I Declare War

I Declare War (2012)

I Declare War is a 2012 Canadian action/fantasy directed by Jason Lapeyre and Robert Wilson. Although the film's entire cast is made up of pre-teens, all of the guns fired onscreen were real, which were only imaginary to the film's characters.

The following weapons were used in the film I Declare War:

Handguns

M1911A1

Quinn (Aidan Gouveia) is armed with an M1911A1.

Beretta 92FS

P.K. (Gage Munroe) is armed with a nickel-plated Beretta 92FS, although it's quite possible this is a blank-firing replica like a Reck Miami 92F.

Colt M4A1 with 4 position collapsible stock, RIS foregrip, folding rear sight, and ACOG scope - 5.56x45mm

SIG SG 552

Sikorski (Dyson Fyke) and Frost (Alex Cardillo) are armed with short-barrelled SIG SG 552s with pronged flash hiders and standard diopter sights. Dyson Fyke correctly identifies them as such during a making-of featurette.

Browning M2 Aircraft

Wesley imagines a mocked up mounted weapon as a tricked out Browning M2 Aircraft.

Browning M2 Aircraft, Flexible - .50 BMG

M67 hand grenade

P.K. tosses an M67 hand grenade, which Frost catches and tosses back.
