The following weapons were used in the film Black Hawk Down:
Colt M733
Busch (Richard Tyson) is the first Delta member on screen, and also the first soldier we see carrying a version of the Black Rifle, a Colt Commando M733. All Delta members carry an M733. Master Sgt. Gary Gordon (Nikolaj Coster Waldau) can be seen carrying one featuring a camouflage paint scheme and a silencer, which is then used by Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant (Ron Eldard) to pick off several more Somalis before running out of ammunition and being overwhelmed.
M60 Machine Gun
Specialist Shawn Nelson (Ewen Bremner) can be seen carrying an M60 machine gun as his standard weapon.
M249 SAW
Several Rangers can be seen carrying M249 SAWs throughout the film. It is also the weapon used by Specialist Lance Twombly (Tom Hardy) to accidentally deafen Nelson when he fires it too close to his head. A lucky shot from a Somali also causes Twombly's extra ammo to ignite, nearly setting him on fire.
M16A2
Staff Sgt. Matt Eversmann (Josh Hartnett) leads his Rangers armed, like most of them, with an M16A2.
M21 Designated Marksman Rifle
The M21 Designated Marksman Rifle is seen being used by Sergeant First Class Randy Shughart (Johnny Strong), most notably when he and Master Sgt. Gary Gordon are covering the second crash site.
Heckler & Koch G3A3
The local militia arm themselves with, among many other weapons, H&K G3 assault rifles.
RPG-7
The Russian manufactured RPG-7 features prominently in the film as it is the weapon which brings down a pair of Black Hawks. In one scene, a projectile from an RPG-7 strikes the driver of one of the deuce and a half trucks in Lt. Colonel Danny McKnight (Tom Sizemore)'s convoy and fails to detonate, impaling the luckless soldier instead.
AK-47
There are so many AK-47s in this film that it is unlikely any other film has ever had more on screen. It is almost standard-issue for almost every Somali gunman. One can see almost every permutation of the weapon being used in this film.
AKS-74U
The Somali militia leader carries an AKS-74U as his weapon of choice.
M203 grenade launcher
One can see many U.S. Army Rangers with M203 grenade launchers attached to their M16A2 rifles, the most notable of which is Specialist John Grimes (Ewan McGregor) who assists Delta in taking out a technical that has them pinned down.
M1911A1
We see the M1911A1 pistol in the hands of both Delta operators and a Somali militiaman. As the two Delta snipers attempt to secure the second crash site they are forced to draw their sidearms, M1911A1 and Beretta M9 pistols, as the overwhelming Somali forces close in on them. Another Delta operator can be seen practicing with an M1911A1 near the beginning of the film.
Beretta M9
The Beretta M9 pistol is seen several times in the film in the hands of Rangers, and members of McKnight's convoy.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant, a Black Hawk pilot, is armed with an H&K MP5A3 and uses it to defend himself after he's shot down.
Browning M2
The Browning M2 heavy machine gun is fielded by both the US Army HMMWVs, the UN APCs, and the Somali militia in the film. The opening shots of the film feature Somali militiamen slaughtering a gathered crowd at a food distribution center with the powerful fifty-cal.
GE M134 Minigun
During the slaughter of the crowd, The U.S. forces hovering in the MH-60 aren't cleared to fire the GE M134 Miniguns mounted on their Black Hawk. Pylon-mounted miniguns are also carried by the AH-6 Little Birds and rain lead in several scenes.
DShK Heavy Machine Gun
Several vehicle mounted Russian DShK heavy machine guns appear in several scenes of the film.
M72 LAW
An Army Ranger can be seen taking out a "technical" with an M72 LAW.
M67 Hand Grenade
While loading up for the assault on the Olympic Hotel Sanderson (William Fichtner) picks up M67 fragmentation hand grenades. He is also seen throwing one into a window to take out a Somali who has him and the Deltas and Rangers pinned down.
M7A2 Hand Grenade
An M7A2 CS gas grenade is seen sitting next to the M67 fragmentation hand grenades Sanderson picks up.
