The following guns were used in the movie The Rock

The Rock (1996)


M14

A Marine at the funeral during the opening credits can be seen briefly holding an M14 rifle.

Beretta 92FS

The Recon Marines carry Beretta 92FS (military designation, M9) pistols as their sidearms. Beretta M9s are the standard side arm for all the Navy SEALs including Stanley Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage), all with tactical flashlight attachments. Goodspeed points his at John Mason (Sean Connery), who swipes it out of his hand, but later gives it back to Goodspeed to defend himself with, and he uses it notably in the underground tunnels to kill one Marine, with little hesitation, as Mason notes.

Cpt. Darrow aims his M9 at Hummel.

Beretta 92FS Inox

Major Baxter (David Morse) uses a Beretta 92FS Inox as his sidearm. He draws it on Hummel before turning the gun on Darrow and firing at him before being gunned down by the other Marines.

Beretta 92SB

One of the Marines, Captain Darrow (Tony Todd) is seen using an older 92SB (which has a rounded trigger guard, rather than squared, like on the 92FS/M9) with wood grips during the scene in which Hummel and his men use a hostage to draw Goodspeed and Mason out of hiding.

I might be wrong, but I don't think this is Captain Darrow holding this gun. I think it's the other big black guy, the one who tells Goodspeed, "I'd take pleasure in guttin' you, boy" after he gets captured, and who attacks him with the M60 at the lighthouse. Whoever it is has HUGE hands, as you can tell by the fact that there isn't enough space on the grip for his pinky. -MT2008

Beretta 92FS Centurion Inox

During the hotel scene Goodspeed is given a Beretta 92FS Centurion Inox by another FBI field agent after he arrives in San Francisco and tells Womack (John Spencer) that he forgot his FBI-issue sidearm.

M16A2

Marines at the funeral use real M16A2 rifles for the 3 volley salute.

M16A1 (w/ M16A2 handguards)

Many of the Marines under General Hummel's (Ed Harris) command are armed with M16A1 assault rifles fitted with M16A2 handguards. They are easily noticed as A1 models by the lack of a brass deflector and elevation-adjustable rear sight, older forward assists, and fully-automatic firing modes. Most of them have tactical flashlights installed on the barrels.

Major Baxter (David Morse), standing next to Hummel, aims his M16A1 at the Navy SEALS.
Sgt. Crisp (Bokeem Woodbine) armed with an M16A1. Don't be fooled by the handguards into thinking that this is an M16A2; note the lack of a brass deflector, lack of an A2-style rear sight, and the older style forward assist.

Colt Commando variants

Colt CAR-15 Commando look-a-like rifles seen being used by many of the Marines. Mason and Goodspeed take two for themselves later in the film. The Commandos in the film all have 10" barrels and older-style flash suppressors, but also have various receiver styles. Some have A1 receivers, others have A2 receivers, and others have the forward assist and brass deflector but not the A2-style rear sight. Some have tactical flashlights on the barrels.

A notable goof is that the receivers of the guns held by individual characters change throughout the film (for instance, the Commando handed to Goodspeed by Mason clearly has an A2 receiver when he first gets it, but later, it has an A1 receiver).

When going over Hummel's military file, he is seen armed with a Colt Commando in Vietnam.
Major Baxter (David Morse) with a Colt Commando.
A Marine aims his Colt Commando at Goodspeed. The large muzzle break is pretty obvious in this shot.
Mason gives Goodspeed the Colt Commando after killing the Marine aiming it at him. This rifle has an M16A2-style upper receiver, though the lower receiver lacks the fencing on the magazine release, and may have been taken from a civilian AR15 variant.
Mason firing the Colt Commando.
Cpt. Frye returns fire on Mason. Note that the receiver of his gun has an A1-style rear sight, but it does have the brass deflector. The lower is also missing the fencing near the magazine release, so this again might be a civilian AR15 lower or a very early GAU-5/A lower.
Cpt. Frye fires his Colt Commando at Goodspeed, which now lacks a shell deflector.

M16 (SP1) + CM203 Flare Launcher

Some of the Marines have M16 (SP1) slab-side rifles fitted with Cobray CM203 37mm Launchers, standing in for the HE M203 grenade launchers. Captain Darrow (Tony Todd) is most commonly seen with this combo gun as his weapon.

Actually, Darrow's gun changes a whole bunch of times. Sometimes it's an A1, sometimes it's an SP1, and then just before he throws it down in the lighthouse, it's actually an XM177 with an M203. Also, several of the other Marines can be seen using XM177 look-a-likes with M203s. -MT2008

MAC-10

Hummel can be seen holding a MAC-10 in a Vietnam service picture. This image is actually taken from one of Ed Harris' earlier film roles, the Charles Bronson vehicle Borderline.

Colt M1911A1

The main villain of the film, General Frank Hummel (Ed Harris) carries a stainless Colt M1911A1 as his sidearm of choice throughout the film. It is seen being pulled out by Hummel, who then shoots Sergeant Crisp during the confrontation.

Hummel shoots Crisp. Two goofs are present. The gun is clearly a harmless flashpaper gun as nothing cycles, and the squib is a bit too much to the right.

Heckler & Koch MP5A3/A5

Heckler & Koch MP5A3 submachine guns are used by the Navy SEALs during the failed rescue mission of the prison. They have Surefire dedicated forend weaponlights. Mason wields an MP5A3 he commandeers from a dead SEAL, and uses it in the first half of the movie.

Lt. Shepard (Danny Nucci) about to go up and get shot with his MP5A3.

A handful of the MP5s used by the SEALs also appear to have the 4-position trigger group (for safe, semi, 3-round burst, and full-auto) and smooth lower reciever, which makes them MP5A5s rather than A3s.

A SEAL fires his MP5A5 at the Marines.

Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW

A Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW is used by at least one of the SEALs.

Remington 870

A SEAL can be seen using a shortened tactical Remington 870 shotgun.

Heckler & Koch SP89

A Heckler & Koch SP89 by one of the SEALs during the failed attempt to save the hostages. It seems to be fitted with the collapsible stock of an MP5A3, and was evidently converted to full-auto.

DefTech Launcher

What appears to be a Defense Technologies (DefTech) 37mm launcher is used by Private McCoy (Steve Harris) in the shower room, firing shotgun like rounds at the Marines. They could also be Hornet's nest rounds, which is a grenade round with 8 .22 long rifle bullets inside.

M26 Handgrenade

Cpt. Frye (Gregory Sporleder) can be seen with two M26 hand grenades which he throws at Mason (Sean Connery) in an attempt to kill him. Mason jumps into a bathtub to avoid the blasts.

M60E3

A Marine can be seen firing an M60E3 machine gun at Goodspeed when he disables the last rocket. Mason picks it up and knocks the shooter off the roof with it.

LAR Grizzly Big-Bore

When the Marine's M60E3 is empty, he picks up a .50 BMG LAR Grizzly Big-Bore bolt-action rifle to shoot Goodspeed. He is knocked off the roof by Mason before he can use it, though.

The Marine prepares to fire the Grizzly before being killed by Mason. It is a good thing he didn't fire the gun; without the muzzle break, it would have hurt like hell.


"The Protector"

When Goodspeed is messing around in his office, he shoots a flip down target with a suction dart spring gun labeled "The Protector". It appears to be based off a Mossberg 500 "Cruiser" with barrel ribbing.

Goodspeed with "The Protector. Is this the most pointless gun ever posted on the site? Probably.
