Revision as of 13:26, 4 January 2009
The following guns were used in the movie Equilibrium
Beretta 92FS (modified)
Heavily modified Beretta 92FS pistols are used by John Preston (Christian Bale), Brandt (Taye Diggs), DuPont (Angus Macfadyen), Errol Partridge (Sean Bean), and the rest of the Grammaton Clerics throughout the film. The versions used in the movie were converted to automatic with a drop-in auto sear (DIAS) and given longer barrels and modified slides. The non-firing versions also had a selector switch on the side (which does not appear on the firing or "practical" weapons).
The weapons are definitely the 92FS and NOT, contrary to popular belief, the Beretta M93R. The M93R is based on the older model 92-series pistols and still has the frame-mounted safety (whereas the weapons in this movie clearly have the slide-mounted safety) and a folding grip attached to the trigger guard (missing from the weapons in the movie). Although the 92FS is not normally a fully-automatic firearm, conversions are possible with DIAS units and have been done for many Hollywood movies (including Judge Dredd and Underworld).
Heckler & Koch G36 and G36K
The Heckler & Koch G36 is used by many Sweepers throughout the movie, and by Brandt (Taye Diggs) during one of the raids. Preston (Christian Bale) also briefly uses a G36 to kill several guards at the end. The shorter Heckler & Koch G36K is also used by some of the Sweepers.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Heckler & Koch MP5A3s are used by some of the sweepers in the movie.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
A Heckler & Koch MP5K is used by a Sweeper on a motorcycle in one scene.
Walther WA 2000
The Walther WA 2000 is used by a heavily armored Sweeper during one of the raids. Although the weapon is a semi-automatic sniper rifle, it is wielded as though it were a shotgun; the scope and bipod have been removed, and the actor playing the Sweeper pretends to rake a non-existent pump action under the barrel (accompanied by the sound of a shotgun being cocked). The WA 2000 in this movie is also a replica of some sort. It doesn't carry any trademarks at all.
AKM
The AKM is used by one of the resistance members.
IMI Micro Uzi
The IMI Micro Uzi is used by some resistance members.
Skorpion SA Vz.61
The Skorpion SA Vz.61 is used by some of the resistance members.
Remington 870
A Remington 870 with no stock and an Aimpoint is used by the resistance leader Seamus (Dominic Purcell). Some of the Police are also using Remington 870s fitted with flashlights and forward grips. During an altercation with several Sweepers, Preston (Christian Bale) gets a hold of two 870s and uses them to kill their owners.
M16A2
An M16A2 is briefly seen in the hands of a Sweeper whom Preston (Christian Bale) attacks when his wife is arrested, but it changes to a Beretta AR-70 immediately afterwards - this is an obvious continuity error. The same continuity error occurs again in the warehouse when Preston is pistol-whipping a group of Sweepers - they use AR-70s, but in some shots, they all clearly have M16A2s instead.
Beretta AR-70/223
Beretta AR-70/223s are used by many of the Sweepers throughout the film.
Walther MPK
The Walther MPK submachine gun is used by many Sweepers in the film.
FN P90
FN P90s are used by the Sweepers in white suits; these particular weapons are clearly rubber props, as evidenced by the fact that even the magazines (which are transparent on a real P90) are solid black. Kurt Wimmer mentions on the DVD commentary that originally, all of the Sweepers were supposed to use the P90, but the Belgian government did not supply the real live-fire P90s it had promised to the production, only rubber training versions. Most of the weapons used by the Sweepers are, therefore, guns that were loaned by the German government (including the H&K G36s, H&K MP5s, and Walther MPKs).
Glock 17
All of the Sweepers and police in the movie use Glock 17 pistols as their sidearms. Mary O'Brien (Emily Watson) manages to grab one of these pistols from a Sweeper and tries to kill Preston with it before the Sweeper retains control of his weapon.
IMI Uzi
The full sized version can be seen being wielded by a resistance member in the ending when the resistance rise up and overrun the Librian Government buildings.

Ruger Mini-14?
An armored sweeper who's guarding the dog pen is armed with what appears to be a Ruger Mini-14.
Unknown Handgun
An unknown handgun, some kind of small revolver which is put to the back of Preston's head in a raid on the nethers.
