The Purge (2013)
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Purge is a 2013 horror/thriller set in a near future United States where the government has granted one 12 hour period during the year where all crimes are legal. Ethan Hawke stars in the film as James Sandin, a security systems salesman whose family is put in danger when their home is threatened by those participating in the Purge. The film would spawn a media franchise which includes 2014's The Purge: Anarchy and 2016's The Purge: Election Year and 2021's The Forever Purge in addition to the 2018 prequel The First Purge and a 2018 television series that premiered on the USA Network.
The following weapons were used in the film The Purge:

After giving his Raging Bull to his son, James Sandin (Ethan Hawke) switches his sidearm to a Kimber Warrior.

Taurus PT92AFS
When the Purgers break into the house, Mary arms herself with a stainless Taurus PT92AFS.
Beretta 92FS Inox
The "Polite Leader" (Rhys Wakefield) uses a Beretta 92FS Inox to kill one of his goons.
Desert Eagle Mark XIX
One of the Purgers also carries a chrome Desert Eagle Mark XIX.
Glock 19
A Purger uses a 2nd Generation Glock 19 in an attempt to kill James.
Taurus PT945
Some of the neighbors use Taurus PT945 handguns.
Smith & Wesson M&P40
Footage shows (possibly) a Phoenix Police Department officer firing a Smith & Wesson M&P40 at a Purger during the 2022 Purge. Given in-universe, police departments are suspended during the Purge, it is unknown the exact context of the situation. In actuality, the footage is of the 2011 Detroit Police Department shootout committed by Lamar Moore. At the time of the shooting, the Detroit Police Department had been re-issued the Smith & Wesson M&P40.
Beretta 92FS
Purge Footage shows a Purger firing a Beretta 92FS during the 2017 Purge in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. In actuality, it is stock footage of Korean store owners during the 1992 Los Angeles Riots.
Walther PP
Purge footage of the 2017 Purge in Sioux Falls, South Dakota shows a Purger firing what appears to be a Walther PP.
Glock 17
The Purger in Sioux Falls is also seen holding a Glock 17. While barely visible in the film, the full footage shows that the man is indeed carrying a Glock.
Intratec TEC-DC9
In the "Behind the Scenes" footage, a Purger is seen with an Intratec TEC-DC9.
Shotguns
Mossberg 590 Chainsaw
James keeps a Mossberg 590 Chainsaw in his safe as well. He later uses it to kill the Purgers who broke into his house.
Ithaca 37
Mr. Cali (Tom Yi) uses an Ithaca 37 with an extended magazine tube. Mary later confiscates it.
Mossberg 500 Mariner Cruiser
The "Polite Stranger" (Rhys Wakefield) also uses a Mossberg 500 Mariner Cruiser.
Mossberg 500
Purge Footage shows a Purger armed with a Mossberg 500 engaging in a shootout with off-duty Phoenix Police Department officers. In actuality, the footage is of Lamar Moore's shootout with the Detroit Police Department in 2011. He had used a 20 gauge Mossberg 500.
Franchi SPAS-12
In the "Behind the Scenes" footage, a Purger is seen with a SPAS-12 shotgun sans folding stock.
Sub Machine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5K
One of the Purgers uses a Heckler & Koch MP5K.
Rifles
Colt M16A2
Cooper (One of the Purgers) uses a Colt M16A2.
Diemaco C7 LSW
A Purger is seen with a Diemaco C7 LSW. Another Purger is seen with one in "Behind the Scenes" footage.
IMBEL MD-97 LC
One of the neighbors uses what appears to be an IMBEL MD-97 LC; since the film is set in the United States it might be the similar SAR4800 (A semiautomatic 5.56 FAL clone manufactured by IMBEL and imported by Springfield Armory). Purge footage in the intro shows a man firing an assault rifle. While it is barely visible, it is possible that the actor is just re-using the rifle, as it does not match the features of the other rifles seen in the film.
