Terminator Salvation The Machinima Series (2009)

Terminator Salvation: The Machinima Series is a 2009 science fiction series comprising of six short episodes that together form a prequel story to the film Terminator Salvation. Unlike that film, The Machinima Series is an animated work made with video game technology from the tie-in game. Unlike other machinama series, it is officially licensed by Warner Brothers.

The following weapons were used in the series Terminator Salvation The Machinima Series:

M4A1 Carbine

The main characters, Resistance pilot Blair Williams (voiced by Moon Bloodgood) and computer hacker Laz Howard, are armed with standard M4A1 Carbines. Every other human character is armed with the same model M4A1.

Colt M4A1 Carbine - 5.56x45mm.

Williams carries her M4A1 Carbine in the low ready position

A good shot of the left side of the receiver.

A member of the Resistance with his M4A1. (Is that a hockey helmet?)

Even though the developers mapped both sides of the gun, goofs like this still occurred.

Remington 870 Folding Stock

A Remington 870 Folding Stock shotgun is retrieved from the body of a fallen Resistance fighter by Blair Williams and is used in a fight with a T-600.

Remington 870 Police Folder with extended magazine tube - stock extended - 12 gauge

The Remington 870 next to the dead Resistance member.

The forend is a bit more ornate than expected. (Note that the shotgun has changed hands.)

Blair Williams aims the Remington 870 at a T-600.

Browning M2HB

Browning M2HB guns are seen mounted on technicals operated by the Resistance.

Browning M2HB on vehicle mount - .50 BMG

Williams uses a Browning M2HB to engage aerial HK's in a high-speed street battle.

An M2 mounted... on a barrel.

GAU-8/A Avenger

The General Electric GAU-8/A Avenger cannon is seen firing from Blair Williams' A-10 Warthog ground attack plane.

General Electric GAU-8/A Avenger - 30x173mm

A head-on shot of Blair's A-10.

Dillon Aero M134D

The Dillon Aero M134 Minigun is the main weapon of the T-600 Terminator. This minigun is held in a single hand by a forward mounted pistol grip.

Dillon Aero M134 minigun - 7.62x51mm.

A T-600 carries an M134 Minigun. The backpack ammo case is also visible.

There appear to be two different models used for the minigun.

The less detailed version here, just prior to firing.

The Moto-Terminators have a pair of miniguns on them as well.

RPG-7

Williams uses an RPG-7 rocket launcher in multiple scenes against various robotic Terminator targets.

RPG-7 - 70mm.

Williams aims an RPG-7.

Laz Howard with a freshly fired RPG.

Blair reloads an RPG. Being based on the video game, her reloads come out of nowhere.

M230 Chain Gun

The cannons on the Hunter-Killers appear to be or are based on the M230 Chain Gun.

Hughes/Alliant Techsystems M230 30mm Chain Gun

Hand Grenade

Williams uses a generic hand grenade to destroy multiple crab-like T-7T Terminators.

The hand grenade in flight. Notice that the spoon has remained in place.
