Revision as of 18:42, 17 April 2012
Superman Returns is the 2006 film that continues the story of Superman. Directed by Bryan Singer (X-Men), the film stars Brandon Routh as the Man of Steel. The film follows the events of Superman II while completely disregarding the events of Superman III and Superman IV. It also features a reappearance of Marlon Brando (via newly discovered footage) as Jor-El.
The following guns can be seen in the movie Superman Returns:
"BFG XP/50 Mk. II"
This fictional 8 barreled Gatling gun is seen used by a bank robber. On the side of the weapon is stenciled "BFG XP/50 Mk. II." The Gatling gun is supported by a miniature crane allowing the gunner to move it around and aim in all directions. Based on the distance between the first and the second round fired in bullet time (assuming a muzzle velocity of about 850m/s), the weapon is firing at an insane rate somewhere in the neighborhood 25,000 RPM.
Barrett M82
When the police arrive, a police sniper comes out and aims his Barrett M82 at the building until he's fired upon by the robber with the Gatling cannon.
M1911A1
After realizing that the minigun is useless, the bank robber goes to Superman, draws a nickel plated M1911A1 and shoots Superman in the eye, but like his minigun, it's useless and has no effect (Blanks were obviously too dangerous at that range, but it's also obviously CGI due to a smaller muzzle flash and the lack of a cycling bolt).
Colt Python
Two security guards use Colt Python revolvers against the bank robber, but with no effect as he is wearing a bullet proof suit. Notice the full lug underneath the barrel and the vented rib above the barrel.
Glock 17
Police officers at the robbery are armed with Glock 17s.
BGM-71 TOW
A BGM-71 TOW is seen used by Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey) on his ship when he uses it to fire a modified kryptonite which grows and sprouts into landmass. Note how it's polished.
