The following guns were used in the film The Rundown:
(Also released under the title "Welcome to the Jungle")
Remington 870 shotguns are used by Hatcher's (Christopher Walken) men. Beck (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) later wields two akimbo (one with wood furniture, one with synthetic) during the shootout at the end of the film, pumping the actions in various manners to chamber the guns.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingRemington 870 with early style Black Synthetic Riot foregrips and buttstock - 12 gauge.Error creating thumbnail: File missingHatcher's men firing Remington 870s at Beck.Error creating thumbnail: File missingBeck holding one of the Remington 870s as the camera pans over it.File:RundownRem870-3.jpgBeck fires the synthetic stock Remington 870 one-handed at Hatcher's men, note bullet impact to where he is aiming. In real life, the recoil tends to launch the pump back and cause even more recoil, but blanks don't produce enough "kick" to do this, making firing these shotguns easier in the film.Error creating thumbnail: File missingBeck pumps the Remington 870s against a wooden crate, which wouldn't grab the pumps enough to properly chamber them. Likely they edited out any problems and kept rolling. Surely the weapons coordinator for the film was pleased to see how poorly these shotguns were treated. Note the scratches on the wooden pump.File:RundownRem870-5.jpgBeck firing the wood furniture 870.File:RundownRem870-6.jpgReversed shot.Error creating thumbnail: File missingBeck twirls the shotguns under his arms to pump the actions. While cool looking in the film, this is not as easy in real life (know from experience).Error creating thumbnail: File missingBeck then twirls the guns back to the ready position. Without turning the safeties on, the weight of the guns would cause both triggers to pull, firing the guns early. We never see him turn the safeties on so this is another cool but unlikely action.Error creating thumbnail: File missingBeck holds the two shotguns together to pump the action.Error creating thumbnail: File missingBeck shoulders the two shotguns together and fires. Talk about recoil!
Browning Automatic Rifle M1918A2
Browning Automatic Rifles are used by Hatcher's men throughout the film, despite their obsoletion to more modern assault rifles.
A Browning M1919A4 is mounted on one of Hatcher's personel trucks.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingBrowning M1919A4 designated the M37, with the ability to feed from either the left or the right of the weapon - 30-06. This example is shown without a tripod, only the pintle mount. Most likely version mounted on vehicles - .30-06.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA Browning M1919A4 mounted on the back of a personel truck.
Hatcher's men use scoped M14 Rifles during the final shootout in the town. These are semiautomatic M14As or M1As since they are missing the auto fire selector switch. Beck (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) at one point takes one of these rifles and fires it one-handed, despite the 9lb weight.
Hatcher's men use SVD Dragunov rifles to fire from the rooftops in the town. The angular, rather than curved shape of the magazine indicates that it is a Norinco NDM-86, a Chinese clone of the SVD that was chambered in .308 rather than the original 7.62x54R cartridge.
The NDM-86 was offered in both 7.62x54R and .308 Winchester. In fact the .308 Winchester NDM-86s had a factory recall: See http://www.cdnninvestments.com/dragunovrecall.html But these are the .308 versions in the film.
Mariana (Rosario Dawson) uses a Norinco SKS Sporter rifle, built to accept detachable AK magazines, which are easier to aquire than the U.S. civilian market SKS magazines. Visible in one of the screenshots, we can see the upper contour of the thumbhole stock of the SKS Sporter, so it is not an SKS-M which is a straight stocked SKS with detachable magazines.
Beck takes two M1911A1 pistols from Hatcher's whip carrying men in the bar fight at the beginning of the film, but refusing to use guns to prevent "bad things from happening to people", he unloads the pistols and flees the scene. Travis (Sean William Scott) is also briefly seen firing one during the shootout in the town.
One of the bodyguards in the nightclub at the start of the film has a Walther PPK/S tucked in his wiastband in an IWB holster, and tries to draw it before Beck (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) takes it and unloads it.
