An impressive lineup of tons of SWAT members ready to fight the dragon warriors ... but to no avail.

Smith & Wesson Model 36 Nickel plated

Ethan Kendrick (Jason Behr) is given a nickel plated Model 36 snub nosed revolver for self protection - .38 special

Sarah Daniels (Amanda Brooks) threatens to shoot herself and thus deprive the evil dragon masters of their prize. She carries the Nickel plated Model 36 that belonged to Ethan Kendrick.

Browning M2HB .50 Caliber machine gun

Browning M2HB .50 BMG

Rather inaccurately, infantry mans the Browning M2HB .50 caliber machine guns on the 'M1A1' Abrahms tanks - .50 BMG

Browning .50 Cal gunners unload with their fifty cal machine guns - .50 BMG. Technically a Combat Vehicle Crewman (CVC) should be manning the guns, not infantrymen.

M4A1 Carbine

M4A1 5.56mm with M68 Aimpoint scope and RIS foregrip

Early on a SWAT team runs to the Dragon cave, mostly armed with flat top M4 Carbines with Aimpoint sights - 5.56mm

Mechanized Infantry gets into position in front of an APC, with their M4 flat top carbines with M68 Aimpoint sights.

In the carnage of the first failed assault on the Dragon Lair, the surviving SWAT team members fire their M4 Carbines at the approaching Dragon soldiers.

What is interesting is that the M4s have the correct A2 flash hiders (the starburst doesn't go all the way around), which is rare in motion pictures. Usually all blank adapted firearms with birdcage flash hiders have the M16A1 version, to create that beautiful full starburst pattern with their full hot blanks.

M16A1 Rifle

M16A1 5.56mm with M16A2 handguards

A Soldier behind the one with an M4 appears to have a full length M16A1 with A2 handguards, or a replica of one

It has a forward assist like an MGC replica. - Gunmaster45

yeah but look at the magazine --AdAstra2009

The magazine doesn't seem to fit properly in the magwell, which makes it seem even more likely that it's a modified MGC replica. -MT2008

I noticed that but I assumed maybe it's a 40 round magazine also it has a A2 flashhider and heatshields --AdAstra2009 15:47, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Heatshields? What Heatshields?Oliveira 15:51, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

M230 Chain Gun

Impressive shots of Apache gunships unleashing their nose mounted M230 Chain Gun - 30mm.

Apache helicopter gunships fire their 30mm auto cannons, Hughes M230 Chain Guns, while flying over the Los Angeles landscape.

Unknown Revolver

What appears to be a Korean stuntman dressed as a police officer, fires his unknown revolver before being crushed by a flying car.

Unknown Helicopter Pilot revolver

An Apache gunship pilot pulls his survival sidearm, what appears to be a large caliber snub nosed revolver (make and model unknown)

Beretta 92FS

Beretta 92FS 9mm

A combination of patrol cars and motorcycle cops fire their Beretta 92FS pistols at the attacking dragon with little effect - 9mm

Two police officers fire their Beretta 92FS pistols at the dragon - 9mm

Trivia

Armored Columns in Los Angeles

• Despite what the critics say, there is an impressive (if unsuccessful) defense of Los Angeles by a slew of U.S. Armored Vehicles. The tanks are Centurion tanks visually modified to pass as M1A1 Abrams as seen in many other movies such as Jarhead, Courage Under Fire, and Cloverfield, but the appearance of so many modern military vehicles (with the correct paint job for the time period) is impressive.

Armored Vehicles drive into the financial district of Los Angeles.

Impressive lineup of U.S. Armored vehicles driving downtown.

Military Helicopters

• The CGI helicopters are actually quite good in the film. The Battle over the skies of Los Angeles, though illogical at times, is a nice and high end CGI sequence.
