Reindeer Games is a 2000 heist film starring Ben Affleck as an ex-convict who is coerced into helping rob a casino in Michigan by a psychotic trucker (Gary Sinise). It is most notable for being the final theatrical release from famed director John Frankenheimer (best known for films like The Manchurian Candidate and Ronin, among others).

The following weapons were used in this movie:

Reindeer Games (2000)


Franchi PA3/215

For much of the movie, Gabriel (Gary Sinise) carries a Franchi PA3/215 as his weapon-of-choice. In one scene of the film, Rudy Duncan (Ben Affleck) briefly gets ahold of the PA3.

After Ashley falls beneath the ice on a frozen lake, Rudy dives in and uses the PA3 to shoot his way out.


Colt Python

Merlin (Clarence Williams III) carries a 6" Colt Python .357 revolver (with a stainless finish) in the scene where Gabriel tells him to shoot Rudy.

Glock 22

Gabriel is seen in many scenes carrying a Glock 22 in .40 S&W, which is also used at the end of the movie by Ashley (Charlize Theron). It seems to be a Glock 22 based on its muzzle diameter, which appears too large to be 9mm.

Glock 22 (2nd Generation) - .40 Smith & Wesson.


Unknown self-loading rifle

Gabriel (Gary Sinise) uses a powerful self-loading rifle in one scene while chasing Rudy and Ashley through a forest. It should be noted that Sinise highly exaggerates the recoil of this weapon when firing it.

Smith & Wesson 5906

Merlin (Clarence Williams III) briefly uses a Smith & Wesson 5906 (which is not seen very closely or very clearly) in one scene.

Smith & Wesson Model 5906 9x19mm


Olympic Arms K23B

An Olympic Arms K23B compact assault rifle is used by Gabriel (Gary Sinise) during the casino heist. This weapon is also used by Jack Bangs (Dennis Farina), akimbo with his Uzi.

An Olympic Arms K23B similar to the CAR-15s seen in Reindeer Games. The one in the movie has the M4A1-style flat top receiver with the carry handle removed, whereas this gun has an A2 receiver and the newer-style collapsible stock, but the barrel and forearm are identical.


Mossberg 500

Merlin's (Clarence Williams III's) weapon during the casino heist is a shorty Mossberg 500, fitted with forward and rear pistol grips, a heat shield, and extra shell holder. It is also seen in the weapons storage compartment in Gabriel's big rig. This seems to be the exact same shotgun that was used by Kevin Costner in 3000 Miles to Graceland.

Mossberg 500 with heat shield - 12 Gauge


Beretta 92FS Inox

Pug (Donal Logue) uses a pair of Beretta 92FS Inox pistols during the casino heist. One of these pistols is also visible in the weapons storage compartment in Gabriel's big rig.

Beretta 92FS Inox - 9x19mm


Ithaca 37

A sawed-off Ithaca 37 shotgun is carried by Jumpy (Danny Trejo) during the casino heist. This gun is also visible in the weapons storage compartment in Gabriel's big rig.

Rudy's Beretta 92FS Water Pistol

When Gabriel's gang carries out the casino heist, Rudy convinces them to take him along. Gabriel doesn't want to give Rudy a real gun, so he instead gives him a plastic water pistol shaped like a Beretta 92FS. The prop itself seems to be an inexpensive airsoft Beretta 92FS that has been dressed up to look more like a squirt gun, as there aren't many (if any) water pistols in real life which bear such a close resemblance to real guns.

Beretta 92FS - 9x19mm


Smith & Wesson 686 Snub

In the casino heist, Ashley (Charlize Theron) carries a snub-nose Smith & Wesson Model 686 with adjustable sights, which is later also used by Nick (James Frain).

Smith & Wesson Model 686 Snub - .357 Magnum


Mossberg 500 Mariner

A Mossberg 500 Mariner is used by one of the guards in the casino vault.

Taurus PT92

Most of the guards in the casino carry Taurus PT92s as their sidearms.

Taurus PT92 - 9x19mm


Cobray M11/9

When Jack Bangs (Dennis Farina) opens his "Pow Wow" safe, he pulls out a pair of submachine gun and starts spraying Gabriel's crew with automatic weapon-fire. One of the subguns he draws is a converted Cobray M11/9, which is only seen very briefly (and not clearly) before he drops it and switches to his Uzi.

Cobray M11/9 - 9x19mm


IMI Uzi

The other of Jack Bangs' (Dennis Farina's) two submachine guns is a full-size Uzi, which he uses at one point akimbo with Gabriel's Olympic Arms K23B.

IMI Uzi - 9x19mm


SIG-Sauer P226

Rudy Duncan (Ben Affleck) briefly wields a nickel-plated SIG-Sauer P226 during the casino heist, apparently after capturing it from a guard. He is forced to surrender the weapon after Gabriel and Ashley corner him.

SIG-Sauer P226 (nickel) - 9x19mm


Norinco Type 84

A Norinco Type 84 assault rifle is visible in the weapons storage compartment in Gabriel's big rig.

Norinco Type 84 - 5.56x45mm


Calico M960A

A Calico M960A submachine gun with a 100-round magazine and a scope is visible in the weapons storage compartment in Gabriel's big rig.

Calico M960A - 9x19mm


Magnum Research Desert Eagle Mark I
