Watchmen (2009)


M79 grenade launcher

The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) uses an M79 grenade launcher to fire smoke rounds at people trying to vandalize the buildings with the phrase "Who watches the Watchmen?" in the rioting crowds. He even hits one rioter dead on with a smoke round to the back during the "American Dream" scene.

M79 grenade launcher - 40mm.

The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) uses a Flamethrower to light his cigar with the pilot and then burn a Vietnamese soldier while in Vietnam. He can also be seen posing with it in Movie Posters.

M1911A1

The Comedian uses his issued M1911A1 sidearm in Vietnam to kill a Vietnamese women who slashes him with a broken bottle after he tells her he is leaving her and their baby behind. A criminal can be seen beaten by the old Night Owl armed with a 1911 and a criminal tries to draw his 1911 on Dr. Manhattan before being blow up.

D&L Sports Professional Model Longslides

The Comedian's sidearms right up to his murder are custom 1911 D&L Sports Professional Model Longslides with ornate smiley-face grips to match the Comedian logo. They have "Nixon 1970" written on the grips, indicating they were a gift from Nixon for serving in the Vietnam war. At the beginning of the film, Comedian tries to bring up one of his 1911s to combat the attacking assailant in his home but fires off one stray shot to no avail and is disarmed. For the most part, these guns are only seen in his holsters or in a presentation case any other time.

Zastava M70AB2

Vietnamese Soldiers destroyed by Dr. Manhattan wield folding stock Zastava M70AB2 rifles noted by their folding grenade launcher sights.

Colt Model 654 - 5.56mm. This is assumed to be the basic rifle in which these CAR-15s are built on, since no real Colt Commandos with genuine flash hiders are used in films.

Ruger AC556

SWAT members trying to apprehend Rorshach (Jackie Earle Haley) in Molloch's (Matt Frewer) house are seen armed with Ruger AC556 rifles with folding stocks.

Ruger AC556 Carbine - 5.56mm. This is the full automatic version of the Mini 14 with a distinctive Barrel and bayonet lug. Ruger also offers the Mini-14 GB ("Government Barrel" Model) which is a semi automatic only version of the AC556 for Law Enforcement and (some) civilian sales. The Full Auto AC556 has a distinctive Auto Selector Switch on the back of the receiver that the Semi Auto Ruger Mini 14 does not.

Winchester Model 70

In a promotional image, the Comedian is seen with a smoking Winchester Model 70.

Carcano M91/38

The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is seen holding a scoped Carcano M91/38 while watching John F. Kennedy's car drive by. This implies it was him who assassinated JFK and not Lee Harvey Oswald.

Ithaca 37

The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) fires on rampaging crowd members with an Ithaca 37 shotgun. It is unclear but it is assumed he is using rubber shot or else he is murdering civilians, which seems unbecoming of a vigilante.

Ithaca 37 - 12 Gauge.

Franchi PA3

A Franchi PA3 is seen in the Comedian's (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) closet when Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley) investigates his home. In the original graphic novel, the only thing seen in the closet was his costume, a MAC-10, and a few knives.

Smith & Wesson Model 10

Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolvers are used by the guards in Riker's prison, one of which is taken by Silk Spectre II (Malin Akerman) and later used to shoot Adrian Veidt (Matthew Goode), who impressively catches the bullet.

Smith & Wesson Model 10 - .38 Special.

Smith & Wesson Model 586

A Smith & Wesson Model 586 with a four inch barrel is used by Roy Chess to fire at Adrian Veidt (Matthew Goode) and shoot three employees (killing two) before Veidt hits him with a pole. In the novel the gun was a Beretta Cheetah modeled gun.

Smith & Wesson Model 586 - .357 Magnum.

Walther PPK

A Walther PPK is left at Molloch's side after he is murdered in which we see the person planting it unscrews the suppressor and places it next to him. Early though when Rorschach picks it up, it appears to be a Colt Python, although it is not verified until the DVD comes out.

.22 Revolver

An unknown .22 revolver is seen drawn by the man who murdered the little girl and he draws it when entering his house but it is disarmed by Rorschach.

M1 Garand

During the opening sequence summing up the past, Hippies stick flowers into police member's M1 Garand rifles before the police fire them on the hippies, flowers still in the muzzles. In reality, the police during the Vietnam war riots used M14 rifles, which has phased out the Garand.

M1 Garand semiautomatic Rifle with leather M1917 sling - .30-06

M1928 Thompson

A thug is seen foiled in the opening credits while firing an M1928 Thompson into the air. In the graphic novel, a picture is seen of The Comedian holding an M1928A1 while serving in the Pacific during WWII.

Sawed Off Double Barrel Shotgun

Rorshach's Grapple Gun

Specifically designed by Nite Owl II for him, Rorshach first uses this gun to enter Edward Blake's apartment and later uses it as a weapon to break a SWAT members collar bone.
