Far Cry is the film adaptation of the popular PC/console first-person shooter Far Cry by director Uwe Boll. It stars Til Schweiger as the protagonist, Jack Carver, who (despite having an American name, as per the source material) is supposed to be German (!?!).
Many of the mercenaries working for Dr. Krieger (Udo Kier) carry Gen 2 Glock 17s as their sidearms. Jack Carver (Til Schweiger) uses Glock 17s several times after taking them from slain or incapacitated mercenaries, and Katja Chernov (Natalia Avelon) can also be seen using one in at least one scene.
Many mercenaries also carry SIG-Sauer P226s as sidearms. Near the end of the film, Jack Carver (Til Schweiger) is given a P226 by Jason Parker (Craig Fairbass), the leader of the mercenaries, and uses it to hold Dr. Krieger (Udo Kier) hostage.
In a few shots, Carver is holding what appears to be a rail-frame SIG P226R. Since his weapon transforms into an older-model non-rail P226 for firing scenes, it is likely that this is an airsoft replica of a P226R.

Walther P99
Katja Chernov (Natalia Avelon) uses a two-tone Walther P99 with a stainless slide and raised sights as her sidearm for almost the entire movie.
Near the climax, Jack Carver grabs a Franchi SPAS-12 with its stock removed while being pursued by a super-soldier, and uses it for the subsequent gunfight.
Many of the mercenaries use Heckler & Koch MP5A3s with Surefire grips, Navy trigger groups, and red-dot sights. There is also at least one MP5A3 in the movie which is fitted with an M203 grenade launcher, a configuration very similar to the weapon from End of Days (and Half-Life). Also, at least one of the MP5s has a four-position trigger group, which means it is an MP5A5 rather than an A3.
Many of the mercenaries use Heckler & Koch G36K carbine assault rifles, most fitted with vertical grips. Some have the dual-sight carry handle, while others do not.
Many mercenaries use M4A1 carbines fitted with RIS foregrips and Aimpoint M68 scopes. A few seem to be Olympic Arms K3B copies (including the one used by Parker).

If you enlarge this image to full-size, it's possible to see that Parker's rifle has a "Stowaway" pistol grip, which means that the rifle (or at least its lower receiver) was manufactured by Olympic Arms.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA mercenary fires his M4A1 at Dr. Krieger. Curiously, this same soldier was using an M16A4 only moments before, which is a continuity error.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAnother mercenary with an M4 is killed by one of Krieger's bodyguards after Parker orders his men to mutiny.
M16A4
One of the mercenaries uses a kitted-out M16A4 near the climax. Judging by the olive drab furniture, his M16A4 may actually be an Armalite copy (an M-15 A4 or some similar model). Due to a continuity error, this mercenary goes from using an M16A4 to an M4A1 when he shoots at Dr. Krieger.
Near the climax, when the super-soldiers are escaping, a guard in the labs opens fire on one of the super-soldiers with an M60 machine gun. The super-soldier kills him and then mans the M60 himself, using it to shoot at Jack Carver.
Many of the mercenaries' Humvees are fitted with what appear to be turret-mounted DShK heavy machine guns, but these are actually dressed-up Browning M2HB machine guns.
An RPG-7 is used by one of the mercenaries to destroy Jack Carver's boat. For some reason, it is portrayed as a mortar-type weapon (he fires it high into the air, and then the rocket hits the boat as it comes back down to Earth).
When Jack Carver and Valerie Cardinal (Emmanuelle Vaugier) are being chased by Chernov and the mercenaries, Valerie finds a bag of M67 hand grenades in the back of the SUV.
Pat, the woman who owns the boat company Jack works(rather, contracts) for, has an air-rifle that she uses to shoot at Jack and wake him up after his hard drinking nights.
