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.

Revision as of 11:57, 17 June 2010
Avatar is the 2009 science fiction adventure film that recently became the world's highest grossing film of all time. The movie was directed by James Cameron (Aliens, Titanic and The Terminator).
The following weapons appear in the film Avatar:
AVR-30 (M60 type MG)
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. The AVR-M60 has a very notable triangular barrel. 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.
left to right: Flamethrower , GS-221 standard version, Bullpup Shotgun,PDW with handle LAM and electronic sight
Combat 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. The shotgun actually appears in the game and is a massive weapon that fires 20mm rounds, each bullet packed with small spherical pellets that easily injure the fauna.
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.
RDA Handgun
An semi automatic handgun made by RDA is seen used by a RDA operative before he is pulled off the gunship. A major handguard has been added to the actual weapon. Trudy Chacon (Michelle Rodriguez) holds the handgun on the brig guard while helping to break Jake (Sam Worthington), Norm (Joel David Moore) and Grace (Sigourney Weaver) escape. Jake then handles the handgun as Trudy goes to start up the Samson.
MBS-9M .50 Caliber "Hydra" (Tri-Barreled Machine Gun)
The MBS-9M "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 (Flamethrower Unit)
Prop seen in the "Human Hardware" featurette. In the movie it is used briefly by a RDA operative 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.
GAU-90 30mm Autocannon (Fictional Heavy Cannon)
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. The GAU-90 uses 30mm rounds and has two huge sling hooks notably. It has an attached bayonet and is clearly a long-distance weapon.
Gatling Guns
Gatling-style Guns resembling the M61 Vulcan are seen being fired from Col. Quaritch's Dragon gunship. These might be 20mm rounds.
Tri-pointed Gtaling Guns
Seen on the Dragon Assault Ship, these guns have a pointy tip and fire simultaneously with other weapon systems on the front of the Dragon. File:Dragon Arnaments-Gatling guns, sentry guns,IFF beacon.bmp
