Gamer is a 2009 sci-fi/action thriller taking place in the near future, when advanced mind-control technology enables real humans to be controlled in vast multi-player on-line games.
The following weapons are used in the movie Gamer:
Pistols
Beretta 92FS
A Beretta 92FS is used by Kable (Gerard Butler) under the control of the villain to assassinate a fellow soldier and be framed for murder.
Custom Mateba Unica 6
Kable uses a fictional Mateba variant (the same that appeared in the film Serenity), while trying to rescue his wife (Amber Valletta) from Society City.
FN FiveseveN
During the opening battle, Kable pulls out a FN FiveseveN while reloading his rifle, and uses it to execute another Slayer.
Submachine Guns
FN-P90
The FN P90 submachine gun is the standard firearm for the prison guards guarding the "Slayers". Later in the movie a group of "Slayers" are seen armed with P90s with laser sights, when Castle sends them to kill Kable and his wife in Society City.
Heckler & Koch UMP-9
Another "Slayer" in the first mission appears to be using a Heckler & Koch UMP-9.
Rifles
Heckler & Koch G36C
Kable's standard weapon in Slayers is the G36C rifle. Like all the Slayers' weapons, the rifle has an electronic safety mechanism that renders the weapon useless when the game is not in progress. On some movie posters, the G36C with CM203 is outlined and identified as an "M4" even with a little line drawing of an M4 in a box (seen above). Any eight-year-old can see that they don't resemble each other.
Heckler & Koch G36K
Kable uses a G36K rifle fitted with a Beta-C magazine and a foregrip during his 28th game of 'Slayers'.
FN F2000
F2000 Tactical rifles are used by most of the "Slayers". This appears to be the "starter" weapon for all beginning- and lower-level Slayers. As they survive more battles, the Slayer's "Gamer" can purchase newer weapons and modifications. All of the weapons used by the "Slayers" have a safety mechanism attached on the front sights that renders the weapon useless when the game is not in progress.
Later in the movie, "Slayers" sent by Castle to kill Kable and his wife in Society City are armed with FN F2000 Tacticals; in place of the electronic safeties, these rifles have laser sights attached.
That FN 2000 is missing a barrel
CIS SAR-21
A "Slayer" in one sequence appears to be using a CIS SAR-21 rifle.
Shotguns
Saiga 12
Hackman (Terry Crews) uses a modified Saiga-12 shotgun in a pistol-grip-only (PGO) form as his main weapon, before it is later taken by Kable when he decides to escape Slayers. The weapon has a 10-inch barrel with a muzzle attachment, serving as an adapter that allows the stock length gas system to cycle blanks. Above the gas tube is a standard rail similar to the UltiMAK, and a unknown sighting system, which in the film is revealed to be a safety device which allows or prevents the weapon from firing after a battle is over. The drum, a 20 round "Wraithmaker" is apparently filled with solid slugs. The forward grip appears stock.
During the 29th game of Slayers, Hackman aims the weapon at Kable and pulls the trigger, only for the electronic safety to re-engage. In defiance of all logic, the gun expends the unfired shell down the barrel to plop on Kable's head, as if emphasizing how close he came to dying (i.e., as if the safety interrupted the firing before the hammer hit the round, but still allowed the round to be ejected).
This is likely the same Saiga shotgun seen in The Expendables, again wielded by Terry Crews.
Machine Guns
Browning M1919
Browning M1919 machine guns with barrel shrouds are carried by a few of the Slayers, and are also used as automated turrets during the games.
M249 SAW Paratrooper
One of the "Slayers" of the game is shown firing a M249 Paratrooper machine gun with a large barrel shroud and a side-mounted foregrip.
Other
Cobray 37mm Launcher
Later in the movie, Kable is upgraded to a Heckler & Koch G36C fitted with a Cobray 37mm Launcher, which fires a "smart" grenade with multiple guided antipersonnel warheads.
Flamethrower
Flamethrowers are used by some of the Slayers, most noticeably during Kable's 28th battle.
Note the pistol gripped Shotgun acting as trigger and grips for the flamethrower
Unknown
Unknown Pistol
During the 27th battle, a Slayer in the background is using a handgun which has yet to be identified
Kinda looks like a glock of some sorts
