The Expendables 3 is the third installment in The Expendables film trilogy, which began with 2010's The Expendables and continued with 2012's The Expendables 2. The 2014 sequel was directed by Patrick Hughes and Sylvester Stallone returns as Barney Ross, the leader of his team of mercenaries, who this time is forced to confront the co-founder of The Expendables, a rogue arms dealer named Conrad Stonebanks (Mel Gibson). In the third film, several more action film icons in addition to Mel Gibson make their Expendables debut, including Harrison Ford, Wesley Snipes, Robert Davi and Antonio Banderas. The majority of the Expendables from the first two films returns for the third installment along with new additions Ronda Rousey, Victor Ortiz, Glenn Powell, and Kellan Lutz.

The following weapons were used in the film The Expendables 3:

WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!

Handguns

Colt Single Action Army

Custom Kimber Gold Combat II

Barney Ross uses a pair of Kimber Gold Combat II pistols as his sidearms in the film, the same Kimber Gold Combat II pistols that he wielded in the first film. In this film, the Kimbers' grips feature small "Expendable" emblems on both guns. The same symbol is also seen in Barney's toothpick knife. Smilee (Kellan Lutz) picks up one of the Kimbers and tosses it back to Barney.

It has an EOTech sight and a Surefire 628 weaponlight foregrip. In some scenes, Yang's weapon lacks a protruding barrel, perhaps because the SMG was an airsoft replica with the orange plug removed.

Yin Yang is seen carrying two MP5A3s while dismounting the chopper. These are evidently rubber stunt castings.

Throughout the film, Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) carries a rifle consisting of a Noveske 16" Infantry upper receiver and a Colt lower receiver (as the weapon is seen firing on full auto). His rifle is mounted with a C-more sight, a Surefire M900, and Magpul BUS, as well as occasionally mounting a suppressor.

M4A1 Carbine

Toll Road (Randy Couture) and Gunnar (Dolph Lundgren) carry the M4A1. During the ambush in Bucharest, Smilee (Kellan Lutz) and Luna (Ronda Rousey) use a suppressed M4A1s fitted with Trijicon ACOGs and what appear to be a thermal or night vision optics. The same weapon is picked up briefly by Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) on the highway. An M4A1 is also used by Mars (Victor Ortiz) as part of the CornerShot weapon system. Lee Christmas (Jason Statham) temporarily commandeers a modified M4A1 during the finale during the "Christmas Gauntlet" scene available in the Blu-Ray Unrated Cut.

Lee Christmas (Jason Statham) carries a Heckler & Koch HK416D with a 10.4" barrel, mounted with a C-more and a Surefire M900. The HK416D is also seen in the hands of Galgo (Antonio Banderas), with a 14.5" barrel. Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) appears to use an outfitted HK416D during the ambush in Bucharest, although it is not seen very clearly.

AK Variants

Multiple AK-47 variants are seen being utilized by Stonebanks' henchmen, most of which are of the early milled receiver "Type III" variant. The bakelite furniture that these rifles are equipped with suggests that they are Bulgarian made copies, rather than the original Russian models. They are occasionally commandeered by the Expendables, namely by Caesar (Terry Crews) and Toll Road (Randy Couture) in Mogadishu, and by Galgo (Antonio Banderas) and Luna (Ronda Rousey) during the finale.

SIG SG 552

Toll Road (Randy Couture) is briefly seen with a SIG SG 552 during the finale. In a continuity error, it is shown both with and without an EOTech sight.

SIG SG 552-2 fitted with permanent scope rail and railed handguard - 5.56x45mm

Toll Road with the SIG, shown here with an EOTech sight, which is on backwards.

Moments later, on the roof, the SIG lacks the sight, as well as iron sights of any kind.

SIG SG 551

Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren) is seen firing what appears to be a SIG SG 551 carbine at a gun range. Note the type of charging handle which is only used on the SG550/551/553 but not the 552. It is seen being fired in three-round bursts.

SIG SG 551 - 5.56x45mm

Jensen fires the rifle. Note the type of charging handle which is only used on the SG550/551/553 but not the 552.

Shotguns

Saiga-12 (mocked up as AA-12)

"Trench" Mauser (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is seen using an AA-12 shotgun fitted with a weaponlight and a drum magazine as he did for the climax of the second movie. According to ISS that own the only 2 AA-12s in Hollywood, the AA-12 in this movie is actually a mockup built from a Saiga-12.

Machine Guns

Handheld M134 Minigun

A mockup of a hand held M134 Minigun is seen used by Hale Caesar (Terry Crews). In several promotional images, he is seen wielding an actual minigun. It is notable that in this film the characters talk explicitly about the ammunition reserves only lasting ten seconds, which is clear once Caesar fires the weapon. This is much closer to being realistic than other films that depict a Minigun being fired with ammunition stored in a backpack.

General Dynamics M197 Vulcan - 20mm.

The Mangusta fires its M197 Vulcan.

Launchers

M203A1 Grenade Launcher

Lee Christmas has an M203A1 Grenade Launcher attached to his M4. Judging by how it's only attachment point is at the rear of the handguard, it may be an airsoft version.

Airsoft M203 made by G&P - (fake) 40x46mm. Note the RIS mount and removed trigger guard.

The MGL is fired from a helicopter. Note the Armson OEG reflex sight and weaponlight.

Heckler & Koch XM25 (mockup)

The Heckler & Koch XM25 is being demonstrated by Mars (Victor Ortiz), who incorrectly refers it as an assault rifle. Upon closer inspection, the weapon is a mockup consisting of a plastic shell over an L85A1.

Heckler & Koch XM25 pre-production model - 25mm

L85A1 with SUSAT scope - 5.56x45mm NATO

Publicity image showing Mars (Victor Ortiz) holding the faux XM25. Note that rather strangely, the L85A1 inside it is jammed in this shot: at full size a 5.56mm blank with a struck primer is visible stuck neck-first in the action. This is fairly unlikely to occur: one possible explanation is that the casing was deliberately inserted into the action due to the plastic shell rendering the normal safety inaccessible.

Mars takes the XM25 out of its case.
