Resident Evil: Apocalypse is the second film in the Resident Evil film series. The 2004 survival horror sequel once again stars Milla Jovovich as Alice, who struggles to find out what the Umbrella corporation has done to her as she leads survivors in an escape from a Raccoon City infested with the dead. Directed by Alexander Witt, the film features several characters from the videogame series including Jill Valentine and Carlos.
The following weapons were used in the film Resident Evil: Apocalypse:
Beretta 92FS
Beretta 92FSs are used several times during the film, they are used by S.T.A.R.S and Umbrella personnel such as Peyton Wells (Razaaq Adoti) Nicholai Ginovaeff (Zack Ward), and Alice (Milla Jovovich) uses one near the end of the film. Cain (Thomas Kretschmann) also had one at the end of the movie.
Smith & Wesson 5946
Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory) uses a Smith & Wesson 5946 throughout the film. Jill also hands another one to Terri Morales (Sandrine Holt) when they enter the school.
Smith and Wesson 629 classic
When the survivors enter a church to take refuge from the zombies, they find Mackenzie (Geoffrey Pounsett) armed with a Smith & Wesson 629 classic hiding there. Jill (Sienna Guillory) uses his gun to shoot at the same licker until it's empty, and then discards it. In a continuity error, this gun becomes a Smith & Wesson Model 13 in several instances.
Para-Ordnance P14 Limited
Alice (Milla Jovovich) carries almost dual everything after going into a gun store. These weapons include twin Heckler & Koch MP5Ks and twin Para-Ordinance P14s. After she crashes through a church window, Alice uses her P-14s to blow up the motorcycle with a licker on it. According to the armorer, they shaved the beaver-tails and cleared up the back edges of her handguns.
SIG SG-552
A commonly used rifle in the movie, most of the Umbrella "closed helmets" use them, as well as most of the S.T.A.R.S. officers seen in the film.(pics to come)
SOCOM 16
When Alice runs down the side of the town hall tower in the climax she knocks down a Umbrella guard who's armed with a SOCOM 16 with a forward mounted M68 Aimpoint scope.
M4A1
Another commonly used rifle, used primarily by the S.T.A.R.S. They were several officers using this weapon during the shootout with the approaching zombies early on in the film. When L.J. meets the S.T.A.R.S., he is greeted with a few M4A1s to the face.
M60
During the shootout with the overrunning zombies, a S.T.A.R.S. officer can be seen (maybe for a literal second) with an M60, bipods folded.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
The Heckler & Koch MP5A3 is seen in hands of several S.T.A.R.S. members.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
In addition to carrying two P14.45s, Alice also carries two Heckler & Koch MP5Ks which had the upper receivers spray painted silver by the armorer and fitted with modified Heckler & Koch SP89 grips (likely due to the lack of two handed firing). She most notably uses these weapons to shoot at a licker in the church, and trap it under a crucifix. Milla in the movie behind the scene and unfortunately in the novelization she actually thought they were Uzis.
Heckler & Koch UMP-9
A Heckler & Koch UMP-9 is briefly seen carried by an Umbrella soldier that Alice takes out.
Magnum Research Inc. Mark XIX Desert Eagle
Variants of the Desert Eagle are carried by both Carlos Olivera (Oded Fehr) and L.J. (Mike Epps). Carlos carries two black oxide finished Desert Eagles in the .44 Magnum caliber while as L.J. carries twin .44 Magnum Gold-plated Desert Eagle handguns customized with Millett front sight in orange color. Probably this unusual caliber was chosen because the film was filmed in Canada.
- Vandal: Actually the Desert Eagle pistol was originally meant to be chambered in .44 Magnum
High Standard K-1200 Riot Shotgun
Alice (Milla Jovovich) grabs a High Standard K-1200 Riot Deluxe Shotgun with rifle sights, out of a police car in the abandoned streets in a quick recap of the first film.
Armscor M30SAS
A S.T.A.R.S. officer tries to give L.J. (Mike Epps) a Armscor M30SAS shotgun when he encounters them in the theater. He declines, showing off his golden Desert Eagles instead.
Mossberg 590 "Compact Cruiser"
Alice (Milla Jovovich) carries and uses a Mossberg 590 "Compact Cruiser" through out the film. She most notably uses this weapon to blow away two lickers in the church.
Accuracy International Arctic Warfare
A S.T.A.R.S. sniper uses an Accuracy International Arctic Warfare while behind a sign on the roof of a theater. He uses it to save L.J. from a zombie. At first L.J. thought he was aiming for him.
IMI Tavor TAR-21
Nicholai Ginovaeff (Zack Ward) is armed with an IMI Tavor CTAR-21 which is the compact version of the TAR-21 which Nicholai wields with an ITL MARS red dot sight, a flashlight and a laser sight. Yuri Loginova (Stefan Hayes) also uses a Tavor TAR-21 with an ELCAN scope, normally mounted on Canadian Military C7s but since filming for this movie was done in Canada, they would be available.
Micro Galil
Carlos Olivera (Oded Fehr) uses a Micro Galil as his primary weapon. Olivera uses his Galil with C-More red dot sight, a lasersight, a flashlight and a foregrip. The handguard is an Israeli made polymer version with Picatinny rail on the bottom. The gas tube was replaced with a modular gas tube with rail built into the top. Apparently, several Umbrella soldiers with the helmets on had this weapon as well.
Nemesis' Minigun
One of the two weapons The Nemesis (Matthew G. Taylor) uses is a customized Minigun with shortened barrels, individual flash hiders for each of the barrels, a green laser sight, custom aluminum barrel shroud and furniture featuring a fictitious ammo counter on the side. This is the first movie Minigun designed to be fired one handed. Unlike previous films featuring these weapons, the ammunition is fed from the weapon off screen rather than carried on the actor's back. In wide shots where Nemesis doesn't fire the weapon, the ammo chute leads into the back of his trench coat. In movie land the weapon supposedly has 5000 rounds loaded, though the two ammo cans left in the shipping container imply that he has no more than 400 rounds minus the three or four linked rounds he left behind. In reality the gun had about 200 rounds loaded in the ammo chute, and the armorers attached a larger ammo can to the chute for scenes were they needed more sustained fire. In wide shots where Nemesis doesn't fire the weapon, the end of the chute is secured inside the actor's trench coat. In a continuity error, when he sets down his weapons for the final hand-to-hand fight with Alice, the Minigun doesn't have a chute installed at all, however, it does moments later when he uses it to destroy the Umbrella security detail. In addition to the weapon's fake ammo counter, the Nemesis also has a HUD that shows his health and weapon status for both the Minigun and the rocket launcher much like in a first person shooter. Surprisingly the ammo displayed on the weapon's ammo counter is not only consistent with what displays in Nemesis' POV HUD shots, but the numbers also imply a consistent on screen fire rate of about 4200 RPM. In reality the weapon was firing at a much slower rate, probably no more than the 1250 RPM of the Predator/T2 gun. The film's armorer, (Al Vrkljan), has commented the following on our forum.
"The M134 mini was really simple, we just made our own barrels at 12 inches and also made a shorter barrel clamp. Then the rest was furniture machined from aluminum to make it lighter, 60-80 pounds total, then we attached a feed chute that held 200 rnds in the chute and there you have it. It was fired by one arm, so take that Arnie. For extended firing, the ammo can was below camera frame, the longest burst was when he was taking out the stars unit, did about 15 seconds straight and that was a very long 15 seconds, funny watching the brass and link build up around his ankles."
Nemesis' "U-RL-012" Rocket Launcher
This shipping crate for this weapon is labeled U-RL-012, no doubt a model number standing for "Umbrella Rocket Launcher." According to Nemesis' HUD the weapon is loaded with six rockets, which is precisely how many he fires in the film before being killed.
This custom prop Rocket launcher is the Nemesis' alternate weapon. The launcher (like many movie rocket or missile launchers in movies) is a custom prop, designed and built from scratch. Since no rocket launcher in Hollywood actually fires real deadly rockets, the launcher has to only hold the 'flash' launch mechanism that the special effects people/pyrotechnicians require for the shot.
Barrett M82A1
An Umbrella sniper (cameo role of director Alexander Witt) on top of Raccoon City's city hall (Actually Toronto City Hall) was about to use it to shoot Carlos when Alice popped up and surprised the man. Apparently the scope of the gun, in the movie, had some sort of advanced computer targeting system that compensates for wind direction, wind speed, and target distance.
M16A2
You can see a couple M16s strapped to boxes inside the helicopter at the end of the movie.
Heckler & Koch G36C
The Heckler & Koch G36C in the hands of biohazard men re-opening the Hive at the beginning of the film as well as various S.T.A.R.S members and Umbrella guards.
