I Am A Hero (Japanese title: アイアムアヒーロー, Ai amu a hīrō) is a 2015 post-apocalyptic horror-comedy film starring Yo Oizumi as Hideo Suzuki, a struggling, directionless manga artist's assistant whose life is suddenly changed by the onset of a zombie apocalypse. Armed with only his sporting shotgun (one of the very few in Japan), he sets out to survive and redeem himself as the world deteriorates around him. The film is an adaptation of the 2009-2017 manga series of the same name by Kengo Hanazawa.

The following weapons were used in the film I Am A Hero:

Submachine Guns

Ingram MAC-11

An airsoft MAC-11 is used by the survivors at the Fuji Royal Outlet Park camp. It is later used by Hideo.

RPB Industries M11A1 - .380 ACP

A survivor takes the airsoft MAC-11 for an upcoming looting run.

After barely managing to restrain a ZQN (the in-universe name for the zombies), Hideo notices a radio and the MAC-11 on the ground.

Rifles

Colt M4A1

An airsoft Colt M4A1 is also used by the survivors at the Fuji Royal Outlet Park camp.

The survivor holds the airsoft M4 as he regroups with the rest of the survivors.

Finding himself surrounded after the looting run goes bad, a survivor desperately fires the airsoft M4 at a group of approaching ZQN.

As the ZQN continue to approach, he realizes that airsoft pellets aren't very effective against zombies.

Oh, dear.

Shotguns

Ruger Red Label

A 12 gauge Ruger Red Label is prominently used by Hideo Suzuki (Yo Oizumi) throughout the movie. This is notable difference from the original work, as Hideo is depicted using a Beretta 682 (and later, a Miroku MSS-20) in the manga. Due to privately owned firearms being extremely rare in Japan, the shotgun is seen as an item of extreme interest and importance by the other characters throughout the movie. Hideo originally owned the shotgun for recreational sporting, but the apocalypse has given him the opportunity to use it to shoot zombies and help others in need instead.

The shotguns's chambers are visible as Hideo closes them. Note the headstamps on the shells that identify them as Hudson-made replicas.

Hideo looks at the ZQN around the mall with the broken-open shotgun slung on his shoulder. A good view of the shotgun's "teardrop"-design receiver is visible.

After Sango (Yoshinori Okada) takes the shotgun after the standoff, he taunts survivor camp leader Iura (Hisashi Yoshizawa) with the authority of having a real firearm all to himself.
