left to right: Flamethrower , GS-221 standard version, Bullpup Shotgun,PDW with handle LAM and electronic sight
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) 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). From closer examination of the rifles used, it appears that a number of the prop rifles were built around the Ruger AC-556 series automatic rifles (note: the shell ejection ports have a Garand-style cocking handle similar to the ones used on the Ruger Mini-14/AC-556 rifles) The Following Actors have used a GS-221 Base Carbine Unit.
