WORK IN PROGRESS, SCREENCAPS SOON TO FOLLOW...

The following firearms can be seen in the film xXx: State of the Union:

Handguns

Smith & Wesson Performance Center Model 629 (Customized)

The modified Smith & Wesson Model 629 used by Xander Cage (Vin Diesel) in the first XXX makes a return appearance in the sequel. Agent Toby Lee Shavers (Michael Roof) can 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. Darius Stone (Ice Cube) also uses the revolver when he breaks into the xXx headquarters.

Beretta 92F Vertec 1A

Darius Stone (Ice Cube) carries a Beretta 92F Vertec 1A as his sidearm in the film. The Vertec 1A has an Elite II slide, but a perfectly vertical grip and front of trigger guard of vertec Series. Augustus Gibbons also briefly uses Darius' Beretta inside the Capitol building.

Heckler & Koch USP Compact Tactical

Most of General Deckart's (Willem Dafoe) troops use the Heckler & Koch USP Compact Tactical as their sidearms, including Deckart's right-hand man, Lt. Colonel Alabama Cobb (John G. Connolly). Charlie Mayweather (Sunny Mabrey) also uses one as her sidearm during the attack on the Capitol. General Deckart (Willem Dafoe) also uses one on the Presidential Bullet Train.

Heckler & Koch USP Compact Tactical - .45 ACP

Lt. Cobb holds his USP on 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.

Lt. Cobb racks the slide of his USP Compact aboard the USSS Independence.

Colt XSE M1911

Agent Augustus Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson) keeps two customized Colt XSE M1911 pistols as his sidearms, and most notably wields them during the beginning shootout. Unfortunately, he loses the guns during the firefight, and they are later used to frame Darius Stone (Ice Cube) of a murder.

This is the screen used Colt XSE M1911 Pistol, wielded, carried (and lost) by August Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson) in the film. This pistol has a customized slide with the initials "A G" etched (for "Augustus Gibbons") and also has the logo for SEAL TEAM 4 in the center - .45 ACP

Gibbons fires his M1911's in defense of the xXx headquarters.

August Gibbons' Customized Colt XSE Pistol is found lying on the floor of the mansion, which Stone realizes was used to kill Pettibone.

M1911

After Augustus Gibbons loses his customized Colt XSE 1911s, he uses a WWI dated M1911 pistol that he loses (yet, again) after Deckart frames his death.

Original Colt M1911 (dated 1913) - .45 ACP

Para-Ordnance P-10

When Gibbons sneaks into his basement, he opens a stash that contains some files and a stainless Para-Ordnance P-10. He never uses it, though, as he hears noises from upstairs and hides the files and the P-10.

Para-Ordnance P-10 - .45 ACP

SIG-Sauer P226R

Kyle Steele (Scott Speedman) and the rest of the NSA agents carry SIG-Sauer P226Rs as their sidearms in the film. Most of them can be seen fitted with rail-mounted weaponlights. The cops trying to stop Toby at the bridge after Stone's attack on the NSA base also use regular SIG-Sauer P226s. A SWAT team member also uses one during the raid on Pettibone's mansion Shavers (Michael Roof) also uses one during the attack on the Capitol.

SIG-Sauer P226R - 9x19mm, updated P226 with accessory rails, now the standard production version for the P226 (IMFDB still refers to this model as the "P226R" to distinguish between newer and older models).

A couple of cops at Pettibone's mansion use SIG-Sauer P228 pistols.

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 G36Cs. Some are seen with underbarrel M203 grenade launchers. One of these weapons is acquired by Darius during the scene at the Capitol.

M16A2

The M16A2 assault rifle can be seen in the hands of the U.S. Army soldiers and Marines throughout the movie. One of Zeke's (X to the Z, Xzibit thugs also also has one slung over his shoulder during the attack on the capitol.

M4A1

The M4A1 carbine is used by many of the NSA security forces throughout the movie, most fitted with Surefire M500AB forearm weaponlights and is later carried by Agent Kyle Steele (Scott Speedman) during the scene at the Capitol, fitted with the aforementioned weaponlight and a Leupold CQ/T scope. The S.W.A.T. team sent to take down Stone at the mansion are also armed with M4A1s.

Other

M203 Grenade Launcher

The M203 grenade launcher is seen mounted on the XM8 rifles. Darius Stone Ice Cube is later seen using this weapon on the Bullet Train. The M203 is modified with a handle so it it can be used as a stand alone weapon.

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 / Brawl in the film Transformers.

The tank was later modified to become a Decepticon in Transformers.
