== Heckler & Koch G36 ==


The [[H&K G36|Heckler & Koch G36]] is used by a large amount of sweepers and by Brandt ([[Taye Diggs]]) during one of the raids, and by Preston ([[Christian Bale]]) at the end. The [[H&K G36#Heckler & Koch G36K|Heckler & Koch G36K]] is used by some of the sweepers.
 
== Beretta 92FS (modified)==
 
Heavily modified [[Beretta M92F|Beretta 92FS]] pistols are used by John Preston ([[Christian Bale]]), Brandt ([[Taye Diggs]]), DuPont ([[Angus Macfadyen]]), Partridge ([[Sean Bean]]), and the rest of the Grammaton Clerics throughout the film. The versions used in the movie were converted to automatic with a drop-in auto sear (DIAS) and given longer barrels and modified slides. The non-firing versions also had a selector switch on the side (which does not appear on the firing or "practical" weapons).
 
The weapons are definitely the 92FS and NOT, contrary to popular belief, the [[Beretta M93R]]. The M93R is based on the older model 92-series pistols and still has the frame-mounted safety (whereas the weapons in this movie clearly have the slide-mounted safety) and a folding grip attached to the trigger guard (missing from the weapons in the movie). Although the 92FS is not normally a fully-automatic firearm, conversions are possible with DIAS units and have been done for many Hollywood movies (including ''[[Judge Dredd]]'' and ''[[Underworld]]'').

Equilibrium (2002)


Beretta 92FS (modified)

Heavily modified Beretta 92FS pistols are used by John Preston (Christian Bale), Brandt (Taye Diggs), DuPont (Angus Macfadyen), Partridge (Sean Bean), and the rest of the Grammaton Clerics throughout the film. The versions used in the movie were converted to automatic with a drop-in auto sear (DIAS) and given longer barrels and modified slides. The non-firing versions also had a selector switch on the side (which does not appear on the firing or "practical" weapons).

The weapons are definitely the 92FS and NOT, contrary to popular belief, the Beretta M93R. The M93R is based on the older model 92-series pistols and still has the frame-mounted safety (whereas the weapons in this movie clearly have the slide-mounted safety) and a folding grip attached to the trigger guard (missing from the weapons in the movie). Although the 92FS is not normally a fully-automatic firearm, conversions are possible with DIAS units and have been done for many Hollywood movies (including Judge Dredd and Underworld).
