28 Weeks Later is the 2007 British horror film and the sequel to 28 Days Later. The sequel follows a brother and a sister who make their way to a London supposedly free of the virus outbreak from the first film and now under the occupation of NATO and the US Army. The film's cast included Rose Byrne,Idris Elba, Jeremy Renner, and Robert Carlyle. A sequel, 28 Years Later, will be released in 2025.
The following weapons were used in the film 28 Weeks Later:
Handguns
Beretta 92FS
The Beretta 92FS (standing in for the military-issue M9) is the standard sidearm for a few Deltas and U.S. Army troops in District One including Brigadier General Stone (Idris Elba) and Major Scarlet Levy (Rose Byrne) who notably uses her sidearm to kill an infected Captain, then it is seen in her Bianchi M12 holster for the remainder of the movie.
Heckler & Koch USP
Doyle (Jeremy Renner) appears to carry a Heckler & Koch USP in a drop leg holster.
Doyle (Jeremy Renner) appears to carry a Heckler & Koch USP in a thigh holster.
Submachine Guns
MP5A5
A Heckler & Koch MP5A5 equipped with an EOTech 551 Holographic sight and clamped magazines is seen being used by Flynn (Harold Perrineau). He jokingly pulls it on Doyle when he scares him and later when the kids confront him near the end of the movie.
Shotguns
Mossberg 500
What appears to be a Mossberg 500 with a high capacity tube magazine is seen being held by a U.S. soldier when the children arrive at District One.
Assault Rifles / Carbines
Colt M4A1 carbine
U.S. Army soldiers are mostly armed with the standard issue M4A1 carbine deployed to the UK guarding District One throughout the movie, with most of them fitted with Aimpoint CompM2 CCOs and/or Trijicon TA01 ACOG scopes on detachable carrying handle rear sights, KAC foregrips, flashlights, AN/PEQ-2 IR designator and CAR 4 position buttstocks. Delta sniper Sergeant Doyle (Jeremy Renner) notably wields a highly customized M4A1 after he leaves his post on the roof. Doyle's rifle has an EOTech 551 Holographic sight with a PVS-14 NVG sight, flashlight, quick release sling, UTG foldable foregrip and CAA CBS CAR telescoping stock; additionally the carbine's front post sight has been removed and replaced with a low profile gas block, likely to have a clear sight. Just before his sacrifice, Doyle leaves the carbine for Major Scarlet Levy (Rose Byrne), who later uses the night vision optic to help the kids and herself navigate through the pitch-black subway tunnels. Tammy (Imogen Poots) briefly uses the weapon at the film’s climax to kill her infected father before she drops the weapon and leaves it on the subway floor. When firing is not required in scenes, a lot of the non-firing M4s are Classic Army airsoft replicas. You can see the white Armalite trademarks on the side and some shots even the winding wheels on the high cap magazines.
Faulty Sights
Doyle (Jeremy Renner) has his M4A1 fitted with an EOTech sight along with the PVS-14 NVG sight. Note the lack of a holographic reticule. When he is seen taking down the infected, the view through the scope makes it appear that his shots are off from the center. Similar to the "faulty scope" in Saving Private Ryan, this was an intentional decision by the filmmakers in order to see the bullet hits more clearly.
Colt M16A2
A US soldier seen early in the film is armed with an M16A2 rifle.
Sniper Rifles
Barrett M82A1
One of the Delta Force snipers at the start of the film can be briefly seen with a Barrett M82A1 sniper rifle with a Leupold Mk 4 10x scope to view British civilians in apartments. The Barrett is later briefly (although mostly unseen) used by the same sniper to fire at the infected below District One before ordered to open fire on infected and civilians, where he stressfully fires 'fully automatically', which the firing sound report gives off to a heavy caliber machine gun.
Mk 12 SPR
Mk 12 SPR is used by a Delta sniper to kill two survivors, wound Scarlet, and finally shoot at Andy. The sniper was seen firing in semi and full-automatic.
Remington Model 700P LTR
A U.S. Army Delta sniper is seen with a Remington Model 700P LTR on the rooftops of District One during the beginning of the film and the sniper barrage during the outbreak. This rifle is likely intended to stand in as the Remington M24.
Springfield M1A
Most U.S. Army Delta Force rooftop snipers including Sergeant Doyle (Jeremy Renner) wield and use Springfield M1A rifles with Leupold Mk4 10x40 scopes, Parker & Hale bipods and urban grey camouflage paint in District One while some of them have black fiberglass stocks and AN/PVS-4 Night Vision sights wrapped in cloth. A Delta 'Rooftop Sniper' (Chris Ryman) aims and fires a M1A fitted with a AN/PVS-4 Night Vision sight with cloth (likely the same rifle) during the infection containment breakout in District One. These rifles have been modified to replicate the M21 Sniper Weapon System (SWS).
Machine Guns
Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun
The Browning M2HB heavy machine gun can be seen in both fixed position mounts and atop vehicles in throughout the film. As the train carrying the returning refugees pulls into the rail station, a fortified position sporting an M2HB is visible through the window. During the infection breakout in District One, a U.S. soldier can briefly be seen firing a Browning M2HB when the infected break out of the buildings, among uninfected civilians.
FN Minimi
A few U.S. Army soldiers can be seen carrying FN Minimis throughout the film, mostly standing in for the M249 SAW Squad Automatic Weapon.
FN M249 SAW
Among the few FN Minimis in film, genuine M249 SAWs are also seen carried by few U.S. Army soldiers, most notably standing guard when new survivors arrive in District One, with at least one wielding a SAW with a Trijicon ACOG scope.
FN M240B Machine Gun
A U.S. Army soldiers are seen briefly using the M240B Machine Gun when the infected are breaking out. One also appears to be a mounted also on a patrol boat.
Grenade Launchers
M203 Grenade Launcher
A few US soldiers are seen with M203 grenade launchers attached to their M4A1 Carbines and M16A2 rifles.
Other
Custom Flamethrower
Used by a US Army sweeper team, this unknown flamethrower is used to burn the dead infected. I could only get one good picture of it, though. Note the other US Army sweeper using an M4 with Ergo rail covers, vertical grip, optics, and ranger plates. In real life, the US Army got rid of its flamethrowers by the late 1970s.
