The following firearms can be seen in the film The Book of Eli:
Handguns
Heckler & Koch HK45
Eli (Denzel Washington) carries a weathered Heckler & Koch HK45 pistol (an LEM variant as noted by the bobbed hammer and lack of external safety) as his sidearm throughout the film. Even though the pistol had just been out a year when the film was made, the filmmakers wanted it to look like an antique vintage firearm (as this film takes place in the future). The brand new HK45 was sanded and worn down to look very old for the film. In true movie fashion, Eli fires about twice as many rounds as the pistol can hold before reloading. The actual pistol is currently on display at the National Firearms Museum located at the NRA headquarters in Fairfax, VA.
Browning Hi-Power
Carnegie (Gary Oldman) carries a Browning Hi-Power as his weapon of choice throughout the film.
Beretta 92FS
Redridge (Ray Stevenson) is ordered at one point to shoot Eli with his two toned Beretta 92FS pistol.
Colt Police Positive
A Colt Police Positive is seen at the beginning of the film, lying on the ground, unloaded, in the middle of the woods. It is never held or fired, however.
Shotguns
Remington 870 "Witness Protection" Short Shotgun
Eli (Denzel Washington) carries a short barreled Remington 870 "Witness Protection" shotgun, with various weathering and a heavily taped handle.
Remington 870
Another Remington 870 with mag tube extension and saddle shell holder is used by one of Carnegie's men. He is seen most notably at the end loading his shell holder as anarchy breaks out at Carnegie's bar near the end of the film. Other men are seen with different Remington 870's.
Mossberg 500
Another Carnegie henchman uses a Mossberg 500 with wooden furniture.
Winchester 1897 Riot Gun
One of the weapons that George (Michael Gambon) keeps in his home is a Winchester Model 1897 shotgun.
Double Barrel Shotgun
The Engineer (Tom Waits) holds a sawed off double barrel shotgun when Eli comes into the store.
Rifles
AK-47
One of Carnegie's thugs carries an AK-47 (exact variant unknown at this time).
FN FAL
Redridge (Ray Stevenson) carries an FN FAL - Para Variant
Colt M4A1
George uses an M4A1 assault rifle fitted with a foregrip and Aimpoint sight at one point during the assault on his house. Also, the guards at Alcatraz use Colt M4A1 Carbines fitted with red dot sight.
M1903 in a Mannlicher Schönauer Carbine stock
When Eli is walking through the town the camera pans on a man on a roof with a bolt action rifle. This rifle is a sporterized Springfield M1903 Rifle with a Lyman peep sight and fitted into a Mannlicher Schönauer Carbine (Stutzen) stock. The military stock had been replaced, as well as the sights, and likely the parkerized finish was replaced with a blued finish. This was common practice at a time when surplus military rifles were cheaper than sporting rifles. It is the same prop featured in the film A Boy and His Dog, noting the heavy stylistic and atmospheric homage already paid, as well as featuring a poster of the movie.
M1 Carbine
One of Carnegie's men holds an M1 Carbine during the standoff outside the bar and the shootout at George and Martha's house.
Blaser R93 Sporter
What appears to be a Blaser R93 in sporting configuration is held by one of Carnegie's men.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A2
George's wife Martha (Frances de la Tour) uses a Heckler & Koch MP5A2 while defending the home from Carnegie and his men. We can see a MP5K-PDW and a SIG-Sauer P22X pistol in the case.
Heckler & Koch MP7A1
Solara (Mila Kunis) is seen firing a Heckler & Koch MP7A1 while she and Eli are defending George and Martha's house.
Other
Type 69 RPG
Redridge (Ray Stevenson) attacks George and Martha's house with a Chinese Type 69 RPG with a PGO-7 scope.
MK II Hand grenade
Eli uses a Mk 2 hand grenade during the shootout at the house. Solara (Mila Kunis) also spies a Mk 2 hand grenade and throws it to destroy a pursuing car.
Gatling Gun
At one point, Carnegie's men use a hand-cranked Gatling Gun on the house Eli is holed up in.
