During the "deja vu" shootout, the SWAT officers are armed with Australian-made Leader Dynamics [[T2 MK5 assault rifle]]s (the Semi automatic version known as the SAC). (Although the weapons are never shown clearly on screen, this has been confirmed by the rental invoices from Propstore, which also has one of the rubber AAA carbines on sale). The T2 Mk5 is loosely based on the [[Armalite AR-18]] and was planned to be the next service rifle of the Australian Army, but the rifle lost out to the [[Steyr AUG]] during the Australian Army's service rifle trials. The versions used in ''The Matrix'' are the "Commando" version which have 11.5-inch barrels; the weapons are also fitted with large tactical flashlights and laser sights. The use of an Australian weapon in this case makes sense, as most of this was filmed in Sydney, Australia. | |||

Revision as of 03:06, 4 December 2012
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Matrix is the 1999 science fiction film starring Keanu Reeves as a lowly office worker who discovers that his entire world is not what it seems. The groundbreaking movie was directed by The Wachowskis, who would continue the story in two sequels released in 2003: The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions.
The following weapons were used in the film The Matrix:
Pistols
Glock 17
In the opening scene, the police officers who conduct the raid on Trinity's (Carrie-Anne Moss) hideout use Glock 17 pistols as their sidearms. These are 3rd Generation models, which were pretty new at the time the film was shot (1998).
IMI Desert Eagle Mark XIX
The Agents, including Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving), are always armed with IMI Desert Eagle Mark XIX pistols, chambered in .50 Action Express.
Beretta 84FS Cheetah
Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) carries a pair of Beretta 84FS Cheetahs as her sidearms in the film. These were selected because Moss has small hands and full sized Beretta 92Fs would be gigantic in her hands. What is interesting to note is that besides the Micro Uzi used in the beginning of the lobby scene, this is the only gun that Trinity feels she needs to bring into a building guarded by three agents. Meanwhile, Neo packs about a dozen guns and a bomb.
Zastava CZ99
Apoc (Julian Arahanga) gives Neo (Keanu Reeves) his Zastava CZ99 pistol as they try to escape an Agent-led SWAT attack after visiting the Oracle. The weapon is a CZ99 and not, as has been written previously, a SIG-Sauer P228; some of the weapons rental invoice documents published on Propstore.com have confirmed this. The CZ99 is a Yugoslavian-made pistol which is based on the P220 series, but is actually a very different weapon.
Beretta 92FS
Neo (Keanu Reeves) takes at least four pairs of Beretta 92FS pistols with him on his mission to save Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), for the probable reason that it's faster to drop the empty ones and pull out "fresh" ones, than it is trying to reload them and possibly fumbling.
Browning Hi-Power
Switch (Belinda McClory) is seen carrying a silver chrome Browning Hi-Power with adjustable sights in 9mm caliber as her weapon of choice. She is first seen using it in the car to hold Neo at gunnpoint and keep still while Trinity removes the "bug" the Agents planted in him, then using it to lay down cover fire along with Apoc while the others escape the SWAT team, taking out several SWAT members in the process.
Revolvers
Smith & Wesson Model 10 Heavy Barrel
A lobby guard tries to shoot at Neo (Keanu Reeves) with a heavy barrel Smith & Wesson Model 10 before Trinity shoots him.
Submachine Guns
Micro Uzi
During the lobby scene, Neo and Trinity both use Micro Uzis with bent trigger guards, Trinity using one to kill one of the first guards and Neo using two to keep the soldiers behind cover.
Cobray M11/9
Apoc (Julian Arahanga) carries a Cobray M11/9 converted to full-auto with a thread protector, and is famously seen firing it to lay down cover fire while he and the others are fleeing in the SWAT team attack(you can tell it's a Cobray M11/9 and not an original Ingram MAC-10 because the back of the receiver is elongated).
Heckler & Koch MP5K
In the lobby scene, Neo uses a pair of Heckler & Koch MP5Ks to eliminate the first set of guards.
Yugoslav Model 61 Skorpion
Neo fires a pair of Yugoslavian made Model 61(i) Skorpion sub-machine guns fitted with muzzle shrouds and 30-round magazines during the lobby shootout. The shell casings falling from the guns are inaccurately shown as 5.56x45mm shells, which are far larger than .32 ACP rounds.
Assault Rifles
M16 (SP1)
In the lobby shootout scene where Neo and Trinity encounter the security guard's "back-up" in the form of a unit of Army soldiers, the majority of the soldiers Neo and Trinity face up against are armed with M16 (SP1) rifles with slab-side receivers. The M16s used in this scene are a mixture of rifles with 3-prong flash hiders and rifles with M16A1-style "birdcage" flash hiders. Neo uses two of these M16s during this scene, one while cartwheeling across the lobby, another while on the roof.
Leader Dynamics T2 MK5
During the "deja vu" shootout, the SWAT officers are armed with Australian-made Leader Dynamics T2 MK5 assault rifles (the Semi automatic version known as the SAC). (Although the weapons are never shown clearly on screen, this has been confirmed by the rental invoices from Propstore, which also has one of the rubber AAA carbines on sale). The T2 Mk5 is loosely based on the Armalite AR-18 and was planned to be the next service rifle of the Australian Army, but the rifle lost out to the Steyr AUG during the Australian Army's service rifle trials. The versions used in The Matrix are the "Commando" version which have 11.5-inch barrels; the weapons are also fitted with large tactical flashlights and laser sights. The use of an Australian weapon in this case makes sense, as most of this was filmed in Sydney, Australia.
Shotguns
Mouse's Automatic Shotguns
The unusual pair of large guns that Mouse (Matt Doran) uses are custom-built cam-operated electric driven automatic 12 gauge shotguns with 25-shell cylinders and a fire rate of 900 rounds per minute. They were crafted by John Bowring, lead armorer of the film. As an inside joke, Bowring named the guns "Andy" (serial no. A1169 - Leetspeak for Andy) and "Larry" (serial no. L2779 - Leetspeak for Larry) after the Wachowski brothers, the writers and directors of the film. It can be assumed inside the Matrix, Mouse designed these shotguns for himself like he designed the woman in the red dress.
Franchi SPAS-12
In the lobby shootout scene, a number of soldiers are armed with Franchi SPAS-12 shotguns, some of which Trinity commandeers and uses against their original owners. The versions used by the soldiers have a solid fixed stock/pistol grip combination. One of them is seen firing the SPAS-12 in semi-auto mode -- a rare sight in movies. However, quick bursts of M16 fire are mistakenly dubbed over instead of the appropriate shotgun report.
Machine Guns
GE M134 Minigun
Neo (Keanu Reeves) opens up with a GE M134 Minigun mounted on a Bell 212 helicopter while rescuing Morpheus. According to armorer John Bowring, they were firing the gun half-speed at 3,000rpm though the gun was capable of firing 6,000rpm.

During the "deja vu" scene, a SWAT member throws an M7 CS gas grenade at the protagonists.
