The following guns were used in the film The Rundown:
(Also released under the title "Welcome to the Jungle")
Remington 870 shotguns are used by Hatcher's (Christopher Walken) men. Beck (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) later wields two akimbo (one with wood furniture, one with synthetic) during the shootout at the end of the film, pumping the actions in various manners to chamber the guns.
A Browning M1919A4 is mounted on one of Hatcher's personnel trucks.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingBrowning M1919A4 designated the M37, with the ability to feed from either the left or the right of the weapon - .30-06. This example is shown without a tripod, only the pintle mount. Most likely version mounted on vehicles - .30-06.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA Browning M1919A4 mounted on the back of a personnel truck.
Hatcher's men use scoped M14 Rifles during the final shootout in the town. These are semi-automatic M14As or M1As since they are missing the auto fire selector switch. Beck (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) at one point takes one of these rifles and fires it one-handed, despite the 9lb weight.
Hatcher's men use SVD Dragunov rifles to fire from the rooftops in the town. The angular, rather than curved shape of the magazine indicates that it is a Norinco NDM-86, a Chinese clone of the SVD that was chambered in .308 rather than the original 7.62x54R cartridge.
The NDM-86 was offered in both 7.62x54R and .308 Winchester. In fact the .308 Winchester NDM-86s had a factory recall: See http://www.cdnninvestments.com/dragunovrecall.html But these are the .308 versions in the film.
Mariana (Rosario Dawson) uses a Norinco SKS Sporter rifle, built to accept actual AK magazines, not to be confused with the aftermarket detachable SKS magazines. Visible in one of the screenshots, we can see the upper contour of the thumbhole stock of the SKS Sporter, so it is not an SKS-M which is a straight stocked SKS with detachable magazines.
Beck takes two M1911A1 pistols from Hatcher's whip carrying men in the bar fight at the beginning of the film, but refusing to use guns to prevent "bad things from happening to people", he unloads the pistols and flees the scene. Travis (Seann William Scott) is also briefly seen firing one during the shootout in the town.
One of the bodyguards in the nightclub at the start of the film has a Walther PPK/S tucked in his wiastband in an IWB holster, and tries to draw it before Beck (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) takes it and unloads it.
