ChemRail

Max De Costa (Matt Damon) grabs a ChemRail rifle during the fight in the Elysium armory. The ChemRail has a high rate of fire, and its high-velocity rounds rip right through walls and shred enemies. However, the blazing rate of fire forces Max to ditch the weapon for a fresh gun quickly. According to the official site, it fires 8.75x52mm FSDRAS (Fin Stabilized, Discarding Rail Accelerator Sabot) rounds with a muzzle energy of 18 kilo joules. It is a dual-stage weapon, use chemical propellant first and then electro-magnetic rails as the second stage.

Cousar Crowe assault rifle

The Cousar Crowe is a fictional assault rifle carried by Elysium security droids, human security, and Kruger's team. According to the official site, it is a 40 kg anti-material rifle firing .22 caliber hyper-velocity rounds. According to the prop itself, it is made in Brazil and fires 5.25x25mm electro-chemically propelled rounds. The movie itself treats it as a bog standard assault rifle that is neither heavy nor particularly powerful.

Shotguns

Remington 870

Manuel (Adrian Holmes) gives Max De Costa (Matt Damon) a customized Remington 870 before the brain data heist. The Remington is fitted with a short barrel, M4-style stock, a doorbreaching muzzle device, and Surefire weaponslight foregrip. Max uses the weapon to fire a guided high-explosive round, that is then remotely triggered. He then ditches the weapon, and it is not seen again.

Launchers

Kruger (Sharlto Copley) uses a surface-to-space missile launcher that looks similar to a M202A1 FLASH. It fires ground-to-space missiles at about 518 kilometers per second, or 45 times escape velocity.

Sky Sweeper grenade launcher

John Carlyle's (William Fichtner) security droids carry Sky Sweeper grenade launchers mounted on their Crowe assault rifles. According to the official site, the device is a 15kg, 25mm caliber missile launcher that fires megaton-range explosive rounds at escape velocity, and is able to engage targets on Earth from the Moon. In the actual movie, the weapon apears closer to 40mm caliber and suffers from Video Game Grenade Launcher Syndrome, turning the supposedly-powerful weapon into an inaccurate dumbfire weapon whose rounds do zero damage. However, only his droids ever carry the launcher, suggesting that it may well add a good deal of weight to the rifle it is mounted on.

Explosives

Grenade

An unknown model of hand grenade is used by one of Carlyle's security droids. Max also uses one of these grenades on Agent Kruger's VTOL.
