14 rifle is used by one of the Paradise residents against the Postal Dude (Zack Ward) and Faith (Jackie Tohn) during the trailer park shootout. It appears to have a green stock.
The Zastava M70AB2 is the primary weapon of Mohammed (Michael Benyaer). Osama bin Laden's AKS-74U also turns into an M70AB2 when he arrives at Little Germany.
A Mossberg 500A field shotgun is seen in the hands of a Paradise resident during the trailer park shootout.

Another shotgun is in the back, but the blurriness of this shot makes it very hard to identify.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe same resident, with a different shirt on, firing his shotgun. It's possible that these scenes were filmed out of order, and that the man removed his blue shirt in between shots.
Remington 870
When Officer Greg (Chris Spencer) investigates an elderly Chinese woman that wasn't moving her car when the traffic lights changed color, he carries with him a Remington 870 shotgun.
A Winchester Model 1897 is used by the Postal Dude's irritating neighbor during the trailer park shootout. He only fires it once before the gun jams, much to his dismay (and demise).
A Browning M2HB is used by Richard (Chris Coppola) during the trailer park shootout, mounted on a 1987 Ford Mustang LX convertible, giving the Toyota Hilux some much needed competition.
A Daewoo K3 is seen in Richard's doomsday bunker, and is later used by the Postal Dude (Zack Ward) for two shootouts. He manages to get out of both of the sizely shootouts unscathed and with one hundred percent casualties on his aggressors. Since Postal was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, the Daewoo K3 machine gun seen in this film has been used in many TV shows and movies that were filmed in Vancouver (e.g. Stargate: SG1, Stargate: Atlantis, Walking Tall (2004), Underworld: Evolution, Battlestar Galactica etc).
An M60 is in Richard's secret doomsday bunker. Another M60 is used by one of the Paradise residents against the Postal Dude and Faith during the trailer park shootout.
An RPG-7 is in the hands of a Taliban/al-Qaeda terrorist named Abdul, a mentally handicapped terrorist. He drops it several times, the final time causing it to go off.

This is a different rocket prop than in the preivous image as it has a tail assembly but still no booster charge.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe RPG-7 goes off when Abdul drops it off a balcony while he was loading it. The wires used for the pyrotechnic firing effect are clearly visible.
