The Thing is the 2011 prequel to John Carpenter's 1982 classic horror film of the same name. Set prior to the events of the 1982 feature, the film stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Dr. Kate Loyd, who is invited to investigate a strange discovery in Antarctica. The film co-stars Joel Edgerton, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, and Ulrich Thomsen.
The following weapons were used in the film The Thing:
Handguns
Walther P38
Peder (Stig Henrik Hoff) and Lars (Jørgen Langhelle) carry Walther P38 pistols as their sidearms in the film. Derek Jameson (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) gets a hold of Lars' Walther P38 at one point, and uses it from that point on.
Beretta 92FS
Sam Carter (Joel Edgerton) carries a Beretta 92FS as his sidearm in the film, and uses it after The Thing escapes from the block of ice. This pistol is anachronistic, since the 92F/FS wasn't available in 1982, the time setting of the original film. Beretta did make the 92 series of pistols in 1982, but the 92F wasn't available until at least 1983 and the 92FS in 1988. The closest thing to a 92FS in 1982 would be an original Beretta 92, Beretta 92S or Beretta 92SB.
Rifles
Heckler & Koch HK33
Lars uses a Heckler & Koch HK33 during the end, leading up to the events of the The Thing. The lower receiver is visible in the film, which confirms the rifle as the select fire version, unlike in the 1982 original (where a Heckler & Koch HK93 was used).
Other
Custom Flamethrower
Nearly all of the characters, including Sam Carter (Joel Edgerton), Dr. Kate Loyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), Lars, and Peder use a custom flamethrower throughout the film.
AN/M14 Incendiary Grenade
Lars (Jørgen Langhelle) shows Kate Loyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) where to find AN/M14 Incendiary Grenades if need be. Kate Loyd uses a couple of these grenades near the end of the film.
