Terminator Salvation

Terminator Salvation (2009)

Terminator Salvation is the fourth installment in the Terminator film series. Unlike the previous entries, this film takes place in the post-apocalyptic world following the nuclear holocaust seen in the third film. Christian Bale takes over the role of John Connor, a soldier in the newly formed Resistance to the Machines, who is unsure about trusting a human survivor named Marcus (Sam Worthington). The film was directed by McG (3 Days to Kill) and co-stars Moon Bloodgood, Common, and Michael Ironside.

The following weapons were used in the film Terminator Salvation:

Handguns

Heckler & Koch Mark 23

The Heckler & Koch Mark 23 is carried by John Connor (Christian Bale) as his sidearm throughout the movie. He notably makes a tactical transition from his HK416D to his Mark 23 while engaging HydroBots and then levels it at Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), who emerged from the same water. A pilot during the river scene also uses one to neutralize a hydrobot.

Heckler & Koch Mark 23 - .45 ACP.

Connor searches the Skynet manufacturing room with his Mark 23, keeping it leveled with a flashlight using the Harries technique.

Connor empties his Mark 23 into the head of an attacking T-600 Terminator, which is more likely to kill himself than do anything to the Terminator.

A production still of the same scene.

Connor crawls away after his Mark 23 locks empty.

A helicopter pilot fires his Mark 23 into an attacking HydroBot.

Note use of full-flash blanks, evident by huge muzzle flash.

Connor uses his Mark 23 to shoot the liquid nitrogen pipes while fighting the T-800 prototype.

IMI Desert Eagle Mark XIX

An IMI Desert Eagle Mark XIX with a black finish is used by Blair Williams (Moon Bloodgood) as her sidearm in the film. A crazed survivor named Carnahan (Michael Papajohn) takes it and holds it on her, but she reacquires it from him after informing him the weapon is not chambered and shoots him in the leg. In a scene from the director's cut, General Ashdown (Michael Ironside) is seen drawing a stainless Desert Eagle Mark XIX on John Connor. His Desert Eagle is only briefly seen in the original cut, when he holsters it while on-board the submarine.

IMI Desert Eagle Mark XIX - .50 AE

Blair Williams (Moon Bloodgood) aims her Desert Eagle in a promotional still. Note large bore diameter and lack of fluted barrel, indicating it's chambered in .50 AE.

Carnahan (Michael Papajohn) brandishes Blair's stolen Desert Eagle.

He then levels it on her and cocks the hammer. Luckily for her, he doesn't brass check it to ensure it's chambered, giving her and Marcus time to disarm him.

Blair shoots the crazed survivor in the leg with her Desert Eagle. It would appear the the weapon was only loaded with one round for the scene, as it has locked back empty.

IMI Desert Eagle Mark XIX (Nickel)

In a scene from the director's cut, General Ashdown (Michael Ironside) is seen drawing a stainless Desert Eagle Mark XIX on John Connor. His Desert Eagle is only briefly seen in the original cut, when he holsters it while on-board the submarine.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch UMP-9

Rifles

Heckler & Koch HK416D

A Heckler & Koch HK416D is used by John Connor (Christian Bale) for much of the film. The HK416 is fitted with a C-More Railway red dot sight, flip up iron sights, and a Surefire Millennium Universal weapon-light on the right rail. He uses it to shoot a T-600 in the head and to fire at Hydrobots when his chopper crashes in the river.

M4A1 Carbine

One of the refugees that ambushes Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin), Star (Jadagrace), and Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington) is seen armed with a standard M4A1 Carbine fitted with a Surefire tactical light. Several M4s are also seen loaded in a weapons rack on the tow truck, also fitted with Surefire tactical lights.

M4A1 Carbine with M26 MASS

John Connor (Christian Bale) uses an M4A1 Carbine with an M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System attachment, a C-More red dot sight, a Surefire tactical light, and standard iron sights when he goes to the Skynet compound to rescue Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin). He later detaches the MASS from the M4 and uses it to ineffectively combat the T-800. Due to the lack of a pistol grip on the weapon, he is forced to fire it from an awkward stance to handle the recoil.

Shotguns

Remington 870 (Custom)

A Remington 870 shotgun with synthetic furniture, fitted with a custom Royal Arms 12 point breaching muzzle and saddle shell holder is the main weapon of Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin). He uses it during the chase scene to fire at the Moto-Terminators and uses it to shoot the tanker. He also uses it to threaten Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington) to take off his jacket and to protect Star (Jadagrace) from the San Francisco scavengers. In one notable scene, Marcus teaches Kyle how to tie a lanyard/sling to his Remington to prevent it from being taken from him, echoing how he will prepare his shotgun in the first Terminator film.

Kyle fires the 870 at the tanker in an attempt to blow it up. Realistically, it doesn't so a road flare is used to ignite it instead.

M26 MASS (Modular Accessory Shotgun System)

While he first has it mounted on his M4, Connor uses the M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System by itself when he gets into close quarters combat with a T-800. It's unknown why he decided to detach it from his M4, since he is then forced to use it with no grip or stock to fire it with, instead having to hold the front end awkwardly to absorb recoil.

M26 MASS Standalone version - 12 Gauge.

M60D

M60Ds are seen as part of an M23 Armament System mounted on the Huey helicopters of the Resistance. Connor uses one from a downed Huey to destroy a damaged T-600 Terminator. John later uses one to fire at Marcus Wright when he escapes from the Resistance Compound.

Garwood Industries M134G minigun

The M134 Minigun is the main weapon of the "Infiltrator" rubber skinned T-600 Terminator. This minigun is held in a single hand by a forward mounted pistol grip supported aft by a gauntlet around the Terminator's forearm. This format makes Brian Steele (the actor who did the motion capture for the T-600) the second actor to fire a minigun one-handed, the first to fire the full-size version. Actor Matthew G. Taylor was the first when he carried a cut-down version as the Nemesis in Resident Evil: Apocalypse. This particular minigun is an M134G refitted by Garwood Industries.

An Infiltration T-600 with its rubber skin and clothing mostly worn off fires a M134 minigun on its right arm, while wielding an M203 grenade launcher on its left. It's questionable how well these weapons fit with its role as an "infiltrator", but it's possible some T-600s were given a more general combat role.

Launchers

RM Equipment M203PI Grenade Launcher

Along with the minigun, the rubber skinned "Infiltrator" T-600 (Brian Steele) has a modified RM Equipment M203PI grenade launcher mounted on its left arm. Despite the fact that it is mounted, the launcher itself is an early version of the standalone model with the pistol grip and sliding stock removed. The Terminator fires the M203PI randomly at the building Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin) hides in. In the battle in Skynet's Terminator factory, John Connor uses an unmodified model of the same standalone M203PI along with a standalone M26 MASS before giving it to Kyle Reese. Reese also uses this M203PI on a MotoTerminator, which he seemed to acquire from inside the tow truck.

The grenade rounds used by Connor looked to possibly be MEI HELLHOUNDs; four are stowed on Connor's left forearm but couldn't be readily identified for certain. If he was using these, it's likely due to the armor piercing shape charge design of the rounds, similar to anti-tank rocket rounds. Seeing as they don't have much more effect than to throw the T-800 around they are either not shown working properly, or are not these rounds. The rounds used by the T-600 and the method of reloading were not shown or clearly visible. It should be noted that the T-600's grenade launcher has a flexible hose leading from the rear of the weapon to his ammo pack. It might be intended to be part of a loading mechanism for a multi-shot grenade launcher.
