== AK-47/AKM/AKMS ==

One of the most frequently-seen weapons in the film, numerous versions of the [[AK-47]] and the newer [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]] appear constantly. The weapon's simplicity and near-indestructibility are highly praised by Yuri during the movie in one memorable scene where he examines an AK while detailing its features and history in modern war. The film starts out following the journey of an AK-47 7.62x39mm round from a munitions factory in Russia to its final destination in an African country, where it is fired at and kills a child soldier.

As in many Hollywood movies, one of the most common AK derivatives seen in the film is the [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Norinco Type 56-1]], the Chinese copy of the [[AK-47#AKMS|AKMS]], with its distinctive hooded front sight. In fact, AKs of this type are seen being used by the ex-USSR soldiers in Ukraine during the early-1990s (which is highly inaccurate, because Soviet troops would never use Chinese-made weapons, and the 7.62x39mm AKs had been phased out of Russian service at the time of the scene, anyway). Several early-1950s Type III [[AK-47|AK-47s]] (which are true "AK-47s", as opposed to AKMs) also appear - this is the type which Yuri Orlov ([[Nicolas Cage]]) is seen playing with during his infamous narrative speech describing the versatility and popularity of the Kalashnikov. Most of rifles in this scene are [[Czech_VZ58_Assault_Rifle|Czech SA 58s]] only acting as AK47-s.

This particular Chinese Type 56 has the ribbed top cover of an Russian (or licensed third party) AKM - the Chinese AKs have smooth top covers. ]]

== André Baptiste, Jr.'s custom AK ==

The gold-plated [[AK-47]]/[[AK-47#AKM|AKM]] derivative carried by André Baptiste, Jr. ([[Sammi Rotibi]]) is not, as has been written previously, an "AKS-47U" or "AKMSU" or any such factory-manufactured weapon. It is a custom-made Kalashnikov that was built specially for the movie. Martin Edge, an armorer at Hire Weapons, which supplied the guns for all scenes filmed in South Africa, has sent IMFDB an e-mail with the following details:

''"The weapon started out as a Saiga hunting rifle with synthetic stock and furniture...Here are the rest of the details:''

''-The folding stock is, as you mentioned from East Germany, this was purchased in East Germany at an arms fair and fitted to the weapon ''
''-The top cover is held on by means of a S.M.L.E. rear top cover spring clip ''
''-A pistol grip was installed and the trigger moved forward, the trigger guard is from a Vector R4 ''
''-The barrel and gas tube were shortened and the front sight is fitted to the barrel by means a flat on the barrel and a key on the front sight, the hand guard is held in position by the flash hider ''
''-The Muzzle brake/flash hider was turned down from a piece of bar ''

''The weapon was originally supplied to the production with the black synthetic furniture, but was rejected in favour of the wooden furniture. The weapon was actually built by Bruce Wenztel, the owner of Hire Arms, which is Johannesburg based movie weapons props house in South Africa. I was not one of the armourers on the movie as I was not working for the company that the time of the production. The armourer was Lance Peters who handled the weapons on set on the companies behalf. Hire Arms imported some weapons and supplied the others. I spend most of my time building specialised weapons for future productions and spend very little time on set. The company has 400 feature movies under its belt and seems to be going from strength to strength. I am attaching various other pictures, please feel free to upload as you like.''

''You also mention the magazine in your copy, and it is an early type and was chosen because of its surface area for ease of plating. Brass plating was suggested as an alternative to gold but was rejected by the production in favour of 18crt gold plating, which cost a small fortune."''

As mentioned in Martin's e-mail, he sent us a number of photos of the gold-plated AK. IMFDB is extremely grateful to him for this exclusive info!

== Micro Uzi ==

Yuri's very first arms sale is a batch of [[Uzi#Micro Uzi|Micro Uzi]] machine pistols, which are sold to local Russian mobsters (inaccurately, the scene takes place in 1982 - the Micro Uzi was not introduced until 1983).

[[Image:Vlcsnap-180687.jpg|thumb|none|500px|One of the mobsters points a [[Uzi#Micro Uzi|Micro Uzi]] at Yuri.]]

== M16A2 ==

In one of Yuri's first major sales, he procures hundreds of surplus [[M16 rifle series#M16A2|M16A2]] rifles left in Lebanon by America peace keepers, which he sells to the leader of a Lebanese Maronite militia (probably the real-life Phalange) in a joint deal with a corrupt American military officer named Lt. Colonel Southern (a reference to Lt. Colonel Oliver North, who in real life helped sell American-made weaponry "under the table" to proxy forces).

Note: Many M16's are marked AR-15 like this one. You can see under AR-15A2 "Property of U.S. Govt - M16A2". This is common among military rifles.

And there is another one on the furthest from the camera carrying an M16A2.]]‎

== Colt Model 653 ==

During the Berlin Arms Fair scenes, several female models can be seen posing with [[M16 rifle series# Colt Carbine/Model 653/Model 733|Colt Model 653s]].

[[Image:ColtM653.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Colt Model 653 - 5.56mm]]

[[Image:Vlcsnap-182121.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|A close-up of one of the Colt Models 653s lying on the floor (next to the uniforms worn by the models).]]

== Uzi ==

In one scene, Yuri and Vitaly sell full-size [[Uzi]] submachine guns to Somali Islamic resistance fighters (one of them tests the weapon by firing it at a cardboard cutout of Ronald Reagan). Yuri notes the irony of this transaction: "I sold Israeli-made Uzis to Muslims."

[[Image:Uzi.jpg|thumb|none|350px|IMI Uzi 9mm]]
[[Image:Vlcsnap-183510.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|A Somali gunman test-fires an [[Uzi]] (missing its stock for some reason).]]

==Glock 17 ==

In one part of the film, Yuri sells four [[Glock 17]] pistols to a Colombian narco-guerilla (possibly a member of FARC),along with a large shipment of other weapons. When a dispute arises regarding payment for the weapons (the drug lord wants to give him cocaine instead of money), Yuri ends up getting shot with one of the pistols, violating the most important of his three rules; "Don't get shot with your own merchandise".

A notable mistake is that two of the Glock-17s in this scene (including the one used by the drug lord to shoot Yuri) are clearly 3rd Generation models (they have frame rails for mounting accessories, plus thumb reliefs and finger grooves in the grip), which were introduced in the late-1990s, but the scene takes place in the late-1980s. The other two Glocks are both 2nd Generation models, which would have been correct for the time period.

[[Image:Glock17EarlyModel.jpg|thumb|none|300px|2nd Generation Glock 17 9mm]]
[[Image:Glock173rdGen.jpg|thumb|none|300px|3rd Generation Glock 17 9mm]]

Strictly speaking, 2nd Gen Glocks in 1989 should still have the field grey type finish, but that's just hair-splitting.

== Smith & Wesson Model 686 ==

While Yuri is negotiating with André Baptiste Sr. ([[Eamonn Walker]]), the warlord uses a [[Smith & Wesson Model 686]] to kill one of the men in the room, after which Yuri comments that he'll have to purchase the weapon having used it. Later on, André captures Yuri's primary gun-running competitor, Simeon Weisz ([[Ian Holm]]) as a "present" for Yuri and gives him the opportunity to kill him using the revolver. When Yuri is reluctant to do the deed himself, the warlord puts the gun in Yuri's hand and presses Yuri's finger on the trigger until the gun fires, killing Weisz.

[[Image:LoWS&W686-1.JPG|thumb|none|500px|André Baptiste Sr. forces Yuri Orlov to kill Simeon Weisz with the Smith & Wesson 686 Yuri had sold him earlier in the movie.]]

== M60 Machine Gun ==

While doing buisness with André Baptiste, André Baptiste Jr. requests that Yuri get him what he calls "the gun of Rambo", an [[M60 machine gun]]. Upon receiving it, he is seen firing the gun at random civilians while driving in the truck to do business with the R.U.F. in Sierra Leone.

An M60 is also seen on the Coast Guard launch when Jack Valentine is about to board the Kristol/Kono.

[[Image:Vlcsnap-211124.jpg|thumb|none|500px|André Baptiste Jr. fires the M60 with sadistic glee at civilians in Sierra Leone.]]

== Heckler & Koch MP5A2/A3 ==

Throughout the movie, the Interpol agents are brandishing [[H&K MP5|Heckler & Koch MP5]] submachine guns, both the MP5A2 and MP5A3 (they might be A4s and A5s, but it is difficult to see whether or not they have the 4-position trigger groups or not). In one scene where Interpol agents confront Yuri as he is about to ship an Mi-24 attack helicopter to Burkina Faso, one of the agents shoves an MP5 in his face threateningly. He coolly replies, "Oh, a new MP5...would you like a silencer for that?"

== Heckler & Koch MP5K ==

Interpol agent Jack Valentine ([[Ethan Hawke]]) carries a [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5K|Heckler & Koch MP5K]] with a 15-round magazine.

[[Image:Vlcsnap-191772.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Agent Valentine sticks his MP5K in Yuri's face.]]

== RPG-7 ==

Another frequently-seen weapon in the film is the [[RPG-7]] rocket launcher. In one scene, Yuri gives away a whole plane full of weapons, including RPGs, to peasants to avoid being caught with them by Interpol agents.

[[Image:Rpg-7-1-.jpg‎ |thumb|none|450px|RPG-7 40mm]]
[[Image:Vlcsnap-199860.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Yuri hands out [[RPG-7|RPG-7s]] to civilians as he attempts to get rid of all evidence before Interpol catches him.]]

== Beretta 92FS ==

Yuri's brother Vitaly Orlov ([[Jared Leto]]) carries a [[Beretta 92FS]] pistol throughout the movie. During the altercation with the narco-guerilla in Colombia, he pulls this weapon to defend his brother.

[[Image:BerettaM92FS.jpg|thumb|300px|none|Beretta 92FS 9mm]]
[[Image:Vlcsnap-188608.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Vitaly Orlov pulls a Beretta 92FS in Colombia.]]

== Karabiner 98k ==

A [[Karabiner 98k]] bolt-action rifle can be seen in the hands of an Afghan Mudjahideen rebel during the montage where Yuri describes the growth of his business.

[[Image:Karabiner-98K.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|Karabiner 98K - 7.92x57mm]]

:The straight bolt doesn't match the stock. That indent in the stock is so you can easily grab the turned bolt, but the bolt is straight. This could indicate the rifle is a mockup of several Mauser carbine variants. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

== RGD-5 Hand Grenade ==

Near the end of the film, Vitaly uses [[RGD-5 hand grenade]]s to try to destroy the weapons his brother is selling to the R.U.F. in exchange for conflict diamonds, but only manages to destroy one truck (containing half the weapons) before he's shot multiple times by rebel gunmen. He falls close to the second truckload of weapons and tries to pull the pin out of a second grenade as he lies dying, but he is stopped by Yuri, who puts the pin back into the grenade. Vitaly then expires.

Rambo III

2009-02-23T07:34:04Z

Bboy41: /* Fake MIL Mi-24 Hind */

[[Image:Rambo3Poster.jpg|thumb|right|300px|]]
'''Rambo III''' (1988) is an unusual movie in that it's production was halted about two thirds into the shooting schedule of the film. Rambo III was scheduled to film entirely in Israel (and Thailand for the first part of the film), and many scenes were filmed in ''Eilat'' (the southern most tip of Israel between Jordan and Egypt), using Israeli armorers. However, the spectacle of a major American movie being filmed in the middle east created a lot of concern about terrorist attacks (to disrupt the production and 'send a message of the U.S.'). Before production could be completed, it is said that Israel revoked the production's permission to remain in the country (the rumored reason being security concerns and threats made to the American film crew). Not wishing for a multi million dollar film to be scrapped, then California State Senator Pete Wilson (R) (a big proponent of the film industry in California and later Governor of the state), helped the production relocate back to Southern California and Arizona. The remaining shots were completed (including many insert shots) using the same talent, but utilizing areas around the American Western Desert, most notable Yuma, AZ for the final battle and Lone Pine, CA for 2nd unit photography. The sudden change from 'accurate Soviet weaponry' (provided by the Israeli armorers) to the typical 'faux' weaponry seen in many American movies, is explained by this sudden relocation back to the U.S.A. Thus we see mocked up Browning M2 .50 cal Machine guns instead of real Soviet DShK 12.7mm MGs, etc. Stembridge Gun Rentals took over the final shoot (back in the states).

Most notably, the armored vehicles at the final battle changed from the authentic and original Soviet armored vehicles from the middle of the film, to the modified American tanks. These were provided by Veluzat Armored Vehicles out of Newhall, California. Only aficionados of tanks would notice the change.

'''The weapons used in this movie are:'''

==Assault Rifles==

===AK-47===
Seen carried by the Mujahideen and by Armed tribal members in Peshawar, Pakistan. The ones in the early parts of the film are authentic AK-47s (the real deal). These were all captured enemy arms, taken during the many wars between Israel and their neighbor nations. Israeli movie armorers have access to tons of authentic captured Soviet weaponry over the years, and any film shot in Israel would have real Soviet guns.
[[Image:Rambo3-AK47.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Tribal member in Peshawar holds an AK-47 - 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:Rambo3-AK47a.jpg‎ ‎|thumb|none|500px|Mujahideen fighters hold a council with Rambo, many holding AK-47s. These are Israeli movie guns, evident by the extra long screw on blank adapters on the end of the barrels. American Armorers usually have drop in BFAs or thread the interior of their barrels and use a hex nut as the blank adapter, but the Israelis don't. This is the case for every movie filmed in Israel that has AK-47s and is a good visual indicator where a scene was filmed.]]
[[Image:Rambo3-AK47 04a.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Another good shot of the AK-47s with the extended screw on blank adapters. These are noticeably thinner than any of the military screw on blank adapters and are a different shape than any military BFA issued for the AK or any of it's variants.]]

===AKS-47===
Seen briefly, some of the Soviet Soldiers carry the milled receiver AKS-47 underfolder rifle, the predecessor to the underfolder AKMS rifle. Since this sequence was filmed in Israel, one can assume these are authentic Russian AK-47 Milled receiver weapons.
[[Image:Rambo3-AK47S RussianA.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Soviet soldiers make their rounds carrying the AKS-47 underfolder assault rifles - 7.62x39mm]]

===AKM===
Full Stock AKMs are used by the Mujahideen and the Russians. Rambo and Col. Trautman also use the AKM rifle on numerous occasions throughout the film. The ones used while filming in Israel are real Soviet AKM rifles. The ones used while filming in the United States were Maadi ARM rifles (the American imported versions of the MISR).

He is wearing the 'faux' copy of the KLMK pattern camo suit made for the movie ''[[Red Dawn]]'' and is wearing the plastic Soviet style helmet shell used by OPFOR (U.S. Military training units) - 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:RamboIIIAK-47.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Rambo with an AKM in the base. What appears to be a continuity error is actually an error by the editor. Rambo discards the AMD-65 he is originally using and picks up an AKM from a dead Russian soldier, but the action was cut down to a reaction shot where the AKM just 'appears' in his hands. This continuity issue was actually discussed by the armorers on the film. ]]

===AKMS===
Carried by Mujahideen, the Russians and Rambo.
[[Image:AKMS.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AKMS, stamped steel receiver w/ slant muzzle brake and under-folding stock - 7.62x39mm]]

Again a weapons change that some thought was a continuity error, it actually isn't. Rambo enters the tunnel with a full stocked AKM, however he discards it along the way and takes Mousa's folding stock AKMS.]]

===Type 56 Assault Rifle===
When filming shifted to the U.S., the Chinese Type 56 (the military name of the imported Norinco AKS-47 Chinese rifles) were used in place of the AK-47s. Historically this is accurate anyway, since China supplied many Type 56 rifles to the Mujahideen fighters (by way of Pakistan) during the 1980s.

[[Image:Rambo3-Type56FireA.jpg‎‎|thumb|500px|none|Mousa ([[Sasson Gabai]]) fires his Type 56 rifle to save Rambo from a charging Russian soldier - 7.62x39mm]]

===AMD 65===
Colonel Trautman ([[Richard Crenna]]) and Rambo are seen with a Hungarian AMD-65 rifle. The traditional muzzle brake of the AMD-65 was replaced with an Israeli Blank fire adapter (also seen on the other AK variants). The same AMD-65 type rifles were also wielded by Russian Tankers (ironically, wearing the same 'faux' Soviet winter tanker uniforms made for the film "Red Dawn".)
[[Image:AMD65Short.jpg‎ |thumb|500px|none|Hungarian AMD-65 as seen in the film. This one has an American copy of an Israeli blank fire adapter (which is slightly longer and thinner than most commonly seen external BFAs. This is the version seen in the movie.)]]

[[Image:Rambo3-AMDTankersA.jpg‎ |thumb|500px|none|Soviet tanker crews getting mowed down by Rambo, all wielding AMD-65s with the Israeli BFAs - 7.62x39mm]]

===Fake AKS-74===
AKS-74 rifles were mocked up from '''AKMS underfolder rifles'''. The real AKS-74 assault rifle (5.45mm) is a side folding rifle. The ones in the film, however were obvious underfolding stocks as well as 7.62 sized magazines. A faux AK-74 style muzzle brake was put on the rifles. Remember that this was filmed in 1987, and no AK74 or 5.45mm guns existed in the United States (or our allies) at this time.

[[Image:Rambo3-FakeAK74sA.jpg‎ |thumb|none|500px|Spetsnaz commandos ride back towards the camp on armored vehicles, all carrying the fake AKS-74 rifles.]]

===AKM with underslung M203 40mm grenade launcher===
Of all the wacky weapons to appear in a war movie, this is one of the strangest combinations in cinema history. Lacking the Soviet 40mm [[BG-15 grenade launcher]] which was mounted to the real AK-74 rifles in the Russo-Afghan war, the movie armorers merely attached a U.S. made M203 grenade launcher to a Maadi AKM (ARM) rifle (with an aftermarket side folding stock). It is first seen wielded by Sgt. Kourov ([[Randy Raney]]), who is killed in a one on one fight with Rambo. Rambo later takes the weapon and uses it at the final battle. What is unusual is that after the first shot, Rambo fires multiple shots out of the 40mm launcher when he has no more visible rounds to load the weapon with.

[[Image:Rambo3-AKM2034A.jpg|thumb|none|500px|A detail shot of the way the M203 is mounted to the AKM. Since these two weapons were never designed to work together, note the bizarre way Stallone has to grab the weapon (by the magazine) in order to fire the M203 launcher.]]

==Rifles==

===Lee-Enfield No.1 MkIII*===
In actuality there are no clear examples of the SMLE (No 1 Mk III) in the movie, however it is very possible that they were used in the mass scenes of horsemen. The Vast majority of rifles seen clearly seen being carried by any combatant on film are AK-47s, Mauser Kar98ks, Mosin-Nagant M91/30s and Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk 1s. When Rambo was in Peshawar, a number of Afghans in the crowded street were seen with No.1 MkIII* rifles slung over their shoulders while Rambo was heading to the arms dealer.

===Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I===
Seen in the hands of Mujahideen fighters throughout the film.

===Mauser Karabiner 98k===
Seen in the hands of Mujahideen fighters thoughout the film. Since most of the film was made in Israel, it is likely that the Mauser Kar98k rifles that were used were Israeli Mauser Kar98k rifles chambered for the 7.62mm NATO round.

===SVD Dragunov===
Rambo briefly carried the SVD Dragunov rifle after the Hind helicopter he stole was shot down. Considering the time frame, it is also likely that the rifle is a Norinco NDM-86, the Chinese clone of the SVD rifle, since the NDM-86 was readily available for commercial sale during the late 1980s.

==Submachine guns==

===PM-63===

==Squad Automatics and Heavy Machine Guns==

===PKM machine gun===
Used by Rambo during the final battle with the Red Army.

===Browning AN/M2 .30 Cal Machine Gun===
An unfortunate result of the sudden relocation of filming back to the U.S., a 'Soviet' soldier fires a mocked up Browning AN/M2 .30 cal machine gun with a fake extended barrel shroud to simulate some sort of Russian weapon. Weapon supplied by Ellis Mercantile.
[[Image:Rambo3-M1919ModA.jpg‎ |thumb|500px|none|Russian Soldier fires a mocked up Russian MG, made from an AN/M2 machine gun - .30-06.]]

===Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun===
Another Americam "Mock Up", an American M2 Heavy Barrel was mounted to a 'light blue pickup truck' and modified with another fake barrel shroud to disguise the weapon's origins.

===DShK 12.7mm Heavy Machine Gun===
An accurate and real DShK 12.7mm Soviet Machine Gun is used by Rambo to down an attack helicopter. It is one of the very few times a real DShK (rather than a fake one made out of an American gun like an M2 .50 cal) is used in an American Motion Picture. The scenes where a real DShK was used were filmed in Israel, using real Soviet weaponry courtesy of the Israeli Armorers.

==="Acetylene Gas firing" Oerlikon 20mm AA gun===
A real Oerlikon 20mm AA gun is used in the final battle, wielded by Col. Trautman, however it is mysteriously missing a rear sight and (most importantly) the drum magazine. This is an auto cannon with no ammunition. The one used in the film was an 'acetylene' gun (a real weapon mocked up with Acetylene gas internals to 'fake firing'). This method is used many time in either helicopter mounted guns (for safety) and heavy machine guns. They fire a 'flash of fire' rather slowly to simulate the firing of a large machine gun round. Supplied by Ellis Mercantile for the film.

Note: It is highly unlikely that a 20mm auto cannon would be mounted to a lightweight vehicle like a jeep. Even a .50 Cal MG would need special plates to keep from ripping itself from the mount of a lightweight vehicle.]]

== Other Weapons ==

===M19 60mm Mortar===
Used by Mudjahideen fighters during the final battle.
[[Image:Rambo3-MortarA.jpg‎|thumb|500px|none|Firing the mortar during the final battle.]]

===RPG-7===

[[Image:Rambo3-RPGA.jpg‎ ‎|thumb|none|500px|Rambo holds an RPG-7, judging by its appearance, it could be the same RPG-7 prop used in the second Rambo movie.]]

===Flamethrower===
An improvised flamethrower is used by the prison guards at the Russian military base.
[[Image:Rambo3-FlamethrowerPrisonA.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Afghan guard, dressed in all black clothing, but wearing Soviet tanker's insignia wields an improvised flamethrower, which Rambo takes and uses against him.]]

===Russian RGD-1 Hand Grenades===
Outside the base, trip wires are made using WW2 vintage Soviet RGD-1 grenades, the arming wire wrapped around the pin. Soviet soldiers can also be seen with these grenades on their jackets. In reality, the Red Army and their allies would be using the RGD-5 or later generations of fragmentation grenades.

[[Image:RamboIIIgrenade-3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Rambo pulls the pin on Sgt. Kourov's grenade to loosen his bear grip during a fight.]]

===M134 Minigun===
A fake mockup of a M134 style minigun is mounted (with a very lightweight mount) to the front nose of the fake Russian Hind Helicopter Gunship. It fires (very weakly) a fake Acetylene fire blast during some of the fly by sequences. Most of the time in the movie, the firing of the helicopter's Minigun is implied, using ground squibs and sound effects. It is supposed to be a stand in for the real '''12.7 mm YakB machine gun''' that is mounted on the real Mil MI-24 "Hind" gunships. The YakB Gatling gun is a rotating four barrel gun similar to the M134.

===Fake Hind Helicopter Rocket Pods===
Seen mounted on the fake Hind Helicopter, these are completely built props to fire acetylene gas bursts and pyrotechnic charges.
[[Image:Rambo3-HINDRocketsA.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Special effects made rocket pods for the fake Hind Helicopter]]

=== Rambo's Survival Knife ===
Unlike the first two films, Rambo's knife is not a survival knife in this film. Instead, it is a design by a fantasy knife artist, made more for looks than for practicality.

=== Hoyt Archery Rambo Compound Bow===
A custom take down Compound Bow is Rambo's weapon of choice when he wants to kill silently, or with blue cyalume light sticks or Torque arrows to 'explode a helicopter' (!)

==Trivia Specials==

===Fake MIL Mi-24 Hind===
Also seen in ''[[Red Dawn]]'' but most noted in Rambo II and Rambo III. The "Faux Hind's" are French-made Aerospatiale Puma's but with bolt-on wings to appear like Soviet Gunships with fake rocket pods etc. Although this was a mock up, The Pilots found them extremely practical other than vanity as they enabled the Chopper's to perform aerobatic stunts.

A similar "Faux Hind" modification was done to a Sikorsky S-62 in ''[[Braddock: Missing In Action 3]]'' and ''[[Red Scorpion]]''.

===Early Holographic/Red Dot sight===
Seen used by Spetsnaz in the battle in the caves, we see an early model holographic or red dot optical sight mounted on a fake AK74. This was filmed in 1987 so we would see the early ancestors of today's EOTech or Aimpoint sights.
[[Image:Rambo3-HoloSightA.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Spetsnaz commando searches the cave with an early aimpoint or holographic sight attached to his AK rifle.]]

===Real Soviet T-62 Tank===
Rambo ducks under and hitches a ride underneath an authentic Soviet T-62 Tank. This was the night compound sequence filmed in Israel, (which was the only way an American film could obtain a Soviet tank) since no motion picture vehicle company in the U.S. had access to real Soviet Armor, especially a relatively recent tank like the T-62, during the time frame of this film.
[[Image:Rambo3-T62A.jpg‎‎|thumb|none|500px|A real Russian T-62 Tank moves over a hill during the night compound sequence in '''Rambo III''']]

===Fake Russian T-72 Tank===
When the film was forced to relocate to the United States, the movie's access to real Soviet vehicles suffered. The Russian armored vehicles in the final battle were taken straight from the film ''[[Red Dawn]]''. This is a fake Russian T-72 tank from Veluzat Armored Vehicles out of Newhall, California.
[[Image:Rambo3-FakeT72A.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Rambo miraculously manages to drive a tank, fire the main gun and reload it, with no other crewmen in the vehicle, while charging a helicopter!]]

i have seen this movie i didn't stop laughing anyways newer Russian tanks don' need a loader they has a auto system that loads the rounds in the main gun. blakerogers3006@hotmail.com

===Fake Russian ZSU-23 "Shilka" AA Gun===
Built for the film ''[[Red Dawn]]'', this fake ZSU-23 AA gun was a mockup from an American APC.
[[Image:Rambo3-ZSUfakeA.jpg‎‎|thumb|none|500px|Fake ZSU-23 AA mocked up from an American APC by Veluzat Military Vehicles, Inc.]]

===Fake Soviet Uniforms===
Not a weapon, but worth noting, the Soviet soldiers were outfitted years before any surplus came out of Russia or any of the Eastern bloc nations. The actors wore a bunch of stuff that no Soviet Soldier would be caught 'dead' wearing ....
[[Image:Rambo3-BoonieHatsA.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Soviet soldiers wear French Tropical hats in place of the correct Soviet desert boonie hats]]
[[Image:Rambo3-ChineseHatsA.jpg‎ |thumb|none|500px|More "Soviet" extras in the Arizona desert.

Only soldiers on long range missions, far from their base camp would be let-off being unshaven or grow their hair so long.]]

Rambo III

2009-02-23T07:31:57Z

Bboy41: /* RPG-7 */

[[Image:Rambo3Poster.jpg|thumb|right|300px|]]
'''Rambo III''' (1988) is an unusual movie in that it's production was halted about two thirds into the shooting schedule of the film. Rambo III was scheduled to film entirely in Israel (and Thailand for the first part of the film), and many scenes were filmed in ''Eilat'' (the southern most tip of Israel between Jordan and Egypt), using Israeli armorers. However, the spectacle of a major American movie being filmed in the middle east created a lot of concern about terrorist attacks (to disrupt the production and 'send a message of the U.S.'). Before production could be completed, it is said that Israel revoked the production's permission to remain in the country (the rumored reason being security concerns and threats made to the American film crew). Not wishing for a multi million dollar film to be scrapped, then California State Senator Pete Wilson (R) (a big proponent of the film industry in California and later Governor of the state), helped the production relocate back to Southern California and Arizona. The remaining shots were completed (including many insert shots) using the same talent, but utilizing areas around the American Western Desert, most notable Yuma, AZ for the final battle and Lone Pine, CA for 2nd unit photography. The sudden change from 'accurate Soviet weaponry' (provided by the Israeli armorers) to the typical 'faux' weaponry seen in many American movies, is explained by this sudden relocation back to the U.S.A. Thus we see mocked up Browning M2 .50 cal Machine guns instead of real Soviet DShK 12.7mm MGs, etc. Stembridge Gun Rentals took over the final shoot (back in the states).

Most notably, the armored vehicles at the final battle changed from the authentic and original Soviet armored vehicles from the middle of the film, to the modified American tanks. These were provided by Veluzat Armored Vehicles out of Newhall, California. Only aficionados of tanks would notice the change.

'''The weapons used in this movie are:'''

==Assault Rifles==

===AK-47===
Seen carried by the Mujahideen and by Armed tribal members in Peshawar, Pakistan. The ones in the early parts of the film are authentic AK-47s (the real deal). These were all captured enemy arms, taken during the many wars between Israel and their neighbor nations. Israeli movie armorers have access to tons of authentic captured Soviet weaponry over the years, and any film shot in Israel would have real Soviet guns.
[[Image:Rambo3-AK47.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Tribal member in Peshawar holds an AK-47 - 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:Rambo3-AK47a.jpg‎ ‎|thumb|none|500px|Mujahideen fighters hold a council with Rambo, many holding AK-47s. These are Israeli movie guns, evident by the extra long screw on blank adapters on the end of the barrels. American Armorers usually have drop in BFAs or thread the interior of their barrels and use a hex nut as the blank adapter, but the Israelis don't. This is the case for every movie filmed in Israel that has AK-47s and is a good visual indicator where a scene was filmed.]]
[[Image:Rambo3-AK47 04a.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Another good shot of the AK-47s with the extended screw on blank adapters. These are noticeably thinner than any of the military screw on blank adapters and are a different shape than any military BFA issued for the AK or any of it's variants.]]

===AKS-47===
Seen briefly, some of the Soviet Soldiers carry the milled receiver AKS-47 underfolder rifle, the predecessor to the underfolder AKMS rifle. Since this sequence was filmed in Israel, one can assume these are authentic Russian AK-47 Milled receiver weapons.
[[Image:Rambo3-AK47S RussianA.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Soviet soldiers make their rounds carrying the AKS-47 underfolder assault rifles - 7.62x39mm]]

===AKM===
Full Stock AKMs are used by the Mujahideen and the Russians. Rambo and Col. Trautman also use the AKM rifle on numerous occasions throughout the film. The ones used while filming in Israel are real Soviet AKM rifles. The ones used while filming in the United States were Maadi ARM rifles (the American imported versions of the MISR).

[[Image:AKMRifle.jpg‎ |thumb|none|450px|AKM assault rifle, 7.62x39mm]]

[[Image:RamboIIIAK-47.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Rambo with an AKM in the base. What appears to be a continuity error is actually an error by the editor. Rambo discards the AMD-65 he is originally using and picks up an AKM from a dead Russian soldier, but the action was cut down to a reaction shot where the AKM just 'appears' in his hands. This continuity issue was actually discussed by the armorers on the film. ]]

===AKMS===
Carried by Mujahideen, the Russians and Rambo.
[[Image:AKMS.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AKMS, stamped steel receiver w/ slant muzzle brake and under-folding stock - 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:Rambo3-AKMSa.jpg‎ |thumb|500px|none|Mujahideen fires his AKMS - 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:Rambo3-AKMS ChangeA.jpg‎ |thumb|500px|none|Rambo uses the wire buttstock of an AKMS to break through a stone wall - 7.62x39mm. Again a weapons change that some thought was a continuity error, it actually isn't. Rambo enters the tunnel with a full stocked AKM, however he discards it along the way and takes Mousa's folding stock AKMS.]]

===Type 56 Assault Rifle===
When filming shifted to the U.S., the Chinese Type 56 (the military name of the imported Norinco AKS-47 Chinese rifles) were used in place of the AK-47s. Historically this is accurate anyway, since China supplied many Type 56 rifles to the Mujahideen fighters (by way of Pakistan) during the 1980s.
[[Image:Type56S.jpg|thumb|500px|none|Norinco Type 56-1 Underfolder AK variant - 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:Type56Standard.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Norinco Type 56 (Imported into the U.S. as the Norinco AKS-47 or AKS-47 Sporter) - 7.62x39mm. This particular gun lacks the "pig sticker" bayonet seen on the model above, which was standard on PLA-issue Type 56s, but much rarer on the export versions.]]
[[Image:Rambo3-Type56FireA.jpg‎‎|thumb|500px|none|Mousa ([[Sasson Gabai]]) fires his Type 56 rifle to save Rambo from a charging Russian soldier - 7.62x39mm]]

===AMD 65===
Colonel Trautman ([[Richard Crenna]]) and Rambo are seen with a Hungarian AMD-65 rifle. The traditional muzzle brake of the AMD-65 was replaced with an Israeli Blank fire adapter (also seen on the other AK variants). The same AMD-65 type rifles were also wielded by Russian Tankers (ironically, wearing the same 'faux' Soviet winter tanker uniforms made for the film "Red Dawn".)
[[Image:AMD65Short.jpg‎ |thumb|500px|none|Hungarian AMD-65 as seen in the film. This one has an American copy of an Israeli blank fire adapter (which is slightly longer and thinner than most commonly seen external BFAs. This is the version seen in the movie.)]]

[[Image:Rambo3-AMDTankersA.jpg‎ |thumb|500px|none|Soviet tanker crews getting mowed down by Rambo, all wielding AMD-65s with the Israeli BFAs - 7.62x39mm]]

===Fake AKS-74===
AKS-74 rifles were mocked up from '''AKMS underfolder rifles'''. The real AKS-74 assault rifle (5.45mm) is a side folding rifle. The ones in the film, however were obvious underfolding stocks as well as 7.62 sized magazines. A faux AK-74 style muzzle brake was put on the rifles. Remember that this was filmed in 1987, and no AK74 or 5.45mm guns existed in the United States (or our allies) at this time.

===AKM with underslung M203 40mm grenade launcher===
Of all the wacky weapons to appear in a war movie, this is one of the strangest combinations in cinema history. Lacking the Soviet 40mm [[BG-15 grenade launcher]] which was mounted to the real AK-74 rifles in the Russo-Afghan war, the movie armorers merely attached a U.S. made M203 grenade launcher to a Maadi AKM (ARM) rifle (with an aftermarket side folding stock). It is first seen wielded by Sgt. Kourov ([[Randy Raney]]), who is killed in a one on one fight with Rambo. Rambo later takes the weapon and uses it at the final battle. What is unusual is that after the first shot, Rambo fires multiple shots out of the 40mm launcher when he has no more visible rounds to load the weapon with.

[[Image:Rambo3-AKM2034A.jpg|thumb|none|500px|A detail shot of the way the M203 is mounted to the AKM. Since these two weapons were never designed to work together, note the bizarre way Stallone has to grab the weapon (by the magazine) in order to fire the M203 launcher.]]

==Rifles==

===Lee-Enfield No.1 MkIII*===
In actuality there are no clear examples of the SMLE (No 1 Mk III) in the movie, however it is very possible that they were used in the mass scenes of horsemen. The Vast majority of rifles seen clearly seen being carried by any combatant on film are AK-47s, Mauser Kar98ks, Mosin-Nagant M91/30s and Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk 1s. When Rambo was in Peshawar, a number of Afghans in the crowded street were seen with No.1 MkIII* rifles slung over their shoulders while Rambo was heading to the arms dealer.
[[Image:SMLE.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk III* - .303 British]]
[[Image:Rambo3-HorsemenA.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|It is possible that some horsemen carry the Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk III* - .303 British, which would be accurate historically.]]

===Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I===
Seen in the hands of Mujahideen fighters throughout the film.

[[Image:Rambo3-No4Mk1a.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|An man is seen with a No.4 Mk 1 rifle slung over his right shoulder in the Arms bazaar in Peshawar Pakistan. He is likely an Afghan expat, having crossed over the border of Afghanistan, but many remote Pakistani tribals, especially those on the Afghan border, are so armed as well.]]

===Mauser Karabiner 98k===
Seen in the hands of Mujahideen fighters thoughout the film. Since most of the film was made in Israel, it is likely that the Mauser Kar98k rifles that were used were Israeli Mauser Kar98k rifles chambered for the 7.62mm NATO round.

[[Image:Rambo3-SKS02a.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|SKS rifle - 7.62x39mm]]

===SVD Dragunov===
Rambo briefly carried the SVD Dragunov rifle after the Hind helicopter he stole was shot down. Considering the time frame, it is also likely that the rifle is a Norinco NDM-86, the Chinese clone of the SVD rifle, since the NDM-86 was readily available for commercial sale during the late 1980s.

==Submachine guns==

===PM-63===
This weapon is used by Colonel Zaysen ([[Marc de Jonge]]) during the interrogation scene.
[[Image:PM63.JPG|thumb|500px|none|PM-63]]

==Squad Automatics and Heavy Machine Guns==

===PKM machine gun===
Used by Rambo during the final battle with the Red Army.
[[Image:PKM-mg.jpg|thumb|500px|none|Russian PKM Machine Gun - 7.62x54R]]

===Browning AN/M2 .30 Cal Machine Gun===
An unfortunate result of the sudden relocation of filming back to the U.S., a 'Soviet' soldier fires a mocked up Browning AN/M2 .30 cal machine gun with a fake extended barrel shroud to simulate some sort of Russian weapon. Weapon supplied by Ellis Mercantile.
[[Image:Rambo3-M1919ModA.jpg‎ |thumb|500px|none|Russian Soldier fires a mocked up Russian MG, made from an AN/M2 machine gun - .30-06.]]

===Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun===
Another Americam "Mock Up", an American M2 Heavy Barrel was mounted to a 'light blue pickup truck' and modified with another fake barrel shroud to disguise the weapon's origins.
[[Image:Rambo3-MockedUp50A.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Rambo fires a mocked up M2 .50 cal on a truck - .50 BMG]]‎

===DShK 12.7mm Heavy Machine Gun===
An accurate and real DShK 12.7mm Soviet Machine Gun is used by Rambo to down an attack helicopter. It is one of the very few times a real DShK (rather than a fake one made out of an American gun like an M2 .50 cal) is used in an American Motion Picture. The scenes where a real DShK was used were filmed in Israel, using real Soviet weaponry courtesy of the Israeli Armorers.

Rather than do the obvious thing and grab the AKMS with folding stock on the sandbags, the sentry tries to rotate the large heavy machine gun around to kill Rambo, but he is too slow and Rambo ends up killing him.]]

==="Acetylene Gas firing" Oerlikon 20mm AA gun===
A real Oerlikon 20mm AA gun is used in the final battle, wielded by Col. Trautman, however it is mysteriously missing a rear sight and (most importantly) the drum magazine. This is an auto cannon with no ammunition. The one used in the film was an 'acetylene' gun (a real weapon mocked up with Acetylene gas internals to 'fake firing'). This method is used many time in either helicopter mounted guns (for safety) and heavy machine guns. They fire a 'flash of fire' rather slowly to simulate the firing of a large machine gun round. Supplied by Ellis Mercantile for the film.
[[Image:Rambo3-20mmA.jpg‎|thumb|500px|none|Richard Crenna mans a fake Oerlikon 20mm gun. For an example of a correct Oerlikon gun (see the ''[[Stealth]]'' page.]]
[[Image:Rambo3-OerlikontrackA.jpg‎|thumb|500px|none|Colonel Trautman tracks the Fake Hind Gunship with his Oerlikon. In reality, one direct hit in a vital area from a 20mm shell at that range would down the helicopter immediately.]]

Note: It is highly unlikely that a 20mm auto cannon would be mounted to a lightweight vehicle like a jeep. Even a .50 Cal MG would need special plates to keep from ripping itself from the mount of a lightweight vehicle.]]

== Other Weapons ==

===M19 60mm Mortar===
Used by Mudjahideen fighters during the final battle.
[[Image:Rambo3-MortarA.jpg‎|thumb|500px|none|Firing the mortar during the final battle.]]

===RPG-7===
Rambo wields an RPG-7 during his night fight with the compound guards.
[[Image:Rambo3-RPGA.jpg‎ ‎|thumb|none|500px|Rambo holds an RPG-7, judging by its appearance, it could be the same RPG-7 prop used in the second Rambo movie.]]

===Flamethrower===
An improvised flamethrower is used by the prison guards at the Russian military base.
[[Image:Rambo3-FlamethrowerPrisonA.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Afghan guard, dressed in all black clothing, but wearing Soviet tanker's insignia wields an improvised flamethrower, which Rambo takes and uses against him.]]

===Russian RGD-1 Hand Grenades===
Outside the base, trip wires are made using WW2 vintage Soviet RGD-1 grenades, the arming wire wrapped around the pin. Soviet soldiers can also be seen with these grenades on their jackets. In reality, the Red Army and their allies would be using the RGD-5 or later generations of fragmentation grenades.
[[Image:RamboIIIgrenade-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Russian RGD-1 Hand Grenades used as trip wire explosives.]]
[[Image:RamboIIIgrenade-2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|One of the Russian RGD-1 grenades almost goes off before Rambo stops the booby trap from exploding.]]

[[Image:RamboIIIgrenade-3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Rambo pulls the pin on Sgt. Kourov's grenade to loosen his bear grip during a fight.]]

===M134 Minigun===
A fake mockup of a M134 style minigun is mounted (with a very lightweight mount) to the front nose of the fake Russian Hind Helicopter Gunship. It fires (very weakly) a fake Acetylene fire blast during some of the fly by sequences. Most of the time in the movie, the firing of the helicopter's Minigun is implied, using ground squibs and sound effects. It is supposed to be a stand in for the real '''12.7 mm YakB machine gun''' that is mounted on the real Mil MI-24 "Hind" gunships. The YakB Gatling gun is a rotating four barrel gun similar to the M134.
[[Image:M134Minigun.jpg|thumb|none|500px|A real American M134 Minigun for comparison.]]

===Fake Hind Helicopter Rocket Pods===
Seen mounted on the fake Hind Helicopter, these are completely built props to fire acetylene gas bursts and pyrotechnic charges.
[[Image:Rambo3-HINDRocketsA.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Special effects made rocket pods for the fake Hind Helicopter]]

=== Rambo's Survival Knife ===
Unlike the first two films, Rambo's knife is not a survival knife in this film. Instead, it is a design by a fantasy knife artist, made more for looks than for practicality.

[[Image:RamboIIIknife-2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Rambo drops his knife while fighting with the big Russian soldier.]]

=== Hoyt Archery Rambo Compound Bow===
A custom take down Compound Bow is Rambo's weapon of choice when he wants to kill silently, or with blue cyalume light sticks or Torque arrows to 'explode a helicopter' (!)
[[Image:Rambo.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Rambo's Hoyt Archery Compound Bow]]

[[Image:RamboIIIbow-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Rambo fires an arrow with an attached blue cyalume light at the Russians in the cave.]]

==Trivia Specials==

===Fake MIL Mi-24 Hind===
Also seen in ''[[Red Dawn]]'' but most noted in Rambo II and Rambo III. The "Faux Hind's" are French made Aerospatiale Puma's but with bolt-on wings to appear like Soviet Gunship's with fake rocket pods etc. Although this was a mock up, The Pilots found them extremely practical other than vanity as they enabled the Chopper's to perform aerobatic stunts.

A similar "Faux Hind" modification was done to a Sikorsky S-62 in ''[[Braddock: Missing In Action 3]]'' and ''[[Red Scorpion]]''.

===Early Holographic/Red Dot sight===
Seen used by Spetsnaz in the battle in the caves, we see an early model holographic or red dot optical sight mounted on a fake AK74. This was filmed in 1987 so we would see the early ancestors of today's EOTech or Aimpoint sights.
[[Image:Rambo3-HoloSightA.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Spetsnaz commando searches the cave with an early aimpoint or holographic sight attached to his AK rifle.]]

===Real Soviet T-62 Tank===
Rambo ducks under and hitches a ride underneath an authentic Soviet T-62 Tank. This was the night compound sequence filmed in Israel, (which was the only way an American film could obtain a Soviet tank) since no motion picture vehicle company in the U.S. had access to real Soviet Armor, especially a relatively recent tank like the T-62, during the time frame of this film.
[[Image:Rambo3-T62A.jpg‎‎|thumb|none|500px|A real Russian T-62 Tank moves over a hill during the night compound sequence in '''Rambo III''']]

===Fake Russian T-72 Tank===
When the film was forced to relocate to the United States, the movie's access to real Soviet vehicles suffered. The Russian armored vehicles in the final battle were taken straight from the film ''[[Red Dawn]]''. This is a fake Russian T-72 tank from Veluzat Armored Vehicles out of Newhall, California.
[[Image:Rambo3-FakeT72A.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Rambo miraculously manages to drive a tank, fire the main gun and reload it, with no other crewmen in the vehicle, while charging a helicopter!]]

i have seen this movie i didn't stop laughing anyways newer Russian tanks don' need a loader they has a auto system that loads the rounds in the main gun. blakerogers3006@hotmail.com

[[Image:Rambo3-FakeT72 08A.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Detail shot of the fake mocked up T-72 Russian tank sitting in a "hull-down" position. The small posts sticking out on the turret are smoke grenade launchers (as seen on the real T-72s)]]‎

===Fake Russian ZSU-23 "Shilka" AA Gun===
Built for the film ''[[Red Dawn]]'', this fake ZSU-23 AA gun was a mockup from an American APC.
[[Image:Rambo3-ZSUfakeA.jpg‎‎|thumb|none|500px|Fake ZSU-23 AA mocked up from an American APC by Veluzat Military Vehicles, Inc.]]

===Fake Soviet Uniforms===
Not a weapon, but worth noting, the Soviet soldiers were outfitted years before any surplus came out of Russia or any of the Eastern bloc nations. The actors wore a bunch of stuff that no Soviet Soldier would be caught 'dead' wearing ....
[[Image:Rambo3-BoonieHatsA.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Soviet soldiers wear French Tropical hats in place of the correct Soviet desert boonie hats]]
[[Image:Rambo3-ChineseHatsA.jpg‎ |thumb|none|500px|More "Soviet" extras in the Arizona desert. While carrying AKM rifles, they wear the fake KLMK style jumpsuits("Red Dawn" camo), Austrian web gear and Red Chinese Fur hats with the mini red star pins ... all while having hair that is far too long for the Soviet military standards. Only soldiers on long range missions, far from their base camp would be let-off being unshaven or grow their hair so long.]]

Bboy41: /* Smith and Wesson model 64 */

The weapons used in this movie are:

==[[MAC-10]]==

Info needed
[[Image:IngramMAC10.jpg|thumb|300px|none|Ingram MAC 10 open bolt submachine gun - .45 ACP]]‎

==[[Taurus PT92]]==

A Taurus PT92 pistol is carried by Hodges ([[Robert Duvall]]) as his personal weapon.

It's a Taurus PT92 in that particular scene (you can tell because it has the safety mounted on the frame, not on the slide), but I believe he uses a Beretta for the rest of the movie.
[[Image:Colorsberetta92F.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Robert Duvall with his Beretta 92 FS in "Colors"]]

[[Image:Smith&WessonModel14.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Smith & Wesson Model 14 - .38 spl]]

==[[Smith and Wesson model 64]]==

Officer McGavin (Sean Penn) also carries a 3" barrel S&W 64 as a plainclothes/off duty handgun

[[Image:ColorsSW64.jpg|thumb|left|250px|S&W 64 in the movie "colors"]]
[[Image:Smith&WessonModel13.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Smith & Wesson Model 10 w/3" barrel. The blued steel counterpart to the Model 64.]]

==[[Smith & Wesson Model 36 / 38]]==
Finally, Sean Penn carries a 3rd revolver: a S&W 36, as a backup gun, in an ankle holster (barely visible in one scene, during the fight in the Restaurant).
[[Image:S&W 36.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Smith and Wesson Model 36 - .38 special - 5 shot]]

==[[Ithaca 37]]==

The shotgun that Sean Penn (McGavin) removes from the vehicle during a confrontation with a gang to find out who threw a rock at their squad car, However his Partner Robert Duvall (Hodges) tells him to put it back in the car.

It is the 8 shot Ithaca 37 LAPD version with rifled sights.
[[Image:IthacaModel37.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Ithaca Model 37 riot version - 12 gauge]]

Bboy41: /* Smith and Wesson model 14 */

The weapons used in this movie are:

==[[MAC-10]]==

Info needed
[[Image:IngramMAC10.jpg|thumb|300px|none|Ingram MAC 10 open bolt submachine gun - .45 ACP]]‎

==[[Taurus PT92]]==

A Taurus PT92 pistol is carried by Hodges ([[Robert Duvall]]) as his personal weapon.

It's a Taurus PT92 in that particular scene (you can tell because it has the safety mounted on the frame, not on the slide), but I believe he uses a Beretta for the rest of the movie.

Red Dawn (1984)

Bboy41: /* Fake RPG-7 */

[[Image:RedDawnMoviePoster.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]

'''The following weapons were used in the film ''Red Dawn'' (1984):'''

==[[AK-47#AKM|AKM]]==
* [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]] rifles are used by Soviet and Cuban soldiers, and later captured by the Wolverines.
[[Image:RD-Maadi.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Maadi ARM (AKM) 7.62x39mm as used in ''Red Dawn'' (image from Long Mountain Outfitters)]]
* According to Long Mountain Outfitters (http://www.longmountain.com/movieguns/RedDawn), the AKMs used in the movie were actually Egyptian Maadi MISR '''(imported into the US as the ARM)''' semi-auto rifles, some of the first semi-automatic Kalashnikov-type rifles ever imported into the United States (besides the Clayco AKM copies). 53 such rifles were used in the movie, 32 of which were converted to full-auto by Class 2 manufacturer Pearl Manufacturing specially for the film. These guns were later used in numerous other movies. Not to be confused with the post 1989 imported firearms called "MISR" which was modified to comply with the federal import ban.
[[Image:AKMRifle.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Maadi ARM (AKM) 7.62x39mm]]

[[Image:RedDawnWOLVERINES.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Aardvark ([[Doug Toby]]) utters the classic line "Wolverines!" while holding a Maadi ARM rifle converted to Full auto fire]]
[[Image:RedDawnAKM.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Jed ([[Patrick Swayze]]) delivers some hot lead to a Russian tanker via an AKM.]]

==[[AK-74|Fake AKS-74]]==
* Fake AKS-74s are used by Soviet Paratroopers in the first attack on the school and Soviet Spetsnaz in the battle in the snow. They are actually Maadi ARM ([[AK-47#AKM|AKMs]]) that were very cleverly mocked up with skeletal stocks and a custom make muzzle brake that resembled the AK74.
[[Image:RedDawnAK74 03A.jpg‎|thumb|none|700px|Several angles of

the mocked up AK-74 with the custom Muzzle Brake and the non-folding Skeletal stock. These rifles also use orange bakelite 7.62x39mm magazines. As a contrast, the standard AKMs in the film used metal magazines]]

==[[RPG-7|Fake RPG-7]]==
*Used by Soviet and Communist Bloc soldiers, and later [[Charlie Sheen]]. The weapon itself is actually an RPG-2 which has been modified to look like an RPG-7. It is easy to tell the difference given the shape of the warhead and the slightly bulky nature of the optical sight. ''Note: I'm not so sure it's an RPG-2. I believe it is a complete mockup built from scratch. The Warhead is a plastic and rubber fabrication and not an RPG-2 rocket head. The fuse tip itself is the cap from a Crest toothpaste tube! And the sight is really rough and looks to be made of plastic.
[[Image:RedDawnFakeRPG7 02.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Matt ([[Charlie Sheen]]) aims his plastic and rubber mockup of an RPG-7 (though no RPG has a bright yellow warhead with a Bright light blue rocket tube that I know of! :) ]]
[[Image:RedDawnFakeRPG7 04.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Closeup of the rubber rocket head of the fake RPG-7]]

On another note, the rocket of the fake RPG-7 (like many other films that use rocket launchers) is a foam rubber fake when firing around actors. Prior to the advent of CGI in films, they were fired with real Estes rocket motors and '''guided along wires''' to their targets. Below we see a frame of film where we can clearly see the wire that will guide the foam rubber rocket head to its intended target.
[[Image:RedDawnFakeRPG7Wire.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|A view of the wire that guides the phony rocket head to its target.]]

==[[Valmet M78]]==
*The Valmet M78 LMG was standing in for the Soviet RPK since none were available in the country when this movie was filmed. The M78 LMG was used by Russian Paratroopers in the beginning of the movie and, and later by the Wolverines, most notably by [[Jennifer Grey]].
[[Image:Valmet_M78_LMG.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Finnish Valmet M78, standing in for a Russian RPK (since they didn't have any available when this film was made) with a standard stock and 30 rd magazine.

[[Image:RedDawnValmetM78 04.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Jed ([[Patrick Swayze]]) carries the Valmet M78.]]

==[[DShK heavy machine gun|Fake DShK heavy machine gun]]==
* At the time of filming there were no DShK 12.7 machine guns available for use in movies, so the armorers mocked up DShKs from ... '''M60 machine guns!''' Apparently the size difference between a 7.62mm gun and a .50 cal gun wasn't enough to distract people during the movie.... :)
[[Image:RedDawnFakeDSHK-M60.jpg‎ ‎|thumb|none|500px|In the snow battle, we clearly see fake DShKs mounted on the fake T-72 tanks that are made from M60Ds]]
[[Image:RedDawnLeaThompsonM60.jpg|thumb|none|500px|In the ambush on the Spetnaz troops in the snow, Lea Thompson can clearly be seen firing a mocked up M60D, posing as a DShK.]]

==[[Gorunov SG-43/SGM|Fake Gorunov SGM Machine gun]]==
* Yet another Soviet era machine gun that was mocked up from the venerable (and available) M60 Machine gun.
[[Image:RedDawnM60 04.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Robert's position during the snow battle has a fake Gorunov, mocked up from yet another M60 Machine Gun.]]
‎
==Jatimatic SMG==
* The Jatimatic was used by Colonel Strelnikov ([[William Smith]]) when he is hunting [[Charlie Sheen]] and [[Patrick Swayze]] at the end of the film. It was supposed to represent the Polish manufactured ''[[PM-63]]'' machine pistol as none were available in the country during the time of filming as this was the Cold War.
[[Image:RedDawnStrelnikovJatimatic.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Colonel Strelnikov ([[William Smith]]) actually wears the Jatimatic on a custom holster during his speech to the Spetnaz.]]
[[Image:RedDawnStrelnikovJatimatic 02.jpg‎ |thumb|none|500px|Colonel Strelnikov ([[William Smith]]) brandishes the Jatimatic when he hunts for Jed and Matt at the train station.]]

==[[FN FAL]]==
* Seen held by Cuban and Nicaraguan soldiers.
[[Image:RedDawnFNFAL.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|A quick but clear shot of the FAL rifle being brandished by the Cuban / Nicaraguan troops during an ambush. Most of the time the soldiers held the rifles close to their bodies, making a clear view difficult - 7.62x51mm]]

==[[Colt Single Action Army|Colt SAA]]==
* The Colt Single Action Army revolve was used by Jed ([[Patrick Swayze]]).
[[Image:Colt_saa4.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Colt Single Action Army .45 Colt]]
This revolver was a piece owned by director John Milius.

==[[Marlin Model 336|Marlin Model 336A]]==
* The Marlin Model 336A lever action rifle was picked up from the store just after the invasion. [[Doug Toby]] who played the character of Aardvark fires a single shot from the back of a pickup truck at Russian troops, after an American UH-1 helicopter attacks the Soviets on the ground using rockets. He also uses it in some of the ambushes later in the film.

[[Image:RedDawnMod1894 02.jpg‎ ‎|thumb|none|500px|Aardvark ([[Doug Toby]]) fires the Marlin Model 336 during an ambush.]]

==Remington Model 700==
* Jed picks up a Remington Model 700 bolt action rifle from Mr. Morris' store at the beginning of the film. He uses it as a sniper rifle during some of the ambushes. Though the Model 700 is chambered in a variety of calibers such as .308 and 30.06 when hunting large game, Jed's rifle appears to be chambered in a smaller caliber, such as .222 Remington, .223 Remington (5.56mm NATO), or .243 Winchester due to the slender barrel and small aperture. He also appears to have mounted a .22 rimfire scope on the rifle.

[[Image:RedDawnMod70 02.jpg‎ ‎|thumb|none|500px|Jed on an ambush with his Remington 700]]

== [[Remington 870]]==
*One of the weapons grabbed by the boys from Mr. Morris' store at the beginning of the movie. Originally used in its' full sized version and then seen with the barrel cut down to just above the magazine tube after the first ambush of the Russian soldiers near the monument. Used pretty much exclusively by [[C. Thomas Howell]]'s character Robert throughout the movie.
[[Image:RedDawn870.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Robert ([[C. Thomas Howell]]) cuts down the barrel of his Remington 870 wingmaster.]]
[[Image:RedDawnAKM&870.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Robert ([[C. Thomas Howell]]) fires his short 870 along with Matt ([[Charlie Sheen]]) and his AKM.]]

== Fake [[SA-7 Grail]] aka Strela-2 ==
* A mocked up SA-7 Grail (built from metal tubing and plastic) is used by a Cuban soldier at an attacking American UH-1D Helicopter. The Mockup of the SA7 is great. The fact that a soldier firing a heat seeking surface to air missile can't hit a slow moving Huey isn't so great... ;)
[[Image:RedDawnSA7Grail.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|SA-7 Grail aka Russian Strela-2 Surface to air missile is fired at night in the downtown suburb of Calumet, CO.]]

==[[M1911]] Pistol==
* An M1911A1 pistol is first seen in the cold dead hands of an American who resisted the Soviet invasion. The pistol is pulled from the hand of the man and inspected by a Soviet Paratrooper who stuffs it behind his webbing belt. The M1911 is also the duty pistol of Colonel Tanner ([[Powers Boothe]]).

A Bridge Too Far

2009-02-22T10:31:23Z

Bboy41: /* PIAT */

The following guns were used in the movie '''''[[A Bridge Too Far]]''''':
[[Image:BridgeTooFar.gif|right|300px]]

== Mauser 98K ==
Mauser Karabiner 98 (98K) was the standard weapon for all German ground forces during World War 2.
[[Image:Karabiner-98K.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Karabiner 98k - German manufacture 1937 date - 7.92x57mm]]

== Lee-Enfield No 4 Mk 1* ==
Used by all British Troops, mostly the Grenadier Guards in the Armored Column as well as the British 1st Airborne Division when they were trapped in Arnhem. The No 4 Mk 1* rifle was also seen in the hands of the Polish Airborne brigade troops. Colonel John Frost ([[Anthony Hopkins]]) was also seen using a No.4 rifle during the later stages of the battle for Arnhem.

== M1 Garand ==
Used by American troops.

[[Image:BTF-M1 Garand 01A.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Major Julian Cook ([[Robert Redford]]) of the 82nd Airborne leads his soldiers carrying an [[M1 Garand]] .30-06]]

==M1 Carbine==
Used by American Soldiers and mounted on jeeps and other vehicles. Most notably seen when [[James Caan]] pulls one out of it's Jeep mount when he is hiding from a German Patrol in the Forest. Also used by [[Elliott Gould]] when leading the charge to capture a bridge.
[[Image:M1-Carbine.jpg|thumb|none|500px|World War Two Era [[M1 Carbine|M1 Carbine]], with Dark Walnut Stock, 'L' peep sight and no bayonet lug - correct for most of WW2, shown with khaki sling and Magazine pouch for buttstock]]

Actually there was no Robert Stout. The character is based on Colonel Robert Sink, commander of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, which was about to seize the Son River bridge when the Germans managed to blow it up just before they got there.]]
[[Image:BTF-M1-CarbineA.jpg‎ |thumb|none|500px|Exhausted 101st Airborne MP points the way with his M1 Carbine - .30 carbine. Note that though the "L" peep sight is correct, the bayonet lug is Korean War Issue.]]
[[Image:M1CarbineLateModel.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Korean War Era [[M1 Carbine|M1 Carbine]], late 1945 issue, usually referred to as the Korean War Era M1 Carbine, since it saw the most US military action in that campaign- .30 carbine. Also there are no Wartime photographs of Soldiers carrying this model Carbine during World War 2, however occupation troops have them. It has the adjustable rear sight and a bayonet lug.]]
[[Image:BTF-M1-Carbine 02A.jpg‎‎|thumb|none|500px|Sgt. Eddie Dohun ([[James Caan]]) readies his M1 Carbine - .30 carbine. The M1 Carbine is a Post World War 2 variant with a bayonet lug and an adjustable rear sight.]]
[[Image:BTF-M1-Carbine 03A.jpg‎‎|thumb|none|500px|Closer shot of Sgt. Eddie Dohun with his anachronistic Korean War vintage M1 Carbine - .30 carbine]]

==M1A1 Paratrooper Carbine==
A Folding stock version of the M1 Carbine, this ''should'' have been more prevalent amongst the American Airborne troops, however only a few samples are ever seen in the film, most notably during large scenes of massing troops.
[[Image:M1A1carbine.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M1A1 Carbine - .30 Carbine.]]
[[Image:BTF-M1A1CarbineA.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|American 101st soldier on the far left runs with an M1A1 Carbine - .30 carbine]]

== M1911A1 ==
Used throughout the movie, especially by [[James Caan]] when threatening a 101st Airborne combat surgeon (Arthur Hill) in order to get him to treat his wounded captain (Nicholas Campbell). And also by '''Roy Urquhart''' when he blows away a German soldier passing a house window. Actually left-over WW1 M1911 Pistols in .455 Webley & Scott Auto were issued to the British Forces chambered in .455 Webley for the Royal Navy/Royal Air Force, but lend-lease .45ACP M1911A1s were commonly issued to paratroopers and commandos.
[[Image:M1911Colt.jpg|thumb|none|350px|[[M1911|M1911A1]] .45 ACP]]
[[Image:BTF-M1911 03A.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Sgt. Eddie Dohun ([[James Caan]]) threatens the Colonel ([[Arthur Hill]]) to convince him to treat his friend.]]
[[Image:M1911 .455.JPG|thumb|none|350px|M1911 .455 Webley issued to RAF Pilots]]
[[Image:BTF-ConneryPistolA.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|British 1st Airborne General '''Roy Urquhart''' ([[Sean Connery]]) fires an M1911A1 - .45ACP. His junior officers also carry M1911s which is odd since being British ARMY officers, they would be issued Browning Hi-Powers.]]

Actually issue of Browning Hi-Powers to Airborne Forces only started after Operation Market Garden, so use of the M1911 is historically accurate

==M1A1 Thompson==
Seen only briefly during some of the massing troops scenes, the M1A1 Thompson has a peculiarly small roll in the film. The vast majority of Americans are armed with M1 Garands and M1 Carbines, which is unusual, since during many of the battles, nary an M1A1 Thompson can be seen, which is inaccurate.

[[Image:BTF-M1A1a.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|101st soldier runs across with an M1A1 Thompson, but none are seen during the battles in the movie - .45acp]]

==Browning Automatic Rifle==
[[Image:BTF-BARA.jpg‎ |thumb|none|500px|82nd Airborne Soldier with a modified BAR prepares to assault the Nijmegen Bridge - 30.06]]

==Browning M2 HB==
Used by British Armored troops mounted to their Lend Lease Sherman Tanks.
[[Image:BTF-BrowningM2A.jpg‎ |thumb|none|500px|Grenadier Guard fires his Browning M2 - .50 Cal (Note: In the movie, the sound effect for the .50 cal gun is that of an MG42!]]

== Sten Mk5 ==
The standard submachine gun for British and Polish Airborne units. Differentiated from earlier models by the wooden vertical foregrip and wooden stock.

[[Image:Sten Mk5.JPG|thumb|none|500px|[[Sten|Sten Mk5]] as used by British Airborne.]]

== No2 Portable Flamethrower ==
Used in the attack on the German bunker on the Arnhem bridge this weapon, known as the "Lifebuoy" for its' resemblance to a lifesaver, was the standard British flamethrower.
[[Image:Flame1.JPG|thumb|none|250px|No2 Portable Flamethrower as used by British Airborne.]]‎
[[Image:BTF-Flame 02A.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|British 1st Airborne Soldier with the No.2 Portable Flamethrower. Note the "Life Saver" shape of the fuel reservoir.]]

== PIAT ==
''Projectile Infantry Anti-Tank''
Used throughout the movie by British and Polish airborne units (who were similarly equipped) this weapon fired a 3 lb. hollow charge warhead via means of a powerful spring which ignited its propellant. The weapon had a powerful recoil which necessitated it being fired prone since any other position would knock the user flat down. Seen especially during the repulse of the initial German assault on the Arnhem bridge.

== Vickers Machine Gun ==
Used by British soldiers when the armored convoy is ambushed.
[[Image:BTF-VickersA.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|British Grenadier Guards fight with a Vickers - .303]]

==Karabiner 98 Sniper==
Used by designated Marksmen and Snipers in the German Armed forces.

'''The following guns are used in the film ''[[Heartbreak Ridge]]'''''
[[Image:Heartbreakridgecover.jpg|thumb|right|300px|''[[Heartbreak Ridge]] (1986)'']]

==M16 (AR-15/SP1)==
In many scenes, [[M16 rifle series|M16 (AR-15/SP1)]] rifles is seen. Some of them appear to be genuine civilian AR-15/SP1s and aren't seen fired full-auto. Instead, M16A1s seem to be used to depict full-auto fire. That is, until the Grenada sequence, when the Recon platoon's weapons are both M16A1s and M16 rifles, possibly AR-15/SP1's converted to fire full-auto, perhaps do to a lack of enough M16A1 rifles for those scenes.

[[Image:HRM16-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Recon Marines in training fire their M16s down range, although they are likely AR-15/SP1s, as they aren't seen firing full-auto until in Grenada, when more full-auto guns were required.

[[Image:HRM16-3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Pvt. "Stitch" Jones ([[Mario Van Peebles]]) with his AR-15/SP1 while Highway hassles him over pawning his kevlar helmet.]]
[[Image:HRM16-4.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Highway with his AR-15/SP1 in Grenada. This one appears to be converted to full-auto or it could be an actual M16 fitted with an A1 birdcage muzzle break, but it's a bit less likely.]]
[[Image:HRM16-5.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Lt. Ring with the AR-15/SP1 in Grenada, his also featuring full-auto fire, making it a possible M16 with a birdcage muzzle break as well.]]

==M16A1==
Seen in the hands of several Recon Marines, used when a fully-automatic weapon is required early in the film, until Grenada when possibly all the weapons were converted to full-auto fire, perhaps due to a lack of [[M16A1]]s. They seem to have either older M16 lowers or possible civilian AR-15 lowers modified to fire full-auto, as noted by the lack of magazine fencing.

[[Image:HRM16A1-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Highway pulls a Marine's M16A1 out of his face when he complains about his weapon malfunctioning, nearly getting his head blown off. The weapon empties a full magazine, almost killing the other men on the firing range.]]

[[Image:HRM16A1-5.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Lt. Ring is seen using an M16A1 after taking the hill, a possible continuity error, since he was using an AR-15/SP1 rifle earlier.]]

==Fake M203 Grenade Launcher==
One of the Marines has an AR-15/SP1 (or possible M16) fitted with an underslung [[Cobray 37mm Launcher|Fake M203 Grenade Launcher]] made to take the place of the M203 40mm launcher. Upon close inspection, this is one of the first 'fake' M203 launchers that were made by Special Effect Unlimited, Ltd and later used by Stembridge Guns and other Hollywood Rental houses. It is not a Cobray/SWD or any other commercially available 37mm Flare Launcher. The entire launcher was custom fabricated out of Aluminum and designed to fire a special pyrotechnic charge. It is the same 'fake M203' used by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie ''[[Predator]]''. The visual differences between this custom M203 versus the 37mm Flare Launchers is:
:''1) Larger receiver with no cocking handle or safety.''
:''2) There is a lever on the left side which opens the barrel for loading, both the 37mm & Real M203 unlock the barrel with a lever near the top of the mounting block.''
:''3) The Trigger guard is larger and more square with no second safety trigger.
:''4) The 'ribbed' foregrip of the M203 & the Cobray 37mm Launchers utilize the real plastic sleeves used by Colt, this one has the 'ribbing' actually molded into the metal of the barrel. It's one entire piece, painted black and noticeable 'smoother' with the ribs spread farther apart. If you see wear and tear on the ribbed foregrip and there is metal underneath the paint, it's one of these fake M203s. The real or 37mm versions are plastic.''
:''5) This is actually an 39mm tube not the smaller 37mm diameter flare launchers. But it is still not subject to the same restrictions as the M203 because of it's custom design. It can't take any standard breach load munitions of any kind and it's a smooth bore barrel.''
:''6) The Barrel is slightly longer than both the standard M203 and Cobray CM203 (though all types have offered 'long barreled versions' for sale).

[[Image:HRM203-2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Collins orders his men up armed with his M16(AR-15/SP1) with the [[Cobray 37mm Launcher|Fake M203 Grenade Launcher]].]]
[[Image:HRM203-3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Collins fires his M16(AR-15/SP1) with underslung [[Cobray 37mm Launcher|Fake M203 Grenade Launcher]].]]

==M60 machine gun==
An [[M60 machine gun]] is used by Recon Marine Private Johansson "The Swede", Used inside an armored vehicle by the Cubans, and seen on the helicopter that picks up the Recon men after the operation is complete.
[[Image:M60.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M60 machine gun 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[Image:HRM60-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Johansson "The Swede" gives supporting fire with his M60.]]
[[Image:HRM60-2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|"The Swede" walks with the rest of his men to the hill, somehow comfortably holding the 23lb M60 with one hand. It could be a light weight polyurethane cast of the real gun or perhaps he really is strong enough to hold it like that.]]
[[Image:HRM60-4.jpg|thumb|none|500px|"The Swede" climbs the hill with his M60.]]
[[Image:HRM60-3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|A Cuban soldier fires an M60 out of the armored vehicle.]]
[[Image:HRM60-5.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The Helo that picks up the Recon Marines is fitted with a door mounted M60.]]

==AKM==
Gunnery Sgt. Tom Highway ([[Clint Eastwood]]) uses an [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]] to teach his recruits in basic training, by shooting at them so they know the distinct sound of an AK-47 being fired at them. Several Cuban soldiers use them as well, just as Highway said they would.
[[Image:AKMRifle.jpg|thumb|none|400px|AKM, Stamped Steel Receiver w/ slant muzzle brake 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:HRAKM-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|"This is the AK-47 assault rifle, the preferred weapon of your enemy, and it makes a very distinctive sound when fired at you, so remember it.".]]
[[Image:HRAKM-2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Highway fires his AKM at the recruits as they crawl through barbed wire trenches. Clint clearly knows how to fire this rifle, to add.]]
[[Image:HRAKM-4.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Cuban soldiers fire their AKM rifles at the Recon Marines using the armored vehicle as cover (note that the vehicle is actually an American-made Cadillac-Gage Commando, apparently meant to be a BRDM).]]

==Norinco Type 56==
What looks like a [[AK-47|Norinco Type 56]] is seen lying next to a dead Cuban soldier. This is assumed based on the smooth reciever and front grips. The front sights aren't seen so it is hard to be sure.
[[Image:ChineseType56.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Norinco Type 56 with "pig sticker" bayonet - 7.62x39mm.]]
[[Image:HRAKM-3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|A Norinco Type 56 lay next to a dead Cuban soldier.]]

==DShK==
A Cuban soldier is seen firing a [[DShK heavy machine gun|DShK]] heavy machine gun at the Recon Marines. It is most likely an M60D dressed up to look like a DShK, similair to the guns in [[Red Dawn]], as DShKs weren't too common at the time, but it isn't seen close enough to tell. The belt feeding into it does look considerably small though.
[[Image:DSHK.jpg|thumb|none|400px|DShK machine gun 12.7x109mm]]
[[Image:HRDShK-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|A Cuban soldier fires a DShK at the Recon Marines.]]

What looks like a [[AK-47|Norinco Type 56]] is seen lying next to a dead Cuban soldier. This is assumed based on the smooth reciever and front grips. The front sights aren't seen so it is hard to be sure.

==DShK==
A Cuban soldier is seen firing a [[DShK heavy machine gun|DShK]] heavy machine gun at the Recon Marines. It is most likely an M60D dressed up to look like a DShK, similair to the guns in [[Red Dawn]], as DShKs weren't too common at the time, but it isn't seen close enough to tell. The belt feeding into it does look considerably small though.
