Deacons for Defense is a 2005 Showtime movie that was inspired by a true story of a group of African American citizens of Bogalusa, Louisiana, who took up arms to protect themselves from the KKK and the local law. The film stars Forest Whitaker, Jonathan Silverman and Ossie Davis and was directed by Bill Duke.

The following firearms were used in the film Deacons for Defense:
M16A1
The Deacons pick up several crates of weapons from longshoremen, including several M16A1 rifles.
M60
Another weapon they pick up from the longshoremen, but never use, is a M60 machine gun.
M26 Hand Grenade
They also pick up a crate of M26 hand grenades, which causes concern among the Deacons.
Luger P08
Marcus Clay Forest Whitaker is seen with a Luger P08. Presumably the gun is his father's or Otis's.
FN Trombone
Marcus' father and later Marcus are seen with a pump action rifle. It looks a FN Trombone .22.
M1 Carbine
One of the Deacons is seen with a M1 Carbine, possibly a service weapon brought home from Korea.
M1 Garand
A deacon is seen with a M1 Garand.
High Standard Flite King
A KKK member and a Deacon hold what appears to be a High Standard Flite King. Which would be anachronistic for the time the movie was set.
1911A1
William Chase, the head of the local KKK, carries a 1911A1 pistol. A Deacon may also use one.
