After the end of the fourth film, Peter Strahm tries by any means to find Jigsaw's accomplice. While conducting his own investigation, he comes face to face with Detective Mark Hoffman. At the same time, Hoffman conducts a new game, the victims of which are five people, who were all in some way involved in a case of arson in which eight people were killed. A sequel, titled Saw VI, was released in 2009.

The following weapons were used in the film Saw V:

Glock 17

Agent Strahm (Scott Patterson) carries a 2nd Generation Glock 17 once more throughout the film. In the continuation of the previous film in the beginning, he uses it to kill Jeff (Angus Macfadyen). After that, he finds a secret exit from the operating room with the corpse of Jigsaw, but falls into a trap, because of which he is forced to take part in his own test. All this time, his service Glock was a few meters away. When a police officer closes the doors of an ambulance that picks up the wounded Strahm after completing the test, a pistol that looks like a Glock 17 can be seen in his belt holster. Erickson (Mark Rolston) tries to find evidence of Strahm's involvement in the Jigsaw case, and therefore goes to Gideon meatpacking plant. There, he uses a his Glock 17. When Hoffman arrives home, he hears a strange noise. This scares him and he checks the floor, keeping his Glock 17 ready. At the end, when Agent Strahm is trapped in the compactor room, he uses it to attempt to breach the glass coffin protecting Mark Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) before he is crushed to death. Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) also carries a Glock 17 in the film as his duty sidearm and draws it when he's hunting for Strahm near the film's finale. As before in Saw III, a sound error is made. In the compactor room scene, Strahm's Glock sounds as though it is suppressed when he fires it at the glass coffin.

The detective pulls a Ruger GP100 from under his jacket and hands it to John. Kramer mounts the revolver in "Magnum Eyehole" trap and, together with Mark, checks its performance and loads the ammo.

Shotguns

12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun

In a flashback, Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) attacks and kidnaps Mark Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) in the elevator of his own house. When Hoffman wakes up, Mark sees that he is chained to a "Shotgun Chair", which is a regular chair with straps on the armrests and a 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun holding by another leather restrain bound around the Hoffman's chest and pointed to his head. Additionally, the trigger was connected to the arm restraints by a thin cord, which would be pulled tight once the victim tried to move his arms too much. Hoffman tries to gently free his hand, but stops as soon as he sees the cord tightening. Jigsaw explains that the detective is here because he he stages a murder of Seth Baxter (Joris Jarsky) disguised as one of Jigsaw's games. And after forcing Hoffman to explain himself, John pulls one of the shotgun's triggers, but nothing happens. After that he frees Mark and reveals that only the opposite chamber was loaded, and that the whole setup was a ploy to blackmail Hoffman into assisting Jigsaw in his future "games".

Others

Billy the Puppet Gun

In archive footage from the Saw IV, the cannon hidden in the Billy's head shoots at Agent Perez (Athena Karkanis) again, when Agent Strahm realizes that all of Hoffman's rivals must have died.

In a short excerpt from the Saw IV, the doll's face explodes, shooting shrapnel.

Nails Bomb

During each trial of The Fatal Five's Trial, nail bombs were installed in the rooms, similar to the one in Troy trial. At the end of the allotted time, the bombs detonate, destroying everything that was in the room. In the first room with the neck ties, two bombs were planted, on either side of the TV. As soon as the tape ended, the device was triggered and the countdown started. The victims had fifteen minutes to pass the test. Everyone except Ashley Kazon (Laura Gordon) manages to free himself from the collars and leave the room before the explosion. The same bombs were installed in the second, third and fourth rooms. The essence of the test in the second room is that the victims must break the glass jars suspended from the ceiling in order to obtain the key to the rescue shelter. If they do not have time, they will die from the explosion, which is what happens to Charles Salomon (Carlo Rota), who decided to betray the others. A bath with several wires was waiting in the next room for the survivors. The test was that they had to connect all the wires to open the door. Otherwise, a bomb mounted on a small shelf on the wall will kill them. In this test, Luba Gibbs (Meagan Good) dies because of the betrayal of Brit Stevenson (Julie Benz). Bombs are also planted in the last room, but they are not activated, since Brit and Mallick Scott (Greg Bryk) have successfully passed the final test.

While the victims watch the tape with instructions, two bombs are visible next to the TV.

And as soon as the TV tape ends, the device on top of it is triggered and the bombs are activated. The victims now have fifteen minutes to get the keys out of the glass boxes, otherwise they will die.
