Revision as of 04:36, 13 May 2011
Ultraviolet is a 2006 sci fi action film, written and directed by Kurt Wimmer, most known to IMFDB users as the writer and Director of Equilibrium. Many of the elements are similar, particularly Violet's version of Gun Kata, however, like most of Ultraviolet, this and many other possibly interesting story points are never explained.
The following weapons were used in the film:
Beretta 92FS
- The Beretta 92FS is the most seen handgun in the entire movie. Nearly everyone has a Beretta 92FS.
Beretta 93R
- Daxus' (Nick Chinlund) weapon of choice for much of the movie is a Beretta 93R.
Daxus' Incendiary Gel Pistol
- Daxus tries to fire his napalm gel gun at Violet, but she flicks her blood and puts out the pilot light on the weapon. Daxus then fires the gun at her, only to propel a glob of flammable gel, which Violet deflects with her sword.
The Incendiary Gel Pistol is a repaint of the Sandman Flame Gun from Logan's Run with the barrel and "magazine" painted silver.
Violet's Auto Pistols
- A completely custom and fictional machine pistol is used in 'flattening technology' and hidden on Violet's body. This is her primary weapon in most battles (and it strongly resembles a staplegun...)
SIG SG-552
- The SIG SG 552 is one of the two most common weapons of the Ministry security forces (The other being the H&K G36C). When comparing the SIG SG-552 rifles to real SIG SG-552s, these appear to be Airsoft copies and not real gun. Note the side rail on the foregrip, which is common on the Airsoft 552.
Heckler & Koch G36C
- The Heckler & Koch G36C is the second main weapon used by the Ministry Security Forces.
Custom AR-15
- One of the Ministry guards has a heavily modified AR-15 variant. It has a huge buttstock pad (more akin to a Boys Anti Tank Rifle), and a large free floating combination hand guard and heat shield. Violet disassembles this gun to use the parts as martial arts weapons.
Custom Cobray M-11/9 / Katana "Combination" guns
- Violet has a pair of what seems to be customized Cobray M11/9 Submachine guns with a twist - Japanese style "Katana" blades extract out of the bottoms of the grips to create a 'combination weapon'. They retract on her command. Though the weapons are design based on the M11/9, they are in fact completely fabricated fantasy guns, made out of synthetic materials and aluminum.
Futuristic Police Shotgun
- Used by pursuing police officers against Violet. They are probably a completely fabricated mockup weapon.
Futuristic "Mini-Gun"
- Used by ministry troops in pursuing helicopters, this "mini-gun" is far too large to be a 7.62mm or even a .50 cal weapon. And it is too small to be a 20mm (the only common "Western" calibers currently available in fast rotating barrel crew weapons). It appears to be a completely fabricated 'fantasy' Mini-gun. Note also the massive ammo rounds (larger than a .50 cal).
Shock Guns
- Used by Ministry Guards, these are extended electric Shock batons, however, they are referred to in pre-production art and the script as "Shock Guns".
Daxus' Katana
- Daxus (Nick Chinlund) wields a massive Katana (sword) with unusual Saw tooth pattern on the leading edge. Though visually intimidating, this actually would greatly reduce the effectiveness of the blade.
- You know, not every sword ever made is a katana. In fact this sword doesn't remotely resemble a katanna, it loooks more like some sort of machete or large knife. And Violet's "katanna" very much resembles a chinese jian. Des 07:41, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
Violets' Katana
- Violet (Milla Jovovich) holds her signature Katana (sword) with an unusual flat 'chisel' shape, with mystical 'Thaihindi' writing on the surface. Again, this design, though intriguing, is an inefficient design for a combat sword.
Gatling Gun Pistol
