Specifically, the types of firearms used by the armorers to represent the weapons for the Confed Marines. The C-244, Hunter's pistol, appears to be a Beretta M92 with dress kit on it. I guess it could also be an M93R, but the Confed manual pictures suggest that they would have had to cut the barrel down to fit the kit. The grips are not the same as a standard M92, but those are easily changed, and they seem a little thick, and we never see it fired so it could just be a rubber prop gun whose mold master was cobbled together from spare parts.
The C-47 assault rifle is the tougher one. I sent some pictures away to a custom Airsoft manufacturer, to see if I could get one made for games, and he said it looked like they used an AK-47 for the base and an FAMAS magazine, but I don't think an AK-47 will accept an FAMAS magazine. Looking closer at the pictures, though, the magazine looks to be a complete dress kit. Also, from what little I can see of the grip, trigger guard, and trigger, it looks like they may have used an MP-5 for the basis and just piled on the dress kit pieces. I'm pretty sure there is a genuine firearm as it's basis, because the muzzle flashes in the movie don't really behave like the ones you get from an acetylene gun.
I want to get this information together because I want to put together a page for the movie on The Internet Movie Firearms Database, so if anyone knows what the film's armorers used and has some good quality pictures, I can throw the page together and give the movie just a little bit more exposure.
