Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life is the 2003 sequel to 2001's Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Angelina Jolie returns as Lara Croft, who this time goes to the ends of the earth in search of a mysterious object that may be capable of unleashing a deadly worldwide plague. The film was directed by Jan De Bont (Speed) and co-stars Gerard Butler, Ciarán Hinds, and Djimon Hounsou.
The following weapons were used in the film Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life:
Lara Croft (Angelina Jolie) once again carries as her main sidearms twin Heckler & Koch USP Match pistols in hip holsters. Unlike the original film, the entire pistol is in the same color scheme as the slide. In some behind the scene videos, Angelina Jolie indicated that her left side USP is customized with the slide release latch on the opposite side for easier reloading, though the USP style pistols all have an ambidextrous magazine release as a standard part.
Heckler & Koch P11
A Heckler & Koch P11 underwater gun is used by Lara Croft (Angelina Jolie) during the temple scene. From looking at the shots, they either had more than one of these or they only had her fired it once, or never fired it and digitally made the rounds fly out because the close up of the front of it firing shows she was firing the first shot from the weapon despite the fact she fired 2 times before. Two P11's were utilised however neither were real weapons. A resin hero stunt was used when the holstered gun was removed & placed on the waters edge along with the speargun. When in and under the water a SFX P11 was used which had cables and air lines running out of the base of the butt which connected to a SFX box of tricks which appeared to ignite the sealed barrel chambers which on a real gun would be sealed with resin which the caseless round or sabot would break through. When the prop was fired air was blown through a single central hole in each of the chambers which combined with coloured lights mounted on the air lines gave the convincing illusion of a sealed round discharging (sorry R.H.). Both the P11 and Lara's speargun had an identicle grip & triggerguard assembly which did not appear on the real Special Forces gun.
When Lara travels to a prison in Kazakhstan to free Terry, guards are seen armed with the AKS-47.
AKMSU
A few of Xien's men are armed with the AKMSU during the shootout in China.
Blaser R93 Sniper Rifle

The Heckler & Koch G36C is used by Terry Sheridan (Gerard Butler) as well as Reiss's men. Sheridan's G36 is fitted with a scope above the standard G36 carry handle as well as a tactical light and mags clamped together.
Lara picks up a Lee-Enfield No III* Mark I SMLE in some Chinese ruins to use and hold Chen Lo (Simon Yam) at gunpoint. When the rifle clicks empty, she performs some "silent drill" exercises with it to defend herself against Chen Lo.
SAR-80
The SAR-80 rifle is seen briefly in the hands of Chinese thugs and their leader Xien (Terence Yin).
Winchester Model 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine
During a training exercise on her manor grounds, Lara uses a Winchester Model 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine with a large D lever loop to shoot targets while riding side saddle.
