The following guns were used in the movie The Rock
M14
A marine at the funeral during the opening credits can be seen briefly holding an M14 rifle.
Beretta 92FS
The Recon Marines carry Beretta M9FS Pistols as their sidearms, all custom fitted with wooden grips. Beretta M9s are the standard side arm for all the Navy SEALs including Stanley Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage), all with tactical flashlight attachments.
It's actually a 92SB; you can tell because the trigger guard is rounded rather than squared.
Beretta 92FS Inox
During the hotel scene Goodspeed is given a Beretta 92FS Inox from another FBI field agent.
- This is an Inox version of the 92 Centurion; you can tell because the barrel doesn't extend as far past the slide, plus it has a shorter barrel and grip.
M16A2
Marines at the funeral use real M16A2 rifles for the 21 gun salute. It is a goof that they rack the bolts to fire them as funeral guns are usually real guns fitted with a blank firing adapter on the muzzle to allow enough gas pressure to cycle the bolt(as real guns have heavier bolt springs than blank guns. Blank guns need lighter springs to allow the gas pressure to cycle low pressure blank rounds.)
M16A1 w/ M16A2 handguards.
The Marines can be seen armed with M16A1 rifles fitted with M16A2 forend handguards. They are easily noticed as A1 models by the lack of a shell deflector, older forward assists, and fully-automatic firing modes.
M16A1 with M203 Grenade Launcher
Captain Darrow's weapon of choice is an M16A1 fitted with a 40mm M203 launcher.
- Darrow's M16 seems to be missing a forward assist in this picture (I'm looking at the DVD and it's the same when he enters the lighthouse to confront Goodspeed), so it's actually an earlier M16 model. Or at least, the upper receiver only is taken from an early M16.
Colt Commando
Is seen being used by multiple Marines in multiple scenes. Mason and Goodspeed take two for themselves later in the film. The Commandos seen in the film have various receiver styles; some have A1 receivers, others have A2 receivers, and others have the forward assist and brass deflector but not the A2-style rear sight. A notable goof is that the receivers of the guns held by individual characters change throughout the film (for instance, the Commando given to Goodspeed by Mason clearly has an A2 receiver when he first gets it, but later, it has an A1 receiver).
MAC-10
Hummel can be seen holding a MAC-10 in a Vietnam service picture. This image is actually taken from one of Ed Harris' earlier film roles, the Charles Bronson vehicle Borderline.
Colt M1911A1
The main villain of the film, General Frank Hummel (Ed Harris) carries a stainless Springfield Armory M1911A1 as his sidearm of choice throughout the film. It is seen being pulled out by Hummel, who then shoots Sergeant Crisp during the confrontation.
H&K MP5A3
Used by the Navy SEALs during the failed rescue mission of the prison. They have tactical flashlights mounted in the foregrips. John Mason (Sean Connery) uses an MP5A3 he commandeers from a dead SEAL, and uses it in the first half of the movie.
A handful of the MP5s used by the SEALs also appear to have the 4-position trigger group (for safe, semi, 3-round burst, and full-auto), which makes them MP5A5s rather than A3s.
H&K MP5K-PDW
Seen used by one of the SEALs in the shower room, briefly.
Remington 870
A SEAL can be seen using a shortened tactical Remington 870 shotgun.
H&K SP89
Used by one of the SEALs during the failed attempt to save the hostages. It seems to be fitted with the collapsible stock of an MP5A3.
Deftech Launcher
What appears to be a Deftech launcher is used by one of the Marines in the showerroom. It would be useless to use as the rounds would not detonate in such close proximity and if they did, it would be dangerous to him and his fellow men.
M26 Handgrenade
Cpl. Frye can be seen with two M26 Handgrenade which he throws at Mason in an attempt to kill him.
M60E3
A Marine can be seen firing an M60E3 machine gun at Goodspeed when he disables the last rocket. Mason picks it up and knocks the shooter off the roof with it.
LAR Grizzly Big-Bore
When the Marine's M60E3 is empty, he picks up a .50 BMG LAR Grizzly Big-Bore bolt-action rifle to shoot Goodspeed. He is knocked off the roof by Mason before he can use it, though.
"The Protector"
When Goodspeed is messing around in his officer, he shoots a flip down target with a suction dart spring gun labeled "The Protector". It appears to be based off a Mossberg 500 "Crusier" with barrel ribbing.
