Savages is a 2012 narco-thriller directed by Oliver Stone and based on the novel of the same name by Don Winslow (who co-wrote the screenplay and was also the author of The Life and Death of Bobby Z). The film follows two successful marijuana-dealing friends: Chon (Taylor Kitsch), a former Navy SEAL, and Ben (Aaron Johnson), a UC Berkley graduate who must fight back against the Baja Cartel, run by Elena La Reina (Salma Hayek) and her enforcer Lado (Benicio del Toro), who have kidnapped their girlfriend O (Blake Lively) in order to push them out of the business.
The following weapons were used in the film Savages:
Chon (Taylor Kitsch) briefly handles a Glock 21 in the beginning of the film. The Glock 21 has a carbon fiber pattern frame; the weapon used in this movie is the same one originally used in Faster.

While the lighting makes it hard to tell in this image, the Glock has a carbon fiber pattern on the frame and an extended slide release, both modifications made for use in the movie Faster.
At the film's beginning, Chon (Taylor Kitsch) is seen spinning the cylinder of a Ruger LCR. The novel states that he pulls out a ".38" when the Cartel asks him if he has a gun on hand. While the exact make and model of his sidearm is not described in the novel, it could possibly be an LCR, since the LCR comes in .357 Magnum and .38 Special.
During the money hijacking scene Chon and his team of ex-Navy SEALs use heavily modified Colt Model 933 rifles, fitted with Yankee Hill 9638 free-floating continuous rail forearms, ACOG scopes, Steiner DBAL laser designators, and Grippod vertical foregrips. The M933s from this movie had previously appeared in The Unit and were later used in Triple Frontier, albeit with a different accessories configuration.
Ex-Navy SEALs Sam (Alexander Wraith), and Billy (Anthony Cutolo) both uses Blaser R93 LRS2 sniper rifles throughout the course of the film, providing sniper cover for Chon and Ben.
