A [[H&K 93|Heckler & Koch HK93]] semi-auto rifle with a scope and a 40 round magazine is used by the Norwegian Lars ([[Kurt Russell]]'s brother-in-law at the time of filming [[Larry Franco]]) to try and kill the infected dog while flying from the helicopter. When the helicopter lands the pilot Jan Bolen (Norbert Weisser) emerges with the rifle and continues after the dog while the passenger has a mishap with a grenade. Incidentally, this scene has in part been reproduced for the prequel, [[The Thing (2011)]] and the pilot renamed Mattias.
