Four Lions (2010)

Four Lions is a 2010 British satirical black comedy directed by Chris Morris about five would-be Jihadist suicide bombers in London and their bumbling attempts to carry out a terrorist attack.


The following weapons can be seen in the movie Four Lions:

Rifles

Fake AK-47

One of the Jihadists, Waj (Kayvan Novak), uses a fake AK-47 in one of the videos. As a miniature dummy, it is very unconvincing.

In an attempt to, in his own words, "bigger" the toy.

AKMS

In a Jihadi training camp in Pakistan, Waj (Kayvan Novak) acquires an authentic AKMS rifle and fires it in one of the videos, naturally irritating camp leader Khalid (Willliam El-Gardi) due to the presence of American drones in the area.

Heckler & Koch HK93A2

A British Police Sniper (Kevin Eldon) uses a Heckler & Koch HK93A2 configured to resemble an HK33SG/1 to shoot a "Wookie" mistaken for one of the terrorists. This leads to a hilarious exchange about whether a wookie or a honey monster is a bear.

Burst in, guns blazing. In true fashion for the police in this movie, they hit the hostage, not the hostage taker.

Launchers

M136 AT4

A stash of M136 AT4 missile launchers are seen at the training camp. Omar (Riz Ahmed) tries to take down an enemy drone with one. However, he holds it the wrong way around and it backfires (literally), and ends up killing Osama Bin Laden.
