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 The Hurt Locker:
Pistols
Beretta 92 Series
Beretta 92
A Beretta 92 (distinguished by its rounded trigger guard and butt-mounted magazine release) is used by Sergeant First Class William James (Jeremy Renner), most prominently when James stops an Iraqi taxi. Mark Boal, the film's writer, notes on the DVD commentary the gun that was supposed to be used in the scene got stuck in customs, explaining why it changes to the correct Beretta 92FS later in the film.
Beretta 92FS
For the rest of the film, James and Sergeant J.T Sanborn (Anthony Mackie) both use the Beretta 92FS pistol, as noted by the hocked trigger guard and slide-mounted safety.
Glock 23
What appears to be a Glock 23 pistol is carried by the leader of the British private military contractors (Ralph Fiennes). Sergeant J.T Sanborn (Anthony Mackie) takes the contractor's Glock and holds it on his comrades while telling them to.
Rifles
M4A1 Carbine
M4A1 carbines are used by Sergeant First Class William James (Jeremy Renner), Sergeant J.T Sanborn (Anthony Mackie) and Specialist Owen Eldridge (Brian Geraghty), as well as by other American soldiers. The carbines are equipped with a variety of sights and other attachments. Note that throughout the film, their buttstocks interchange between the 3rd and 4th generation stocks (even in the same scenes). The sights and attachments often change too. In particular, for most of the movie, James doesn't have a light on his M4, but one appears on it during the rescue of Eldridge. Also, in one scene, Sanborn's ACOG scope is briefly replaced by a red dot sight, before switching back. A M4A1 is also used by one of the British contractors, although it is never shown very clearly.
M16A4
A few American soldiers carry M16A4 rifles (possibly airsoft replicas, by the unnecessary screws in the A2 stocks), fitted with reflex sights and other attachments.
Kalashnikov Variants

Barrett M107
A Barrett M107 (not a M82 as noted by the full-length accessory rail) is used by the private contractors to respond to an insurgent ambush, and is later used by Sergeants James and Sanborn to shoot several of the attackers. It should be noted that Sanborn and the other EOD members could conceivably know how to operate a Barrett since it can be used to detonate IEDs as an anti-materiel rifle.
FPK/PSL Sniper rifle
A FPK / PSL Sniper Rifle is used by an insurgent sniper who ambushes the EOD team and the private contractors in the desert.
