The Rock

The following guns were used in the movie The Rock

The Rock (1996)

M14

A marine at the funeral during the opening credits can be seen briefly holding an M14 rifle.

Beretta 92FS

The Recon Marines carry Beretta M9FS Pistols as their sidearms, all custom fitted with wooden grips. Beretta M9s are the standard side arm for all the Navy SEALs including Stanley Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage), all with tactical flashlight attachments.

Beretta 92FS 9mm

One of Hummel's men pulls a 92FS on some guards when they first take over the rock.

Goodspeed with a navy seals M9 pistol with a tactical flashlight.

Goodspeed reloads his M9.

Cpt. Darrow holds his 92FS at Larry Henderson's head. You can see it has wooden grips but is not a Taurus PT92, as it has a slide mounted decocking saftey, not a slide stop frame mounted saftey.

It's actually a 92SB; you can tell because the trigger guard is rounded rather than squared.

Cpt. Darrow aims his 92FS at Hummel.

Beretta 92FS Inox

During the hotel scene Goodspeed is given a Beretta 92FS Inox from another FBI field agent.

This is an Inox version of the 92 Centurion; you can tell because the barrel doesn't extend as far past the slide, plus it has a shorter barrel and grip.

Beretta 92 FS Inox 9mm

Goodspeed aims his 92FS INOX at Mason when he throws Director Womack off the building, held only by a rope.

Goodspeed chases after Mason armed with the INOX.

M16A2

Marines at the funeral use real M16A2 rifles for the 21 gun salute. It is a goof that they rack the bolts to fire them as funeral guns are usually real guns fitted with a blank firing adapter on the muzzle to allow enough gas pressure to cycle the bolt(as real guns have heavier bolt springs than blank guns. Blank guns need lighter springs to allow the gas pressure to cycle low pressure blank rounds.)

M16A2 5.56mm

The Marines ready their M16A2s for the 21 gun salute.

A Marine cycles a round into his M16A2. Note the bullet deflector and rounded forward assist.

M16A1 w/ M16A2 handguards.

The Marines can be seen armed with M16A1 rifles fitted with M16A2 forend handguards. They are easily noticed as A1 models by the lack of a shell deflector, older forward assists, and fully-automatic firing modes.

A Marine next to Hummel aims his M16A1 at the Navy SEALS.

Sgt. Crisp armed with an M16A1. Note the lack of a bullet deflect and the older style forward assist.

M16A1 with M203 Grenade Launcher

Captain Darrow's weapon of choice is an M16A1 fitted with a 40mm M203 launcher.

Darrow's M16 seems to be missing a forward assist in this picture (I'm looking at the DVD and it's the same when he enters the lighthouse to confront Goodspeed), so it's actually an earlier M16 model. Or at least, the upper receiver only is taken from an early M16.

Colt Commando

Is seen being used by multiple Marines in multiple scenes. Mason and Goodspeed take two for themselves later in the film. The Commandos seen in the film have various receiver styles; some have A1 receivers, others have A2 receivers, and others have the forward assist and brass deflector but not the A2-style rear sight. A notable goof is that the receivers of the guns held by individual characters change throughout the film (for instance, the Commando given to Goodspeed by Mason clearly has an A2 receiver when he first gets it, but later, it has an A1 receiver).

Colt Commando 5.56mm

When going over Hummel's military file, he is seen armed with a Colt Commando.

A Marine aims his Colt Commando at Goodspeed. The large muzzle break is pretty obvious in this shot.

Mason gives Goodspeed the Colt Commando after killing the Marine aiming it at him.

Cpl. Frye returns fire on Mason.

MAC-10

Hummel can be seen holding a MAC-10 in a Vietnam service picture. This image is actually taken from one of Ed Harris' earlier film roles, the Charles Bronson vehicle Borderline.

Colt M1911A1

The main villain of the film, General Frank Hummel (Ed Harris) carries a stainless Springfield Armory M1911A1 as his sidearm of choice throughout the film. It is seen being pulled out by Hummel, who then shoots Sergeant Crisp during the confrontation.

Hummel aims his Springfield Armory M1911A1 at Maj. Baxter when he refuses to hang up the phone.

Hummel holds his M1911A1 to Sgt. Crisp.

Hummel shoots Crisp. Two goofs are present. The gun is clearly a harmless flashpaper gun as nothing cycles, and the squib is a bit too much to the right.

H&K MP5A3

Used by the Navy SEALs during the failed rescue mission of the prison. They have tactical flashlights mounted in the foregrips. John Mason (Sean Connery) uses an MP5A3 he commandeers from a dead SEAL, and uses it in the first half of the movie.

If you look closely when the SEALs are loading the guns in the helicopter, you can see that one of them has a 4-position trigger group, which would make it an MP5A5. I can't tell if they all have 4-position trigger groups, though, and I'm sure most don't.

H&K SP89

Used by one of the SEALs during the failed attempt to save the hostages. It seems to be fitted with the collapsible stock of an MP5A3.

A SEAL with the stock version of the SP89 tries to climb up to shoot at the Marines, before being gunned down.

Deftech Launcher

What appears to be a Deftech launcher is used by one of the Marines in the showerroom. It would be useless to use as the rounds would not detonate in such close proximity and if they did, it would be dangerous to him and his fellow men.

M26 Handgrenade

Cpl. Frye can be seen with two M26 Handgrenade which he throws at Mason in an attempt to kill him.

Frye pops off the primer handles of his M26 grenades.

M60E3

A Marine can be seen firing an M60E3 machine gun at Goodspeed when he disables the last rocket. Mason picks it up and knocks the shooter off the roof with it.

Barett M99

When the Marine's M60E3 is empty, he picks up a Barett M99 single shot .50 caliber bolt action to shoot Goodspeed. He his knocked off the roof by Mason before he can use it though.

I don't know if that's a Barrett at all; the receiver looks nothing like it. It looks more like a .50 BMG Grizzly to me, just like the one that was used in Tremors 2.

A Marine switches the safety off his Barett M99.

The Marine prepares to fire the Barett M99 before being killed by Mason. It is a good thing he didn't fire the gun, without the muzzle break, it would have hurt like hell.

"The Protector"

When Goodspeed is messing around in his officer, he shoots a flip down target with a suction dart spring gun labeled "The Protector". It appears to be based off a Mossberg 500 "Crusier" with barrel ribbing.

Goodspeed with "The Protector. Is this the most pointless gun ever posted on the site? Probably.
