For anyone interested in building replicas of the Comedian's 1911's, I came across this the other day:
http://www.dlsports.com/signature_firearms_1911.html
Scroll way down the page to the "Professional Model - Six Inch Longslide" section and they've got a photo of the movie version pistols.

(I only noticed the "Gun designed by Dave Lauck of DandL Sports, Inc." on the DC Direct product page after I had found the page the hard way :rolleyes)
Might make it easier to accurize an airsoft 1911 with the different angles on their site.


Although the references are pretty limited at the moment (the ones I've found at least) I thought I'd see if anyone else could help ID some of the other weapons on his hidden wall:


More photos here

To me it looks like there might be a M60, M79, M203, not sure about the revolver or the other 1911, the pump could be a Remington, and an MP5 SD6.
Not too sure about the rest, on the far right in the above pic it looks like one of the smaller M16 variants (XM177?) but I'm not sure. It's been a while since I've done any ID'ing of firearms so I could be a bit off.
 
Cool, So D&L wrangled the 1911s for the films production? Sweet. I know thats a Surefire X-250 or X-300 tac light. they are an odd configuration with the rail but no Ambi safety.

To the left of Rorshach, along the doorframe, the machine gun is NOT an M-60- it looks like it might be a German (MG44?) or Russian type, but I can rule out the M-60, as I've fired one enough to know it's NOT that. The rear stock is just wrong for it.

I agree there seems to be an M-203 tube there to the right, and I think that's a silencer next to it, but the one closest to Rorshach I'm not familiar with. It's odd, but I'm not seeing any AR15 or M16's to mount the '203 to. Seems he'd want a frame to mount that thumper onto. However, it would seem from the screen cap that there's items to either side that we just don't get a view of, maybe its off further to one side where we can't see it.

To the lower right, I at first thought it was a police gas gun (38mm gas grenade launcher), but it looks like theres a 9mm banana clip coming off of it, so the heavy barrel makes no sense. To the far right of that trio, it looks like maybe a Ruger .223 customization. The middle rifle may be a 9mm carbine- and I'm only saying that because it reminds me of one my brother in law had, so don't take it as gospel, lol.

Same side, and at the top, theres a "combat customized" shotgun, likely a 12 ga., that looks like several Mossberg versions I've seen for sale, but there's a Remington model that's also very popular for this type of conversion. Do a search on the Mossberg 500 12ga. as a tactical weapon for examples galore.

I'm NOT a weapons expert, but the ones I recognize are all weapons I've used, and I'm going from the best my memory can dredge up. Almost everything looks to have been modified, so figuring out a base model of anything is going to real tricky, unless you have more source material- like an interview where the guy reads off a list of what they used or something- good luck getting THAT, lol

It's not even a machine gun. It's some type of rifle.

Looks to me like an MP5 or something of that variety with a ridiculously large suppressor. Next to it seems to be a Ruger Mini 14 followed by an AR of some kind.

Of coarse, that's what it looks like to me anyway...
 
Ok starting on the left from the top. Green gun (i think it's an airgun)has a Nightforce scope with Badger Max rings. The scope to the left of it looks like a Trijicon Accuscope or a Leupold w/illuminated recticle. Not sure of the gun in the middle, looks like an M60 stock on something else. The gun below it is an M79 grenade launcher, below it are Ar15 mags. On the right side, the shotun looks like a Mossberg with a Knox cop stock on it. Below it looks like a Cobra fake suppressor (left), A silencer with a ratchet attachment (middle), M203 or Cobray 40mm launcher (right). The gun rack to the right has (from left to right) an MP5SD, an HK93A3, and what looks like a Berretta Storm. Not sure about any of the pistols.
 
The weapon partially hidden on the left behind the door frame is an M60...

Look at the comparison pic I placed next to it, you can see it's the same except the bipod is folded under...
