Watchmen (2009)
The following guns were used in the film Watchmen:
M79 grenade launcher
The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) uses an M79 grenade launcher to fire smoke rounds at people trying to vandalize the buildings with the phrase "Who watches the Watchmen?" in the rioting crowds. He even hits one rioter dead on with a smoke round during the "American Dream" scene. It is also seen in his closet when Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley) is checking out his apartment.
Flamethrower
The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) uses a Flamethrower to light his cigar with the pilot and then burn a Victor Charlie soldier while in Vietnam. He can also be seen posing with it in Movie Posters. It appears to be a fictional mockup not specifically based on any real flamethrowers, although it resembles an M2 Flamethrower in the graphic novel.
M1911A1
The Comedian uses his issued M1911A1 sidearm in the film to kill a pregnant Vietnamese woman when she slashes him with a broken bottle for leaving her and the baby behind behind. A criminal can be seen drawing a 1911 on Dr. Manhatten before he is blown up. A criminal is seen foiled by Nite Owl I while holding a 1911.
D&L Sports Professional Model Longslides
The Comedian's sidearms right up to his murder are custom 1911 D&L Sports Professional Model Longslides with ornate smiley-face grips to match the Comedian logo. They have "Nixon 1970" written on the grips, indicating they were a gift from Nixon for serving in the Vietnam war. At the beginning of the film, Comedian tries to bring up one of his 1911s to combat the attacking assailant in his home but fires off one stray shot to no avail and is disarmed. For the most part, these guns are only seen in his holsters or in a presentation case any other time.
Zastava M70AB2
VC Soldiers destroyed by Dr. Manhattan wield folding stock Zastava M70AB2 rifles noted by their folding grenade launcher sights.
CAR-15
Seen in the hands of NYPD and soldiers in Vietnam are CAR-15 carbines with slab-side recievers.
Ruger AC556
SWAT members trying to apprehend Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley) in Molloch's (Matt Frewer) house are seen armed with Ruger AC556 rifles with folding stocks.
Winchester Model 70
Carcano M91/38
The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is seen holding a scoped Carcano M91/38 while watching John F. Kennedy's car drive by. This implies that he assassinated JFK rather than, or in partnership with, Lee Harvey Oswald.
Remington 870
The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) poses with a Remington 870 and his M79 grenade launcher in a promotional image.
Ithaca 37
The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) fires on rampaging crowd members with an Ithaca 37 shotgun. It is assumed he is using rubber bullets like he claims he is in the comics, or otherwise he is killing civilians, something very unbecoming of a government vigilante.

Franchi PA3
A Franchi PA3 is seen in the Comedian's (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) closet when Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley) investigates his home. In the original graphic novel, the only thing seen in the closet was his costume, a MAC-10, and a few knives. His 1911's were seen in his closet in the graphic novel.
Special
M203 grenade launcher
M60
MP5 SD6
MR-700( Marksman's Rifle - Model 700 Conversion )
Smith & Wesson Model 10
Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolvers are used by the guards in Riker's prison, one of which is taken by Silk Spectre II (Malin Akerman) and later used to shoot Adrian Veidt (Matthew Goode), who impressively catches the bullet.
Smith & Wesson Model 586
A Smith & Wesson Model 586 with a four inch barrel is used by Roy Chess to fire at Adrian Veidt (Matthew Goode) and shoot three employees (killing two) before Veidt hits him with a pole. In the novel the gun was a Beretta Cheetah modeled gun.
Walther PPK
A Walther PPK is left at Molloch's (Matt Frewer) side after he is murdered in which we see the person planting it unscrews the suppressor and places it next to him.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
When Daniel Dreiberg (Patrick Wilson) and Laurie Juspeczyk (Malin Akerman) fight off "Knot-Tops" in the alleyway, one of them draws a Smith & Wesson Model 36 and fires several shots at Laurie but only succeeds in shooting one of his comrades in the back and is dispatched by Dan.
.22 Revolver
An unknown .22 revolver is seen drawn by the man who murdered the little girl and he draws it when entering his house but it is disarmed by Rorschach.
Glock 17
Police standing behind Veidt as he attempts to stop Roy Chess from swallowing a poison capsule are armed with Glock 17 pistols, which were not in police service in 1985 (although commonly are today).
M1 Garand
During the opening sequence summing up the past, Hippies stick flowers into US Army Military Policemen's M1 Garand rifles before the MPs fire them on the hippies, flowers still in the muzzles. This is an homage to the famous photograph where a protestor places a flower in the barrel of an MP's M14 rifle. In reality, MPs in the U.S. did use M14 Rifles during this time period. National Guardsmen (as in the Kent State shooting in 1970) were armed with M1 Garands. (Please note these are not bootleg, but are taken from the publicly released opening credits scene)
M1928 Thompson
A thug is seen foiled by The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) in the opening credits while firing an M1928 Thompson into the air.
Sawed Off Double Barrel Shotgun
A Sawed Off Double Barreled Shotgun with exposed hammers is drawn by a criminal before he is blown up by Dr. Manhattan (Billy Crudup).
Rorschach's Grapple Gun
Specifically designed by Nite Owl II/Daniel Dreiberg (Patrick Wilson) for him, Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley) uses this grapple gun to enter Edward Blake's (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) apartment and later uses it as a weapon to break a SWAT member's collar bone.
