Revision as of 07:14, 31 August 2010
The following guns are seen in the American version of Godzilla (1998):
Heckler & Koch HK94A3 (mocked-up as MP5A3)
The French DGSE agents, including (Jean Reno) as Agent Philip Roche, bring Heckler & Koch HK94A3 carbines, converted to Heckler & Koch MP5A3 submachine guns, when they infiltrate Zilla (the movie's Godzilla)'s nest in Madison Square Garden (one of which has a Surefire flashlight grip). Some of the U.S. soldiers in the movie are also seen with MP5A3s.
M16A2
The M16A2 is used by U.S. Army personnel throughout the movie to shoot at Zilla (it is also possible that some of them might actually be M16A1s with M16A2 handguards, which is common in action movies from the 1990s). During the scene in the French DGSE warehouse, several agents are seen unloading crates full of these weapons and lying them on tables.
M4A1
During the second scene in which Zilla confronts the U.S. Army, several soldiers are seen firing M4A1 carbines at Zilla, which have had their carry handles removed and replaced with C-More sights, and have something attached directly above the barrel, similar to the M4A1 in Air Force One.
AK-47
AK-47 rifles can be seen in the hands of Ukrainian soldiers when they arrived in the Chernobyl exclusion zone via helicopter. From these scenes, it appears the Ukrainian soldiers are armed with the original, milled-receiver AK-47s and not the more modern AKM and AK-74 rifles the real-life Ukrainian Army is armed with. Note that they inaccuratley exit a 1950's era Boeing Shawnee tandem rotor helicopter of US Origin.
SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper shotgun
When Zilla charges a U.S. Army roadblock, some of the soldiers are shown firing at him with, oddly, Street Sweeper shotguns, a weapon that has never been used by any branch of the U.S. military.
DefTech 37mm launcher
Some of the U.S. soldiers in the movie are shown using Defense Technology (DefTech) 37mm multi-shot launchers, including Doug Savant as Sergeant O'Neil. Some are also seen on a table in the DGSE warehouse where weapons are being unpacked. As in most Hollywood movies, the DefTech (and similar 37mm launchers) is inaccurately depicted as a weapon capable of firing HE grenades, whereas in real life it can only fire less-than-lethal ordnance.
M60
The M60 machine gun appears in the film, usually mounted on Humvees shown firing at Zilla (both the regular and E3 versions make appearances).
M136 AT4
Some of the U.S. soldiers in the film fire at Zilla with M136 (AT4) rocket launchers. More are also visible in the DGSE warehouse where the weapons are being unpacked.
SPAS 15
When the military has set its first trap and is waiting for Zilla to show up, at least one soldier can be seen wielding a Franchi SPAS 15 combat shotgun, yet another weapon which is not used by the U.S. military.
Browning M2
Used by the U.S Army.
