Revision as of 13:20, 15 October 2008
The following weapons were used in the movie Cloverfield:
M16A2 Rifle
Used by the US Army in the first engagement with the monster that is taped by Hud. These rifles could be M16A2 uppers on A1 lowers. However many seem to be firing 3 round bursts in rapid succession, so they could be M16A2s.
In the military medical station (in the department store) a clearer shot of the M16A2 rifles can be seen.
M4A1 Rifle
Used by the US Army in the first engagement with the monster that is taped by Hud. Some are seen with Iron sights. Also used by US. Army members in the news segment that is being aired in the electronics store, the M4A1 being used by some of the personnel have the detachable carry handle mounted on the top of the receiver with Aimpoint sights and ANPEQ-2 IR designators.
Many of the M4s seen in the film have the carry handles attached to the flat top receivers and scopes mounted on the top.
FGM-148 Javelin
Used by the US Army in the first engagement with the monster that is taped by Hud.
M2 Browning machine gun
Seen mounted on the US. Army humvees. Also seen mounted on M109 howitzer artillery pieces.
AT-4
Used by the US Army in the first engagement with the monster that is taped by Hud.
Unidentified Auto Cannon
Mounted on top of the mobile Artillery pieces during the first major assault, these fire multiple bursts of large caliber ammo at the Cloverfield Monster. They could be modified 50 cal guns or mockups of the Bushmaster 25mm Auto cannon. Noting their placement on the M109s, they 'should' be 50 cals. Later on in the film, we do see M109s with recognizable .50 cal guns mounted on the turret.
M-109 Howitzer
In this example, a gunner tries to jump off the M109 Howitzer with .50 cal gun, before it is crushed by the monster's massive foot.
- Just an FYI...the "M109" in this scene is actually a British FV433 "Abbot" self-propelled gun that is standing in for the M109. Likewise, the M1 Abrams tank seen in this movie is a visually modified Centurion tank.
