Machine Guns
AVR-30
The AVR-30 Machine Gun is seen in the hands of Jake Sulley (Sam Worthington) in his retelling of the ending of the the first film. The machine gun was previously used as a door gun on the SA-2 Samson tiltrotors, and as an assault rifle by the ten-foot-tall Avatars but seems to have been replaced by the MBS-9M .50 Caliber "Hydra" Tri-Barreled Machine Gun now as the main door guns of the newer SA-9 Kestrel Gunships and by the Recom M69-ARs for the Avatars / Na'vi.
The weapon was built around an M60 machine gun, sheathed within CNC machined alloy housings (as well as assorted add-ons), and the end product still bears a close resemblance to the M60. It uses a side-mounted detachable drum magazine (very closely resembling a conical MG42 or MG3 magazine) instead of an ammo belt.
MBS-9M .50 Caliber "Hydra" (Tri-Barreled Machine Gun)
The MBS-9M "Hydra" Tri-Barreled Machine Gun returns from the first film. now appearing to be the standard door guns on the modern Aerospatiale SA-9 Kestrel Gunship and now also as a portable squad automatic weapon with a bipod and ammunition box with a feed chute (in similar configuration as Blaine's M134 hand held minigun in Predator) carried by Project Pheonix member Mansk (Kevin Dorman).
The MBS-9M "Hydra" is a Tri-Barreled Machine Gun that fires .50 Caliber Uranium "Needle" Rounds, resembling the General Dynamics GAU-19/A however the three barrels on the Hydra do not spin like a GAU, but all three barrels fire in full-automatic simultaneously.
Handguns
SN-9 WASP (Custom Break-open Revolver)
A WASP revolver returns once again as the sidearm of Col. Quaritch (Stephen Lang) and uses 9mm hypervelocity sabot rounds. Because of Quaritch's duplicated consciousness was put into a 20-year-old Recom under Project Phoenix, the revolver appears to have been enlargened to fit in scale with the Colonel's Avatar's hand.
The revolver is said to have been based on the Russian revolver MP-412 REX which it also bears resemblence to but the original prop was actually assembled around a Ruger GP100 .357 Magnum using CNC machined alloy housings over top of the real weapon. Hammer tang was cut off meaning it could only be fired double action and the prop was designed to appear as though it has a break-open action, however it retains the "flip-out" cylinder of the donor weapon (at some considerable technical effort) in order for it to be able to be loaded and fired (blanks). There was only ONE hero prop, and at least one stunt prop (distinguishable by the back of the trigger being filled in as in pic below).
Rifles
GS-221 Base Carbine unit (Standard Issue Rifle)
The RDA SecOp soldiers on Pandora use the fictional GS-221 BCU modular rifle. The props, realized by Weta Workshop, have been built in at least 2 primary variants: the Standard Issue Rifle GS-221 and the Personal Defence Weapon (PDW) variant with a shorter barrel.
Shotguns
Combat Shotgun
Trudy Chacon (Michelle Rodriguez) and Norm Spellman are seen armed with CARB Combat Shotguns in the film. A majority of RDA SecOps soldiers use the Combat Shotguns. The live fire props were based on Norinco HP9-1/Norinco Hawk 982 shotguns.
