<p>128.6.30.206: </p> <hr /> <div>'''The following guns were used in the film ''[[Black Hawk Down]]'''''<br /> <br /> == Browning M2 ==<br /> <br /> The opening firefight in ''[[Black Hawk Down]]'' is a one sided affair in which a local militia leader orders the firing on of a crowd gathered to receive UN food rations while US forces can only look on helplessly. Ironically the weapon used to fire on the crowd, a [[Browning M2]] .50 BMG machine gun, is of US design and manufacture and is also carried on the US Army [[HMMWV]]s in the film. Whether the use of the [[Browning M2]] was an intentional choice by the filmmakers, is historically accurate, or was simply a coincidence is unknown.<br /> <br /> [[Image:BrowningM2.jpg|thumb|left|450px|Browning M2 .50 BMG]] <br /> [[Image:BHD-BrowningM2.jpg‎|thumb|none|450px|The opening shots of Black Hawk Down.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-BrowningM2-2.jpg‎|thumb|none|450px|An Army HMMWV with a Browning M2 turret.]]<br /> <br /> == GE M134 Minigun ==<br /> <br /> During the slaughter of the crowd the Delta in the hovering [[UH-60]] aren't cleared to open up the 6 barreled 7.62x51mm [[GE M134]] minigun hanging off their ''[[UH-60|Black Hawk]]''. [[GE M134]] pylon mounted miniguns are also carried by the [[MH-6]] ''Little Birds'' and rain lead in several scenes.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M134.JPG|thumb|left|450px|GE M134 Minigun in 7.62x51mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M134-2.jpg|thumb|none|450px|A GE M134 with flash suppressor.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M134-4.jpg|thumb|none|450px|A pair of GE M134s on an MH-6 supplying close air support.]]<br /> <br /> == M260 Rocket Launcher ==<br /> <br /> The [[MH-6]] that helps stop Atto's ([[George Harris]]) convoy carries a pair of [[M260]] seven-tube 2.75 inch rocket launchers. <br /> <br /> [[Image:M260.gif|thumb|none|450px|M260 2.75 inch ]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M260.jpg|thumb|none|450px|An MH-6 with a pair of M260 rocket launchers.]]<br /> <br /> == Colt M733 ==<br /> <br /> Busch ([[Richard Tyson]]) is the first Delta member on screen, and also the first soldier we see carrying a version of the ''Black Rifle'', a [[M733|Colt Commando M733]].
