Kimber Warrior SOC

Dan brings his personal Kimber Warrior SOC fitted with a Surefire X300 and extended magazine release when he is drafted and uses it as his sidearm throughout the film. He uses it most prominently during the first encounter with the Whitespikes in Miami Beach and during the climax in the Russian Arctic.

Rifles

BCM rifle (as the "MK III" and "MK IV")

The main rifles issued to conscripted soldiers sent forward in time are modified BCM carbines with HERA Arms CQR furniture. They are seen with various accessories, including Trijicon ACOG scopes, Trijicon SRO reflex sights in offset mounts, V Seven Helios linear compensators, and Inforce Gen2 WMLs. As seen in the image below, Xtreme Props, which supplied the weapons for the production, built two different BCM rifle designs: The "MK III", which has an 8" barrel, and the "MK IV", which has a 14.5" barrel. Since the weapons' rail handguards are completely covered by BCM rail cover sections, it is not clear whether they are BCM KMR (KeyMod) or MCMR (M-LOK) rails.

Dan (Chris Pratt) fires his 8" barreled BCM at an alien.

Sgt. Diaz (Seychelle Gabriel) demonstrates the rifle at the base. Moments before, she holds the weapon up to the conscripts and says "This is-" but the camera cuts and the name of the weapon is never heard.

Dan scans the area ahead as he moves forward with the group.

Cowan (Mike Mitchell) and Norah (Mary Lynn Rajskub) take up a defensive position outside the lab.

M4A1
