Super 8 (2011)

Super 8 is a 2011 science fiction film written and directed by J.J. Abrams (Mission: Impossible III) and produced by Steven Spielberg that focuses on a group of kids who inadvertently film a massive train crash and discover that the contents on the train may not be from this world.

The following weapons were used in the film Super 8:



M16A1 Rifle

The M16A1 rifle is seen in the hands of the US Air Force personnel that enter the town after the train crash. Jackson Lamb (Kyle Chandler) takes one and uses it while escaping from the custody of the MPs.

Smith & Wesson Model 10

The Smith & Wesson Model 10 is held by Doctor Woodward (Glynn Turman) after the train crash. It also appears to be the standard sidearm of the city's police department, as several officers have them holstered. Sherrif Pruitt carries one, and it is found on the ground at the site of his disappearance.

Bolt-Action Rifle

A bolt-action rifle, described as a "Sako .30-06, bolt-action" by one of the kids, is used by USAF personnel to try and tag the creature with fictional "tracker rounds".
