Reindeer Games is a 2000 heist film starring Ben Affleck as an ex-convict who is coerced into helping rob a casino in Michigan by a psychotic trucker (Gary Sinise). It is most notable for being the final theatrical release from famed director John Frankenheimer (best known for films like The Manchurian Candidate and Ronin, among others).

The following weapons were used in this movie:

Reindeer Games (2000)


Franchi PA3/215

For much of the movie, Gabriel (Gary Sinise) carries a Franchi PA3/215 as his weapon-of-choice. In one scene of the film, Rudy Duncan (Ben Affleck) briefly gets ahold of the PA3.

Glock 22

Gabriel is seen in many scenes carrying a Glock 22 in .40 S&W, which is also used at the end of the movie by Ashley (Charlize Theron). It seems to be a Glock 22 based on its muzzle diameter, which appears too large to be 9mm.

Unknown self-loading rifle

Gabriel (Gary Sinise) uses a powerful self-loading rifle in one scene while chasing Rudy and Ashley through a forest. It should be noted that Sinise highly exaggerates the recoil of this weapon when firing it. Is this a Browning BAR?

Smith & Wesson 5906

Olympic Arms K23B

An Olympic Arms K23B compact assault rifle is used by Gabriel (Gary Sinise) during the casino heist. This weapon is also used by Jack Bangs (Dennis Farina), akimbo with his Uzi. The version used in the film is the flat-top model; Gabriel uses it with the carry handle removed and no additional sighting (which is sure to make aiming a great deal more difficult).

Mossberg 500

Merlin's (Clarence Williams III's) weapon during the casino heist is a custom shorty Mossberg 500, fitted with forward and rear pistol grips, a heat shield, and extra shell holder. It is also seen in the weapons storage compartment in Gabriel's big rig. This seems to be the exact same shotgun that was used by Kevin Costner in 3000 Miles to Graceland.

Rudy's Beretta 92FS Water Pistol

When Gabriel's gang carries out the casino heist, Rudy convinces them to take him along. Gabriel doesn't want to give Rudy a real gun, so he instead gives him a plastic water pistol shaped like a Beretta 92FS. The prop itself seems to be an inexpensive airsoft Beretta 92FS that has been dressed up to look more like a squirt gun, as there aren't many (if any) water pistols in real life which bear such a close resemblance to real guns.

Cobray M11/9

When Jack Bangs (Dennis Farina) opens his "Pow Wow" safe, he pulls out a pair of submachine gun and starts spraying Gabriel's crew with automatic weapon-fire. One of the subguns he draws is a converted Cobray M11/9, which is only seen very briefly (and not clearly) before he drops it and switches to his Uzi.
