The following weapons were used in the movie Serenity:

Mal's gun/Dressed up Taurus Model 85 "Moses Brothers Self-Defense Engine Frontier Model B"

Malcolm Reynold's (Nathan Fillion) signature pistol is the "Moses Brothers Self-Defense Engine Frontier Model B", a Taurus Model 85 revolver completely covered by a brass casting which makes it look like an semi-auto handgun. The Look of the weapon is based on the Volcanic repeaters used in the civil war (pictured below) as explained by TV show and film creator Joss Whedon in the visual companion.

The same prop gun was used for the feature, but given to a new prop house who made the clip straight on the bottom, and bulked up the right side plate and added a spring loaded rear sight.

Winchester Model 92 Mare's Leg

Zoe's signature weapon is a Winchester Model 92 carbine cut down to pistol length and mounted with a "scope". The piece is similar to the one popularized by Steve McQueen in the western TV series Wanted: Dead or Alive. Producers have stated that this is the same prop used in "The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr."

Jayne's(Adam Baldwin) Custom M1911

Throughout the film, Jayne (Adam Baldwin) carries an M1911 like pistol with dressings to the front and rear of the slide to make it look more futuristic. For a scene, River stole it from Jayne (Adam Baldwin) and held Mal at gun point while she searches for the planet Miranda.

H&K MP5K

Jayne Cobb's(Adam Baldwin) other main weapon is a dressed up H&K MP-5K with the front hand grip removed and LED lights added, carried on a chest harness. A similar example is used prominently by Kaylee in the final firefight. It also uses the old straight type magazine. Wash also held one when they were searching Miranda.

A "faux" Heckler & Koch MP5K - this is an original SP89 pistol converted to full auto fire by a Class III armorer. Giveaways are the lack of a paddle magazine release. This version was also used in movies between 1989 and the late 1990s when factory original MP5Ks were not available - 9x19mm

M1A1 Carbine

A pair of folded M1A1 Carbines are seen in the gun rack on the back of the "Mule" hovercraft at the beginning of the film.

World War Two Era M1 Carbine, with Dark Walnut Stock, 'L' peep sight and no bayonet lug - correct for most of WW2, shown with khaki sling and oiler and a period twin magazine pouch for buttstock

Vetterli M1869/71

During the payroll robbery scene, a bank clerk is briefly seen carrying a cut-down Swiss Vetterli M1869/71 rifle, identifiable by its spurred trigger guard.

Type 94 or Kyuuyon-Shiki Kenjuu

During the payroll robbery scene, a customer is seen producing a Japanese T-94 pistol before being sensed by River and disarmed by Zoe. The history behind this handgun is that it is one of the worst in the Japanese military during WWII. It is hard to tell from the screen that this is even a Type 94 at all.

Enfield No.2 Mk.I*

During the fight scene in the bar, a patron pulls a heavily-modified Enfield No.2 Mk.I revolver before being subdued by River, who takes it and aims it at Mal. It has the barrel cut back into the frame, a shortened grip, and a number of attachments to the front and rear of the frame.

There is a very good chance the base gun under the dressing is a webley/enfield 380 snub nosed revolver.

Dressed up MP5SD

Dressed up MP5SDs are carried by several characters throughout the movie, most notably Jayne(Adam Baldwin) first scene in the bank job and remained his primary weapon for the rest of the film and also Simon during the final firefight. They have some kind of scope attachment which looks more like a flashlight. There are dressings on the front end of the barrel and on the fore end of the weapon. Like Jayne's(Adam Baldwin) MP5K, it also uses the straight type magazines.

Armalite AR-18

An AR-18 modified with a handguard and front sight similar to a MAT-49 submachine gun is carried by Mal at several points in the movie, most notably while searching the abandoned city on Miranda, and before the final firefight. It has some sort of scope attachment and the magazine has some kind of dressing maybe a magpull.

Dressed up bullpup AK-47 (or VEPR)

During the final firefight, Jayne(Adam Baldwin) carries a rather large rifle which appears to be built around an AK converted into bullpup configuration. A custom machined scope as well as a large number of parts are attached to disguise it, including what resembles a water jacket from a Vickers machine gun (though this is custom also).

if you look at the bottom of the gun in the first picture you can see they took the magazine tube and forward stock off of what appears to bee a mossburg 500- vince

Mateba

A reoccuring weapon on the show is a fictional Mateba variant. This gun is held by River Tam on the poster, and may be used in the final fight by Jayne Cobb(Adam Baldwin), and Zoe.

Winchester 1897 "Trench Gun"

During the search on Miranda and at the beginning of the final fight, Zoe used this shotgun, which had a scope mounted on it. It's a dressed up WWII 1897 trench shotgun.

Alliance Weapons

Most of the weapons used by Alliance forces in the film are modified paintball markers of various makes and models. These were sold to private collectors and movie museums through the auction house "Propstore of London" after the film wrapped.
