==AVR-30== | |||
The AVR-30 Machine Gun is used as a door gun on the SA-2 Samson tiltrotors, and as an assault rifle by the ten-foot-tall Avatars. The weapon closely resembles an [[M60 machine gun]] in its frame and uses a side-mounted detachable drum magazine (very closely resembling an [[MG42]] or MG3) instead of an ammo belt. Jake Sully ([[Sam Worthington]]) uses this during the Thanator attack and during the final battle until he pulls out his grenades. Norm Spellman ([[Joel David Moore]]) uses one during the final battle as well. | |||

The following weapons appear in the film Avatar:
AVR-30
The AVR-30 Machine Gun is used as a door gun on the SA-2 Samson tiltrotors, and as an assault rifle by the ten-foot-tall Avatars. The weapon closely resembles an M60 machine gun in its frame and uses a side-mounted detachable drum magazine (very closely resembling an MG42 or MG3) instead of an ammo belt. Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) uses this during the Thanator attack and during the final battle until he pulls out his grenades. Norm Spellman (Joel David Moore) uses one during the final battle as well.
SN-9 WASP (Custom Break-open Revolver)
A WASP revolver is the sidearm of Col. Quaritch (Stephen Lang) and uses 9mm hypervelocity sabot rounds. . He keeps the handgun in a crossdraw thigh holster and is seen using it when he tries to stop the fleeing Samson helicopter, and during the final battle to try to dislodge Jake. (The name for the handgun is taken from the "Avatar Survival Guide".) The handgun is said to be resemble the Russian revolver MP-412.
GS-221 Base Carbine unit (Standard Issue Rifle)
Seen used by the RDA SecFor on Pandora. According to the "Human Hardware" featurette the weapons are made by the fictional company "MATANZA ARMS CORP.". The props, realized by Weta Workshop, have been built in at least 2 variants: the Standard Issue Rifle GS-221 and the Personal Defence Weapon(PDW)variant with a shorter barrel. From a closer inspection of the weapons, resemblences can be clearly seen to the MC-R (modular Caseless Rifle) that appeared in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter series of games. The shotgun and the underslung weapon on the rifles have similarities, so one could assume a shorter shotgun is underneath the GS-221(Rifle)much like the Master Key system used by SWAT and Military CQB forces. (note the ejection ports on the rifles in the picture below). Col. Quaritch (Stephen Lang) fires a PDW variant at the escaping Samson helicopter before switching to his revolver. The actual gun being used seems to be slightly customized Magpul PDR. The GS-221 with under slung bullpup shotgun or grenade launcher (Appears to be similar to the Shotgun main body), the Shotgun and the PDW (Flamethrower hidden by the Bullpup Shotgun). Some rifles look like they have under-barrel attachments that could be a shot gun or a grenade launcher, however they were never fired during the film.

Unknown Bullpup Shotgun
Seen used by RDA operatives in the trailers. Trudy Chacon (Michelle Rodriguez) and Norm Spellman is seen armed with one in the film.
Weapons of the movie appear to be resin casted. The shotgun and the underslung weapon on the rifles have similarities, so one could assume a shorter shotgun is underneath the GS-221(Rifle)much like the Master Key system used by SWAT and Military CQB forces.
in a behind the scene video the show one of the shot guns being fired. it its pump action so it might be based on a Mossberg 500 Bullpup. it would probably make the underslung shotguns just for show.
Modified handgun
Seen used by a SecFor member before he is pulled off the gunship. A major handguard has been added to the actual weapon. Trudy Chacon (Michelle Rodriguez) uses a Modified Handgun to break Jake (Sam Worthington), Norm (Joel David Moore) and Grace (Sigourney Weaver) out of jail and then passes it to Jake when she goes to start up the Samson.
MBS-22A "Hydra" (Tri-Barreled Machine Gun)
The MBS-22A "Hydra" is a Tri-Barreled Machine Gun that fires .50 Caliber Uranium "Needle" Rounds. Resembling the General Dynamics GAU-19/A, the three barrels on the Hydra do not spin like a GAU, but all three barrels fire in full-automatic simultaneously. The Hydra is seen used as door guns on the Aerospatiale SA-2 Samson, and on the Valkyrie that is used as a bomber. Trudy's Samson, had two auto fired during the battle for the tree of souls.
Bush Boss FD-11
Prop seen in the "Human Hardware" featurette. In the movie it is used briefly by a mercenary to burn plant life during the final battle sequence. According to the "Pandorapedia", a similar but bigger weapon would be an optional equipment for the AMP suit; however this system is not visible in the movie.
Fictional 30mm autocannon the "GAU-90"
Carried like rifles by the AMP suits. Col. Miles Quartich (Stephen Lang) and Cpl. Lyle Wainfleet (Matt Gerald) use GAU-90's on their suits during the final battle.
Gatling Guns
Gatling-style Guns resembling the M61 Vulcan are seen being fired from Quaddritch's gunship.
