The 2012 film is a "reboot" and the cast includes Lena Headey and Olivia Thirlby .

Pistols
"Lawgiver"
The "Lawgiver" is the standard pistol carried by the Judges in the film, including Dredd (Karl Urban ) and Cassandra Anderson (Olivia Thirlby ). It can fire in several different modes, which are selected via voice activation, and features a digital display that keeps track of its remaining ammunition. In addition, the Lawgiver is coded to its owner's DNA, and will self destruct if anyone else attempts to use it. Prop wise, the Lawgivers seen in the film appear to be Glock 17 pistols housed in futuristic shells.
The weapon's various fire modes include:
Rapid Fire (fully automatic).
Armor piercing rounds.
Incendiary rounds. These appear to be white phosphorus.
Stun. A electric less lethal round that incapacitates the target.
"Hot Shot." A superheated round capable of melting flesh. In the Judge Dredd comics these are heat seeking rounds that track targets based on their specific heat signature. However, it is not clear whether they retain this feature in the film.
"Hi-Ex" (High Explosive).
Silencer Mode. The Lawgiver features a built in suppressor that retracts into the frame when not in use.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Dredd fires a burst from his Lawgiver. Judging by the numerous casings in the air, it would appear that at least some of the Glock pistols used were converted to full auto. Also note that the muzzle flash is not coming out of the compensator cuts (see above) in the barrel, indicating that they are purely cosmetic.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Here it would appear that Dredd's Lawgiver is in Silencer Mode. However, the shots he fires in this scene sound no different than the unsuppressed shots we hear throughout the rest of the film.
