__TOC__
=Handguns=
== Heckler & Koch USP Match ==
Lara Croft (Angelina Jolie) once again carries as her main sidearms twin Heckler & Koch USP Match pistols in hip holsters. Unlike the original film, the entire pistol(s) has a custom platinum finish. In some behind the scene videos, Angelina Jolie indicated that her left-side USP is customized with the slide release latch on the opposite side.
== Heckler & Koch P11 ==
A Heckler & Koch P11 underwater gun is used by Lara Croft (Angelina Jolie) during the temple scene. From looking at the shots, they either had more than one of these or they only had her fired it once, or never fired it and digitally made the rounds fly out because the close up of the front of it firing shows she was firing the first shot from the weapon despite the fact she fired 2 times before. Two P11's were utilized, however, neither were real weapons. A resin hero stunt was used when the holstered gun was removed and placed on the waters edge along with the speargun. When in and under the water, a SFX P11 was used which had cables and air lines running out of the base of the butt which connected to a SFX box of tricks which appeared to ignite the sealed barrel chambers which, on a real gun, would be sealed with resin which the caseless round or sabot would break through. When the prop was fired, air was blown through a single central hole in each of the chambers which combined with colored lights mounted on the air lines gave the convincing illusion of a sealed round discharging (sorry R.H.). Both the P11 and Lara's speargun had an identical grip and trigger guard assembly which did not appear on the real P11.
The movie prop is significantly smaller than the real deal, which is an exceptionally bulky handgun. The sleeker size and two tone coloring has been carried over to many future media appearances, seemingly based on this prop instead of the secretive original.
== Heckler & Koch USP Compact ==
In addition to his SIG, Reiss's right-hand man Sean (Til Schweiger) pulls a Heckler & Koch USP Compact to dual-wield during the lab shootout. Xien (Terence Yin) is seen with a two-tone H&K USP Compact during the Shanghai shootout.
== Browning BDA ==
