Nice, but where's the trigger? This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it. |
The following weapons appear in the film Avatar:
Modified M60 machine gun
A modified M60 machine gun is used as a door gun on the SA-2 Samson tiltrotors, and as a assault rifle by the ten-foot-tall Avatars. The weapon uses a detachable drum magazine (very closely resembling an MG42, MG3 maybe?) instead of a ammo belt. Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) uses this during the Thanator attack and the final battle until he pulls out his grenades. Norm Spellman (Joel David Moore) uses one during the final battle as well.
Modified unknown Bullpup rifle
Seen used by the RDA SecFor on Pandora in the trailers. According to the "Human Hardware" featurette the weapons are made by the fictional company "MATANZA ARMS CORP.". The props, realized by Weta Workshop, have been build in at least 2 variants: the Standard Issue Rifle and the Personal Defence Weapon. From a closer inspection of the weapons, it appears that the rifles are built around either the Ruger AC-556 series automatic rifles or the M14 rifle (note the ejection ports on the rifles in the picture below). Col. Quaritch (Stephen Lang) fires one at the escaping Samson helicopter before switching to his revolver.
Some rifles look like they have under-barrel attachments that could be a shot gun or a grenade launcher, however they were never fired during the film.
Modified unknown Bullpup pump-action shotgun
Seen used by RDA operatives in the trailers. It looks like a Steyr AUG. Trudy Chacon (Michelle Rodriguez) is seen armed with one in the film.
all AVATAR Human's weapon are made on the same base: something based on a modified L96A1 or FN-2000 Stock, like the Crye MC-R weapon project.
weapons of the movie appear to be resin casted
pictures can be seen here : http://www.france-airsoft.fr/forum/index.php?showtopic=126682&view=findpost&p=1826305
Modified handgun
Seen used by a SecFor member before he is pulled off the gunship. A major handguard has been added to the actual weapon. Trudy Chacon (Michelle Rodriguez) uses a Modified Handgun to break Jake (Sam Worthington), Norm (Joel David Moore) and Grace (Sigourney Weaver) out of jail and then passes it to Jake when she goes to start up the Samson.
Modified General Dynamics GAU-19/A
The GAU-19 is seen used as door guns on the Aerospatiale SA-2 Samson, and on the Valkyrie that is used as a bomber. Trudy's Samson, had two auto fired during the battle for the tree of souls.
"WASP gun" - Custom Break-open Revolver
Seen in the hands of Colonel Quaritch (Stephen Lang) in promotional stills. Also used by him in the movie when he tries to stop the fleeing Samson helicopter, and during the final battle to try to dislodge Jake. Name taken from the book "Avatar Survival Guide".
Flamethrower (Chem/Term Incinerator)
Prop seen in the "Human Hardware" featurette. In the movie it is used briefly by a mercenary to burn plant life during the final battle sequence. According to the "Pandorapedia", a similar but bigger weapon would be an optional equipment for the AMP suit; however this system is not visible in the movie.
Fictional 30mm autocannon the "GAU-90"
Carried like rifles by the AMP suits. Col. Miles Quartich (Stephen Lang) and Cpl. Lyle Wainfleet (Matt Gerald) use GAU-90's on their suits during the final battle.
