Four Lions is a 2010 British satirical black comedy directed by Chris Morris about five would-be Jihadist suicide bombers in London and their bumbling attempts to carry out a terrorist attack.
The following weapons can be seen in the movie Four Lions:
Rifles
Fake AK-47
One of the Jihadists, Waj (Kayvan Novak), uses a fake AK-47 in one of the videos. As a miniature dummy, it is very unconvincing.
Waj (
Kayvan Novak) untimidatingly shows off his fake AK-47 as he warns the "unbelieving kaffir bastards".
Waj shrugs off the size with a comment on his "big hands".
He slides towards the camera...
In an attempt to, in his own words, "bigger" the toy.
AKMS
In a Jihadi training camp in Pakistan, Waj (Kayvan Novak) acquires an authentic AKMS rifle and fires it in one of the videos, naturally irritating camp leader Khalid (Willliam El-Gardi) due to the presence of American drones in the area.
AKMS, stamped steel receiver w/ slant muzzle brake and under-folding stock - 7.62x39mm
Waj holds the AKMS as he sets up his cell phone.
"Big enough for you now, Barry?".
Waj lets loose with the AKMS.
...And unloads the magazine.
Heckler & Koch G3SG/1
A British Police Sniper (Kevin Eldon) uses a Heckler & Koch G3SG/1 to shoot a "Wookie" mistaken for one of the terrorists. This leads to a hilarious exchange about whether a wookie or a honey monster is a bear.

Looking through the scope.
Centering on the target...
...And firing. Note the spent cartridge ejecting past his headgear.
"That must be the right target, I just shot it!".
Parker Hale M85
A second Sniper (Darren Boyd) operates a Parker Hale M85 rifle.

A second Police sniper sets up his Parker Hale M85.
Both snipers attempt to identify the target.
"Command, is a wookie a bear, over?".

Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
British Counter-Terrorist forces are armed with Heckler & Koch MP5A3 submachine guns mounted with Surefire tactical lights and ACOG sights.

Burst in, guns blazing. In true fashion for the police in this movie, they hit the hostage, not the hostage taker.
"You alright, mate?". Not in a moment, he's not.
Sidearms
Glock 17
One of the British officers briefly carries a Glock 17.
3rd Generation Glock 17 - 9x19mm. Note the finger grooves, thumb reliefs, and accessory rail on the frame, which differentiate it from the older model
A police officer can be seen in the center carrying a Glock 17.
Launchers
M136 AT4
A stash of M136 AT4 missile launchers are seen at the training camp. Omar (Riz Ahmed) tries to take down an enemy drone with one. However, he holds it the wrong way around and it backfires (literally), and ends up killing Osama Bin Laden.

Omar (
Riz Ahmed) grabs an AT4 to take out a drone before Khalid points out it's too high.
...And fiddles around with it.
Note it's the
wrong way around. The writing saying "front end" should be a good hint.
Too confident for his own good, Omar nods at Waj.
Note the missile going in the wrong direction.
