the following firearms were used in the shooting of 28 Days later.

L85A2

L85A2 w.SUSAT X4 scope 5.56X45 NATO

The SA 80, very different to the current L85A2

L85A2

This is to set records straight. Everytime I see a site saying that a character is using the SA - 80 and it looks like the image below, they are wrong. For starters the SA-80 was a failed attempt at creating a bullpup rifle for the british in the 1980's (S)mall (A)rms for 19(80). It was suppose to fire an experimental 4.85X49 cartridge however after much testing the cartridge and the weapon failed testing and were complained heavily by the users. So the first L85 model, L85A1 was created. Much like the first M16 used in Vietnam, reports came back that it had a lot of problems. So, the firearm company HK bought the designs in an effort to fix existing problems, (this is because of the success of the M4 conversions, the HK416 is an improved version of the M4, better in every way) so they put in the HK G36's patented gas piston ejection system, and since the modifications, the weapon has turned out to be a very good service rifle.

Browning HP

This pistol was used by the officer in charge who shot the main character it the gut while in the car.

The fact he only got him in the gut with such an accurate pistol at nearly point blank range is beyond me.

A Soldier with the Browning HP

This pistol was one of the first dual stacked high capacity pistols ever to hit the market. However because they were created so long ago they suffer 'from low reliablity and need frequent cleaning to maintain their high level of 'accuracy.

Browning HP 9X19

L7A2 GPMG (General Purpose Machine Gun)

L7A2 7.62X45 NATO

This is weapon is seen monted on the jeeps, and fired when the infected come running at the base and when the guy in charge and a fellow soldier fo off looking the main character

A locked and loaded L7A2

The following melee weapons were used in 28 Day Later

Riot Shield

Father (Frank) was first seen at the the staircase on the floor of his appartment with a homemade riot shield made of plastic and strap. He uses it to pushback two or three zombies that run up the staircase following the Main Character and his female companion.

A riot shield. this differs from Franks model but you know what a riot shield looks like

Baton

Frank is also seen using a nightstick or police baton to bash the zombies that run up the stair case.

To complement the police riot weaponry, Frank also uses a butchers apron and a riot police helmet.

Riot police. Frank uses the gloves, helmet, shield and baton. instead of using a bullet proof vest he wears a butchers apron

Machete

The female companion is first seeing using a machete as her main weapon. She uses it to butcher zombies in the first few scenes and her first male companion after he gets infected through a wound.

This obviously isn't the one she uses, but all machetes look similar

Bayonet/Combat knife

The first male companion used a combat knife, however he only uses it once, after that he became infected and was butchered by the female.

The knife was similar to this, and stabs a zombie

Other

Landmines

Landmines were used to defend the British Army's compund. As stated, if a zombie were to come, they'd know.

Molotov Cocktails

After the female and her first companion see the make in the hospital gown, they use molotov cocktails against incoming zombies
