Revision as of 05:24, 6 November 2010
The following guns were used in the movie The Postman
Handguns
M1911A1
The M1911A1 is seen in the hands of Holnists and is also used by The Postman (Kevin Costner) when he escapes from the Holnists.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
General Bethlehem (Will Patton) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 10 as his sidearm. The same revolver was used just moments before by Ford Lincoln Mercury (Larenz Tate).
Rifles & Carbines
CAR-15
The CAR-15 taken off the Holnists is used by several characters including the Postman (Kevin Costner) as well as Abby (Olivia Williams). They were seen firing in semi-auto, probably indicating that they might be civilian models that weren't converted to full auto.
M1 Carbine
An M1 Carbine is carried by the Postman (Kevin Costner) at the beginning of the film. He loses when he gets captured and it was never seen again.
M14
An M14 is seen in the hands of Ford Lincoln Mercury (Larenz Tate).
Winchester Model 70
A scoped Winchester Model 70 rifle is used by the Holnist Mercer (Rex Linn).
Winchester 1894
A Winchester 1894 is carried ,and used, by Colonel Getty (Joe Santos) of the Holnist Army.
FN FAL with M203 Grenade Launcher
One of the Holnist soldiers is armed with what appears to be an FN FAL with M203 Grenade Launcher. See discussion page.
M16A1
M16A1 rifles can be seen being carried by Holnist soldiers in the background. The Car-15 is carried by Holnist solders who get major camera time.
AK 47 Variant
One of the many Holnist soldiers appears to be carrying an Ak 47 Variant. Unable to determine the exact model.Despite my best efforts the only shot I could find of it remained blurry. However it's likely that it's an AKM considering that the movie was filmed within the continental United States in 1997 and the AKM often served as a double for the AK-47 during the eighties and nineties.
M1 Garand
M1 Garands are used by many of the Postal Carriers.
Shotguns
Mossberg 500
A Mossberg 500 shotgun is seen in the hands of Sheriff Briscoe (Daniel von Bargen).
12 Gauge Single Shot Shotgun
A Cooey Model 84 single shot shotgun is used by Idaho (James Russo).
Double Barreled Shotgun
A 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun is carried by one of the Postal carriers in the army.
Heavy Weaponry
Oerlikon 20mm Cannon
The Holnists use a Oerlikon 20mm Cannon to destroy the town of Benning.
