The Running Man is a 1987 science fiction action film set in the near future and stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as a wrongly convicted police helicopter pilot who is forced to compete in a sadistic television reality game show. The film was based on a Stephen King short story (written under the pseudonym Richard Bachman) and was directed by Paul Michael Glaser.


The following weapons were used in the film The Running Man:

Rifles

Steyr AUG

The Steyr AUG is seen in the hands of Ben Richards (Arnold Schwarzenegger), Bakersfield Police officers, the ICS security guards and the guerrillas.

Colt Commando

The Colt Commando is used by Ben Richards (Arnold Schwarzenegger), Laughlin (Yaphet Kotto), Chico (Thomas Rosales Jr.) and a number of prisoners during the escape from the Wilshire Detention Zone as well as a number of the prison guards at the beginning of the film; and in the hands of the Guerrillas towards the end of the film.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch HK94

The converted Heckler & Koch HK94 is used by Richards (Arnold Schwarzenegger) during the final assault. A similar weapon is used by Arnold Schwarzenegger a year earlier in the film Raw Deal.

A customized Micro Uzi is carried by Amber Mendez (Maria Conchita Alonso) during the assault on the ICS Building. Her Micro-Uzi has some parts chrome plated, indicating this exact same weapon was seen in Total Recall, Predator 2, and The Class of 1999. It is fitted with a 15-round magazine, barrel extension, and scope.

Other

M134 Minigun

The M134 Minigun is seen mounted in M21 Armament Subsystem on the side of the Huey gunship in the Bakersfield Massacre scene. Trivia: The scene where the M134 Minigun was fired was taken from the 1976 remake of King Kong, specifically the sequence where Huey gunships open fire with their miniguns when Kong is top of the World Trade Center. This moment inspired this funny video.

The M134 minigun is seen firing on civilians as the Bakersfield Massacre is seen depicted on the television screen. This is footage taken from King Kong (1976).
