Underworld: Evolution (2006)
Underworld: Evolution is the 2006 action horror sequel to Underworld (2003). The sequel, which was directed by Underworld's Len Wiseman, follows Selene (Kate Beckinsale) as she must find a way to protect Michael (Scott Speedman) from her kind who wish to kill him. Beckinsale was absent for the majority of the 2009 prequel Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (the third film in the series), but returned in a starring role in 2012's Underworld: Awakening as well as 2016's Underworld: Blood Wars.
The following weapons were used in the film Underworld: Evolution:
Pistols
Beretta 92FS
As in the first Underworld, Selene's (Kate Beckinsale) primary weapons are a pair of Beretta 92FS pistols that have been converted to full-auto and given compensators to make them more controllable in auto-fire. Several close-ups of the guns reveal that they have SGS compensators, whereas the Berettas in the first film had barrel weights. This is because the first Underworld was filmed in Hungary and the full-auto Beretta pistols were supplied by Bapty & Co. (U.K.), whereas Underworld: Evolution was filmed in Canada and had Canadian armorers, so a different set of Berettas had to be used.
The converted Beretta 92FS pistols used in the original
Underworld, for comparison. These particular guns were
not, contrary to popular belief, used again in this film; a completely different set of Berettas were used.
Selene draws one of her full-auto Beretta 92Fs.

Scott Speedman) hand (it is possible to read
"MOD 92FS - Cal .9 Parabellum - PATENTED" on the slide if you expand the image to full-size). Note the SGS compensator, which differentiates this gun from the Beretta used in the first
Underworld.

Selene's Berettas lie next to her leather suit and the pendant that unlocks William's tomb.
At one point in the film, a two-tone Beretta 92FS can be seen in Tanis' (Steven Mackintosh) arsenal. This one has been fitted with a Beretta M93R-style forward hand grip and flash hider, but it is recognizable as a 92FS due to the slide-mounted safety.

CZ 75
The Hungarian police use CZ 75 pistols as their sidearms.

Heckler & Koch USP Match
In a flashback from the first Underworld, Kraven (Shane Brolly) is seen firing a Heckler & Koch USP Match.

IMI Desert Eagle Mark VII
Tanis' (Steven Mackintosh's) weapons cache includes a pair of Desert Eagle Mark VII pistols. Also, in a flashback to the first film, Lucian (Michael Sheen) is shown loading another Desert Eagle with UV ammunition.

Walther P99
Selene (Kate Beckinsale) also once again uses a pair of two-tone Walther P99s fitted with the Walther Laser Modules as her secondary sidearms. She acquires them from Tanis' (Steven Mackintosh's) arsenal when she goes to his castle. Although they are the same configuration as the guns used in the first Underworld, these are, as with the Berettas, a different set of pistols.

Selene reloads her P99s by slamming them together. It's never shown, though, how she manages to slide in the magazines when she has a gun in each hand!
Selene releases the slides on her P99s. Clearly visible in this shot is the filed-down lock-up on the exposed tops of the barrels, one of the many modifications made to the prop pistols in order for them to function with blanks.
Selene also uses a standard black P99 when she fights Marcus at the pier where Corvinus' (Derek Jacobi's) ship is docked, after she takes it from the body of a dead Cleaner.
Selene grabs a Cleaner's P99 from his holster.

Submachine Guns
Cobray M11/9
A nickel-plated Cobray M11/9 is visible in Tanis' (Steven Mackintosh's) arsenal. This exact same gun was also seen in Romeo Must Die and American Dragons.

Heckler & Koch MP5K
At the beginning of the film, Selene is armed with a Heckler & Koch MP5K fitted with a tactical flashlight when she and Michael (Scott Speedman) visit the vampire safehouse and re-arm.

Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Kraven (Shane Brolly) and his men are all armed with Heckler & Koch MP5A3 submachine guns fitted with Surefire forends and tactical flashlights when they go to Marcus' (Tony Curran's) tomb to kill him. Also, when Selene and Michael are in the vampire safehouse, several more MP5A3s with Surefire grips are visible in the armory. Selene takes one of these weapons in her equipment bag, but it never gets used.

Heckler & Koch UMP
Some members of Alexander Corvinus' tactical squad, the "Cleaners," use Heckler & Koch UMPs as their weapons, in keeping with the Cleaners' apparent preference for Heckler & Koch weaponry. Twice in the film, Selene is also seen wielding UMPs taken from dead Cleaners, first when she fights Marcus at the pier, and later when she fights William.

Heckler & Koch MP7A1
The Cleaners also use the Heckler & Koch MP7A1 personal defense weapon. Near the end of the film, after the Cleaners have all been turned into Lycans, Selen grabs one Cleaner's MP7 while it is still slung on his body and empties it into him at point-blank range.

Rifles
Heckler & Koch G36K
Some members of Alexander Corvinus' tactical squad, the "Cleaners," usually carry Heckler & Koch G36K carbine assault rifles as their weapon of choice, including their leader, Samuel (John Mann). In the climax of the film, Selene grabs a dead Cleaner's G36K and uses it to mow down Lycans before it runs dry. Another G36K (fitted with a G36C carry handle and loaded with UV ammunition) is wielded by Tanis (Steven Mackintosh) when Selene and Michael go to his castle, and later appears in Selene's hands after she disarms him.
Also, in several flashbacks from the first Underworld, slain Lycans are seen using G36Ks, which was their preferred weapon in that film.
Heckler & Koch G36K - 5.56x45mm
Selene holds Tanis' H&K G36K, which is loaded with UV rounds (as evidenced by the blue glow in the magazine).

Norinco Type 84S
The Hungarian police officers who chase Michael (Scott Speedman) through the woods are armed with Chinese Norinco Type 84 underfolder assault rifles, recognizable by their less curved magazines for 5.56x45mm ammunition.

Norinco Type 56-1
Due to continuity errors, the Hungarian police officers' AKs occasionally switch from the 5.56x45mm Norinco Type 84 underfolder to the similar Norinco Type 56-1, which is the same gun except chambered in 7.62x39mm. This is most obvious when Selene flips one officer over. Also, many Type 56 rifles are visible in the armory cabinet when Marcus (Tony Curran) visits the vampire safehouse.

Shotguns
Remington 870 Express Magnum
In the climax of the film, Selene wields a pistol-grip Remington 870 Express Magnum with synthetic furniture and a tactical flashlight fixed to the end of the magazine tube, which she unloads into Marcus at point-blank range... to no avail. This weapon also appears in the hands of one of the Cleaners seen on video footage earlier in the film.

Machine Guns
Daewoo K3
Towards the end of the film, when Selene and the Cleaners have set off to find Marcus, one of the Cleaners uses a modified Daewoo K3 light machine gun. This is a K3 that has been modified with an M249 Paratrooper-style stock, a shortened barrel, a railed handguard, and a forward grip.
