Predators (2010)

Predators is the 2010 sequel to the films Predator and Predator 2. Produced by Robert Rodriguez, it stars Adrien Brody as Royce, a mercenary captured and sent to a Predator homeworld along with seven other 'human' predators.


AA-12

Royce (Adrien Brody), the leader of the humans carries an AA-12 automatic 12 Gauge shotgun throughout the movie, it is fitted with a drum magazine loaded with Frag-12 rounds, accompanied by a Surefire M900 weaponlight foregrip, and custom camo paint that appears to be similar to the US Army's pixelized UCP pattern.

M134 Hand held Minigun

Nikolai (Oleg Taktarov), a member of the Russian FSB Alfa Group carries a hand-held M134 Minigun substituting for a GShG 7.62mm machinegun thats described in the script, reminiscent of the gun used by Jesse Ventura in the original film. When Nikolai first uses the Minigun a stoppage occurs. Nikolai is forced to fix the jam and reload the weapon. Nikolai later uses the Minigun to slay two Predator hounds and to lay down suppressing fire on Predators before the gun is destroyed in battle by a well aimed shot from a Predator Plasmacaster. A lot of the firing scenes were shot with a prop weapon with a CG muzzle flash added. When the weapon is first introduced a real gun is used for some closeups while Nikolai is firing it.

Blaser R93 LRS2

Isabelle (Alice Braga), an IDF sniper, carries a Blaser R93 Sniper Rifle fitted with an Elcan DigitalHunter scope (substituting for the Heckler & Koch PSG1 described in the script). In several scenes, we hear the scope adjusting even though she isn't hitting any of the buttons. Isabelle uses this weapon to take down Predator hounds and uses it to wound a Predator near the film's finale. She also attempts to take down another hunted alien but after what appears to be a great shot at a fast moving target, she notes that she actually missed.

Sorry, but I think that this SIG Sauer Tactical 2 (http://www.sigsauer.com/Products/ShowCatalogProductDetails.aspx?categoryid=31&productid=246)

What leads you to that conclusion? -- K 98.118.59.244 23:36, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

The description from the link says the rifle is by Blaser (synonym probably).

The Rifle is a Blaser R93 Tactical 2 or LRS2 no way to tell without seeing it from te right side. In the US Blaser is marketed by SigSauer.

AKMS

Mombasa (Mahershalalhashbaz Ali) , a member of an RUF death squad, carries an AKMS rifle with the stock folded up throughout the movie, he once uses it to save Stans from an attacking Predator Hound when they first encounter them.

Heckler & Koch MP5K

Cuchillo (Danny Trejo), a Mexican Drug Cartel enforcer, is seen with two Heckler & Koch MP5K's fitted with braided leather covers on the foregrips strapped to his back, in a manner similar to Chuck Norris' Mini Uzi harness in Invasion U.S.A..

Heckler & Koch HK45 w' Compensator

The main sidearm of Isabelle (Alice Braga). She draws it to face a Predator Hound after her rifle runs dry. She fires a couple of rounds at an approaching hound to no avail then prepares to kill herself with it for a painless death before the Predator Hound can get her, only to be saved at the last minute when the Predators call the Hounds back.

Hanzo fires his Beretta, eyes open, showing the odd muzzle flash produced by the compensator. Note that this muzzle flash is more commonly seen on rifles with muzzle breaks and that a 9mm pistol is not capable of such a large muzzle flash.

M1911A1

Royce (Adrien Brody) carries an M1911A1 as his sidearm of choice, and can be seen when he reaches for it in the beginning of the film when Cuchillo (Danny Trejo) is threatening to shoot him.

M18A1 Claymore

When Nikolai (Oleg Taktarov) sees Noland's weapons cache, he eyes a M18A1 Claymore anti-personnel mine on the table. He's startled because its a Vietnam-era Claymore, revealing just how long Noland has been on the planet. Nikolai apparently grabbed the Claymore mine offscreen, because he is seen using it prominently later.

Noland's weapons cache

When the group are taken to Noland's cave, they see he's collected a mixture of weapons, some human and some alien. There's also a grenade launcher of some sort, used to fire a flare.
