Flight of the Phoenix (2004)



M1911 Variant

At one point in the film, A.J. (Tyrese Gibson) pulls an M1911A1 when he discovers that someone has been taking more than their share of water. He later gives it to Frank Towns (Dennis Quaid) when the survivors make first contact with the nomads, Towns using it to kill most of the nomads when the encounter goes bad. In the extended edition of the film, Jeremy (Kirk "Sticky Fingaz" Jones) uses it to shoot a nomad attempting to board the Phoenix during takeoff.

Webley Mk IV

One of the nomads can be seen using a Webley Mk IV revolver when the survivors' first contact with them goes bad, fatally wounding Rodney (Tony Curran) with it. Elliot (Giovanni Ribisi) then uses it to kill one of the surviving nomads the next day, ending an arguement among the survivors as to what to do with the nomad. Ian (Hugh Laurie) later holds it on Elliot when it's revealed that Elliot's plane-building skills are in fact based on scale models, not full-size aircraft, but has it taken away by Towns without a shot being fired.

AK-47

Several of the nomads can be seen with AK-47 rifles, both fixed and folding-stock models, casings of which are also found around what's left of Kyle (Bob Brown)'s body when Towns finds him while searching for James Liddle (Scott Michael Campbell). Some of the AK-47s seen in the hands of the nomads are Romanian WASR-3 clones, evidenced by the straighter 5.56x45mm magazines, again fitted with fixed and underfolding stocks. Some WASR-3's are recovered when the survivors search the nomads' camp following the shooting, but are not seen in the survivors' posession after Elliott executes the surviving nomad.

Heckler & Koch P2A1 Flare Pistol

In the extended version of the film, Towns uses a Heckler & Koch P2A1 flare pistol in an attempt to signal a biplane flying over the crash site as they're digging out from under the sand that buried the plane. The biplane however fails to see the flare, despite it having nearly hit the aircraft.
