Nice, but where's the trigger? This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it. |
The following weapons appear in the film Avatar:
Modified M60 machine gun
A modified M60 machine gun is used as a door gun on the SA-2 Samson tiltrotors, and as a assault rifle by the ten-foot-tall Avatars. The weapon uses a detachable drum magazine (very closely resembling an MG42, MG3 maybe?) instead of a ammo belt. Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) uses this during the Thanator attack and the final battle until he pulls out his grenades. Norm Spellman (Joel David Moore) uses one during the final battle as well.
GS-221 Base Carbine unit
Seen used by the RDA SecFor on Pandora. According to the "Human Hardware" featurette the weapons are made by the fictional company "MATANZA ARMS CORP.". The props, realized by Weta Workshop, have been built in at least 2 variants: the Standard Issue Rifle GS-221 and the Personal Defence Weapon(PDW)variant with a shorter barrel. From a closer inspection of the weapons, resemblences can be clearly seen to the MC-R (modular Caseless Rifle) that appeared in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter series of games. The shotgun and the underslung weapon on the rifles have similarities, so one could assume a shorter shotgun is underneath the GS-221(Rifle)much like the Master Key system used by SWAT and Military CQB forces. (note the ejection ports on the rifles in the picture below). Col. Quaritch (Stephen Lang) fires a PDW variant at the escaping Samson helicopter before switching to his revolver.

the GS-221 with under slung bullpup shotgun or grenade launcher (Appears to be similar to the Shotgun main body), the Shotgun and the PDW (Flamethrower hidden by the Bullpup Shotgun) Some rifles look like they have under-barrel attachments that could be a shot gun or a grenade launcher, however they were never fired during the film.
here are the links to drawings I made of the SIR and PDW according to the "Human Hardware" featurette :

you can see a Long Range Sniper Rifle that is not seen in the movie
(thank you in advance to the one who'll integrate those drawings to the article)
Unknown Bullpup Shotgun
Seen used by RDA operatives in the trailers. Trudy Chacon (Michelle Rodriguez) and Norm Spellman is seen armed with one in the film.
Weapons of the movie appear to be resin casted. The shotgun and the underslung weapon on the rifles have similarities, so one could assume a shorter shotgun is underneath the GS-221(Rifle)much like the Master Key system used by SWAT and Military CQB forces.
Modified handgun
Seen used by a SecFor member before he is pulled off the gunship. A major handguard has been added to the actual weapon. Trudy Chacon (Michelle Rodriguez) uses a Modified Handgun to break Jake (Sam Worthington), Norm (Joel David Moore) and Grace (Sigourney Weaver) out of jail and then passes it to Jake when she goes to start up the Samson.
Modified General Dynamics GAU-19/A
The GAU-19 is seen used as door guns on the Aerospatiale SA-2 Samson, and on the Valkyrie that is used as a bomber. Trudy's Samson, had two auto fired during the battle for the tree of souls.
In the Movie it is known as a MBS-22A Automated Sentry Gun. Manufactured by Masa-Cirre Ltd. Modular Belt Systems division. With one barrel it fires at 2,000 rpm and with three at 6,000 rpm. It uses 20 mm ball and tracer rounds.
"WASP gun" - Custom Break-open Revolver
Seen in the hands of Colonel Quaritch (Stephen Lang) in promotional stills. Also used by him in the movie when he tries to stop the fleeing Samson helicopter, and during the final battle to try to dislodge Jake. Name taken from the book "Avatar Survival Guide". said to use 9 millimeter hypervelocity sabot rounds.
Bush Boss FD-11
Prop seen in the "Human Hardware" featurette. In the movie it is used briefly by a mercenary to burn plant life during the final battle sequence. According to the "Pandorapedia", a similar but bigger weapon would be an optional equipment for the AMP suit; however this system is not visible in the movie.
Fictional 30mm autocannon the "GAU-90"
Carried like rifles by the AMP suits. Col. Miles Quartich (Stephen Lang) and Cpl. Lyle Wainfleet (Matt Gerald) use GAU-90's on their suits during the final battle.
