Sucker Punch is a 2011 science fiction fantasy directed by Zack Snyder that focuses on a young woman who steps into a fantasy world in order to escape her own horrifying reality. In the fantasy sequences, the mix of weaponry in the film spans several decades from the time period of the reality depicted in the film. The women in the film also underwent extensive training with former Navy SEALs in both weapons handling as well as room clearing techniques.

The following weapons were used in the film Sucker Punch:

Handguns

Colt M1911A1 (Custom Nickel)

In the third-tier 'dream world', the Wiseman (Scott Glenn) presents Baby Doll with her weapons, one of which is a nickel plated engraved M1911A1 pistol with spare magazines (and small jewelry attachments).

Abbie Cornish trains with a handgun at a firing range.

Auto Ordnance M1911A1 nickel

Blue (Oscar Isaac) uses an M1911A1-type pistol with a bright nickel finish and pearl grips in the brothel. Blue's pistol appears to be an Auto Ordnance M1911A1 judging from the slide serrations angle.

M1911A1

In the real world, a blued M1911A1 is used by Baby Doll (Emily Browning). Baby Doll's handgun has a 1911-style MSH (main spring housing) as opposed to the standard 1911A1 MSH. The handgun also appears to have an ambidextrous thumb safety and the mag release catch on the opposite side (as Emily Browning uses the weapon left handed). Also, black M1911A1 with what seems to pearl handles can also be seen in the extended version of the film in the hand of gangster.

Flintlock Pistol

During the trench battle with the World War One German Zombie Soldiers, Rocket (Jena Malone) uses a combination of bayonet and single shot Flintlock Pistol. She uses the pistol as a club in hand to hand combat, which is probably the most practical use for the antiquated weapon in that battle. Later, she uses it for shooting the cable from the bomb in the "distant planet" world.

Glock 19

Amber (Jamie Chung) carries what appears to be Glock 19 as her sidearm. As she seems to always be the pilot in the group, she most likely wouldn't need anything more than this. In the film she is only seen firing it from the cockpit of the bomber to dislodge an Orc. In some promotional material, Amber is seen holding the handgun as well.

Heckler & Koch UMP45 - .45 ACP. This is a screen used UMP45 that appeared in the film Live Free or Die Hard and was later used on the set of Iron Man (2008). It is one of many UMP45s that appeared in both films and is in the same configuration seen in both films.

Machine Guns

Daewoo K3 (mocked up as FN Minimi SPW)

During the dream set during World War One, Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens) carries a Daewoo K3 light machine gun fitted with a rail forearm and vertical grip (the machine gun is most likely supposed to be the FN Minimi SPW). In the extended cut of the film, she is seen emptying the machine gun at the charging zombie soldiers before she abandons it for her MP5K as soon as they reach the trench.

The gun appears to be based off the M134 Minigun.
