G.I. Joe: Retaliation is the 2013 sequel to 2009's G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Directed by Jon M. Chu, the film finds the GI Joe team on the run after being declared enemies of the state by the US government. The film was originally scheduled to be released in the summer of 2012, but was moved to 2013 in order to convert the film to 3D and reportedly to add more scenes. The sequel's cast includes returning cast members Ray Park and Channing Tatum in addition to Dwayne Johnson, Adrianne Palicki, Ray Stevenson and Bruce Willis.
The following weapons were used in the film G.I. Joe: Retaliation:
General Joe Colton (Bruce Willis) uses a custom M1911 with ivory grips as his sidearm throughout the film. It is stated that the pistol belonged to General Patton and was a gift from his family. Colton gives it to Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson) at the end of the film.
Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson) carries two custom Glock 21 pistols in the film, fitted with suppressors, threaded barrels and detachable magazine housings, built from parts of the TDI Vector.
The Einsargen prison guards, and Cobra Secret Service agents, including Zandar (Matt Gerald), carry the Glock 17 as their sidearms in the film. Warden Nigel James (Walton Goggins) takes a Glock 17 from one of the Einhagen prison guards' holster and uses it during the fight with Storm Shadow. Storm Shadow (Byung-hun Lee) also uses one in Einhagen. Jinx (Elodie Yung) takes a Glock 17 from a Cobra trooper and uses it during the battle in Fort Sumter.
The FNX-9 is used by both Cobra ninjas and Cobra Vipers. Snakes Eyes (Ray Park) also carries one as his sidearm in the film, replacing the FN Five-seveN from the first film. Jinx (Elodie Yung) also uses one when she and Snake Eyes secure Storm Shadow (Byung-hun Lee) in the Himalayas.
Lady Jaye (Adrianne Palicki) and Mouse (Joseph Mazzello) both use the M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System as their primary firearms in the film. The MASS shotguns are loaded with special guided "P-dub 381 black Tempest" airburst rounds, that can be remote controlled with the LCD display on the MASS. The M26s are always shown with the folding front sight raised, despite the fact it would serve no purpose as the rear sight has been replaced by the video display.
Several guards at the Einsagen Subterranean Prison can be seen armed with Heckler & Koch MP5A2s fitted with Navy trigger groups & Surefire dedicated forend weaponlights. Storm Shadow (Byung-hun Lee) also uses one of the guard's MP5A2 at the Einsagen.
A number Heckler & Koch MP7A1s are mounted on the side of a motorcycle operated by Firefly (Ray Stevenson). Snake Eyes (Ray Park) also uses a suppressed MP7A1 to shoot down Storm Shadow's shuriken in the Himalayas. He and Jinx (Elodie Yung) wield MP7s during the assault on the Ft. Sumter conference.
The FN SCAR-L appears as G.I. Joe's standard carbine. They are fitted with Aimpoint Micro T-1 red dot sights, Magpul AFG grips, AN/PEQ-15 laser modules, Magpul EMags, occasionally 10" barrels to comfortably accommodate suppressors, and converted to full auto. They can seen in the hands of Lady Jaye (Adrianne Palicki) and General Joseph Colton (Bruce Willis).
Note: these SCAR 16 rifles appear to be civilian SCAR 16S modified and converted to full auto.
The FN SCAR-H is the main battle rifle carried by the GI Joe unit in the film. The rifle is carried by Captain "Duke" Hauser (Channing Tatum), Lady Jaye (Adrianne Palicki), and Flint (D.J. Cotrona). They are converted to full auto fitted with various accessories including Aimpoint Micro T-1 red dot sights, Magpul AFG grips, AN/PEQ-15 laser modules, and tactical flashlights.
Note: these SCAR 17 rifles also appear to be civilian SCAR 17S rifles modified and converted to be full auto.
A few Joes at their camp in Pakistan carry M4A1 carbines. After the Apache air strike, several Cobra Vipers sweeping the camp for survivors are seen with M4A1s as well. Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson) takes an M4A1 after the airstrike, and sticks it in the ground to make a makeshift cross.

Machine Guns
M249E2 SAW
Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson) uses a M249E2 SAW fitted with an Aimpoint CompM4s red dot sight, several times in the film. Snake Eyes (Ray Park) also holds M249 during the battle at Fort Sumter as he chases Cobra Commander's helicopter.
A Browning M2 Aircraft machine gun fitted with a custom "chainsaw" grip is first seen being fired handheld by Roadblock while on a firing range with Duke. The custom M2 is then seen in General Colton's home armory and then mounted on the roof of a "Ripsaw" tracked vehicle made by Howe and Howe Technologies that is driven by Roadblock.
The M67 Hand Grenade is among the ordnance kept in General Colton's home armory. Flint finds one hidden in a fruit basket at the home. In the Extended Action Cut, both Flint and Mouse participate in a "bobbing for grenades" game that feature what appear to be M67 grenades.
COBRA forces are seen deploying special H.I.S.S. (High Speed Sentry) tanks in the film's climax. These tanks are armed with a single tank cannon, which serves as the main weapon systems of Cobra's HISS tanks. Other armaments include two 8-barrel rotary Gatling-type guns.
