Proteus

The following weapons were used in the film Proteus:

AKS-47

Alex (Craig Fairbrass) uses an modified AKS-47 for much of the film. His AKS-47 appears to be a hybrid between an AKS-47 and an L85 rifle, with an L85 forend and SUSAT sight. One of the Brinkstone guards is also armed with the same rifle, which Alex later takes away from him.

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

Heckler & Koch MP5A3s are often seen in the film. An MP5A3 with the slim forearm is seen in the hands of security guard Buckley (Ricco Ross), and MP5A3s with Surefire forearms, weapon lights and flash hiders are seen in the hands of Rachel (Jennifer Calvert), Paul (Robert Firth), Linda (Toni Barry), Mark (William Marsh), and Alex. Brinkstone's guards are also seen armed with them.

-==AKMS==
-The main gun used in the film is what appears to be a modified [[AKMS]] with a folding stock and a very large scope. It's found by DEA agent Alex ([[Craig Fairbrass]]) in the lab, and he uses it, sometimes with a flashlight, throughout the remainder of the film.

-[[Image:proteus_guns7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Alex hunting for "Charlie," the genetically engineered beast created by the scientists.]]
-==Heckler & Koch MP5==
-A [[Heckler & Koch MP5]] the second of the guns found in the lab. It is primarily used by DEA agent Rachel (Jennifer Calvert) although Paul (Robert Firth) carries it in some scenes briefly prior to his death, and Linda (Toni Barry) also finds one in the hallway. Rachel is shown explaining trigger discipline and how to reload and other gun safety tips to her fellow survivors. Security guard Buckley ([[Ricco Ross]]) is seen with one prior to the castaways' arrival, and he still has it when he turns up again later. A few of Leonard Brinkstone's (Doug Bradley) henchmen also carry them at the climax.

-==M1911==
-Another gun used by Rachel is what appears to be an [[M1911]] handgun she finds (or brought with her, considering she and Alex are undercover DEA agents).
