Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

The following weapons were used in the film Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines:

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)

Smith & Wesson 4506-1

In addition to her various built-in weapons, the T-X (Kristanna Loken) also uses a Smith & Wesson 4506-1 that she procured from an L.A.P.D. officer who pulled her over. She uses it to terminate several of her victims until she encounters the main protagonists.

Fun note. The Novelization referred to this as a Sig-Sauer.

Remington 870

In addition to clothes and a vehicle, the Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) procures a Remington 870 shotgun with a high-capacity magazine tube, custom foregrip, and heat shield from the roadhouse he appears near. The Shotgun is also outfitted with the U.S.M.C.-style tube support clamp. This clamp usually has an M7 bayonet lug on it when used by the U.S. Marines, but Arnold's version has no bayonet lug. He then uses the shotgun during the first encounter with the T-X at the veterinary clinic and in the ensuing car chase.

Paintball pistol

When raiding the veterinary clinic for drugs, John Connor (Nick Stahl) brandishes a paintball pistol disguised as a Walther PPK. He ends up getting shot with it when Katherine Brewster (Claire Danes) manages to get it away from him. Of course, there is not Paintball pistol that could be mocked up like that! Perhaps, they mean a Airsoft pistol?

note: some Airsoft pistols are capable of firing 6mm paintballs

Walther PPK .380 ACP

Glock 19

During the cemetery scene, Katherine grabs a Glock 19 pistol from a coffin full of weapons extracted from the 'grave' of Sarah Connor and demands to be released, believing that she had been abducted by the Terminator. When the Terminator tries to take the pistol from her she shoots him in the mouth with it, then looks on as the Terminator spits out the bullet and tells her "don't do that".

"I'll shoot you, I swear I will!" Kate with her Glock 19 aimed at the Terminator.

Glock 18

A Glock 18 makes several appearances in the movie, first seen being loaded with a high-capacity magazine during the cemetery scene and again sitting on a table in the recreational vehicle while the trio are en-route to CRS, and once more at Crystal Peak when Connor fires it to ensure there's no Skynet-controlled machines lying in wait, and then when Connor is trying to hold off the T-X while Katherine tries to get the blast door open.

Glock 36

When discussing their next plan of action after the cemetery, Connor pulls a Glock 36 in frustration and threatens to shoot himself in the head if the Terminator doesn't follow his orders to go to CRS to rescue Katherine's father from the T-X. How the Fiery Hell can you tell that is a 36?---Because the Glock 36 is a single stack .45. Look at the screep cap and you can clearly tell that the handgun has a single stack magazine.

Heckler & Koch MP5A2

During the cemetery scene, a large number of the SWAT officers are seen using Heckler & Koch MP5A2's with the Navy trigger group and Surefire dedicated forend weaponlights.

Heckler & Koch UMP45

One of the weapons in the coffin taken from the cemetery is an Heckler & Koch UMP with the stock removed and fitted with a C-More red dot sight. It is first seen being set on a table prior to the recreational vehicle being comandeered, and again when the Terminator engages the T-X at CRS. It works extremely well (for a submachine gun) on the T-X: knocking it to the ground probably due to the rapid succession of large .45 caliber rounds. Where as we see time and time again-fire from 9mm Heckler & Koch MP5's, even multiple guns firing simultaneously, do little more than strip the biological covering as the Terminator advances at almost normal pace.

Heckler & Koch G36K

Yet another weapon from the coffin is an Heckler & Koch G36K with the stock removed and two magazines clipped together. It is first seen being carried from the wrecked hearse with the other weapons, then being used by the Terminator at the CRS facility firing on a flying robot, then again attempting to engage the T-X, only to find it out of ammo.

M4A1 Carbine

During the cemetery scene, some of the SWAT officers are armed with M4A1 carbines fitted with Surefire M500AB weaponlights and C-More red dot sights. Connor and several resistance fighters can also be seen raising M4A1's in victory in one of the scenes from the future at the beginning of the film, Connor's M4 mounting an M26 MASS shotgun, minus the magazine.

Browning M1919

During the cemetery scene, the Terminator is seen using a Browning M1919 machine gun fitted with a drum magazine as well as a shoulder strap and special side-mounted trigger to allow him to fire the weapon one-handed from the hip. He uses the weapon to lay down covering fire on the SWAT officers, and just as in Terminator 2: Judgement Day, the damage is limited to the assembled police cars, with the SWAT officers not taking a single hit from the barrage.

Beretta 92FS

The T-X can be seen at CRS wielding a Beretta 92FS pistol (presumably stolen from one of the military personnel working at he facility) when she terminates Katherine's father, Lt. General Robert Brewster (David Andrews), firing several rounds before the Terminator can stop her.

Penn Arms Rotary Launcher

Yet another weapon the Terminator gets from the coffin is a Penn Arms rotary launcher fitted with a C-More red dot sight and a bandoleer of 37mm grenades for it. The launcher is first seen being inspected after being taken from the coffin, then being used by the Terminator to knock the T-X through a wall and down a shaft before remarking that "she'll be back". For some reason, the grenades don't explode on impact with the T-X - They are most likely phosphorus grenade rounds, used commonly for well armored targets.

Type 69 RPG

Another of the weapons taken from the coffin is a Type 69 RPG launcher and several rockets for it. The Terminator fires it from the hearse at the T-X, sending her flying and smashing into a headstone in the cemetery, blasting a gash in her right shoulder.

GE M134 Minigun

The T-1 robots that are sent on a rampage at CRS are seen equipped with two GE M134 Miniguns each. The Terminator manages to disable one of these robots and rips one of the miniguns off, using it to shoot up another T-1 down the hall.

Custom AKMS

Another of the weapons taken from the coffin is an AKMS with a chopped barrel and two magazines held together with a dual-mag clamp. Connor is first seen using it, trying to defend himself from the T-X when she boards the Hearse he and the other two are making their escape from the cemetery in. It then appears several more times at CRS, most notably when Katherine uses it to destroy a flying robot, and then when it's yanked out of Connor's hand when the electromagnet is powered up while he and Katherine are fleeing from the T-X, both the gun and the murderous android sticking to the side of the magnet.

Cemetary Arsenal

When the Terminator opens Sarah Connor's coffin and finds weapons you either see it in their or see it pulled out which include: a Browning M1919 with drum magazine, a machine pistol (MPi) variant of a Glock 18, one Glock 19, a belt of 40mm grenades, RPG rounds, one Norinco Type 69 RPG, a Ithaca 37 "Stakeout", .50 caliber rounds, a Custom version of the AKMS, an L6 grenade launcher, one Heckler & Koch G36K and one Heckler & Koch UMP.

Which begs the question: why in movie Arsenals have they guns, but no extra ammo? Having spare ammunition would actually make sense. But it's Hollywood. Unlimited ammunition.

I think I also saw an M16A2 on the Table when the Terminator Unloads the Weapons at the Caravan Park. - Thomas

Westinghouse M95A1 Phased Plasma Rifle

The fictional Westinghouse M95A1 Phased Plasma Rifle is seen being used by the endoskeleton Terminators in the future scenes of the film. This weapon was built on the Calico M960 9mm submachine gun.
