3000 Miles to Graceland (2001)

Handguns

M1911A1

Thomas Murphy (Kevin Costner) carries a pair of nickel M1911A1s as his sidearms in the first half of the film, notably dual-wielding them during the casino heist. The pistols mount extended slide-stops. He loses these guns after being arrested in Boise, Idaho, and later receives a replacement M1911A1 with a standard finish from his friend Jack (Howie Long). During the casino heist, a Las Vegas Police Officer attacks Murphy's gang with a SIG P226, which briefly changes to an M1911A1 in a continuity error.

Smith & Wesson Model 29

Hanson threatens Murphy after their disagreement. Even though the 629 is a double action/single action pistol, Hanson cocks the hammer to make himself appear more threatening, later de-cocking it when the situation apparently calms down.

Smith & Wesson Model 686

Just before the warehouse shootout, Jack (Howie Long) is seen loading a Smith & Wesson Model 686. Michael (Kurt Russell) catches Jack off guard and disarms him, then holding the weapon on Jack and Murphy (Kevin Costner) until the SWAT team arrives and he drops it.

Beretta 92FS

The casino security guards carry Beretta 92FS's and use them during the heist shootout. During the final shootout at the warehouse, some of the Police officers surrounding the area are also armed with Beretta 92FS pistols.

Beretta 92FS INOX

What appears to be a Beretta 92FS INOX is used by Hanson (Christian Slater) in the casino.

Walther P99

Franklin (Bokeem Woodbine) is seen holding an empty Walther P99 in the casino elevator as the Las Vegas Police Officer attacks the gang. It's not clear where the pistol came from, as he is never seen wielding it (or firing it) at any point.

SIG-Sauer P226

The Las Vegas Police Officer that corners the gang i nthe casino elevator is armed with a SIG P226. He shoots Franklin (Bokeem Woodbine) several times before Murphy (Kevin Costner) disarms him and shoots him in the head. Near the end of the movie, Jack briefly draws his own SIG P226 when Michael and Murphy have their standoff in the warehouse.

Smith & Wesson 5946

Michael carries a Smith & Wesson 5946 as his sidearm in the early part of the film, at one point using it to threaten Cybil (Courtney Cox) when she refuses to hand over her car keys. (Hey, he already gave her a big wad of cash, what else is he gonna do?)

Ruger Vaquero

Murphy gets pulled over by an officer carrying a Ruger Vaquero, which he uses when he challenges Murphy to a quick draw duel. The front sight has been filed off for a faster draw, a common tactic amongst quick draw shooters.

Shotguns

Franchi SPAS-12

Murphy's (Kevin Costner) main weapon during the Casino heist is a Franchi SPAS-12. He kills several security guards, reloads mid fight, and proceeds to kill several more guards before discarding the weapon due to its long reload time.

Mossberg 500

Just before the final shoot out in the warehouse, Murphy (Kevin Costner) is given a short barreled Mossberg 500 fitted with rear and forward pistol grips, a heat shield and a shell holder. He uses the weapon to shoot Michael (Kurt Russell) after SWAT shows up, and briefly uses it to shoot at the SWAT team members. This is the same shotgun used in Reindeer Games, Smokin' Aces 2: Assassins' Ball and other films and television series filmed in Vancouver.

Submachine Guns

FN P90

Hamilton (Ice-T) uses a pair of FN P90s wielded akimbo during the warehouse shoot out. In one of the more cool looking (and kind of stupid) scenes, Hamilton rides a zip line upside down, spraying both FN P90s at the SWAT officers. He is quickly gunned down, of course, for exposing himself as such an easy target.

Custom Rocky Mountain Arms Patriot Pistols

During the casino heist, Gus (David Arquette) and Franklin (Bokeem Woodbine) use strange-looking compact assault rifles. One of these weapons is also used near the end of the movie, when Murphy (Kevin Costner) uses one for the first part of the warehouse shoot out. These weapons are custom-built Rocky Mountain Arms Patriot Pistol "carbines". They were clearly built by fitting Patriot Pistol upper receiver/barrel assembles to the lower receiver/telescoping stocks of some other M16 carbine variants, mostly likely the XM177 or Model 654. The armorers then added M4-style carry handles and 100-round Beta-C magazines. Guns similar to these have also been seen in Congo and Soldier (coincidentally, the latter is another movie that starred Kurt Russell).

(Fake) Colt XM177

Hanson (Christian Slater) and Michael (Kurt Russell) use M16 carbine variants that are mocked up to resemble Colt XM177 during the the casino heist. Michael never fires his weapon at any of the security guards, instead shooting the glass above a group of pursuing guards. Michael then passes his gun to Murphy (Kevin Costner) as the group makes their escape to the helicopter.

All of these rifles are fake XM177 rifles which seem to have been built from other AR variants. The real XM177 has a slab-side receiver, which only Michael's gun has (at least when he's in the elevator). The rifles used by the other robbers have both M16A2-style receivers (forward assist, brass deflector, and M16A2-style rear sight) and Model 715-style receivers (forward assist, brass deflector, and M16A1-style rear sight). This means that they're probably other AR carbine variants with chopped barrels and fake XM177 flash hiders fitted. Most of the Hollywood "XM177s" seen in movies are just like these (see also The Rock, for instance).

Michael's weapon had a slab-side receiver (characteristic of the real XM177), but this gun has an M16A2-style receiver. That means it's some other M16 carbine variant with a chopped barrel and fake XM177 flash hider welded on.

Light Machine Guns

Daewoo K3 (visually modified to resemble M249 Paratrooper SAW)

During the final shoot out in the warehouse, Jack (Howie Long) uses a light machine gun which may appear to resemble an M249 Paratrooper SAW against several SWAT officers. However, this weapon is actually a Daewoo K3 that was visually modified to resemble an M249; this is discerned most easily by looking at the front sight After Jack is gunned down while trying to save Murphy (Kevin Costner), Murphy picks up the K3 and uses it for his last stand.

Daewoo K3 - 5.56x45mm. One of these LMGs, fitted with a fake M249 Paratrooper-style stock and shortened barrel, is the weapon used in the film.

M249 SAW 5.56mm paratrooper version with 200 round ammo drum, for comparison purposes. Note how the receiver, stock, and front sight of this weapon do not match the LMG seen in the movie.

"So who gets this?"

Jack opens fire at SWAT.

Murphy grabs a fresh ammo belt for his Daewoo K3.

Murphy reloads the K3 for his last stand.

Murphy puts on a "Woah! This machine gun kicks ass" face.

Murphy opens fire at the police outside the warehouse. Note: As Murphy goes up the stairs he takes a leg shot, hitting the femoral artery, as we see blood spewing when he ties it off. You can tell it is bothering him while he is shooting as well.

In true bad guy fashion, Murphy refuses to surrender and fires his K3 at SWAT.

Misc.

Las Vegas Police Officer's P226/M1911

Near the end of the Casino shoot out, an LVMPD officer tries to stop Michael and Murphy's group when they retreat to the elevator. The officer's weapon changes briefly from a SIG P226 to a M1911.

When the officer shoves his gun between the elevator doors, the gun is a SIG P226 (see insert). When there's a close up of the gun firing, it's a M1911.

Winchester Model 1894

After Murphy betrays Michael, a trucker finds him on the road and offers him a ride. Behind the trucker is Winchester Model 1894.
