Lone Survivor is a 2013 Afghanistan War action drama directed by Peter Berg (Battleship). Based on the best-selling book Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10 by former U.S. Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell, the film stars Mark Wahlberg as Luttrell, who was a member of an ill-fated SEAL reconnaissance team that was attacked in the mountains of northeastern Afghanistan during Operation Red Wings on June 28, 2005. The film also stars Taylor Kitsch, Emile Hirsch, Ben Foster and Eric Bana, and went into limited release on December 25, 2013, with a wider release on January 14, 2014. Lone Survivor marked the first of four collaborations between Berg and Wahlberg, three of which were based on actual events: 2016's Patriots Day and Deepwater Horizon as well as 2018's Mile 22.
The following weapons were used in the film Lone Survivor:
Handguns
Beretta 92FS
A Beretta 92FS pistol is used by Matthew "Axe" Axelson (Ben Foster) after he runs out of ammunition for his rifle. Though in reality, the pistol currently preferred by the Navy SEALs is the SIG-Sauer P226 Navy, as an operator, an individual SEAL has wide latitude as to what handgun he wishes to use, and the 92FS/M9 is familiar among members of the military. Another SEAL also draws his Beretta on a CH-47 Chinook pilot.
Lieutenant Michael P. "Murph" Murphy (
Taylor Kitsch) hands off the Beretta 92FS during the mission preparation.

USAF Pararescue Jumpers and U.S. Army Rangers near the ending of the movie carry M4A1s with Aimpoint CompM2 CCO optics, Trijicon ACOG TA31 scopes and/or EOTech 552 sights with AN/PEQ-2 IR designator and without camouflage paint. At least one U.S. Ranger is armed with a M4A1 with a standard M203 grenade launcher.

This Pararescue Jumper is wearing a Ops-Core Future Assault Shell Technology (FAST) helmet which is anachronistic in 2005 and wasn't available to U.S. special forces or SOCOM until 2009-10. It is most likely standing in for the MICH-2001 helmet worn by USAF Pararescue and special forces operatives at the time.
