Iron Man 2 is the 2010 sequel to Iron Man.

This film also is part of "Phase One" of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that includes The Incredible Hulk, Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger and culiminated in 2012's The Avengers. A third Iron Man film was released in 2013.

The following weapons were used in the film Iron Man 2:

Handguns

Claridge Hi-Tec

When he is asked by Lt. Col. Rhodes (Don Cheadle) to weaponize the Mark II Iron Man suit to make it into the "War Machine," Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell) presents several weapons to pick from. The first of the weapons Hammer suggests attaching to the suit is a Claridge Hi-Tec semi-automatic pistol.

Hammer holds up the Claridge. After a blank response, he suggests it might be "too downtown" for Rhodes' taste.

Glock 17

Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) is seen carrying what appears to be a Glock 17 in a shoulder holster when speaking with Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) at his home. The Glock 17 was the standard sidearm of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents before being replaced by the newer Smith & Wesson M&P.

Note that the Glock appears to be a rubber prop.

Heckler & Koch USP Compact

S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) takes a H&K USP Compact off a Hammer guard which she wields along with a Walther PPK/S during the raid on Hammer Industries.

Submachine Guns

CRS Riot Police are armed with the Heckler & Koch MP5A2 when they arrest Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke).

Kimel AP-9

A nickel Kimel AP-9 is also seen among the weapons Hammer displays for Rhodes. The AP-9 in the scene appears to be the same one that was originally used in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, as it features the same satin nickel finish and muzzle brake (originally a nickel Ruger Mini-14 brake) from the earlier film.

A closeup of the Kimel AP-9. In these shots, the gun has a stainless steel finish - note that it has also been customized with a nickel Ruger Mini-14 muzzle brake, suggesting that it is the same AP-9 that was previously used in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.

Rifles

FN F2000 Tactical

The FN F2000 Tactical assault rifle equipped with a Trijicon ACOG is also mounted on War Machine. Referred to as the "FN 2000" by Hammer (Sam Rockwell) when seen showing it off to Rhodes.

Hammer racks the FN 2000. Note the ACOG which is fitted with a killflash anti-reflection device and what appears to be some kind of a micro red dot on top.

M4A1 Carbine

Carried by US Air Force Security Forces airmen with flashlights, foregrips, and Aimpoint sights, most notably when Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes arrives at the base half-way through the film.

An Air Force security member is seen on guard in front of a B2 Spirit bomber armed with an M4A1 Carbine. One interesting point of trivia is that this man's radar signature is larger than that of the bomber behind him.

Several other Air Force personnel are seen armed with M4A1 Carbines as they look at the Mark II Iron Man suit that Colonel Rhodes took from Tony Stark.

Mounted Weapons and Launchers

GE M134 Minigun

One of the main weapons Hammer displays is the M134 Minigun. Hammer says that the boys in uniform refer to it as "Uncle Gazpacho" or "Puff the Magic Dragon" when showing it to Rhodes. Even though he correctly identifies it as a 7.62mm, "Puff the Magic Dragon" was actually the nickname given to the AC-47 gunships that carried miniguns during the Vietnam War. He is also seen picking it up with ease even though the gun weighs approximately 60 lbs with all components, suggesting the weapon he picks up is a prop replica of some sort.

General Dynamics GAU-17/A

The "War Machine" has a machine gun resembling a GAU-17/A mounted on its right shoulder, although it appears much smaller than its real life counterpart.

War Machine with its Minigun is displayed at the Stark Expo.

Another shot of the same scene. Note the shrunken GAU-17/A which is explained by the fact that the suits and presumably the rotary gun itself are CGI.

War Machine fires the GAU-17/A at Iron Man in the film's climax.

War Machine fires the GAU-17/A in the final battle with the Hammer Drones. In this scene, the GAU-17/A appears to have been modified with its own independent targeting system, since Rhodes is firing in one direction while the GAU-17/A fires in the opposite direction.

M26 MASS (Modular Accessory Shotgun System)

The M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System in standalone configuration is also one of the weapons on War Machine, referred to (incorrectly) as an "M24 Shotgun" by Hammer (Sam Rockwell). He also incorrectly describes the shotgun as a pump-action when in reality, it is a straight pull bolt-action.

Milkor MGL Mk 1L

The Milkor MGL Mk 1L is also one of the weapons Hammer presents to Rhodes. While it is not readily evident where it is mounted on War Machine, it is seen mounted on the right arm of Hammer's Army drone.

Hammer Drone Weaponry

Hammer presents his drone samples to the world at the Stark Expo. Four types of drones are displayed, one for each branch of the US Military with its own distinctive weaponry.

Army Drone (M242 Bushmaster chaingun and Milkor MGL)

In addition to the Milkor MGL mounted on to the right arm, the Army version of the Hammer drone is seen armed with a large single barrel cannon, which according to director Jon Favreau's audio commentary, is based off the 25mm M242 Bushmaster chaingun. However during the Extended Cut of the film, the close up of the Army version of Hammer drone labels the cannon as a "Shoulder Mounted .50 Caliber Machine gun" but does not list which model of machine gun. This could be an error or miscommunication between the Director and video editors, or perhaps the gun is a .50 Caliber machine gun modeled after M242 Bushmaster. (Which makes sense because the Real life M242 is considerably larger than what the film uses.) In the film the shoulder mounted cannon behaves more like the M242 bushmaster and even ejects large spent cartridges.

The Army Drone in the middle prepares to fire the Milkor mounted on its right arm.

A close up feature during the extended cut of the film confirms that the Army drone has a Milkor MGL equipped in its right arm. Also note the markings on the arm, which state that this drone belongs to the 172nd Infantry Brigade.

Navy Drone (FIM-92 Stinger)

In the extended cut of the film, a close up of the Navy drone reveals that the shoulder mounted missile launchers are FIM-92 Stingers. Each shoulder pod carries 6 missiles in addition to 3 missile mounted in a pod on each arm totalling 18 Stinger missiles. With an armament like that, the Navy Drone is a formidable air defence platform.

Navy Drones fire their missile launchers in the final battle at Stark Expo.

Air Force Drone

The Air Force Drone is armed with wrist mounted cannons and a shoulder mounted machine gun.

The Air Force Drone fires its wrist mounted cannons at a Stark Expo sign that got in its way while it was flying after Iron Man.

The other Air Force Drones are seen firing their shoulder mounted cannons at Iron Man during the aerial chase in the film's climax.
