Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is the 2001 film adaptation of the popular videogame. Angelina Jolie stars as the iconic adventure hero who searches around the world for a mysterious relic. Jolie would reprise her role in the sequel Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life.


The following firearms were used in the film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider:


Handguns

Heckler & Koch USP Match

The signature pistols of Lara Croft (Angelina Jolie) in the film are Heckler & Koch USP Match with stainless slides. The handguns are 9mm models, not .45 ACP as previously believed. As in the original videogame, she keeps her handguns prominently holstered on her thighs and almost always draws them both at the same time. She's also carries custom mag holders to facilitate quicker reloading of both handguns.

Walther P99

Manfred Powell (Iain Glen) carries a Walther P99 through much of the film, most notably during the shootout with the statues at the temple of light and during his fight with Lara at the end of the movie. Alex West (Daniel Craig) is seen using one as well (kind of ironic, huh?).

Walther P99 9mm. Note the ramped trigger guard, small slide serrations, closed and proprietary accessory rail, short magazine release and slightly more curved 'tail' of the pre-2004 models.

Smith & Wesson 5946

A Smith & Wesson 5946 is used in the deleted card game scene.

Smith & Wesson Model 10

Manfred Powell is seen pulling a Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolver on Lord Richard Croft (Jon Voight) in a vision Lara has after obtaining the triangle.

Smith & Wesson Model 10 HB (heavy barrel) revolver (Post 1950s Model) - .38 Special. Later incarnations of the Model 10 had a non-tapered heavy barrel, which leads it to be commonly mistaken for a .357 revolver.

Beretta 92FS

The Beretta 92FS by many villians and Lara in a deleted scene in which Lara breaks up Alex West's (Daniel Craig) poker game. Alex also picked one up when he came out of the shower after hearing Lara sneak into his room.

A photo of Lara's team she apparently previously served with are armed with Heckler & Koch MP5A2s. Some can also be seen on the gun rack in the equipment of Lara's home.

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

A guard at the airfield was carrying a Heckler & Koch MP5A3 briefly. A couple also help MP5A3s in the Artic.

Rifles

AKS-74U

Alex West (Daniel Craig) also carries an AKS-74U while in the jungle. He aims it at Lara when she's cornered at the waterfall.

Heckler & Koch G36K

A Heckler & Koch G36K is employed by the Iluminati operatives during the raid to the Croft Manor with suppressors and in the expedition to the artic, some of them were fitted with laser sights.

Shotguns

Nickel plated Remington 870 Shotgun

Hillary, Lara's butler, used a nickel plated Remington 870 shotgun during the raid on the manor. It is NOT the Stainless Steel 870 Marine Magnum, but the classic 870 riot configuration with a nickel finish.

Improvised Gun - SnapOn™ Impact Hammer (pistol)

In the film Lara Croft uses a SnapOn™ Impact Hammer or Air Hammer as a weapon to knock out an attacker. Though the device is very 'pistol-like' in shape, the manufacturers go to great lengths 'not' to call it a 'gun'.

Behind The Scenes Arms Training

Angelina Jolie was reportedly trained by a former SAS member, name not known at the moment. At least it looks like she took the training seriously, but I don't know about the training on dual wielding handguns.
