Revision as of 04:22, 3 December 2009
The following weapons were used in the film 28 Weeks Later:
Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun
The Browning M2HB heavy machine gun can be seen in both fixed position mounts and atop vehicles in 28 Weeks Later. It is used on screen briefly when the infected break out of the buildings and are fired upon with the Browning M2. Also, when the train carrying the returning refugees pulls into the rail station a fortified position sporting an M2HB is visible through the window.
Barrett M107/M82
One of the snipers in an early scene can be briefly seen with an M107/M82 sniper rifle. It later makes small appearances in the scene where the soldiers snipe the infected from the rooftops.
Unknown Flamethrower
Used by an Army Sweeper team, this unknown flamethrower is used to burn the dead infected. I could only get one good picture of it, though. Note the other Army Sweeper using an M4 with Ergo rail covers, vertical grip, optics, and magpuls.
M4/M4A1
The standard assault rifle for the 82nd troops deployed in Britain. Seen in the hands of literally hundreds of troops throughout the movie. Sgt. Doyle (Jeremy Renner) notably wields a highly customized version after he leaves the roof. Just before his sacrifice, he leaves the weapon for Scarlet (Rose Byrne), who later uses the night vision to help the kids and herself navigate through the pitch-black subway tunnels. Tammy (Imogen Poots) also uses the weapon at the film’s climax to kill her infected father. She then drops the weapon and leaves it on the subway floor. Doyle's rifle has an EOTech sight, ERGO grip, CAA CBS CAR telescoping stock, and a PVS-14 NVG sight.
Faulty Sights
Doyle’s (Jeremy Renner) M4’s EOTech sight, with the PVS-14 NVG sight get a lot of screen time. He definitely needs to adjust the crosshairs, though, because of the wild hits. Also because of the lack of a holographic reticle.
M4 + M203
A few soldiers are seen with the M203 launcher attached to their M4 carbines.
M16A2 + M203
A soldier is seen on patrol with an M16A2 + M203.
Beretta 92FS
The Beretta 92FS (standing in for the military-issue M9) is the standard sidearm for the U.S. troops in the movie. Scarlet (Rose Byrne) uses one notably to kill an infected Captain, then it is seen in her M12 holster until the end of the movie.
M21 DMR
M21 Designated Marksmen Rifle is used by most of the Delta rooftop snipers. Doyle (Jeremy Renner) also uses one, with a Parker Hale bipod and urban camouflaging.
Designated Marksman Rifle 7.62x51mm NATO with folding bipod.
M240B Machine Gun
Seen briefly being fired when the infected are breaking out and also on an Army PT boat.
M249 SAW
M249 SAW Squad Automatic Weapon is used by several U.S. Army soldiers throughout.
Maybe it's the angle, but the soldier in that second screenie looks like he's holding a Shrike, not a SAW. Spartan198 That is not a Shrike that is a SAW it just doesn't have the heatshield on.
M24 SWS
The Army’s bolt action Sniper Weapon System is seen briefly in the hands of a rooftop sniper during the beginning of the film and the sniper barrage scene.
MP5A5
A Heckler & Koch MP5A5 equipped with an EOTech sight and double magazines is seen being used by Flynn (Harold Perrineau). He jokingly pulls it on Doyle when he scares him and later when the kids confront him near the end of the movie.
Mk 12 SPR
Mk 12 SPR is used by a Delta sniper to kill two survivors, wound Scarlet, and finally shoot at Andy until Doyle scores a headshot and kills him. He was seen firing in semi and full-automatic.
Mossberg 500
Seen being held by a soldier. It is never seen again, though.
Heckler & Koch USP
Doyle (Jeremy Renner) seems to have a Heckler & Koch USP in a thigh holster. It may be used as a placeholder for the Mark 23 Mod 0.
