The Invasion is a 2007 science fiction horror thriller film starring Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig. It is the fourth feature film based on Jack Finney's novel The Body Snatchers, which includes 1956's Invasion of the Body Snatchers and its 1978 remake, and 1993's Body Snatchers.

The following weapons were used in the film The Invasion:

Pistols

Beretta 92FS

A Beretta 92FS is found in a maintenance area of the Washington DC Metrosystem in the unattended gunbelt of a Transit Police officer (Jeff Wincott) and is then picked up by Dr. Carol Benell in a panic (Nicole Kidman) who shoots and kills the returning (and bodysnatched) Transit Police officer when he tries to disarm her of his stolen firearm. The firearm can also be seen briefly holstered in Bianchi M12 Holster of a Soldier standing in as an M9.

Beretta 92FS -9mm

Dr. Carol Benell eyes the unattended Beretta 92FS and goes for it. Observe how the magazine pouches on the gunbelt are positioned behind the holster itself, which would make for an inconvenient reload/use.

Glock 17

A Glock 17 Gen 2 is taken off of a unconscious Baltimore City Police officer by Dr. Carol Benell when she finds him and several other victims of the alien spore in the process of turning in a store room of a pharmacy. It can be identified as a 2nd Gen Glock 17 by the lack of any rails. The Glock 17 is also carried by the character of Dr. Ben Driscoll (Daniel Craig) briefly when he steals the uniform of a dead Metropolitan Police District of Columbia officer.

Glock 17 -9mm

The Glock 17 is spotted in the unconscious Baltimore Police Officer's unsnapped holser, observe the texturing on the backstrap making the Glock 17 at least a 2nd Generation

Observe the lack of a rail on the Glock 17 which would make it a second generation.

Rifles

M4A1 Carbine

The M4A1 Carbine can be seen briefly in the hands of soldiers at the climax of the film with both the carry handle attached or optics/flashlight.

M4 Carbine - 5.56mm

M60D - 5.56mm

Observe how the doorgunner grabs onto the spade grips identifying the firearm as an M60D
