Latest revision as of 16:19, 23 February 2024
Far Cry is the 2008 film adaptation of the popular PC/console first-person shooter Far Cry by director Uwe Boll. It stars Til Schweiger as the protagonist, Jack Carver, who (despite having an American name, as per the source material) is supposed to be German (!?!).
The following weapons were used in the film Far Cry (2008):
Pistols
Glock 17
Many of the mercenaries working for Dr. Krieger (Udo Kier) carry Gen 2 Glock 17s as their sidearms. Jack Carver (Til Schweiger) uses Glock 17s several times after taking them from slain or incapacitated mercenaries, and Katja Chernov (Natalia Avelon) can also be seen using one in at least one scene.
SIG-Sauer P226
Many mercenaries also carry SIG-Sauer P226s as sidearms. Near the end of the film, Jack Carver (Til Schweiger) is given a P226 by Jason Parker (Craig Fairbrass), the leader of the mercenaries, and uses it to hold Dr. Krieger (Udo Kier) hostage.
Airsoft P226R
In a few shots, Carver is holding what appears to be a rail-frame SIG P226R. Since his weapon transforms into an older-model non-rail P226 for firing scenes, it is likely that this is an airsoft replica of a P226R.
Walther P99
Katja Chernov (Natalia Avelon) uses a two-tone Walther P99 with a stainless slide and raised sights as her sidearm for almost the entire movie.
Shotguns
Franchi SPAS-12
Near the climax, Jack Carver grabs a Franchi SPAS-12 with its stock removed while being pursued by a super-soldier, and uses it for the subsequent gunfight.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A3/A5
Many of the mercenaries use Heckler & Koch MP5A3s with Surefire grips, Navy trigger groups, and red-dot sights. There is also at least one MP5A3 in the movie which is fitted with an M203 grenade launcher, a configuration very similar to the weapon from End of Days (and Half-Life). Also, at least one of the MP5s has a four-position trigger group, which means it is an MP5A5 rather than an A3.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
Some of the mercenaries use Heckler & Koch MP5Ks, several outfitted with red-dot sights.
Heckler & Koch UMP
Several mercenaries are armed with Heckler & Koch UMPs, most likely the .45 ACP version.
Heckler & Koch MP7A1
At least one of Dr. Krieger's men is armed with a Heckler & Koch MP7A1.
Rifles
Heckler & Koch G36K
Many of the mercenaries use Heckler & Koch G36K carbine assault rifles, most fitted with vertical grips. Some have the dual-sight carry handle, while others do not.
M4A1 Carbine
Many mercenaries use M4A1 carbines fitted with RIS foregrips and Aimpoint M68 scopes. A few seem to be Olympic Arms K3B copies (including the one used by Parker).
M16A4
One of the mercenaries uses a kitted-out M16A4 near the climax. Judging by the olive drab furniture, his M16A4 may actually be an Armalite copy (an M-15 A4 or some similar model). Due to a continuity error, this mercenary goes from using an M16A4 to an M4A1 when he shoots at Dr. Krieger.
Machine Guns
M60 Machine Gun
Near the climax, when the super-soldiers are escaping, a guard in the labs opens fire on one of the super-soldiers with an M60 machine gun. The super-soldier kills him and then mans the M60 himself, using it to shoot at Jack Carver.
DShK
Many of the mercenaries' Humvees are fitted with what appear to be turret-mounted DShK heavy machine guns.
Rocket Launchers
RPG-7
An RPG-7 is used by one of the mercenaries to destroy Jack Carver's boat. For some reason, it is portrayed as a mortar-type weapon (he fires it high into the air, and then the rocket hits the boat as it comes back down to Earth).
Explosives
M67 Hand Grenade
When Jack Carver and Valerie Cardinal (Emmanuelle Vaugier) are being chased by Chernov and the mercenaries, Valerie finds a bag of M67 hand grenades in the back of the SUV.
Special
Air-Rifle
Pat, the woman who owns the boat company Jack works(rather, contracts) for, has an air-rifle that she uses to shoot at Jack and wake him up after his hard drinking nights.
