MasterBlaster: /* AKS-47 */

'''The AK-47 and variants are used by the following actors in the following movies, television series, anime, and video games:'''

'''NOTE: Please keep in mind that while "AK-47" is often a catch-all term for 7.62x39mm Kalashnikov rifles, most so-called "AK-47s" in movies - particularly American movies - are actually either Egyptian Maadi ARM copies of the highly improved [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]], or variants of the Chinese [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Norinco Type 56]]. Please check carefully to make sure that the rifle in question is a true AK-47 and not an AKM or a Chinese Type 56. When in doubt, it is probably safer to assume AKM or Type 56.'''

== AK-47 ==
It is noteworthy that the U.S. government had a ban on all weapons imported from Warsaw Pact nations during the Cold War years (1947-1989). Communist nations which were not part of the Warsaw pact, such as Yugoslavia and Mainland China, were allowed to negotiate trade agreements with the U.S., thus the influx of Chinese AK type rifles and Yugo AKs (Zastava). The Maadi ARMs (the US version of the MISR) were allowed because Egypt was never a Communist country nor a member of the Warsaw Pact. But, as a result of this, virtually no U.S. movie has a real original AK47 prior to a certain date. The exceptions are, custom build ups after the mid 1990s when original AK-47 rifle kits were available (as was done on "We Were Soldiers", using original blueprints and US made milled receivers), and movies filmed overseas where foreign movie armorers had no such restrictions. This is particularly true for films made in Israel and some parts of Europe. This is not the case now, with the current crop of films made outside the U.S., mostly in the newly democratic Eastern European nations (Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, Czech Republic, etc.) However, Russia has firmly blocked the export of their old AK-47 surplus guns outside of the country, having distributed most of them to client nations and guerrillas throughout the world in the previous five decades. So the AK47 one 'thinks' one sees may very well be a Poly Technologies Legend series AK (from China) or another AK Variant.

[[Image:AKMRifle.jpg‎|thumb|right|450px|AKM, Stamped Steel Receiver w/ slant muzzle brake 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:MaadiARM.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Maadi ARM - most of the AKMs seen in movies during the 1980s were imported ARMs that were legally converted to full auto fire. This image is of an actual movie gun. The laminated buttstock was replaced with a hardwood one when the original stock was broken during a stunt. This example is also loaded with a 30-round bakelite plastic magazine - 7.62x39mm]]

The improved version of the AK-47, featuring a number of refinements such as a stamped receiver (as opposed to the milled receiver of the original AK-47), a slant compensator on the tip of the barrel (to reduce recoil), an improved gas tube (without vents), and use of lighter materials to reduce weight and simplify construction.

Most of the AKMs seen in Hollywood movies are actually Egyptian Maadi MISR copies, which were sold in the U.S. as the ARM in the 1980s - such weapons were first procured by Stembridge Gun Rentals for ''[[Red Dawn]]'' and subsequently re-used in numerous other motion pictures. The Maadi is almost identical to the original Soviet-built AKM, save for the markings, and is nearly impossible to tell apart.

== AKMS ==
[[Image:AKMS.jpg|thumb|right|450px|AKMS, stamped steel receiver w/ slant muzzle brake and under-folding stock - 7.62x39mm]]
Basically the same as the AKM, but the rear-trunion is altered with a swiveling mechanism to allow for the under-folding stock. The AKMS nomenclature also indicates that the rifle is not a milled receiver variant and has the AKM style of gas block, top cover, barrel assembly, front sight, and appropriate forearm furniture.

== AKMSU ==
Chopped and shortened AKMS underfolder, made to resemble the [[AKS-74U]] except that it is still a 7.62x39mm gun.

''NOTE: The AKMSU was never manufactured by the Soviet Union, infact the pictures of one available are from a Pakistani made gun. This one model featured an under-folding stock and a thumbhole grip under the barrel. Most of the so-called "AKMSU" carbines seen in Hollywood movies, such as ''[[A Man Apart]]'' and ''[[Bad Boys II]]'', are actually full-size AK variants that have been converted with Krinkov parts kits; many feature side-folding [[AKS-74U]]-style stocks that the real Pakistani made model didn't have.''

==Norinco Type 56==

[[Image:ChineseType56.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Norinco Type 56 (fixed stock variant) with under-folding bayonet ("pig sticker") which was standard on PLA-issue Type 56s - 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:Type56Standard.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Norinco Type 56 (Imported into the U.S. as the Norinco AKS-47 or AKS-47 Sporter) - 7.62x39mm. Rather than having the underfolder pig sticker Bayonet assembly, this has the standard Bayonet lug underneath the gas block as the AKM and later variants.]]
[[Image:Type56S.jpg‎|thumb|right|450px|Norinco Type 56-1 (under-folding stock variant) - 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:Type56-2.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Norinco Type 56-2 (side-folding stock variant) - 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:Type56withChicomDrum.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Norinco Type 56 (Imported AKS-47 into the U.S.) with Chinese 75 Round Drum Magazine - 7.62x39mm]]

The Chinese Type 56 rifle (manufactured by China North Industries Corporation, or Norinco) is by far the most commonly-seen AK derivative in Hollywood productions, both film and television. They are frequently seen impersonating Russian weapons in many films, since the Russians never sold a civilian AK model in the U.S. (or Europe) during the latter half of the 20th century. Most of the movie prop rental houses in Hollywood had dozens if not hundreds of Chinese AKs - mostly the Type 56s (7.62x39mm version) or the similar [[AK-47#Norinco Type 84S|Type 84s]] (5.56x45mm version). These were usually semi-automatic civilian versions (commonly designated "AK47S" or "AKS47" by the importers), in many cases converted to full-auto by Class III manufacturers.

There are three main variants of the Type 56 - the standard Type 56, which has a fixed stock, the Type 56-1, which has an under-folding stock, and the Type 56-2, which has a side-folding stock. Most fixed-stock Type 56 rifles have an under-folding spike bayonet, known as the "pig sticker"; this rifle is often seen in movies about the Vietnam War, and is correct for NVA throughout most of the conflict. Quite a few of the Type 56s seen in movies also have [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]]-style slant compensators fitted; this was a common feature on semi-auto Type 56s exported to the U.S., but NOT the full-auto military model.

The easiest way to tell when an AK-type rifle seen in a movie or TV show is a Chinese Type 56 is by looking at the front sight; Chinese AKs have a distinctive full-circle ("hooded") front sight that no other AKs (including those made in Russia) have.

[[Image:NorincoType84SFolder.jpg‎|thumb|right|500px|Norinco Type 84S Underfolder Model - 5.56mm]]
[[‎Image:NorincoType84STarget.jpg‎|thumb|right|525px|Norinco Type 84S "Target" Rifle - 5.56mm. Basically a standard Norinco Type 84S with a slightly longer barrel. This variant was ready for export after the 1989 US import ban, so it is mostly seen in Canada. It has an 18.5" barrel and was not really seen in the U.S. Gun market.]]
[[‎Image:NorincoType84SMatch.jpg|thumb|right|550px|Norinco Type 84S Match Rifle - 5.56mm. Norinco was stuck sitting on a pile of 21" RPK barrels chambered for 5.56mm when the door slammed shut on U.S. imports in 1989. Norinco saved money by mating their 21" long RPK-style barrels to their stockpile of 84S Folding Stock receiver bodies and thus exported the '''Type 84S Match''' to countries such as Canada and Australia. Canada would suffer their own import ban on 'frightening looking guns' in 1995. Australian gun owners would suffer such a fate in 1997.]]

Nearly identical to the Chinese Type 56 (seen above), but chambered in 5.56x45mm. The Type 84 was imported and sold with an AK birdcage flash hider and had a deep polished factory blue. It is often seen impersonating the [[AK-74]] in movies and TV shows. Several other variants of the 84S Rifle (that are mostly unfamiliar to American Gun Owners) were victims of the 1989 Import Ban that barred most new 'assault rifles' from entering the United States. These rifles were thus mostly exported to Canada and Australia, and as a result, appeared in television shows or movies that were filmed in those countries. Listed here are two of the variants seen in Canadian or Australian television (the Target and the Match versions). If it were not for Canadian or Australian movie armorers, most of us in the U.S. would never have known these variants existed.

==Zastava M70==

[[Image:Zastava M70AB2.jpg‎ |thumb|right|500px|Zastava M70AB2 folding stock rifle - 7.62x39mm (non-standard pistol grip)]]

The Zastava M70 was the Yugoslavian variant of the Russian AK-47 (later AKM), however, it utilized a strengthened lower receiver, more akin to the RPK than the AK-47/AKM. It also has other design variations which make it immediately recognizable from it's Russian cousin. Some of the variants also have finned barrels to aid in heat dispersion. It was made by Zavodi Crvena Zastava (Red Banner Plant), now Zastava Oružje / Zastava Arms in a Yugoslavian (now Serbian) city of Kragujevac.
It was most widely used and seen in the Wars in the 1990s of the former Yugoslavian republics - Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro (Slovenia and Macedonia were not a major combatants in the fighting). Yugoslavia also sold them to many countries such as Iraq (which produced a licensed copy known as the Tabuk, which lacked the grenade-launching sight) and Kuwait.

The Zastava M70 was produced in the following variants:

* M70 - milled receiver, fixed stock
* M70A – milled receiver, underfolding stock
* M70A1 – milled receiver, underfolding stock, mount for night or optical sights
* M70B1 – stamped receiver, fixed stock
* M70AB2 – stamped receiver, underfolding stock
* M70B1N – stamped receiver, fixed stock, mount for night or optical sights
* M70AB2N – stamped receiver, underfolding stock, mount for night or optical sights

* Variants M70B, M70AB and M70AB1 also exist, but they are rare and their specifications are unclear.

MasterBlaster: /* Remington 870 */

'''The following guns were used in the movie ''[[Black Hawk Down]]'''''
[[Image:Black hawk down ver1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|''[[Black Hawk Down]]'' (2001)]]

== Colt Commando ==

The Delta operators mainly wield the M727 and M733 variants of the Colt Commando. Staff Sgt. Daniel Busch ([[Richard Tyson]]) is the first Delta member on screen, and also the first soldier we see carrying an [[M16 rifle series#Colt Carbine/Model 653/Model 733|M727]]. All Delta members carry M727s and M733s, fitted with various accessories such as Aimpoint scopes and tactical flashlights, some of them also have M4 style barrels. Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster Waldau]]) can be seen carrying an M733 featuring a camouflage paint scheme and a sound suppressor, which is then used by Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]) to pick off several more Somalis before running out of ammunition and being overwhelmed.

===Delta Customs===
The Deltas arm themselves differently from the Rangers by using customized Colt Model 727 and 733 rifles as opposed to longer, heavier M16A2 rifles. Many are fitted with such accessories as Aimpoint scopes, tactical flashlights (with the pressure switch taped to the handguard with 100mph tape), some of them have camouflage paint schemes, and some of them are fitted with 14.5" barrels with M203 cuts (M727).

[[Image:BHDCommando-7.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Sgt. Sanderson fires his M727.]]

===Rangers===
While the Rangers are armed almost entirely with M16A2 rifles, Cpt. Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) uses an M733 rifle noted by the 11.5" barrel, with nothing modified or changed. A field medic is also seen using an M733, presumabley because he would need a lighter, more versatile weapon to move quickly to wounded soldiers.
[[Image:BHDCommando-4.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Cpt. Steele with his M733 carbine.]]

[[Image:BHDCommando-2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|A Ranger medic Sgt. Schmid with his M733 in hand.]]

===Delta Sniper===
Master Sgt. Gary Gordon uses an M733 rifle with the camo paint, scope and a light, but his is fitted with a sound suppressor. Shughart gives this rifle to the wounded Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant, who uses it before it runs out of ammo.

[[Image:BHDCommandoSuppressed-3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Mike Durant with Gordon's M733.]]

===CAR-15===
Some of the Deltas are seen using [[M16 rifle series#Colt XM177/CAR-15/Commando Series |Colt Commando CAR-15]] carbines with the original long type muzzle break, which are also heavily customized. There is a high possibility they are built from several Commando types so a definite I.D. isn't certain unless the armorer can verify it.

[[Image:BHDXM177E2-3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|A Delta fires on a .50 gunner with his CAR-15 to make him waste his ammo.]]

==Colt M4 carbine==
Hoot seems to use an [[M16 rifle series|Colt M4 carbine]] rifle with the same customizations and paint job as the Commando rifles when doing solo operations in Somalia, noted by its removable carry handle. He uses it to shoot a wild boar from a chopper, and is chastized by Cpt. Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) for keeping the weapon's safety off in the baracks. It is noted as an M4, the burst rifle varient because the M4A1, the full-auto varient had not been issued yet. The M4A1 would begin issue around 1995 or so. One of the Deltas is also seen using an M4 carbine during the operation itself.

A bit of anachronism here, both the M4 and M4A1 entered service in 1994, a year after the events of this film (in 1993), so the M4 should technically not be in Hoot's hands. The probable reason was the fact that most of the earlier M16 Carbines are hard to come by, so they needed something to fill that gap.

[[Image:BHDM4-3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|A Delta operator breaches and clears with an M4 carbine in hand. Note the removable carry handle.]]

== M60 machine gun ==
Specialist Shawn Nelson ([[Ewen Bremner]]) can be seen carrying an [[M60 machine gun]] machine gun as his standard weapon. Some of the Somalians can be seen using them as well.

== FN Minimi ==

Several Rangers can be seen carrying [[FN Minimi|FN Minimis]] throughout the film, standing in for the [[FN Minimi|M249 SAW]] (note the lack of heat shield over the top of the barrel, frame-style stock, and 90-degree carry handle). It is also the weapon used by Specialist Lance Twombly ([[Tom Hardy]]) to accidentally deafen Nelson when he fires it too close to his head. A lucky shot from a Somali also causes Twombly's extra ammo to ignite, nearly setting him on fire.

== M14 ==
The [[M14 Rifle#M14 Rifle|M14 Rifle]] is seen being used by Sergeant First Class Randy Shughart ([[Johnny Strong]]), most notably when he and Master Sgt. Gary Gordon are covering the second crash site. His M14 sports a camouflage paint scheme and an M68 Aimpoint scope.
[[Image:M14Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M14 rifle - 7.62x51mm NATO]]

==M16A1==
[[M16#M16A1 Rifle|M16A1]] rifles are seen in the Somalian arms dealer's shop and one militia member is seen loading up one. At one point, Rangers can be seen watching a portion of the film ''[[Jerk, The|The Jerk]]'' where a madman is trying to shoot the protagonist using a scoped M16A1.

==CETME==
Spanish [[CETME]] rifles are seen among the weapons in the arms dealer's shop, many of which are taken by the militia to combat the U.S. forces. They are not [[Heckler & Koch G3]]s, most notabley because they have a simple fixed sight instead of a rear sight spindle.
[[Image:cetme.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Spanish CETME rifle chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO.]]

[[Image:Bhd svd-edited.jpg|thumb|none|500px|An SVD Dragunov is seen behind Hoot.]]

== RPK ==
One of the Somalian fires on Mike Durant's Black Hawk armed with an [[RPK light machine gun]]. Its blonde furniture indicates it could be a foreign copy. The machining divots in the receiver could help indicate its origins as well.

[[Image:BHDRPK.jpg|thumb|none|500px|A Somali fires his RPK at the downed Black Hawk.]]

== RPG-7 ==

The Russian manufactured [[RPG-7]] features prominently in the film as it is the weapon which brings down a pair of Black Hawks. In one scene, a projectile from an RPG-7 strikes the driver of one of the deuce and a half trucks in Lt. Colonel Danny McKnight ([[Tom Sizemore]])'s convoy and fails to detonate, impaling the luckless soldier instead.

== Norinco Type 56-1 ==

Nearly all of the Somali gunmen are armed with the [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Norinco Type 56-1]] assault rifle, which is a Chinese derivative of the [[AK-47|AKS-47]]/[[AK-47#AKMS|AKMS]]. They are identified by the hooded front sights, which only Chinese Kalashnikov rifles have.

== AKS-74U ==

Mo'alim ([[Razaaq Adoti]]), the Somalian militia leader, carries an [[AKS-74U]] as his weapon of choice, first seen picking it up and inspecting it before heading into battle, then firing a burst into the air to break up the mob attacking one of the surviving Blackhawk pilots before announcing that he was to be taken alive as a prisoner.

== SPG-9 Recoilless Rifle ==

At one point in the film, Somalis begin to bombard the building the majority of the Rangers and Deltas have taken cover in with mortars and an [[SPG-9 recoilless rifle]]. A group of Deltas soon kill the gunners and then turn the weapon against the Somalis, killing several with one shot before destroying the weapon with a thermite grenade.

==Cobray CM203 Flare Launcher==
Many of the Ranger's [[M16 rifle series|M16A2s]] are fitted with [[Cobray 37mm Launcher|Cobray CM203 37mm Flare Launchers]], standing in for the [[M203 grenade launcher]]. Most notably seen in the hands of Sgt. Ruiz of Cpt. Steele's ([[Jason Isaacs]]) unit. See flare launcher page for a guide on telling them apart.

== M203 grenade launcher ==

While the [[Colt Flare Launcher|Cobray CM203 37mm launchers]] are fitted on most of the Ranger's [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]] rifles, a couple of actual [[M203 grenade launcher]]s attached to [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2s]] are seen, the most notable of which is Specialist John Grimes ([[Ewan McGregor]]) who assists Delta in taking out a ''technical'' that has them pinned down, missing the first shot before destroying the vehicle with a High-Explosive Dual-Purpose (HEDP) grenade from his M203.

[[Image:M203.jpg|thumb|none|350px|M203 40mm grenade launcher.]]

== M1911A1 ==
We see the [[M1911A1]] pistol in the hands of the Delta operators as their sidearm of choice. As the two Delta snipers attempt to secure the second crash site they are forced to draw their M1911A1 pistols as the overwhelming Somali forces close in on them. Another Delta operator can be seen practicing with an M1911A1 near the beginning of the film.

== Beretta M9 ==

The [[Beretta M92F#Beretta 92 FS|Beretta M9]] pistol is seen a few times in the film in the hands of Rangers, and members of McKnight's convoy. Mainly it is seen in the hands of Maddox in the Humvee. McKnight himself carries his M9 sidearm around as a proper means to defend himself.

== Heckler & Koch MP5A3 ==

Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]), a Black Hawk pilot, is armed with a [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A3|Heckler & Koch MP5A3]] with a slim forearm and uses it to defend himself after he's shot down. The MP5 was briefly issued to helicopter crews as a personal defense weapon (PDW), but was discontinued in this role when it was determined its' 9mm ammo lacked sufficient stopping power against armor-wearing or drug-crazed enemies, as was the case in Somalia. The guns is also briefly used by SFC Randy Shughart before being killed by the overwhelming militia.
In the book and real life, the weapons were actually MP5Ks. They were referred to as "Skinny Popper, a reference to the men's nickname for the Somalis.

== Browning M2HB ==
The [[Browning M2|Browning M2HB]] heavy machine gun is fielded by both the U.S. Army HMMWVs, the U.N. APCs, and the Somali militia in the film. The opening shots of the film feature Somali militiamen slaughtering a gathered crowd at a food distribution center with the powerful fifty-cal.

== M72 LAW ==

An Army Ranger, Lieutenant Tom DiTomasso, can be seen taking out a "technical" with an [[M72 LAW#|M72A3]]. The M72A3 was a Post Vietnam improved model of the M72 Rocket, and the last variation used by the U.S. Army. Upgrade versions (up to M72A7) of the LAW are being fielded by the U.S. Navy and USMC as recently as 2007.

==Remington 870==
While never used on screen, Sgt. Sanderson ([[William Fichtner]]) can be seen with a customized [[Remington 870]] Express Magnum (standing in for an 870 Police Magnum) slung over his right shoulder. A pistol grip (minus the folding stock) is used in place of the full stock. This same setup is used on a short 870 by [[Charlie Sheen]] in the movie ''[[Navy SEALs]]''.

[[Image:BHDRem870-3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Receiver reads "Express Magnum" on Sanderson's 870. In real life it would have been a sturdier Police Magnum, not the cheaper, "economy priced" Express Magnum, though both are visually identical. The police magnum is the same shotgun, but built from stronger materials and has slightly different finish.]]

== M67 Hand Grenade ==

While loading up for the assault, Hoot ([[Eric Bana]]) picks up [[M67 hand grenade|M67 fragmentation hand grenades]]. Sgt. Sanderson is later seen throwing one into a window to take out a Somali who has him and the Deltas and Rangers pinned down.
