Error creating thumbnail: File missing The Book of Eli (2010)The following weapons were used in the film The Book of Eli :
Error creating thumbnail: File missing WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
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.

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.
