Dog Soldiers

The following weapons were seen in the film Dog Soldiers: Minor plot spoilers in some of the descriptions.

Dog Soldiers (2002)

SA80

SA80's are used by the British Army team during the training exercise at the start of the film, with military blank adapters and SUSAT sights attached. They are later ditched when the team discover the dead Special Ops team, as they would be useless against a real threat.

Browning Hi-Power

The Browning Hi-Power is used many times throughout the film, first by Captain Ryan (Liam Cunningham) during Private Coopers (Kevin McKidd) Special Ops training, then by Sgt. Wells (Sean Pertwee) during the attack on the farmhouse, and finally by Pvt. Cooper to kill Ryan in his werewolf form.

On an interesting note, during Cooper's training, Ryan's Browning doesn't have a magazine in the gun yet he manages to chamber a round then shoot a dog in the head and not have the slide lock back.

If there's no mag in the gun, then of course the slide won't lock back. The magazine has to be in the gun for that to happen. -MT2008

H&K G3A3

A Heckler & Koch G3A3 is another weapon taken from the Special Forces camp and used by Private "Spoon" Witherspoon (Darren Morfitt) and then by Private Terry Milburn (Leslie Simpson) after swapping his MP5A2 for it. After Terry is taken and killed by the werewolves this weapon is not seen again throughout the rest of the film, although he was not shown holding it when taken. The rifle used in the movie had difficulty handling blanks and the bolt had to be manually cycled occasionally. It seems the flash hider was removes from the gun.

Mossberg 500

A Mossberg 500 shotgun is taken from the Special Ops camp and is used by Pvt. Joe Kirkley (Chris Robson) throughout the farmhouse attack and escape from the forest. Many times throughout the film it is shown firing way more rounds than the real gun can hold (in the typical action movie style).

Unknown stun grenade

Used by the team against the werewolves. They are not seen taken from the Special Forces camp, so it's possible they could have been taken with the team for the training exercise. Help identifying the kind of grenade used would be greatly appreciated.

Joe readies his grenade.

Cooper rolls the final grenade toward the werewolves.

Molotov Cocktail

Used by Sgt. Wells to light a petrol trail (after Spoon fails to do so with a match) to destroy the shed where the werewolves are supposedly hiding.
