The following guns were used in the film Watchmen:
Please note the images used on this page are either promotional material or taken from film trailers and none of it is illegal bootleg.
M79 grenade launcher
The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) 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. He even hits one rioter dead on with a smoke round to the back during the "American Dream" scene.
Flamethrower
The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) uses a Flamethrower to light his cigar with the pilot and then burn a Vietnamese soldier while in Vietnam. He can also be seen posing with it in Movie Posters. It appears to be a fictional mockup not specifically based on any real flamethrowers, although it resembles an M2 Flamethrower in the graphic novel.
M1911A1
The Comedian uses his issued M1911A1 sidearm in the film to kill a pregnant Vietnamese woman when she slashes him with a broken bottle for leaving her and the baby behind behind. A criminal can be seen drawing a 1911 on Dr. Manhatten before he is blown up. A criminal is seen foiled by Nite Owl I while holding a 1911.
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 have "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 M70AB2
Vietnamese Soldiers destroyed by Dr. Manhattan wield folding stock Zastava M70AB2 rifles noted by their folding grenade launcher sights.
CAR-15
Seen in the hands of NYPD and soldiers in Vietnam are CAR-15 carbines with slab-side recievers.
Ruger AC556
SWAT members trying to apprehend Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley) in Molloch's (Matt Frewer) house are seen armed with Ruger AC556 rifles with folding stocks.
Winchester Model 70
Carcano M91/38
The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is seen holding a scoped Carcano M91/38 while watching John F. Kennedy's car drive by. This implies it was him who assassinated JFK and not Lee Harvey Oswald.
Remington 870
The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) poses with a Remington 870 and his M79 grenade launcher in a promotional image.
Ithaca 37
The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) 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, even one so deranged as the Comedian, who as a government agent is expected to follow some rules.

- I know of only one shotgun in the world that ejects shells from the bottom: Ithaca 37 The Winchester
Franchi PA3
A Franchi PA3 is seen in the Comedian's (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) closet when Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley) investigates his home. In the original graphic novel, the only thing seen in the closet was his costume, a MAC-10, and a few knives. His 1911's were seen in his closet in the graphic novel.
Special
M203 grenade launcher
Smith & Wesson Model 10
Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolvers are used by the guards in Riker's prison, one of which is taken by Silk Spectre II (Malin Akerman) and later used to shoot Adrian Veidt (Matthew Goode), who impressively catches the bullet.
Smith & Wesson Model 586
A Smith & Wesson Model 586 with a four inch barrel is used by Roy Chess to fire at Adrian Veidt (Matthew Goode) and shoot three employees (killing two) 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 (Matt Frewer) side after he is murdered in which we see the person planting it unscrews the suppressor and places it next to him. Earlier though when Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley) picks it up, it appears to be a Colt Python, although it is not verified until the DVD comes out.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
When Daniel Dreiberg (Patrick Wilson) and Laurie Juspeczyk (Malin Akerman) fight off "Knot-Tops" in the alleyway, one of them draws a Smith & Wesson Model 36 and fires several shots at Laurie but only succeeds in shooting one of his comrades in the back and is dispatched by Dan.
.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.
M1 Garand
During the opening sequence summing up the past, Hippies stick flowers into US Army Military Policemen's M1 Garand rifles before the M&Ps fire them on the hippies, flowers still in the muzzles. In reality, the M&Ps used M14 Rifles during the Vietnam riots. (Please note these are not bootleg, but are taken from the publicly released opening credits scene)
M1928 Thompson
A thug is seen foiled by The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) in the opening credits while firing an M1928 Thompson into the air.
Sawed Off Double Barrel Shotgun
A Sawed Off Double Barreled Shotgun with exposed hammers is drawn by a criminal before he is blown up by Dr. Manhattan (Billy Crudup).
Rorschach's Grapple Gun
Specifically designed by Nite Owl II/Daniel Dreiberg (Patrick Wilson) for him, Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley) first uses this grapple gun to enter Edward Blake's (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) apartment and later uses it as a weapon to break a SWAT member's collar bone.
