FN SCAR-L

Julio (Diego Luna) and Max (Matt Damon) use a FN SCAR-L assault rifle during the data heist. Its 5.56×45mm ammunition, unlike the AKM's airbust rounds, prove highly ineffective against the security droids.

Chem Rail

Max (Matt Damon) grabs a Chemrail while fighting in the armory on Elysium. The weapon has a high rate of fire, and its high-velocity rounds rip right through walls and shred enemies. However, the blazing rate of fire forces Max to ditch the weapon for a fresh gun quickly. Judging by the name, firing effects, and the fact it seems to fire semi-normal ammunition, it is probably a combination of normal rifle firing caseless rounds with electromagnetic rails to increase velocity.

According to the magazine, the Chemrail is chambered for 8.75x52mm.

Cousar Crowe assault rifle

The Cousar Crowe is a fictional assault rifle carried by Elysium security droids, human security, and Kruger's team. According to the official site, it is a 40 kg anti-material rifle firing .22 caliber hyper-velocity rounds. According to the prop itself, it is made in Brazil and fires 5.25x25mm electro-chemically propelled rounds. The movie itself treats it as a bog standard assault rifle that is neither heavy nor particularly powerful.

Launchers

Missile launcher

Kruger (Sharlto Copley) uses a surface-to-space missile launcher that looks similar to a M202A1 FLASH. It fires ground-to-space missiles at about 518 kilometers per second, or 45 times escape velocity.

Sky Sweeper grenade launcher

John Carlyle's (William Fichtner) security droids carry Sky Sweeper grenade launchers mounted on their Crowe assault rifles. According to the official site, the device is a 15kg, 25mm caliber missile launcher that fires megaton-range explosive rounds at escape velocity, and is able to engage targets on Earth from the Moon. In the actual movie, the weapon apears closer to 40mm caliber and suffers from Video Game Grenade Launcher Syndrome, turning the supposedly-powerful weapon into an inaccurate dumbfire weapon whose rounds do zero damage. However, only his droids ever carry the launcher, suggesting that it may well add a good deal of weight to the rifle it is mounted on.

Explosives

Grenade
