The Book of Eli

__TOC__
=Handguns=
==Heckler & Koch HK45==
Eli (Denzel Washington) carries a weathered Heckler & Koch HK45 pistol (an LEM variant as noted by the bobbed hammer and lack of external safety) as his sidearm throughout the film. In true movie fashion, Eli fires about twice as many rounds as the pistol can hold before reloading.
Trivia: Even though the pistol had only been out a year when the film was made, the brand new HK45 was sanded and worn down to look very old (as this film takes place around 3 decades in the future, so it will look like an antique vintage firearm) for the film. The actual pistol is currently on display at the National Firearms Museum located at the NRA headquarters in Fairfax, Virginia.

==Colt New Service==
What appears to be a Colt New Service revolver is seen at the beginning of the film, lying on the ground, unloaded, in the middle of the woods. It is never held or fired, however.

==Remington 870 "Witness Protection"==
Eli (Denzel Washington) carries a short-barreled Remington 870 "Witness Protection" shotgun with various weathering and a heavily taped handle. At the end of the film, Solara (Mila Kunis) can be seen with the shotgun as she "inherits" it from Eli.

=Rifles / Carbines=
==AK-47==

==FN FAL==

==Colt M4A1 Carbine==
George uses an M4A1 Carbine fitted with a vertical foregrip and Aimpoint sight during the assault on his house. The guards at Alcatraz also use M4A1s fitted with C-More red-dot sights.
==M16A2==
Some of Carnegie's men wield M16A2 rifles several times in the film.
==M1903 Springfield (Mannlicher Schönauer Carbine stock)==
When Eli is walking through the town the camera pans on a man on a roof with a bolt-action rifle. This rifle is a sporterized M1903 Springfield with a Lyman peep sight and fitted into a Mannlicher Schönauer Carbine (Stutzen) stock. The military stock had been replaced, as well as the sights, and likely the parkerized finish was replaced with a blued finish. This was common practice at a time when surplus military rifles were cheaper than sporting rifles. It is the same prop featured in the film A Boy and His Dog, noting the heavy stylistic and atmospheric homage already paid, as well as featuring a poster of the film.
