The following weapons were used in the film 28 Weeks Later:
The Browning M2HB heavy machine gun can be seen in both fixed position mounts and atop vehicles in 28 Weeks Later. It is used on screen briefly when the infected break out of the buildings and are fired upon with the Browning M2. Also, when the train carrying the returning refugees pulls into the rail station a fortified position sporting an M2HB is visible through the window.
One of the snipers in an early scene can be briefly seen with a Barrett M107/M82 sniper rifle. It later makes small appearances in the scene where the soldiers snipe the infected from the rooftops.
Used by an Army Sweeper team, this unknown flamethrower is used to burn the dead infected. I could only get one good picture of it, though. Note the other Army Sweeper using an M4 with Ergo rail covers, vertical grip, optics, and magpuls.
The standard assault rifle for the 82nd troops deployed in Britain. Seen in the hands of literally hundreds of troops throughout the movie. Sgt. Doyle (Jeremy Renner) notably wields a highly customized version after he leaves the roof. Just before his sacrifice, he leaves the weapon for Major Scarlet (Rose Byrne), who later uses the night vision to help the kids and herself navigate through the pitch-black subway tunnels. Tammy (Imogen Poots) also uses the weapon at the film’s climax to kill her infected father. She then drops the weapon and leaves it on the subway floor. Doyle's rifle has an EOTech sight, ERGO grip, CAA CBS CAR telescoping stock, PVS-14 NVG sight, and no front post sight. A lot of the non firing M4s are Classic Army airsoft replicas. You can see the white Armalite trademarks on the side and some shots even the winding wheels on the high cap magazines.
Doyle’s (Jeremy Renner) M4’s EOTech sight, with the PVS-14 NVG sight get a lot of screen time. He definitely needs to adjust the crosshairs, though, because of the wild hits. Also because of the lack of a holographic reticle.
[NOTE: NO FAULTY SIGHTS those former men infected are on the move. It takes a while for the 5.56 to reach its target regardless of speed. His sights are on the guys are just bobbing around, remember hes Delta.]
M16A2
A US soldier seen early in the film is armed with an M16A2 rifle.
The Beretta 92FS (standing in for the military-issue M9) is the standard sidearm for the U.S. troops in the movie. Major Scarlet (Rose Byrne) uses one notably to kill an infected Captain, then it is seen in her M12 holster for the remainder of the movie.
The Army’s bolt action Sniper Weapon System is seen briefly in the hands of a rooftop sniper during the beginning of the film and the sniper barrage scene.
A Heckler & Koch MP5A5 equipped with an EOTech sight and double magazines is seen being used by Flynn (Harold Perrineau). He jokingly pulls it on Doyle when he scares him and later when the kids confront him near the end of the movie.
Mk 12 SPR is used by a Delta sniper to kill two survivors, wound Scarlet, and finally shoot at Andy until Doyle scores a headshot and kills him. He was seen firing in semi and full-automatic.
