The following firearms were used in the movie Blood Diamond









Glock 26

Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio) carries a Glock 26. He is briefly seen trying to meet with one of the commanders with the RUF and is stopped by Commander Rambo (Ato Essandoh). Commander Rambo doesn't trust Danny when his plane flies away. Danny disarms and raises his hands to show he means peaceful intentions to trade weapons for diamonds. The pistol is never seen for the rest of the movie, presumably confiscated when he is caught later smuggling diamonds.

Heckler & Koch USP

The H&K USP is used several times in the movie. It is used by the South African commandos, and later picked up by Solomon Vandy (Djimon Hounsou)'s son Dia Vandy (Kagiso Kuypers), while under the effects of the RUF's brainwashing.

Heckler & Koch USP Compact

An H&K USP Compact is used by Danny. He Purchases the weapon from a dealer at a bar for a couple hundred dollars after having his Glock 26 confiscated while smuggling diamonds. He later gives it to Solomon near the end of the film when he tells him that he will stay and hold off Col. Coetzee's men so Solomon can make his escape.

Smith & Wesson Model 629

Commander Rambo of the RUF wields a Smith & Wesson Model 629 revolver when he confronts Danny and demands his weapon. There is a slight possibility the revolver could be a Smith & Wesson Model 686, however the barrel looks about 5" which would likely make it the 629 model.

AK-47/AKMS

AK-47 derivatives are used by the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) and the Sierra Leone troops, likely provided by smugglers like Danny Archer in exchange for blood diamonds. The vast majority of the AKs used by the soldiers and rebels are the Chinese Type 56-1 (an AKMS clone, distinguished by the hooded front sight). However, some Russian-made Type II AK-47s (milled receiver) are also seen in the film; Danny acquires one from a rebel during the attack on the RUF mining camp and uses it to dispatch enemies.
