The following weapons were used in the film Dawn of the Dead (2004):
WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Pistols
Beretta 92FS Inox
Andre (Mekhi Phifer) uses a Beretta 92FS Inox as his weapon of choice. This pistol is also used by other characters, mainly CJ (Michael Kelly) when he clears out the lower level of the mall of any zombies. Kenneth (Ving Rhames) also gets a hold of this weapon when he disarms CJ and holds it on him during the argument on the rooftop of the mall. Steve (Ty Burrell) can also been seen with a Beretta 92FS Inox with blued components (trigger, hammer, safety, disassembly latch, and slide release) when he gets out of the crashed bus, a continuity error is seen when the referred parts are stainless when he checks the gun's load.
Beretta 92FS
While the survivors are loading up at the gun store, a Beretta 92FS is among the weapons to be taken.
Glock 21
After the survivors load up at the gun store, several Glock 21 pistols are seen afterwards. CJ (Michael Kelly) hands a pair of the pistols to a wounded Tucker (Boyd Banks) to fight off the zombies chasing them in the sewers while they make their way back to the mall, CJ also uses one of these pistols as his back up weapon, and uses it to to explode a propane tank while at the docks so that the zombies can't reach the remaining survivors.
Heckler & Koch USP
When Kenneth (Ving Rhames), CJ (Michael Kelly), Terry (Kevin Zegers), and Michael (Jake Weber) enter Andy's gun store to rescue Nicole (Lindy Booth), they find an unloaded Heckler & Koch USP laying on the bloody floor. This is presumed to be the gun Andy was using to fend off zombies while letting the dog Chips, outfitted with food, through a doggy door before being bitten and infected by a zombie. This pistol is seen in the hands of Michael (Jake Weber) at the end.
M1911A1
In the beginning of the film when the zombie outbreak first starts, one of Ana's neighbors can be seen with an M1911A1 pistol and threatening her to stay back before he is hit by an out of control ambulance.
SIG-Sauer P229
When the survivors are loading up at the gun store, a SIG-Sauer P229 pistol is seen being taken off the counter.
Star Model B
Ana and Michael are seen watching the movie Animal House where Kent "Flounder" Dorfman (Stephen Furst) fires a Star Model B loaded with blanks in order to take care of Neidermeyer's horse.
Revolvers
Smith & Wesson Model 27
Two of the mall's security guards are seen with the Smith & Wesson Model 27. CJ (Michael Kelly) is seen with a Smith & Wesson Model 27 .357 Magnum during his initial standoff with the other survivors. The revolver also is seen in the hands of Terry (Kevin Zegers). Later in the film, a struggle ensues between the survivors that are currently in the mall and the former security guards on whether or not to let more survivors into the mall with CJ threatening to kill everyone to stay alive, but when he is distracted, the survivors disarm both CJ and Bart (Michael Barry). The revolver is also seen in the hands of and then mainly used by Michael (Jake Weber) for the rest of the film.
Smith & Wesson Model 13
Terry (Kevin Zegers) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 13 throughout the film. Bart (Michael Barry) can also be seen with a Smith & Wesson Model 13 revolver before it is taken from him by the other survivors.
Smith & Wesson Model 66 (Snub)
Norma (Jayne Eastwood) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 66 snub nose revolver as her weapon in the film. The weapon is also used by Ana (Sarah Polley) and is also seen when the survivors go to rescue Nicole (Lindy Booth) at Andy's gun shop.
Smith & Wesson Revolver "Non Gun"
While the survivors make their escape out of Milwaukee, Ana (Sarah Polley) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 66 "Non Gun", which temporarily replaces her actual Smith & Wesson Model 66, to put a bullet into the head of a zombified Steve (Ty Burrell). This "Non gun" was used because Polley was close to Burrell when shooting this scene, and at such close range, blanks can be considered unsafe, so a "non gun" was used.
Shotguns
Remington 870 (Police Magnum)
Kenneth (Ving Rhames) uses a police issue Remington 870 shotgun fitted with a Surefire flashlight attachment on the foregrip as his signature weapon. He uses it for most of the film until the survivors go to rescue Nicole (Lindy Booth). He loses the weapon when it runs out of ammunition and a zombie grabs it out of his hand. The gun was also briefly used by Ana (Sarah Polley) to incapacitate the undead Ben Cozine early on in the film.
Remington 870 (Non Gun)
When escaping from the gun store, Tucker's shotgun appears to switch from a Mossberg 500 Cruiser to a short Remington 870 Non Gun version.
Customized Remington 870
After the survivors rescue Nicole (Lindy Booth) and load up at the gun store, Kenneth (Ving Rhames) packs a customized Remington 870 shotgun fitted with a magazine extension tube and Mossberg-style ghost ring sights (this is possible since some parts are easily swapped between Remington 870 and Mossberg 500 series shotguns) and uses it while the remaining survivors make their escape out of Milwaukee. Kenneth most notably uses this shotgun on a zombified Andy (Bruce Bohne). Ving also knows how to use a weapon effectively, because he doesn't flinch excessively and whenever he isn't firing, he demonstrates the excellent trigger discipline of a Marine.
Mossberg 500 Cruiser
One of the survivors, Tucker (Boyd Banks) has a Mossberg 500 Cruiser with a pistol grip. This weapon is also used by Michael (Jake Weber) and CJ (Michael Kelly).
Franchi PA8
When the survivors load up at the Andy's (Bruce Bohne) gun store, CJ (Michael Kelly) arms himself with a Franchi PA8 with a factory folding stock and high-capacity magazine tube, and uses it while they make their escape out of Milwaukee. From the report of the gun and the look of the wounds it inflicts, it seems he is using rifled slugs.
Rifles
Winchester Model 70
Andy (Bruce Bohne), the owner of the gun store across the street, is armed with what appears to be a Winchester Model 70 fitted in a camoflauged-painted stock with a folding bipod which he uses to play "Hollywood Squares" with the other survivors stranded in the mall on the other side of the street in which Kenneth (Ving Rhames) shows Andy a celebrity's name on a dry erase board, and Andy puts a bullet in the zombie look-a-like's head. CJ (Michael Kelly) later uses Andy's rifle to explode a propane tank to clear a path to the sewers for the other survivors.
Heckler & Koch G36
During the opening credits during one of the news broadcasts, a soldier in Istanbul can be seen firing a Heckler & Koch G36 assault rifle (fitted with a G36C-style carry handle) before being overwhelmed by zombies.
M16A2
News footage shows US soldiers with the M16A2 rifle.
Machine Guns
M60E4
In the opening credits during one of the various news broadcasts, a soldier (played by director Zack Snyder) can be seen firing an M60E4 Machine Gun in front of the U.S. Capitol. Note the large triangular front sight.
DVD Special Feature "Andy's Terrifying Last Days Revealed"
An extra featurette on the DVD release features a 'recovered home video' of the gun store owner Andy (Bruce Bohne), and his dealing with the zombie outbreak from (mostly) inside his gun shop. In this featurette, the following firearms are seen -
Heckler & Koch MP5A2
In some scenes, Andy (Bruce Bohne) can be seen carrying around an Heckler & Koch MP5A2 with a Flashlight attachment, but is never seen firing it.
Safari Arms .45
In some scenes, Andy (Bruce Bohne) can be seen carrying around a Safari Arms .45 with a Surefire 310R/610R flashlight attachment mounted on.
SIG-Sauer SSG 3000
In some scenes, Andy (Bruce Bohne) can be seen with what looks like a SIG-Sauer SSG 3000 although he used a Winchester Model 70 in the film, but it's quite possible that it could have been one of the many other guns in Andy's store.
