Airsoft replicas of the H&K XM8 rifle with dummy sights from the G36K appear throughout the movie in the hands of British police officers guarding detained refugees and later at the Bexhill refugee camp.
An M4A1 Carbine, fitted with an Elcan optical sight, is first seen in the hands of a 'Fish' gunman when Theo Faron (Clive Owen) is kidnapped by the resistance group. Later, during the action sequence at the Bexhill refugee camp, a female 'Fish' is also seen with an M4. While it would be more likely in reality for the gun to be a Diemaco C8A1 Carbine, Colt Canada does not sell to civilian companies (including film armorers) so it would be impossible to use one in the film. Another M4A1 carbine, equipped with a M203 grenade launcher, tactical light and a AN/PEQ-2 IR designator, is used by Luke (Chiwetel Ejiofor) when his forces arrive at the Bexhill Refugee Camp.
Two types of Kalashnikov rifle appear in the film. Modernized versions with plastic furniture are used by Tomasz (Jacek Koman) and Sirdjan (Faruk Pruti), while older versions with wooden stocks are seen in the hands of refugees throughout the film.
At the Bexhill refugee camp, one of the resistance fighters carries a G36C, which he fires at approaching British troops. Shortly after, a British Army squad leader who orders his men to cease fire is also armed with a Heckler & Koch G36C. Prop G36Ks can also be seen in the hands of refugees during a funeral march.
British Army soldiers throughout the film are seen carrying L85A2 rifles fitted with SUSAT scopes, most prominently shown when the military invades the Bexhill refugee camp.

Their tank is an obsolete British Chieftain; the last of these tanks were retired in 1995. Note that the radio operator has no magazine inserted and wear obsolete Olive PLCE.Error creating thumbnail: File missingBritish soldiers firing at the building with L85A2 rifles.
Machine Guns
L7 GPMG (FN MAG)
A L7 machine gun is seen mounted at an army checkpoint leading to the Bexhill refugee camp. Another L7 is mounted on the commander's hatch of the Chieftain tank seen towards the end of the movie.

Presumably this is an L37A1 or A2 variant,also the Chieftain and most of the British Army vehicles are painted in 'British Berlin Brigade urban camouflage.
PKM
As Theo and Kee leave the scene of a battle between the Fishes and the British Army, a single soldier can be seen wielding a Russian PKM Machine gun without an ammunition belt or box.
Other Guns-
I think one of the Fishes who kidnapped Theo had a Browning Hi-Power. There are also a bunch of other handguns on the table during the meeting in the farm.
