Mortal Engines is a 2018 steampunk fantasy film set in the post-apocalyptic far future, where society now lives in a series of mobile cities. Based on the first novel of the same name in the Mortal Engines Quartet by Philip Reeve, Mortal Engines was released in the US in December of 2018 and was directed by Christian Rivers from a screenplay written by Lord of the Rings veteran Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, and Peter Jackson, who also produced the feature.
The following weapons were used in the film Mortal Engines:
Anti-Traction League Handgun (Modified Calico M950/950A)
Many characters used a custom pistol whose design was inspired by the Calico M950, with a helical magazine being a prominent example. It appears to be a standard-issue sidearm of the members of the Anti-Traction League, as it is mostly seen in the hands of both Anna Fang's (Jihae Kim) crew and Shan Guo's guards. Hester Shaw (Hera Hilmar) and Thaddeus Valentine (Hugo Weaving) also use the pistol later in the movie.
Handmade Pistol
During the Rustwater market fight, one slaver holds a handmade pistol with a built-in bayonet but gets shot by Anna before he can use it. Hester then picked it up and shot at Tom's shackle, freeing him. The pistol seems to have a magazine, but Hester shoots it once and then ditches it.
Anna Fang's Blunderbuss
Anna Fang's (Jihae Kim) main weapon during the Rustwater market fight is the triple-barreled over-and-under sawn-off shotgun, which she fired in rapid succession, apparently more than the supposed three shots. The weapon is also featured prominently in the promotional material, suggesting that it is her signature weapon, even though she uses it briefly in the proper film.
Anna Fang's Quad-Barreled Pistol
Another weapon Anna Fang uses is the four-barreled Howdah-style hand cannon, described as a custom-made weapon. The weapon bears a resemblance to a Lancaster 4-barreled Howdah Pistol. Anna uses this weapon in the climax of the film to try to assassinate Thaddeus Valentine (Hugo Weaving).
Valentine's Hand-Sized Minigun
Thaddeus Valentine's personal weapon is an automatic pistol, described as a "hand-sized minigun." He used it to kill Magnus Crome (Patrick Malahide) when the Lord Mayor tried to confront him. Valentine then used it again when faced with Anna Fang, severely wounding her in the process.
London Police's Automatic Gun
The London police force uses a fictional automatic weapon with a built-in laser designator to try to stop Hester Shaw (Hera Hilmar) from entering St. Paul's Cathedral. Curiously, the concept art from Weta Workshop claimed that this weapon fires some kind of electrolaser, presumably to incapacitate targets rather than lethally harm them. But in the proper film, the weapon seems to fire a ballistic round instead.
London Soldier's Machine Gun
When MEDUSA failed to destroy Shan Guo's wall, Valentine resorted to having his soldiers eliminate everyone in the London control room with a steampunk machine gun. The weapon has a drum magazine and a large barrel with a vented shroud.
Shan Guo's Machine Gun
Some of Shan Guo's soldiers wield fictional machine guns as the London survivors arrive from the wreck in the last part of the film. The weapon seems to have an overhead-loading magazine similar to the Madsen and the Bren Mk. I.
Other Weapons
Many vehicles and constructs have a wide variety of weapons.
Airship's Weapons
Heavy Weapons
Concept Arts
Some concept Arts of the Weapons by Weta Workshop includes many prototypes and early designs of many weapons shown in the film. These include Anna Fang's weapons and many Londoners' firearms.
