There was a grenade launcher on the M4 held by one of the sentries' at the Special Forces camp in (I think) Iraq not long before John was wounded and shipped to Germany. It was shown at an angle and I never saw the receiver, so I can't say if it was an M203 or a Cobray (probably the latter considering its brief appearance).

Didn't the soldiers at the airport have M4's, and what about the kind of AK's the Afghan's had who were around John's humvee column?

__TOC__<br clear="all">

==AK-47==

There are several appearances throughout the film of [[AK-47]] rifles, primarily in the hands of Iraqi Army soldiers. Uday Hussein ([[Dominic Cooper]]) can also be seen brandishing a gold-plated AK in one scene, the Husseins being infamous for posessing such weapons.

[[Image:DDAK47sa.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Latif surrounded by Iraqi soldiers armed largely with AK-47 rifles]]

==Arsenal SAR-M1==

In one scene, an Iraqi boy can be seen armed with a [[AK-47#Bulgarian Arsenal AR|Bulgarian Arsenal SAR-M1]] with wood furniture, identifiable by the milled receiver, waffle-pattern 5.56mm magazine and AKM-style front sights.

[[Image:DDAK47s.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An Iraqi boy wielding an Arsenal SAR-M1.]]

==AKMS==

In some promotional material for the film, such as the poster above, Uday Hussein can be seen dual-wielding a pair of gold [[AK-47#AKMS|AKMS]] rifles. These are probably gold-sprayed prop guns to represent a '''Tabuk''', a line of Iraq produced AK47 variants, of which an unknown number of gold plated versions were produced in the late 1980's to commemorate the end of the 1980-1988 war with Iran.

==Reck Miami 92F==

There are several appearances in the film of what appear to be [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Reck Miami 92F|Reck Miami 92F]] blank-firing replica pistols primarily in the hands of senior Ba'ath Party members.

==Umarex GPDA==

In several scenes, Latif can be seen armed with a stainless steel [[Browning BDA#Umarex GPDA (Browning BDA replica)|Umarex GPDA]] (a blank-firing copy of the [[Browning BDA]]) with synthetic grips, possibly standing in for the [[Browning Hi-Power]], another weapon the Hussein family was well-known for using during their reign. Uday Hussein throughout the movie carries a golden one as opposite to Latif.
