The following weapons were used in the film This Means War:

Handguns

SIG-Sauer P226

Both Franklin Delano Roosevelt "FDR" Foster (Chris Pine) and Tuck Hansen (Tom Hardy) carry SIG-Sauer P226 pistols. Karl Heinrich (Til Schweiger) uses one for much of the film as well.

Tuck after firing the P226. Since he only dropped one round into the chamber without the magazine, the slide would not be locked back.

The P226 next to FDR. Note the missing magazine.

Karl Heinrich comes in firing. Til Schweiger must be very well trained, as he manages to fire multiple rounds without even blinking, much less flinching.

FDR fires upon oncoming henchmen.

Tuck fires his MP7 while taking cover behind a body.

Sa. Vz.61 Skorpion

FDR fires a Sa. Vz.61 Skorpion during the ending of the theatrical/extended cut. It appears to be a remnant of an earlier cut, since in the theatrical/extended cut, he never obtains the Skorpion.

FDR fires the Skorpion.

Alternate scene

A henchman changes Tuck and FDR with his Skorpion in an alternate scene.

The henchman's Skorpion slides across the pavement towards FDR.

FDR swipes the Skorpion from the pavement. Since he did so from a moving Jeep, this appears to be a rubber or foam copy. Note how deep his thumb is penetrating the frame.

Heckler & Koch MP5A5

In a deleted scene, Tuck fires a Heckler & Koch MP5A5 with a KAC railed forend, RIS foregrip, UMP-style buttstock and ELCAN optic. (Most of the indoor scenes were filmed in the Vancouver area.)

Another paintballer uses a paintball gun based on an AR-15.

P226 magazine

In an alternate scene, Tuck is forced to shoot FDR, but shoot him where he knows he keeps his spare magazines. While it's possible a pistol mag may have stopped a pistol round, it's unlikely the magazine would still be able to function afterwards.

FDR shows the magazine that stopped the bullet.
