The following guns were used in the movie Watchmen
- I just got back from watching this in theatres and will add what I saw now while it is fresh in my mind. After I list them poorly, I'll add pics and links. - Gunmaster45
M79 grenade launcher
The Comedian uses an M79 grenade launcher to fire smoke rounds at people trying to vandalize the buildings with the phrase "Who watches the Watchmen?" in the rioting crowds.
M1911A1
The Comedian uses his issued M1911A1 sidearm in Vietnam to kill a Vietnamese women who slashes him with a broken bottle after he tells her he is leaving her and their baby behind. A criminal can be seen beaten by the old Night Owl armed with a 1911 and a criminal tries to draw his 1911 on Dr. Manhatten before being blow up.
D&L Sports Professional Model Longslides
The Comedian's sidearms right up to his murder are custom 1911 D&L Sports Professional Model Longslides with ornate smiley-face grips to match the Comedian logo. They ahve "Nixon 1970" written on the grips, indicating they were a gift from Nixon for serving in the Vietnam war. At the beginning of the film, Comedian tries to bring up one of his 1911s to combat the attacking assailant in his home but fires off one stray shot to no avail and is disarmed. For the most part, these guns are only seen in his holsters or in a presentation case any other time.
Zastava M70B
Vietnamese Soldiers destroyed by Dr. Manhattan wield folding stock Zastava M70B AK rifles noted by their folding grenade launcher sights. I don't believe these were ever issued to Vietcong (input?)
CAR-15
Seen in the hands of NYPD and soldiers in Vietnam. They have slab-side recievers.
Ruger AC556
SWAT members trying to apprehend Rorshach in Molloch's house are seen armed with Ruger AC556 rifles with folding stocks.
Winchester Model 70
Carcano M91/38
Used by the Comedian to kill JFK.
- Now THAT wasn't in the novel!
- It is hinted at though by Veidt, he says Comedian and Nixon were both in Dallas, but he didn't know why. Hinting that he suspected Comedian of the assassination on behalf of Tricky Dick.
- I liked how he referenced that he killed the two guys from the watergate scandal. - Gunmaster45
Remington 870 Shotgun
The Comedian poses with his Remington 870 and his M79 grenade launcher.
Ithaca 37
The Comedian fires on rampaging crowd members with an Ithaca 37 shotgun. It is unclear but it is assumed he is using rubber shot or else he is murdering civilians, which seems unbecoming of a vigilante.
Franchi PA3
Seen in the Comedian's closet when Rorschach investigates his home. In the original graphic novel, the only thing seen in the closet was his costume, a MAC-10, a few knives and his 1911's and holsters.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolvers are used by the guards in Ryker's prison, one of which is taken by Silver Spectre II and later used to shoot Adrian Veidt, who impressively catches the bullet.
Smith & Wesson Model 686
A Smith & Wesson Model 686 with a four inch barrel is used by Roy Chess to shoot at Adrian Veidt and kill two emplyees (wounds one) before Veidt hits him with a pole. In the novel the gun was a Beretta Cheetah modeled gun.
Walther PPK
A Walther PPK is left at Molloch's side after he is murdered in which we see the person planting it unscrews the suppressor and places it next to him. Early though when Rorschach picks it up, it appears to be a Colt Python, although it is not verified until the DVD comes out.
.22 Revolver
An unknown .22 revolver is seen drawn by the man who murdered the little girl and he draws it when entering his house but it is disarmed by Rorschach.
