xXx: State of the Union (2005)

xXx: State of the Union is the 2005 sequel to 2003's xXx. The film was directed by Lee Tamahori (Die Another Day) and stars Ice Cube as the "new" xXx agent. The film was released internationally under the title xXx 2: The Next Level.

The following firearms were used in the film xXx: State of the Union:

Handguns

Smith & Wesson Performance Center Model 629 (Customized)

When Darius Stone (Ice Cube) breaks into the xXx headquarters, he is armed with the exact same modified Smith & Wesson Model 629 that was used by Xander Cage (Vin Diesel) in the first XXX. Agent Toby Lee Shavers (Michael Roof) can also be seen with it during the raid on the NSA compound before he and Gibbons make their escape using the GTO from the previous film.

Beretta 92F Vertec 1A

This is Darius Stone's sidearm for most of the movie. The Vertec 1A has an Elite II slide, but a perfectly vertical grip and front of trigger guard of vertec Series

Heckler & Koch USP Compact Tactical

General Deckart's right-hand man, Lt. Colonel Alabama Cobb (John G. Connolly), carries a Heckler & Koch USP Compact Tactical throughout the movie. Later in the film, Cobb gives this weapon to Deckart on the Presidential Bullet Train, and he uses it in the movie's finale.

"Bama" Cobb pointing a Heckler & Koch USP Compact Tactical at Gibbons. An interesting goof to point out is that Cobb is referred to as a Sergeant and Lieutenant Colonel. However because of his background as a US Navy Seal. Cobb would not be able to have either ranks. The USN equivalent to Sergeant is Petty Officer Second Class and USN equivalent to Lieutenant Colonel is Commander.

Colt XSE M1911

Agent Augustus Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson) has a customized Stainless Colt XSE M1911 pistol, which he loses and Darius finds on the floor of the mansion.

Machine Guns

Mk 46 Mod 0

The SOCOM version of the M249 is the weapon used by Darius Stone (Ice Cube) during the attack on the US Capitol building. The machine gun is later traded to Augustus Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson) when Darius picks up an XM8 with an M203. It is fitted with a C-More red dot sight and tactical light under the barrel.

Rifles

(Fake) Heckler & Koch XM8

The men under the command of General George Deckart (Willem Dafoe) are seen using what appear to be Heckler & Koch XM8 rifles throughout the movie. These mock-ups are actually heavily modified G36Ks. Some are seen with underbarrel M203 grenade launchers. One of these weapons is acquired by Darius during the scene at the Capitol.

Arms Truck

When Darius and his co-conspirators stop a semi-truck, they uncover a massive weapons cache.

Stealth Tank

The "Stealth Tank" is a prop vehicle resembling a combination of the American M1 Abrams and German Leopard 2 main battle tanks; the armament configuration, with a roof-mounted secondary turret, seems to be based loosely on a T-72 variant fitted with twin AA guns on the sides of the turret. The vehicle was custom built for the production and all weapons on it are fabrications with the exception of the twin Browning M2s on top. The vehicle is apparently a cut-down Freightliner truck chassis fitted with rubber treads from a piece of construction equipment. This tank was modified to become the Decepticon Devastator in the film Transformers.
