The following weapons appear in the film Avatar:

Avatar (2009)

Modified M60 machine gun

A modified M60 machine gun is used as a door gun on the SA-2 Samson tiltrotors, and as a assault rifle by the ten-foot-tall Avatars. The weapon uses a detachable drum magazine (similar to that of the MG42) instead of a ammo belt. Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) uses this during the Thanator attack and the final battle until he pulls out his grenades. Norm Spellman (Joel David Moore) uses one during the final battle as well.

Modified unknown Bullpup rifle

Seen used by the RDA SecFor on Pandora in the trailers. According to the "Human Hardware" featurette the weapons are made by the fictional company "MATANZA ARMS CORP.". The props, realized by Weta Workshop, have been build in at least 2 variants: the Standard Issue Rifle and the Personal Defence Weapon. From a closer inspection of the weapons, it appears that the rifles are built around either the Ruger AC-556 series automatic rifles or the M14 rifle (note the ejection ports on the rifles in the picture below). Col. Quaritch (Stephen Lang) fires one at the escaping Samson helicopter before switching to his revolver. Trudy Chacon (Michelle Rodriguez) is also seen armed with one in the film.

Modified handgun/SMG

Seen used by a SecFor member before he is pulled off the gunship. A major handguard has been added to the actual weapon. Trudy Chacon (Michelle Rodriguez) uses a Modified Handgun to break Jake (Sam Worthington), Norm (Joel David Moore) and Grace (Sigourney Weaver) out of jail and then passes it to Jake when she goes to start up the Samson.
