Reign of Fire
The following weapons were used in the film Reign of Fire:
Rifles
Ulriks Mauser Tyrannosaurus Rex .577 Nitro
Quinn Abercromby (Christian Bale) keeps an Ulriks Mauser Tyrannosaurus Rex or T-Rex rifle in the massive .577 Nitro cartridge and is seen with it several times in the film, most notably when he faces the Bull Dragon and fires at it. Like the .600 Nitro double rifle in The Lost World: Jurassic Park, it is an expensive and rare gun that is custom-crafted by expert gunsmiths. The gun is said to have such vicious recoil and overwhelming firepower that even hunters in Africa only keep it as a back-up gun in case of a charging animal. Even with such immense firepower, the rifle manages to do little more than make the dragon mad. When looking closely at the front sight, it appears they used more than one rifle in the film as the front sight changes in some shots.
L1A1 SLR
The British variant of the FN FAL rifle, the L1A1 SLR is seen in the hands of several of the castle refugees when the Americans first arrive.
Norinco Type 56-1
One of the British refugees is seen armed with an Norinco Type 56-1 rifle.
Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III*
One of the refugees is handed a Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III* rifle when the Americans arrive and is later seen with it.
Submachine Guns
Steyr-Solothurn S1-100/MP34 submachine gun
One of the refugees is seen with a Steyr-Solothurn S1-100/MP34 submachine gun submachine gun.
M1 Thompson
One of the refugees is handed an M1 Thompson and she is later seen loading it while riding on the American tank.
MP40
One of the refugees is seen armed with an MP40 submachine gun.
Sten Mk II
One of the refugees hands out a Sten Mk II submachine gun.
Shotguns
Mossberg 500 Cruiser
Denton Van Zan (Matthew McConaughey) uses a Mossberg 500 Cruiser with a super-short barrel and a Tacstar fore-grip on the pump as his main weapon throughout the film, keeping it slung at his hip like an over-sized sidearm.
Franchi SPAS-12
A number of Americans are seen armed with the Franchi SPAS-12 shotgun during the film.
Winchester Model 1897
One of the British refugees is armed with a Winchester Model 1897 shotgun.
Light & Heavy Machine Guns
Ultimax 100 Mk. 2
Many of the Americans can be seen armed with Ultimax 100 Mk. 2 machine guns fitted with 30 round magazines. Van Zan keeps one slung over his back along with his Shorty Mossberg 500. When facing the Bull dragon during the film's climax, Alex Jensen (Izabella Scorupco) uses one to distract it long enough for Quinn to ready his Crossbow.
Browning M2HB
Americans keep Browning M2HBs mounted on the top of their tanks.
Browning M2 (mocked up as DShK)
The machine gun mounted on Van Zan's Chieftain tank is a Browning M2 visually mocked up to resemble the DShK heavy machine gun although close inspection of the receiver and belt box, as well as some other small features reveal that it is an M2.
Specialty Weapons
Magnesium Arrow Tipped C4 Crossbow
While bows aren't usually considered firearms, bows with Magnesium Phosphate C4 arrow tips are a different story. Van Zan and Quinn both use these crossbows when facing the Bull Dragon at the film's climax. Van Zan tells Quinn that the only way to kill it is to wait when it breathes fire, because only then does it expose its chest. Van Zan almost hits the Bull while standing on a tower, but it breathes fire and the arrow only manages to ignite its flame early, damaging its mouth and causing it to breathe smoke. When Quinn faces it, he loses his arrows whilst doing a Judo roll away from the dragon as it strikes. He manages to grab one of the arrows, and right before the Bull torches him, he fires it into the dragons mouth, blowing up its napalm valve and severing its head.
Harpoon Gun
When killing the first dragon, Van Zan mans a large vehicle mounted Harpoon Gun and fires it just as the dragon flies over the hill, killing it with a harpoon to the chest.
Flare Launcher
When searching the construction shaft in London, Van Zan uses a Flare Launcher to fire flares ahead of the tunnel. The weapon itself is a Defense Technology L8 Single Shot 37mm Launcher with an extended barrel.
