The following weapons are seen in the film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen:

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)


M4A1 Carbine

Major William Lennox (Josh Duhamel), CMSgt. Bobby Epps (Tyrese Gibson), and Captain Graham (Matthew Marsden) can be seen holding M4A1 carbines as their main weapon in the film. Apparently all the M4s as well as other weapons used by NEST were dressed up to give them a bit more of a futuristic look to them, A lot of them are seen with Magpul PMAG polymer magazines and appear to be modified to use special Sabot ammo as was stated in the first Transformers to be the only type of ammunition that can do any damage to the Decepticons. Among the accessories seen on the M4's include Magpul CTR & LMT SOPMOD Stocks, Surefire Universal weaponlights, EOTech red dot sights, and AN/PVS-17 night-vision scopes. Other U.S. military personnel can be seen using regular M4A1's with varying accessories including ACOG scopes, C-More red dot sights, Surefire Universal weaponlights, and RIS foregrips.

Hand Held M134 Minigun

A Hand Held M134 Minigun is seen being used by an unnamed NEST soldier in Shanghai. Movie armorer Steve Karnes had the following to say about the film thread on our discussion forum. "You missed the hand held Dillon M134DT Titanium Minigun with a carbon fiber backpack ammo box with power source. I designed and built the hand hold mount for the Minigun. It's a different set up than the old style used in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The set up for Transformers 2 is the same one we used in G.I. Joe except it was a standard M134 and not the Titanium model."

Notice how the soldier is resting his hand FLAT behind the shotgun attachment. Any realize that shell casings are coming out, but no 30-round magazine? Hmm... using smaller magazines isn't very combatant. Plus, this might be a prop reused from movies "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines", "Terminator: Salvation", and "The One". But that's my guess.

NEST Rotary guns

Several NEST vehicles are armed with mocked up Doom-style rotary guns. While they look like GAU-19/As they are much smaller than the real thing. They are about the same size as a HMMWV mounted M134D Minigun. Secondly the ammunition boxes are smaller than those for either aforementioned system.

Trivia

N.E.S.T.

There really is a N.E.S.T. in the U.S. It stands for Nuclear Emergency Support Team and it is not a fighting force but has lots of scientists and bomb disposal experts. N.E.S.T. usually counts on elite units from the various branches to help it with any fights or defensive postures. It is a unit of the U.S. Department of Energy and deals mostly with detecting, controlling and deactivating nuclear devices or threats on U.S. Soil. In the films Broken Arrow and The Peacemaker, N.E.S.T. is referred to by its older name Nuclear Emergency Search Team, but within the last ten years the name was changed. The "N.E.S.T." seen in the movie may be a different group with the same acronym (or a fictional upgrade of the existing NEST, being that the Allspark, the Autobots and the Decepticons all emanate at least some levels of radiation).

N.E.S.T. Island Base

One of the main reasons why N.E.S.T, a US run special operations unit would allow British Special Forces into their ranks not only because they are one of the few foreign nations in which the US have had good special operations history with, but because of the island in which N.E.S.T's base is stationed on. The island, which is actually a live US Naval Base called Diego Garcia, was given to the US by the British for lease. Keeping the secret of the Autobots residing on the island from the British would not have lasted long, so in good faith payment I suspect the US government allowed the British to have their own Special Forces teams within N.E.S.T.; which would make sense because in several of the battle scenes it depicts British Special Forces like the SAS involved. In exchange the British would allow the US military to have full operation control of N.E.S.T. and the secret of the Autobots existence to be safe.

In many ways the island that N.E.S.T. is based in is probably the most sound and logical place for a secretive Special Ops/Autobot Task Force. Diego Garcia is in the middle of the Indian Ocean, far away from any modern city which contains curious reporters, journalists, as well as pesky nerdy conspiracy theorists. And because it is an island with water on all four sides, and its waters patroled by a heavily armed US Naval Task Force it would be literally impossible for any trespassers to sneak onto the island to collect evidence about the existence of the Autobots. That is unless you are a Decepticon as shown in the movie.

S.A.S.

the SAS(Special Air Service) soldiers are seen wearing their sand coloured berets in combat, which in real life would not happen. The sand beret is reserved only for ceremonial occasions and parades, and is substituted with either a "giggle" hat (known as a "boonie hat" in the US) or a helmet when in the field, same as with US military headwear regulations.
