Revision as of 21:43, 14 September 2009
The following weapons are seen in this movie.
Mal's gun/Dressed up Taurus Model 85
Malcolm Reynold's (Nathan Fillion) signature pistol is a Taurus Model 85 revolver completely covered by a brass casting which makes it look like an semi-auto handgun. The Look of the weapon is based on the Volcanic repeaters used in the civil war (pictured below) as explained by TV show and film creator Joss Whedon in the visual companion.
The same prop gun was used for the feature, but given to a new prop house who made the clip straight on the bottom, and bulked up the right side plate and added a spring loaded rear sight.
Winchester Model 92 Mare's Leg
Zoe's signature weapon is a Winchester Model 92 carbine cut down to pistol length and mounted with a "scope". The piece is similar to the one popularized by Steve McQueen in the western TV series Wanted: Dead or Alive.
As seen without the scope in the TV series Firefly, and originated for the Show Wanted: Dead or Alive
Jayne's Custom M1911
Throughout the film, Jayne carries an M1911 like pistol with dressings to the front and rear of the slide to make it look more futuristic. For a scene, River stole it from Jane and held Mal at gun point while she searches for the planet Miranda.
H&K MP5K
Jayne Cobb's other main weapon is a dressed up H&K MP-5K with the front hand grip removed and LED lights added, carried on a chest harness. A similar example is used prominently by Kaylee in the final firefight. It also uses the old straight type magazine. Wash also held one when they were searching Miranda.
M1A1 Carbine
A pair of folded M1A1 Carbines are seen in the gun rack on the back of the "Mule" hovercraft at the beginning of the film.
Vetterli M1869/71
During the payroll robbery scene, a bank clerk is briefly seen carrying a cut-down Swiss Vetterli M1869/71 rifle, identifiable by its spurred trigger guard.
Type 94 or Kyuuyon-Shiki Kenjuu
During the payroll robbery scene, a customer is seen producing a Japanese T-94 pistol before being sensed by River and disarmed by Zoe. The history behind this handgun is that it is one of the worst in the Japanese military during WWII. It is hard to tell from the screen that this is even a Type 94 at all.
Enfield No.2 Mk.I*
During the fight scene in the bar, a patron pulls a heavily-modified Enfield No.2 Mk.I revolver before being subdued by River, who takes it and aims it at Mal. It has the barrel cut back into the frame, a shortened grip, and a number of attachments to the front and rear of the frame.
There is a very good chance the base gun under all that crap is a webley/enfield 380 snub nosed revolver.
Dressed up MP5SD
Dressed up MP5SDs are carried by several characters throughout the movie, most notably Jayne first scene in the bank job and remained his primary weapon for the rest of the film and also Simon during the final firefight. They have some kind of scope attachment which looks more like a flashlight. There's dressings on the front end of the barrel and on the fore end of the weapon. It like, Jayne's MP5k, also uses the straight type magazines.
Armalite AR-18
An AR-18 modified with a handguard and front sight similar to a MAT-49 submachine gun is carried by Mal at several points in the movie, most notably while searching the abandoned city on Miranda, and before the final firefight. It has some sort of scope attachment and the magazine has some kind of dressing maybe a magpull.
Dressed up bullpup AK-47
During the final firefight, Jayne carries a rather large rifle which appears to be built around an AK converted into bullpup configuration. An ACOG scope as well as a large number of parts are attached to disguise it, including what appears to be the water jacket from a Vickers machine gun.
Update: Dec 19th 08: The base gun is a Romarm Romak 1 Bullpup 7.62x39

Mateba
This gun is held by River Tam on the poster, and may be used in the final fight by Jayne Cobb, and Zoe.
Winchester 1897 "Trench Gun"
During the search on Miranda and at the beginning of the final fight, Zoe used this shotgun, which had a scope mounted on it. It's a dressed up WWII 1897 trench shotgun.
Alliance Weapons
Most of the weapons used by Alliance forces in the film are modified paintball markers of various makes and models. These were sold to private collectors and movie museums through the auction house "Propstore of London" after the film wrapped.
This is weapon is based on a Psycho Ballistics Silver Bullet heavily cut up and modded.
This weapon is a dressed-up Worr Game Products Autococker 2004 Prostock.
This is the hero stunt gun used by "The Operative" against Mal in the final fight between them as Mal tried to make it to the "hard to get to" back up signal generator.
