NMOne: /* Switching modes of fire */

==Any screenshots of "new sidearms"==
So we can add to main page?

==New Sidearms confirmed!==
New article reviled.

SF has a Glock.
Ranger has the M9.
And someone we havent seen named Rabbit Has a Sig. Navy Seal im guessing

"When you play as "Rabbit" you carry a Sig. When you play as "Deuce" you carry a Glock. And when you are Dante Adams you carry the M9. These weapons can never be dropped, never run out of ammunition, and are an integral part of each character’s identity. The variety in these side arms is also intended to help give distinction and personality to each of the characters represented in "Neptune", "Wolfpack" and 1/75th Ranger"
:I have two things to say about that. One, I'm happy I wont have to look at an M9 throughout the campaign. Two, I hope they allow you to pick which pistol you use in mp since it'd effectively wouldn't change the balance at all. Just allow more individualism to the players. Did I mention I'm really tired of seeing the M9 in my games?
::Forgive Beretta if they've created one of the most successful pistols of all time, and it happens to be used by the U.S. military. So...I think either you should go design a new gun to replace it, or just live with it. Unless of course you want them to have the U.S. standard sidearm be an HK P30 just to be 'original'.

:Like most games the handguns will have different powers even if they're the same caliber, I'm betting. At least in Multiplayer anyways. Because in the level up screen you can see a level up sidearm section. And I'm hopeing only pistol are sidearms. Unlike modern 2 which had Shotguns and Machine pistols, which unbalanced the game

:You DO remember the first Modern Warfare where you can have TWO primary weapons on you, that's even worse. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 04:54, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
::Actually, MoH gives you two primaries and your secondary. Which actually isn't as bad as most would think. Some operators use a shotgun and their AR, and I'm sure having an SMG, a pistol and an M4 wouldn't be too bad, since I did it once for a test of my webgear for a review. Also, it's possible they could just use the different pistol models as just that, models. Same stats, but different appearance. --[[User:1SAZ|1SAZ]] 05:05, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

If you really think about it, having 2 Primaries on you, plus your sidearm is just too much. Maybe for a shotgun, but even then. You'd have 3 sets of reloads and it's already heavy on you. The only times An operator needs a shotgun alongside his rifle is that he needs to breach a door and no one else has a shotgun. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 05:23, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
:I agree with ya about the having 3 different reloads, but depending on the weapons, the weight isn't so bad, or at least less noticeable. Anyway, it really could be worse. They could have you carrying two different types of rocket launchers and a machine gun like you can do in the Halo series.
:At least they're making it so that you don't ditch a pistol two seconds into a level. I've always hated how any sidearm looses all use less than a minute into a game.--[[User:1SAZ|1SAZ]] 06:01, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Am I the only one here distressed by the ''unlimited ammo'' aspect of the sidearms? This game is getting to be more and more ridiculous as it is. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 10:26, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

: Remember MW2 ? 400 rounds was total standard. And there isnt any true difference between ''unlimited'' and 400.

I liked it back when you can keep your sidearm and just pick up another primary. Sure it's a bit unrealistic to be carrying the max ammo for that gun, but not as unrealistic as dropping your handgun for a shotgun [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 14:40, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
:''The setup that Army of Two had was kinda neat. One primary (usually an assault rifle), your sidearm (a handgun or machine pistol), and a special weapon, like a sniper rifle or launcher of some sort - the special weapon usually had the least amount of ammo available. I'd like to see that for a game like this, and frankly, it'd make a lot more sense (I know about Rainbow Six: Vegas, but I'm quite unimpressed with how that game flows to be honest with you). When going into heavy combat, I'd like to have some kind of quickly accessible sidearm for when the shit well and truly hits the fan. If my main weapon runs dry and I need to switch, the backup shouldn't be a long gun that's equally as...cumbersome to bear as the rifle was (MW2, I'm looking at you). As for unlimited ammo, well, that's a tough one for me. Sometimes I really like having that capability (such as in Splinter Cell: Conviction with their sidearms). Other times, well, it's nice to know that I can't just fire all willy-nilly and carefree, because then I'll be out of ammo. I think that it should be an unlockable bonus - like Saints Row 2 or Resident Evil 5. Give people the option to play with it on or off, if they choose. Just don't glitch it like CoD4 did. --[[User:Clutch|Clutch]] 22:00, 2 September 2010 (UTC)''

Where was it shown you get two primarys? Pretty sure its one primary and sidearm. Ive never seen or read about that in this game.

Two primary weapons in SP. One in MP.

Two primaries can make sense, a barett 82 and m240 makes no sense, but if you are using m24 or m40, it would make sense to carry an m4 for defense when your close up instead of room clearing with a bolt action.

==Possible 1911==
Settle an argument for me lads. Picture below, Possible 1911 if the standard Taliban Grach? [http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs544.ash1/31810_408238329053_135747814053_4185509_6821919_n.jpg] I doubt we can go by bore aperture on this one.--[[User:Jackie.45Cal|Jackie.45Cal]] 00:48, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

==Knife?==

I watched the "Leave a Message" trailer recently. I think one of the Rangers had a Gerber LMF II knife attached to his MOLLE vest. I own this same knife which is why it caught my eye.
:Maybe so, but we need to avoid putting knives down. Yes, the MW2 page as well as some others have knives, but I'm in favor of removing said knives from said pages entirely. The site is called Internet Movie '''Firearms''' Database for a reason. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 06:00, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
I prefer it to have ALL weapons listed its interesting and gives more content.
:''In that case, list it here in the discussion page when the game releases. A great example of this is the page for 2004's The Punisher. GM45 (I think it was him) took great care to screencap the variety of knives that movie had and list them there (among other things). But he left the main body of the page for the guns, which is why people come to this website.'' --[[User:Clutch|Clutch]] 22:03, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

==beta release date?==

When will 360 beta be out? I keep hearing within a week but have seen no announcements by the company.
:http://twitter.com/medalofhonor
:http://twitter.com/pottan

Both links failed, and im getting pissed waiting, gives you high hopes for the games multiplayer when a short beta is this delayed......

I heard somewhere they're going to run it after they fix the bugs from the PS3/PC Betas, after they're done, because it will allow them to find new problems and because it saves money. [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 21:38, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

==weapon balance==

i just saw the 12 round beretta mentioned i think they did that for balance reasons. Another game too focused on fairness. God forbid you unlock a gun later on that just owns.

-k9870

Yeah its kind of annoying when its that balanced, at least you could pretend its the .40, but I wouldn't even know what to do with the Grach, its named the Tariq (which is something else) and has 12 rounds too, when its supposed to have 17. Wait, couldn't they both just have been 16 to be in between? If I WAS going to make an overly balanced system like this, I'd try to make it close, why take them both down to 12? [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 19:38, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
::Pretend it's the .40 too

Haha too bad there isn't one... WAIT! If you really want to stretch it you could pretend its the compact MP-448, 12 rounds of 9x18mm lol :D [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 03:02, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

I hate when the do something like "the m4 has 20 power and 30 fire rate, the AK has 30 power and 20 fire rate, so there balanced. Then they go weapon x is more accurate than weapon y since its weaker and needs an advantage. I wish when you leveled up you had guns with good advantages that just own.

-k9870

I want a game that keeps the round in the chamber, keeps track of your extra mags (not the one big number bullshit), all the functions to be right, none of the guns to be set in a firing mode they're not in, the ability to switch modes to whatever that weapon has, the correct attachments (no AKs with ACOGs, or M14s and G3s with M203s), the correct animations for reloads, correct fire rates, correct mag capacities, correct zooms on scopes and no zoom on reflex sights/irons sights, its not really too much to ask I don't think. The only thing that would be arguable would be damage stuff does, but for the MOST part if you used the calibre measurement as the damage it would work (i.e. 5.56mm does about 22 damage, 7.62mm does 30, .50 does 50) it's not perfect but I at least want the guns with the same calibres to do the same damage... Rant done. [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 22:38, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
:There is a game for you, it's called ArmA. Mainstream arcadey FPS won't have all these features. But I agree at least counting bullet up the pipe would be nice touch. That always bugged me too. I have no idea why CoD games still doesn't have this. Anyway, ACOG (or any other weaver optic) on AK is not a problem via special mount. 203 on G3 and M14 is possible too.

Oh believe me, I wouldn't need ALL that, I still play the mainstream FPSs, it would just be nice, I just kept going with the list ;) And I do know you can technically put an ACOG on an AK or a 203 on the M14 or G3, but it would be nice to see the things that are supposed to be there... there, like the HK79. The attachments thing certainly wouldn't be as important to me as the round in the chamber, and I don't think guns of the same calibre having the same damage would be too much, its not that would take any extra effort... [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 05:19, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
:Same caliber doesn't always do same damage when shot from different barrels. M16 and M4 is a good example. In case with M16 bullet tumble and fragment thus making more damage, but when the same ammo shot from M4 it does not.

I knew that but didn't want to make my posts too long ;)That's fair, I meant more the stuff that doesn't make sense, like a 12 gauge that does more damage than another 12 gauge because it's pump action vs semi-auto, or like in Modern Warfare 2, which is the game I'm mostly complaning about, the F2000 has a 15.7" barrel and does 30 damage, while the TAR-21 has an 18.1" does 40, I know the idea of damage as a numerical system like this isn't realistic in a lot of ways, but it's the best anyone has been able to come up with so far, and I wouldn't think 2.4 inches of barrel would make that much of a difference. Put it this way, out of the 9 assault rifles in that game there are only 3 different damages, the 30, 40, and 55, keep in mind that the calibres here are 5.56, 7.62, and 7.62 NATO: the M4, ACR, and F2000 do 30, the FAMAS, SCAR, TAR-21, M16A4, and AK-47 do the same (lol what?) at 40, and the FAL does a whopping 55 (because its semi). But the single worst is the UMP and Super V, both .45s with a comparible barrel length, the UMP does 40 (again) and the the Super V does... 25. I know there should be differences but this makes NO SENSE. Sorry, I know this is the Medal Of Honor page, but everyone here seems smarter... [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 07:34, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
:It's not a simulator. They needed to differentiate gun's performance. Besides, most people playing it doesn't know shit which caliber it shoots. So probably it's better to just get over it. Try playing hardcore mode and weapon damage won't bother you so much.

I know :) it doesn't really matter too much, it would just be nice, but I'm not expecting it though lol [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 06:40, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

seriously, no 1911 very disapointing. it might be outdated but Special Forces still use them. [[User:Dirtdiver6421|Dirtdiver6421]] 00:11, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Who said there won't be a 1911 in the final game? This isn't the final game. [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 00:45, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
i dont know. i just figured since its not on the page already they wouldnt have it. but i hope they do. its a great gun and is used by Spec Ops. [[User:Dirtdiver6421|Dirtdiver6421]] 00:46, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
i think that all the comparisons come from MW2 because it has an overwhelming amount of flaws. for example- what has been previously stated. and does anyone else find it peculiar that all assault rifles lose the front sight when optics are attached? knowone would do that its stupid. what if there was a long battle and you ran out of battery on a dime, nope your dead now. and i kind of agree with the lack of a back sight because it takes away the point of the reflex being quick if you have to line 3 things to a target instead of the 1-2 or a normal rifle.

==First Part==

This game looks very promising in terms of realism and graphics compared to the other games. I'm excited to see that the game developers are working with REAL special forces operators. The game comes out in Fall 2010. CAN'T FREAKIN WAIT!!!!!!- ArmoredMason619

I've always had a soft spot with this series. I really hope they knock it out of the park with this one.

I'm guessing the guy on the front cover is a Green Beret?-- [[User:John Ryder|John Ryder]]

:For some reason I though the guy on the front page was a PMC --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 05:28, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Na he is a Green Beret. That's the way they look when they are in a combat zone. They have to grow out a beard and dress like the civilians/insurgents in that particular area.-ArmoredMason619

A World War II shooter series is switching to a modern setting? It'll never work.
:Your kidding right...and sign your posts --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 23:25, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

The graphics appear to be on par with ''[[America's Army 3]]'', though hopefully it'll have less problems and a better weapon selection. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 23:36, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

The trailer had what looked like an [[FN Minimi#M249-E1 / M249-E2 / M249 Paratrooper SAW|M249 SAW]] variant fitted with an EOTech red dot sight, but I only saw it for a second looking down the sights in first-person mode so couldn't determine wether it was a standard SAW or specialized version like the Paratrooper or [[FN Minimi#FN Minimi SPW|SPW]]. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 23:42, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

I added a screen of the M4A1 and the Minimi/SAw possibilty. --[[User:TheCrazyGunNut|TheCrazyGunNut]]

Ah, cheap EA.. This is so obvious that they are doing this because of MW success. Won't buy just because of this fact.

Or because WWII has been overdone and they wanted to do something else. --[[User:Crazycrankle|Crazycrankle]] 02:42, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

20th century saw so many wars. They could pick any one. The most suitable would be Vietnam war. I can't recall many good games about this conflict. It could be about SF also.

How about Vietcong? http://www.imfdb.org/index.php?title=Vietcong In my personal oppinion the best PC game from Vietnam conflict up to date. I know that the Vietcong wasn't perfect but other games usually wasted their potential (e.g. Conflict Vietnam, Men of Valor) ended as a low quality budget (first Shellshock 67 and many others) or as some crazy VC/NVA-zombie kill fest (recent Shellshock 2).

I agree that there were many other "interesting" conflicts or suitable theathers for FPS games but "supply is influenced by demand". The "anti-terrorist" theme is actual and developers don't want to risk introducing a game that "nobody would want to play". Remember it's all about the money. Actually it's quite strange that if I look backwards I can't recall any good or partially realistic FPS from Afganistan or Iraq theatre - Modern Warefare, appart from other parts of the story, was set partialy in the Middle East but in some fictisious country (and that *** spoliler *** nuking of the whole Marine division *** spoiler *** was complete bullshit) and Modern Warefare 2 was about hunting down some crazy Russian ultranationalists (and *** spoiler *** one rouge American general *** spoiler *** that was bullshit as well). No offence to Call of Duty but I personally hope that Medal of Honor would not turn into such killfest of stupid AI NPC duchebags thrown in absolutely ridiculous waves into a single coridor where you have to kill more than 70 opponents on less than 100 square feet ...

:::Wow, so doing something original is bullshit? I mean, come on; I'd rather shoot 70 guys in a single cooridor than simply go from cave to cave, shooting the occasional militant, or riding about in my vehicle until I hit a bomb and get ambushed. Generic examples I know, but put simply, fighting a military-trained, fully-equipped soldier is a lot more exciting than some fanatical militant using 30-year-old weapons. Heck, even America's Army created a fictional enemy for the US Army to fight.

Judging by what I'm seeing in the trailer this is going to be far from any CoD style of modern warfare. This shit looks seriously hardcore in terms of trying to replicate some actual Iraq/Afghanistan gameplay. I guess only time will tell. Hopefully by then they fix the damn gas block thing. Fuck that pisses me off. These guys are working with tier 1 operators but they don't want to model the damn gun correctly. Anybody with even slight knowledge of an AR-15 platform would notice this error. It's a big frickin error.[[User:ShaDow XPS|ShaDow XPS]]

:::"replicate actual Iraq/Afghanistan gameplay"? So coalition forces playing in a sandbox there? And duh, there is a gas-block, it's just too low-profile and you cannot see it.

::::Even if the gas block isn't there, does it really matter? The average gamer probably doesn't know, or care, what a gas block is, let alone whether it's actually there or not; and the Medal of Honor series goes for what looks cool (such as the Flak Tower in Airborne), not what's realistic.

Don't change the intent of my words. Let me rephrase :::"replicate some actual Iraq/Afghanistan fighting into gameplay." There happy? As well the use of a low profile gas block seems like an excuse. What are the chances that every M4 has a low profile gas block when there are attached optics?[[User:ShaDow XPS|ShaDow XPS]]
:::Why not? It's a game about hi-speed low-drag tear1 omfgd3ltasealz special forces operators.
::::That's ''Tier'' 1. And even a low-profile gas block would still be visible on the barrel where the standard FSP would be due to the length of the gas tube. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 01:17, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

^ At 0:56, 1:04, 1:16 you can see a stock, body, and barrel of a M14 EBR.
At O:43 you can see what I believe to be some kind of M240.*EDIT: Mk 46 Mod 0*
All along the trailer are M4s with optics and different accessories. -DeltaOp
:Was the Mark 14 EBR even fielded yet in 2002? [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 01:17, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

- Nope. EBR was designed around that date - 2001/2002 but first units (mostly from Navy Seals) were issued this rifle later on in 2004. So it's probably another game inaccuracy.

Who said it was set in 2002? And the gas block isn't removed for optics like in Call Of Duty, it's removed when the M203's flip up sight is on top, I'm thinking it's not to block that, not that I think it would block it, but that's when it's not there, not because of optics. EDIT: Wow my bad, it is set then, and I was thinking the M203 was an attachment, but its fixed on like in BFBC2, wow, I feel dumb lol. EDIT #2: I figured it out, the M16 removes the front sight for optics, but the M4 doesn't. Odd. [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 08:01, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

:Lmao. Oh i didnt think of that one. -[[User:The_Winchester|Winn]]

Anyone think its kinda odd that the Rangers seem to be doing alot of the work. along with the Green Beret. Wouldnt Delta Force/Navy SEALs be doing most of the stuff?

1st SFOD-D and Navy SEALs are, let's say, "equal" to Special Forces concerning their roles within US SOCOM. They are highly trained operators used for specific and "delicate" stuff. Rangers are more like muscless used for more "dirty" tasks. In reality, you would rather send a Special Forces A-Team to do cool things like - to recon the enemy airfield, to pin point potential high-value targets, to set observation post for calling CAS missions or to set sniping posts with 18B class operators with sniper rifles; while few C-130s packed with Ranger chalks would wait to "go-order" so they can jump in, do all the hard work and blow the enemy to pieces. Special Forces (Delta/SEALs etc.) are too valuable for such things. Even though, they are capable of kicking some serious ass, it is not practical to "mass" several A- or SEAL teams for a task, which bunch of Ranger squads could do better.[Ragnar]

okay thats true, but i just dont see why there wouldnt be SOME Operators or SEALs, think about this. Rangers are like the backbone of USSOCOM, Green Berets, are trained in Reconaissance, but if u want to kick some serious Taliban ass, u send in Operators or SEALs, because they excel at kickin' the door down, and opening up some whoop-ass.

but really, i no Delta is more of a mission specific unit, but seriously what is America's best military asset? 1stSFOD-D. why? because they have close to 500 Operators, the best in the world. and officially they dont exist. political bull shit in the way, no problemo. they dont exist. its denieble if you send them in.[[Special:Contributions/71.194.219.9|71.194.219.9]] 19:03, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

== Guns revealed in multi-player demo at E3 ==
(These are just what I could spot while watching it on TV)
*Beretta 92FS/M9 (not a 92SB like in CoD, had the squared-off trigger guard)
*Pump-action shotgun I couldn't identify (they only showed it from the back)
*Bolt-action sniper rifle, presumably a Remington M24 (only saw it from the back and right side as the player was working the bolt)
*Not actually a new gun, but the M4A1 also had a low-profile front BUIS mounted on the RIS is some scenes

==Spliting into sections ==
Wont it make sence to make two sections ? One with MP´s guns and one with SP´s guns. I think it will - because they dont use same engine, so guns can be different.

Why would the single player and multiplayer use different engines? That makes no sense. It would make the modelers have to model everything twice, and take up twice as much space on disc. No. We're not going to do that.-protoAuthor 19:35, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

: It '''USES''' different engines. MP is running on frostbite, and SP is running on UT3 one.

Not sure if i'm doing this right, but yes it uses different engines, and the modelers do not have to model everything twice, they can easily import it from a common format to both engine's formats, PSK Mesh (or something) for UT3, and a new version of bundledmesh contained in RES files for frostbite. You don't have to model it twice, you just export within both engines.

:It still makes no sense to split up the page. But thank you for enlightening me to something that still makes no sense to me. Why would they do that?-protoAuthor 16:54, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

The only reason i could possibly see would be to make a comparable multiplayer experience for BFBC2 players, And they might have already started building singleplayer on the unreal engine, which most if not all of the previous MoH games used. In my opinion, it shouldn't be split either, means some firearms would be listed twice. btw this isn't the original poster, this is the guy from the post before proto's last.

: Ok than. It doesnt have to be split, but there should be atlest writed to each screenshot " This is from Multiplayer/ Singleplayer". And just one little '''BTW''': They modelled it twice. As you can see, M4 or MK46 '''''HAVE''''' different models.

That's because the M4 and Mk. 46 are different guns, silly.-protoAuthor 04:00, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

:Heh. I mean that M4 looks different in SP and MP. Same with Mk.46

They do look different but I think its just because one sets from that first trailer a while ago, game's graphics always get better as develpment keeps going, but you might be right to, I was just throwing that out there. [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 08:00, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

== LMG Special Weapons ==

In the sniper class you get C4, in the special ops class you get a rocket, and with an assault rifle in the rifleman class you get a launcher... so what do you get if you equip an LMG? [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 09:56, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

== Best of 3 shooters? ==

I have to say, out of the 3 FPS games that will be coming out in Q4 (this one, Spec Ops: The Line, and CoD: Black Ops), I am looking forward to Medal of Honor the most. From what I've seen about the other two, they look like they're filled with sensationalist b.s. . -Any Mouse

:MoH looks WAY to much like Bad Company 2, and I think it's EAs fault. They want to capitalize on the modern warfare craze so much, they're using another popular series to boost sales. To be honest, MOH looks like BC2 with Taliban, and I'll most likely not be getting it. [[User:M14fanboy|M14fanboy]]

Medal of honor is not going to be way too much like BC2 because the gameplay will be much more tactical and realistic. Like real modern warfare.

:Says you man. Face it, it's going to be bought by the same type of people who buy MW2 and BC2, mostly idiot kids ranging from 10 to 15 who just wanna get four man sprays and noob tubes across the map. This is a console FPS that can be bought by anyone, and has nothing to offer that will make it overly unique, so it will end up like MW2 and BC2, noob weapons will arise, and it will just be another chaotic FPS. [[User:M14fanboy|M14fanboy]]
:You got a point there.

Spec Ops: the Line is a third person shooter, not an FPS.

Sorry, my bad. I thought it was one of those deals like Fallout 3 where you could switch from first-to-third-person and back -Any Mouse

== Animations ==

I know this is off-topic, but am I the only one bothered by the way your character moves? If a gun is bouncing around in your hands while you move like that, there's gotta be something wrong...

I think that only happens in multiplayer due to it being a different engine, but yeah it is weird

I was really psyched about the game untill i found out it was made by the people who made BF-BD2. you said it was a different engine. does that mean that it will be different creators or what? [[User:Dirtdiver6421|Dirtdiver6421]] 17:04, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Mp is made by BC2 (''not BD2'' ) creators - DICE. So it means only good part on that game will be SP - developed by EA on UT3 engine.

== Full Auto M16A4 ==

Wouldn't having an M16A4 on full auto make it a C7A1? I know there are a few other differences, but they're all internal, it's the only difference visible in some way. [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 18:23, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

:Well I would have said M16A3, but those didn't have rails. So yes, the only M16 variant that has an RIS system and goes full-auto is the C7A2, so indeed this new game uses a C7. [[User:M14fanboy|M14fanboy]]

::M16A4 with FA lower - what could be easier

:Personally, I wouldn't call "full-auto" M16A4 a C7A2. C7A2 has some, more or less significant, differences - e.g. ambidextrous fire selector or retractable stock. Plus Canadian military did not use full length RIS systems (e.g. like King Arms M5 on M16A4) on their C7s. Full-auto M16A4 is just another game-developer inaccuracy created by lack of knowledge about firearms. Unfortunately, it's a trend in nowadays mainstream FPS like Modern Warfare or Battlefield Bad Company. Game developers just give a sh*t about this stuff. 13-year-old kids screaming and b*tching in multiplayer would not notice the difference. [Ragnar]

::The M5 RAS on the M16A4 is made by KAC, not King Arms. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 11:33, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Of course I realize that having it full auto is just a screw up, like in most movies, and I'm not talking about the C7A2, with the green furniture and ambi controls, I meant the C7A1, which is the same in terms of appearance. Here's one without an ELCAN, because I know someone will complain about that:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/7/76/20080716042205!C7A1_with_IronSights.JPG
Oh and you can put the KAC Rails on any M16-length AR, so that's not really an issue, some of the C7A1s (like the one pictured) had them put on before the C7A2 was introduced with the TRIAD. [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 18:22, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

:It could be a C7, but really, it's just EA's lack of knowledge about weapons, cause full auto is what every assault rifle shoots, right? Man, games like Call of Duty 4 tried their best to keep weapons accurate, now it's all about tacticool weapons that fire full auto and have cool sights and nice finishes. [[User:M14fanboy|M14fanboy]]

Yeah I know, and guns don't need to be re-chambered after they run empty too :p in this and Bad Company 2, it's kind of distracting when I'm playing to be honest, well, I've gotten used to it a little more by now. Okay what I don't get is why can't it be listed as a C7A1? Or at least mentioned... If there was an gun listed as an M4 (not A1) and it was firing full auto you guys would have no problem saying it's actually an M4A1, or an AK-47 is really an AKM, so why can't the M16 really be a C7? I realize it's just a mistake on the developer's part, but that doesn't stop us pointing out the other ones... [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 16:56, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

:I think it would be a good idea if we mentioned that in reality, this would class it as a C7A1 etc. [[User:Hoot471|Hoot471]] 18:26, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Has there even ever been any instances of a burst-firing M4 used in any movie or video game? At any rate, I think just noting that it's inaccurately portrayed as full auto is enough. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 20:43, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

:Well if you talk to the Green Beret on Deadliest Warrior, he'll tell you the M4 can go burst AND full auto! But yeah, just classify the M16 in MOH as a C7A1, cause in reality that's what it is. [[User:M14fanboy|M14fanboy]]

''Well if you talk to the Green Beret on Deadliest Warrior, he'll tell you the M4 can go burst AND full auto!'' - Believe it or not, 4-position selectors for AR-15 type rifles exist. There should be a link to the patent in the Season 2 discussion. --[[User:HashiriyaR32|HashiriyaR32]] 22:44, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

The so-called "Green Berets" on that show were idiot actors who didn't do their research, so I don't really give a crap about what they say. The M4A1 as used by the US military is safe/semi/auto, no burst. 4-pos selectors may exist, but the US military does not use them. That also wasn't an answer my question. ''Have there ever been any instances of a burst-firing M4 used in any movie or video game?'' By "burst-firing M4", I mean the M4 with M16A2/A4 trigger group as issued en mass to regular US Army troops. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 07:01, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

I only know of two games that have M4s with the A2/A4 trigger group. There's one of the Call of Duty Modern Warfare games for the Nintendo DS, and then there's the Battlefield 2 mod [[Project Reality]], where it features both burst-firing M4s for the Americans and full-auto M4A1s for the Israelis.--[[User:HashiriyaR32|HashiriyaR32]] 16:58, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

:Thank you, that ''did'' answer my question. Also, lol @the thread on EA Forums. That was a pretty entertaining read. Though I quite disagree with the guy who claims you can't know anything about an M16 or other firearm without having handled or used one. I've never handled an M16, but I still know the difference between an A1, A2, A3, and A4. Good thing I quit bothering with that place within the first few days I registered, otherwise I'd probably be ankle-deep in that ****storm. XD [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 22:52, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure the MP5 is shown at one point in the trailer. I'd have to look at the trailer again to find the exact point, but I'll update when I do find the time stamp. Lets hope we see the MP5 in multiplayer as well as the campaign if my spot is correct.

:::After re-watching the video for the 17th or so time, the weapon I thought was the MP5 was just an MP7 that blended a little too well into the vest. That said, I did notice that one of the Rangers in the trailer was using an Aimpoint M68 (Comp M2) sight on his M4A1. Possibly another sight option? Who knows. I just know I'm excited for this game.

It's an M4 kitted out with an EOTech 552, KAC Free-Float RAS, PEQ-2A, and KAC broomstick. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 05:52, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

According to the Walkthrough trailor for the first mission this is CQB-R verzion of the M4A1.

==Unimpressed....==

Anybody else feel unimpressed looking at this game? I mean, nothing about it really stands out to me. The firearm selection is trite and cliche, the modern military tacticool spec ops motif has been done far too much, and so has the idea of weapon customization. Honestly, when I saw this game I just kinda yawned and moved on. -- K [[Special:Contributions/98.118.59.244|98.118.59.244]] 19:22, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
: About that firearms choose : So you would give terrorists XM8´s, just because its cliche in video games ? No. So why not give them weapons they use in real ?
: No I wouldn't, unless a terrorist militia could plausibly get it hand's on a bunch of HK weapons. I'm just sort of sick of seeing the same stuff over and over and over. -- K [[Special:Contributions/98.118.59.244|98.118.59.244]] 09:15, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

:I actually see this as a good change from Modern Warfare and Bad Company rather than yet another tacticool game. Sure, most of it has been done, but so has most other games. At least its not YET another World War 2 sim.--[[User:1SAZ|1SAZ]] 20:41, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

But see, that's the whole thing. Instead of "yet another WW2 sim," it's become "yet another Spec Ops shooter." And for the record, I liked Bad Company, and I don't see how this will be any different. -- K [[Special:Contributions/98.118.59.244|98.118.59.244]] 23:30, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

I am truly impressed with this game. Lets talk about it as MW2 on steroids :

:'''Much more realistic''' ('' Cmon, Russians with tavors and milita with tactical AK´s ?'' )

:'''Much better atmosphere''' ( ''That attempt to make everything cool just failed. Also enviroment wasnt the best seriously'' )

:'''Better Gameplay''' ( ''It probably wont be just about shooting thousands of enemy troops. Also helicopter. Probably even some AI will be included ?'' )

Then I better get this for my 360 then PC, cause the graphics are just as high as BC 2 so it'll mess with my PC. The Multiplayer was designed by the same guys who did Bad Company, so we see a lot of their handy work. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 05:42, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Well, comparing ANYTHING to MW2 instantly makes it better. And if what excalibur says is true, then I'm inclined to go with what everybody else has been saying and write it off as Bad Company 2 with Taliban. -- K [[Special:Contributions/98.118.59.244|98.118.59.244]] 11:07, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

I just find it odd that they'd get a completely different group to do the multiplayer and when you look at the multiplayer, it feels like MW2 but with a different game engine. The point and level up system is essentially the same, but the classes are almost the same from Bad Company. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 02:29, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Everyone, this is a video game. Nobody cares how realistic or how the story is, if you can shoot thing and take control of an over exaggeration of our armed forces, then people will buy it no matter what; it sells.

We care! Unrealistic video games do not bother us, but a video game that is suppose to be realistic and ends up not being realistic does bother us. This is IMFDB, we are suppose to judge how realistic weapons are in media. The SkinnyWhiteGuy from the RE: Extinction discussion.

In the killfeed, there is two weapons tht are unknown to most people one is called Axe (whether we get Custom Melee weapons is uncertain) and the other is HG No full name just an abbrieviation of HG.

I recall someone mentioning that the axe was the Taliban's equivalent of the knife for multiplayer. --[[User:HashiriyaR32|HashiriyaR32]] 19:03, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Oh yeah, the dirks use a hachet instead of a knife in the beta, kinda funny. [[User:BeardedHoplite|BeardedHoplite]] 21:01, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

HG could be short for hand granade

Hmm could be, but I think Grenades on the killfeed appear as either GRENADE or an explosion/grenade symbol, ill rewatch the video(s) and look for any indication that HG is something other than a Hand Grenade [[User:WhatARandomer|WhatARandomer]] 12:50, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Updated the page with weapons seen in the new MP trailer. --[[User:HashiriyaR32|HashiriyaR32]] 19:15, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

==Games in Steven Speilberg category?==
Should we put all of the MoH games into the Steven Speilberg category as he's the creator of the series? - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] 23:11, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Well are there any credits for Speilberg having a hand in THIS Medal of Honor game? [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 20:09, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

:Wikipedia just says that he's the creator of the series, not a designer of the series. - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] 21:19, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Sure, but did he have a hand in this one? Just because he created the series, doesn't mean he's been behind the entire series up to now. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 02:18, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

==Graphical Engine for the game==
I was watching a video on Medal of Honor and it stated that the single-player campaign is using the Unreal 3 Engine and the multiplayer will be using the Frostbite Engine (made famous by Bad Company). Just thought you guys would like to know! [[User:SeanWolf]]

This doesn't make sense. Why make the singleplayer with one engine and use a completely different engine for multiplayer? [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 02:21, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

:Old news, buddy. Maybe you should change your username to SeanSlowpoke. I keed, but not much.-protoAuthor 02:23, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
:Hey dont blame me..i just found out about that when i was watching a video about the game. Plus, i usually dont hear about video game news until the day after, so yeah. But still, yeah it doesnt make sense to use two different graphical engines for the game but who knows... [[User:SeanWolf]]

The reason for this is EA: LA are incharge of Singleplayer, and DICE are incharge of multiplayer, both using engines they're familiar with. [[User:WhatARandomer|WhatARandomer]] 08:05, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

==SR25/M110?==
I found this picture on IGN: http://pc.ign.com/dor/objects/37294/medal-of-honor-2010/images/medal-of-honor-20100915112209436.html
Anyone want to confirm or deny? -Chris_Hun7er 2:32, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
:Why yes, yes it is.[[Special:Contributions/99.141.250.128|99.141.250.128]] 01:44, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
::It looks an M110 SASS. --[[User:Pz.Abt.100|Kilo 1-1]] 16:21, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
::Could be an SR-25 depending on what year this took place, the M110 might not have been out at the time and it is technically the same weapon system. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 14:46, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

==Getting screenshots==
Hey, anyone figure out how to take screenshots in the PC version? I'm trying to get pics to replace the existing ones for the AK-47, SVD clone, and the M21. Print-screen doesn't seem to be the right key. --[[User:HashiriyaR32|HashiriyaR32]] 02:57, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Download "FRAPS" or some similar utility, and use that instead. Print Screen doesn't generally work in games I'm afraid.--[[Special:Contributions/94.168.169.251|94.168.169.251]] 05:34, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the hint. I just uploaded a few of my own screens for the PKM and the NDM-86. EDIT: Am I the only BETA player here that's updating this page? There's gotta be at least thousands of players out there in the beta right now. --[[User:HashiriyaR32|HashiriyaR32]] 23:42, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Didnt the beta end?

It should ending some time today. --[[User:HashiriyaR32|HashiriyaR32]] 17:51, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Hashiriya if you plan on getting it for computer and want screen shots you should no that xfire (find it at www.xfire.com) allows you to talk and chat ingame and also take screenshots and videoos. its free and easy. it doesnt take much memory and if you want to try it as i said tis free and i believe its scroll lock x or s to take a screen pic.

AK-47 in Campaign seems to be AMD-65 ==

Hey, If you watch this guy's single player videos he eventually picks up and AK in vid 12[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKPRn75kD-Y&feature=watch_response]. This 'AK-47' is an AMD-65. Take a look.

: Holeeey amazing sh*t. Random AK variants under AK47 ? This game is awesome.

== SR25? ==

I found this in the 'Friends from afar' tralier, is this the SR25? -GunGunGun

http://www.imfdb.org/images/0/0a/SR25%3F.jpg

I think it's M110 but because the M110 entered service in 2008 and the game take place in 2001-2002, it's supposed to be the SR-25 with desert camouflage. If you didn't noticed, someone else posted a comment about it, but it's OK. --[[User:RaNgeR|RaNgeR]] 16:28, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Oh its OK is it? thanks! your very kind! --[[User:GunGunGun|GunGunGun]] 18:56, 11 October 2010 (GMT)

Well when does this game take place? [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 18:06, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

The game takes place between 2001 and 2002; during the first days of the invasion to Afghanistan and during "Operation Anaconda" when the United States, NATO, non NATO and allied Afghanistan forces worked together to take down the Taliban and Al-Qaeda terror organizations and to kill/capture Osama Bin-Laden... This operation was mainly based around special operations units which we are going to play them in-game (Rangers, Special Forces and if I'm not mistaken, Navy SEALs too). As I said about the weapon: Because the game takes place around 2001 and/or 2002, it is supposed to be the SR-25 as it was issued since the '90 and the M110 only has been issued from 2008. But, because it's a game, the developers don't really mind about the '''exact''' weapons that was supposed to be used during this events. Let's take for example the MP7A1: It has been produced from 2001, but it wasn't issued in the United States nor other countries during the events of the game, but the way I see it, because it was produced from 2001 and the game takes place in 2001, so the developers decided to put the MP7A1 in even so it's not issued. --[[User:RaNgeR|RaNgeR]] 21:00, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

::The MP7 may not have been issued during that timeframe but that doesn't mean it wasn't specifically requested by SOCOM units. [[User:NMOne|NMOne]] 02:08, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Well by all technicality, the M110 and the SR-25 are the exact same rifle with very minor differences [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 21:42, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

My understanding that the games events take place during the first three years of the war.--[[Special:Contributions/81.96.200.164|81.96.200.164]] 01:32, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

So technically unless it is stated, this rifle should be called the SR-25 [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 02:34, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

== Switching modes of fire ==

Watched the First Hour on Gametrailers.com and it showed you can changed the fire mode for a weapon from semi to full auto on the fly. This is awesome [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 03:38, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Yep. All you do is simply tap the Right D-pad key and watch the bullet icon change. I did this accidentally to myself and wondered why my M4 had gone from rock n' roll to single shot. [[User:NMOne|NMOne]] 03:48, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

==Beretta 92FS==

The [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta 92F/FS|Beretta 92FS]] appears in the game as the "92FS", and can be modified with silencer, laser and high capacity magazines like the other pistols. It can be seen as the sidearm used by the LVPD SWAT officers and terrorists in game. Interestingly, the in-game 92FS has a skeleton hammer as opposed to the standard ring hammer. Also note that in all of the screencaps below, the safety switch is on. Oops.

Has anyone else noticed when you hold the 92FS in first person the player is using an unusually low grip? about 1/4 of the backstrap is visible

==Heckler & Koch USP==

The [[Heckler & Koch USP]] appears in the game as the .40 caliber variant "USP 40.", and can be modified with silencer, laser and high capacity magazines like the other pistols. It is used by some of the Rainbow operatives.

[[Image:H&KUSP40.jpg|thumb|300px|none|Heckler & Koch USP .40 S&W]]

==IMI Desert Eagle XIX==

The [[Desert Eagle]] appears in the game, it can be modified with laser and high capacity magazines, but not a silencer. It is the side arm of some terrorists in game.
[[Image:DesertEagle50AE.jpg|thumb|300px|none|IMI Desert Eagle XIX, .50 Action Express]]

[[Image:RSV2deserteaglereload.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The Desert Eagles being reloaded in the game equipped with a laser sight.]]

==Taurus Raging Bull==

The [[Taurus Raging Bull]] revolver appears in the game, it can only be modified with a laser. It is used as a sidearm by some of the terrorists in game. The one used in the game is chambered for .44 magnum, as that is the only caliber that has a 6 round capacity.

[[Image:Rb1.jpg‎|thumb|300px|none|Taurus Raging Bull, .454 Casull]]

==Heckler & Koch Mk 23 Mod 0==

The [[Heckler & Koch Mk 23 Mod 0]] appears in the game, and can be modified like all the pistols. It is the most popular pistol on online servers. In game it is the standard sidearm used by the Rainbow team.

[[Image:Mk23.jpg‎|thumb|300px|none|Heckler & Koch Mk 23 Mod 0 .45 ACP]]

==Glock 18==

The [[Glock#Glock 18|Glock 18]] appears in the game and can be modified with a laser pointer and high capacity magazines. It is used by a sidearm by some terrorists. It features a full-auto fire mode unique among the pistols of the game. Standard magazine is 10 rounds though using the extended magazine attachment gives it the correct factory magazine with 17 bullets, the largest magazine capacity of the Glocks are 33 rounds. The real world model used for the gun in the game is a KWA airsoft g18c, evidence by the built in compensator on the top (only seen in the airsoft gun) and the lack of engravings. An interesting note about this gun is that when it is fired the breach is never opened, rather the integrated compensator open up and releases the spent shell/s (this is of course not the case with the real weapon.)

==Walther P99==

The [[Walther P99]] appears in the game (as the version chambered for the .40 S&W cartridge), and can be modified like all the pistols. It is (quite rarely) seen in terrorist hands.

[[Image:Walther-P99-Pistol.jpg|thumb|300px|none|Walther P99 9x19mm]]

==Česká Zbrojovka CZ-G2000==

The [[CZ-G2000]] can be seen in the armory behind your character in the character customization, but is not usable in game.

[[Image:Cz2000.jpg|thumb|none|300px|CZ-G2000, .40 S&W]]

==Heckler & Koch MP5A5/MP5N==

The [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A5|Heckler & Koch MP5A5]] is in the game as the "MP5N" cosign used by the United States Navy and the SEALs and is modifiable like all weapons in the game. It is used by Rainbow (especially Bishop and Logan), LVPD SWAT, and by the terrorists. The In-game model is of the MP5N, meaning that the 3 round burst setting is absent from the left side of the gun making it appear as the navy model, but it has a three-round burst setting in the gun's silencer/fire mode menu, making it an MP5A5.

[[Image:H&KMP5A5.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Heckler and Koch MP5A5 9x19mm]]

[[Image:RSV2mp5nthirdperson.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MP5A5/MP5N in a third-person view.]]

==Ingram MAC-11==

The [[MAC-10#MAC-11|Ingram MAC-11]], referred to as the "M11" is in the game and like the other weapons, it can be modified. It is often seen in terrorist hands. One note of interest is that it's modeled after the semi-auto civilian legal M11 that is modified to full auto. Its closed bolt is the telltale sign. Has an extremely high rate of fire.

[[Image:Mac m11 9k.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Ingram MAC-11 .380 ACP]]

==Fabrique Nationale P90==

The [[FN P90]] is in the game, it can be modified with everything except the extended magazine. Occasionally terrorists will be equipped with this weapon.

[[Image:FNP90.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Fabrique Nationale P90 5.7x28mm]]

==Heckler & Koch MP7A1==

The [[Heckler & Koch MP7A1]] is in the game, it can be modified with everything except the extended magazine. The MP7A1 is used with a suppressor by several Rainbow operatives; it is the secondary weapon for Jung Park when he isn't using a G36C and for Michael Walters when he isn't using a Mk. 46 machine gun.

[[Image:Mp7a1.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Heckler & Koch MP7A1 4.6x30mm]]

==Heckler & Koch UMP==

The [[Heckler & Koch UMP]] is in the game, it can be modified with everything. It is often used by terrorists later in game.

[[Image:UMP 45.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Heckler & Koch UMP .45 ACP]]

[[Image:UMP.jpg|thumb|none|500px|UMP in game with laser and suppressor.]]

==Brügger & Thomet MP-9==

The [[Steyr TMP#Brügger & Thomet MP-9|Brügger & Thomet MP-9]] is in the game, it can be modified with everything.

[[Image:Mp9tmp.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Brügger & Thomet MP-9 9x19mm]]

==Steyr AUG Para==

The [[Steyr AUG#Steyr AUG Para|Steyr AUG Para]] is seen in the game as a submachine gun with a high cyclic rate, and can be modified with everything. It is used by LVPD SWAT and by terrorists.

[[Image:AUG 9mm 03.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Steyr AUG Para 9x19mm]]

[[Image:AUGpara.jpg|thumb|none|500px|AUG Para in game with ACOG scope.]]

==Type 05 JS==

The PDW variant of the Chinese [[QBZ-95]] assault rifle. It is one of the more powerful submachine guns in game and can be modified with everything except for the high capacity magazine. The Type 05 can be seen in terrorist hands in game.

[[Image:Type-05.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Type 05, 5.8x21mm]]

==SA Vz.83 Skorpion==

The [[SA Vz.83 Skorpion]] appears in the game as the "Skorpion VZ83" chambered in .380 ACP, and can be modified with everything except for the ACOG scope. It is occasionally used by terrorists in game. PC version allows for semi-auto fire as well as the default full-auto option, but sights must be reset after EVERY shot as the weapon becomes misaligned after the first shot is fired in semi-auto mode.

[[Image:Skorpion-SA-VZ-61.jpg|thumb|300px|none|SA Vz.61 Skorpion .32 ACP]]

==IMI Uzi==

The [[IMI Uzi|IMI Uzi]] can be seen in the armory behind the character in the character customization, but is not usable in game.

[[Image:Uzi.jpg|thumb|none|400px|IMI Uzi 9mm]]

==SIG SG 552==

The [[SIG SG 550#SIG SG 552|SIG SG 552]] appears in the game as the "552 Commando" and can be modified with everything. It is one of the assault rifles used by the Rainbow team (it is the preferred rifle of both Logan and Chavez) and is also sometimes used by terrorists.

[[Image:SIG_SG552.jpg|thumb|350px|none|SIG SG 552 5.56x45mm]]

==Unknown AK Variant==

This weapon claims to be an AK-47 in-game, but it doesn't use the more curved 7.62x39 magazines that a real AK-47 would. It has the same statistics as the AKS-74U, which would appear to support the hypothesis that it uses 5.45x39mm rounds. The alleged [[AK-47]] is a very common terrorist weapon in game, it can be modified with a lasersight, ACOG, holographic sight, and 3X Scope. The jury is still out on what this gun actually is. Post on the discussion page if you have any idea.

[[Image:Ak 54.jpg|thumb|none|350px|AK-47 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:RSV2ak47.jpg|600px|thumb|none|The AK47 in the game. Equipped with an extended magazine.]]
[[Image:RSV2ak47suppressed.jpg|600px|thumb|none|A suppressed AK47 in the game.]]

==Kalashnikov AKS-74U==

The [[AK-74#AKS-74U|AKS-74U]] is present in game and can be modified with a lasersight, ACOG, holographic sight, and 3X Scope. It can be seen in terrorist hands in game.

It is shown to take the same magazines as the AK-47. This may therefore be a mislabled AKMSU. Note: The handguard is wrong for the russian AKSU in game, it's not supposed to have a handguard like that of the AK47.

[[Image:AKSU-Krinkov.jpg|thumb|none|350px|AKS-74U 5.45x39mm]]

==Fabrique Nationale FNC 80==

The [[FN FNC]] is one of the assault rifles in the game, and can be equipped with all addons. It is sometimes used by Rainbow operatives and is very often used by the terrorists.

[[Image:Fn-fnc-1-.jpg‎|thumb|350px|none|FN FNC 5.56x45mm]]

==Steyr AUG A3==

The [[Steyr AUG#Steyr AUG A3|Steyr AUG A3]] is in the game as the "AUG A3" and can be modified with everything. It is occasionally used by the terrorists.

[[Image:SteyrAugA3.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Steyr AUG A3 5.56x45mm with Surefire M900 weaponlight foregrip and EOTech red dot sight]]

==GIAT FAMAS F1==

==Heckler & Koch G36C==

The [[Heckler & Koch G36#Heckler & Koch G36C|Heckler & Koch G36C]] is in the game, it can be modified with everything. It is teammate Jung Park's primary weapon.

[[Image:Hkg36c.jpg|thumb|350px|none|Heckler & Koch G36C 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:RSV2g36c.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The G36C in the game.]]

==Heckler & Koch G3KA4==

The [[Heckler & Koch G3#H&K G3KA4|Heckler & Koch G3KA4]] is in the game, it can be modified with everything. It is occasionally used by terrorists. There are some inaccuracies in that it uses 30 round mags but the size indicates the use of a 20 round.

[[Image:G3KA4.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Heckler & Koch G3KA4 7.62x51mm NATO]]

[[Image:G3KA4,.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Player holding G3KA4 with ACOG scope.]]

==IMI Tavor TAR-21==

The [[Tavor TAR-21]] is in the game and can be modified with everything. It is very popular on online servers due to their high rate of fire. Players who have taken a liking to the Tavor have often been called "TARDs". It is sometimes used by Rainbow operatives and is quite common in terrorist use.

[[Image:Tavor-tar.jpg|thumb|none|350px|IMI Tavor TAR-21 5.56x45mm]]

Strangely, you cannot use it without the MARS sight. It has no iron sights in the first game either. An upside to this is that you can use the extended mag while having the MARS sight as well.
-FirearmFanatic

==Heckler & Koch XM8==

The [[Heckler & Koch XM8]] is in the game as the "M8", it can be modified with everything. It is obtained late in the game, and is never used by terrorists or Rainbow. It is seen as having an accessory rail that extends to the end of the carrying handle.

[[Image:XM8.JPG|thumb|none|350px|Heckler & Koch XM8 5.56x45mm]]

The version in game looks like the Xm8r, a version of the Xm8 built to use standard 20mm rail systems. ~Theonemoo

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb241/theonemoo/xm8malaysia_01.jpg

==Fabrique Nationale SCAR-H==

The [[FN SCAR#FN SCAR-H|FN SCAR-H]] is in the game, it can be modified with everything. It is extensively used by Rainbow and is often seen in terrorist use. It is Gabriel Nowak's weapon of choice along with his MP5A3/MP5N in the earlier missions prior to the events in Rainbow Six: Vegas 2.

==Enfield L85A2==

The [[SA80]] can be seen in game referred to by the British military designation L85A2, and can be equipped with everything. A Rainbow operative can be seen using this rifle in one of the game's levels. Er... Where? not in the PC version.

==Barret M468==

The [[Barrett REC7|Barrett M468]] appears in game. As opposed to the belief of those who haven't played it, it IS the M468. It is an unlockable weapon, and can be seen used by Rainbow operatives (it is Bishop's preferred rifle) and terrorists (occasionally) in game.

Note that the selector only has "SAFE" and "FIRE" positions. The lower receiver also lacks a hole for the autosear above the selector, despite the weapon's full auto capability in-game. Additionally, 6.8 SPC caliber weapons only have a 25 round capacity, rather than 30 rounds as portrayed in-game (Note - the Bushmaster 6.8mm Carbine has a 30 round magazine [[User:NMOne|NMOne]] 23:20, 23 May 2010 (UTC)).

[[Image:Rem870mcs 14.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Remington 870 MCS 12 gauge]]

==Franchi SPAS-12==

The [[Franchi SPAS-12]] appears in the game, it can be modified with lasersights, Rifle scope and Reflex sights. In game, it can be found in terrorist hands.

It appears in only pump-action operation when the actual gun has semi-auto operation. A lot of games do this to the Spas 12.--[[User:FirearmFanatic|FirearmFanatic]] 13:23, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

==M26 Modular Acessory Shotgun System==

The stand-alone version of the [[M26 Modular Acessory Shotgun System]] appears in the game, it can be modified with lasersights, Rifle scope and Reflex sights. Puzzlingly, the M26 in the game is select-fire, while the real one is a straight-pull bolt action.

==Daewoo USAS-12==

The [[USAS-12]] can be seen in the armory behind the character in the character customization, but is not usable in game.

[[Image:Scout.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Steyr Scout Tactical 7.62x51mm NATO]]

Strangely, in this game when you pick up this gun, the barrel is exposed on top, which on the steyr scout it is not. In the Outfitting menu, it is the scout tactical and the picture is a Steyr.

==Heckler & Koch PSG-1==

The [[Heckler & Koch G3#H&K PSG-1|Heckler & Koch PSG-1]] is in the game, like the other sniper rifles, it can be modified with a 12x Scope. The PSG-1 is the standard Rainbow sniper rifle.

==KAC SR-25 Sniper Rifle==

The [[Knight's Armament SR-25]] is a silenced sniper rifle based on the M16 rifle, it can be modified with a 12x scope.
The SR-25 is a upscaled version of the [[M16 rifle series|M16]], it is not an [[Armalite AR-10|AR-10]] as popularly believed, both the lower and upper receiver are completely different to that of an AR-10. the SR-25 is a STONER RIFLE (25), by Eugene Stoner from KAC, (Knights Armament Corporation). Armalite holds the patents to the name and design of "AR-10". It can be seen used by Rainbow operatives in game.

[[Image:SR25.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Knight's Armament SR-25 7.62x51mm NATO with Harris bipod]]

Fun fact: the designation 25 in Sr-25 is from adding Ar-10 and AR-15.

==Accuracy International AS50==

The [[Accuracy International AS50]] can be seen in the armory behind the character in the character customization, but is not usable in game.

==Mk 46 Mod 0 Light Machine Gun==

The [[FN Minimi#Mk 46 Mod 0|Mk 46 Mod 0]] is in the game, it can be modified with Reflex sight, laser sight, rifle scope and better stock. It is the squad support weapon of choice for Rainbow and is used by Michael Walters in Bishop's team.

The [[Heckler & Koch G3#H&K HK21 Machine Gun|Heckler & Koch HK21 machine gun]] is in the game, it can be modified with Reflex sight, laser sight, rifle scope and better buttstock. It is used by the terrorists often. Despite the appearance of a fire-selector switch and the appropriate markings, the HK21E is restricted to full-auto fire.

==Heckler & Koch MG36==

The [[Heckler & Koch G36#Heckler & Koch MG36|Heckler & Koch MG36]] is frequently used by enemies in the game, it can be modified with Reflex sight, laser sight, rifle scope and better buttstock. Despite being based on a regular G36 rifle, the MG36 is restricted to full-auto only, even though its counterpart in the Ghost Recon series allows for selection between semi, tri-burst, and full-auto fire.

==Game Trivia==

*This is one of the few games where it depicts cartridges actually being pushed upwards [Or in the P90's case, backwards] as they are fired through clear magazines.

*When the Silencer is placed on it, it sounds like the [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5SD|MP5SD]] sound used in [[Bad Boys II]]

*The odd thing about the [[SA80|L85A2]] in the game is when in its basic mode, with no attachments, the standard magazine capacity is 25 rounds instead of 30 round as it should be. One can get an "extended magazine" which increases the mag capacity to 35. Realistically, such a thing doesn't exist. And when equipped with a scope, you can't get a SUSAT, originally fitted to all models, now replaced by the ACOG.
*The L85A2 has the sound of the AK47 from the original Rainbow Six: Vegas, despite having two different cartridge types.

Hitman (2007)

NMOne: /* Para-Ordnance P18.9 */

[[Image:Hitmanposter.jpg|thumb|right|350px|''Hitman'' (2007)]]

''Hitman'' (2007) is a film adaptation of the popular video game series, starring [[Timothy Olyphant]] as the titular character, who goes by the codename of Agent 47. Also see IMFDB's pages for the video games, including ''[[Hitman: Blood Money]]'', ''[[Hitman 2: Silent Assassin]]'', and ''[[Hitman: Contracts]]''.

'''The following guns can be seen in this film:'''

==Para-Ordnance P18.9==

Agent 47 ([[Timothy Olyphant]])'s main weapons throughout the movie are two stainless steel-finished [[M1911 pistol series#Para Ordinance P18|Para-Ordnance P18.9]] 1911 clone pistols, which are sometimes fitted with suppressors. Proper ID of the weapons can be obtained through various sources related to the movie, including the movie's web site (which, despite naming them as AMT Silverballers, clearly show a Para-Ordnance P18.9), DVD special features, publicity shots and a few fleeting close-up shots in the movie. Despite a scene in which 47 tells Nika ([[Olga Kurylenko]]) that his guns are .45s, the P18.9 is actually a high-capacity 9x19mm clone of the 1911.

==Para-Ordnance LDA==

At the end of the shootout at Udre Belicoff's ([[Henry Ian Cusick]]'s) place, Agent 47 grabs a [[M1911 pistol series#Para Ordnance LDA|Para-Ordnance LDA]] ("light double action") pistol from Udre's arms stash. He then uses the gun to execute Udre. A rival hitman from the Organization carries a suppressed LDA.

==RPD==

Udre Belicoff ([[Henry Ian Cusick]]) can be seen dual-wielding two [[RPD Light Machine Gun|RPD]] light machine guns during the shootout at his palace. Udre's guns seem to have black synthetic stocks and grips instead of the usual wood and Bakelite furniture, indicating that they may be a more modern derivative of non-Russian manufacture.

==Heckler & Koch P2000==

Interpol Special Agent Mike Whittier ([[Dougray Scott]])'s main weapon throughout the movie is a [[Heckler & Koch P2000]] handgun with a laser pointer attachment.

==Heckler & Koch USP (Custom Sport?)==

Interpol Special Agent Jenkins ([[Michael Offei]])'s main weapon throughout the movie is a [[Heckler & Koch USP]] handgun with a light attachment. The weapon has tall adjustable sights, so it is possible that this is the USP Custom Sport variant. The Custom Sport was never imported to the United States, but since this film was done in Bulgaria, it's possible that the Bulgarian armorers who worked on the film did have access to one of these pistols.

==Heckler & Koch MG36==

A [[Heckler & Koch G36#Heckler & Koch MG36|Heckler & Koch MG36]] light machine gun (recognizable by the bipod fitted to the weapon) can be seen sitting on the glass table at Udre Belicoff's palace.

[[Image:Hit-MG36-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another view showing the MG36.]]

==Blaser R93 LRS2==

Agent 47 ([[Timothy Olyphant]]) uses the [[Blaser R93 Sniper Rifle|Blaser R93 LRS2]] sniper rifle when he kills Russian President Mikhail Belicoff ([[Ulrich Thomsen]]). He is seen with the Blaser R93 at the end of the movie, using the scope to see Nika from a distance, and killing another hitman who tries to kill Nika (also armed with a Blaser R93). The Blaser R93 is 47's main sniper rifle in the first Hitman game, Hitman: [[Codename 47.]]

==Arsenal AR and AR-F==

One of the most commonly seen assault rifles in the movie is the Bulgarian-manufactured Arsenal AR, along with its folding-stock version, the AR-F. These are the [[AK-47]]-type rifles that are used by the Russian Alpha commandos and seen on the table and walls in Udre Belicoff's palace. Agent 47 himself also briefly uses a heavily kitted-out Arsenal AR at Udre's place during the big shootout. The AR is a modernized version of the original AK-47 which features the same milled receiver of the older rifle, but with black synthetic furniture and several other improvements. Because ''Hitman'' was filmed mostly in Bulgaria, it makes sense that the Bulgarian armorers who worked on the movie would have had easy access to weapons made in their own country, hence the frequent use of these rifles.

Interestingly, all of the Bulgarian AR rifles in the movie seem to be fitted with East German-style blank-firing adapters (BFAs) on the muzzles, which are clearly visible in all of the screencaps below.

==AK-47==

Quite a few original milled-receiver [[AK-47]]s can also be seen in the film. They are used first by the rebel fighters in Niger at the beginning of the movie, and again by the Russian Alpha guards at Udre Belicoff's funeral (it is most likely that their use is supposed to be ceremonial, in much the same way that [[M14 Rifle|M14]] rifles are used by U.S. Honor Guards).

== RPG-7 ==

An [[RPG-7]] can be seen in the hands of a militiaman in Niger early in the film.

==AKS-74U==

FSB agents throughout the film (both plain clothes and SWAT) use the [[AK-74#AKS-74U|AKS-74U]].

[[Image:Hit-AKSU-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another view of the above scene.]]

==Heckler & Koch MP5A3==

During the shootout at Udre Belicoff's palace, Agent 47 arms himself with two [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A3|Heckler & Koch MP5A3]] fitted with tri-rails that are sitting on the table. A notable goof is that he never slaps down the bolts after he loads in the magazines, yet a split second later, both guns are fully cocked and he begins shooting with them.

Many of Mikhail Belicoff's bodyguards are also armed with MP5A3s, though theirs do not have the tri-rail.

==Uzi==

[[Uzi]] submachine guns are used by several of Mikhail Belicoff's bodyguards throughout the film.

[[Image:Hit-Uzi-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|One of Mikhail Belicoff's bodyguards at attention with an Uzi after Belicoff is assassinated.]]

==Unknown M1911 derivative==

When Agent 47 is in his hotel room early in the film, he has an unknown nickel-plated [[M1911 pistol series|M1911]]-type pistol sitting on the edge of the sink which is clearly not one of his Para-Ordnance P18.9s (the bore diameter is obviously .45, not 9mm) and doesn't seem to have Para-Ordnance styling of any sort. Another nickel/stainless 1911 with pearl or ivory grips is briefly seen in Udre Belicoff's palace.

==Walther WA2000==

Agent 47 trains a [[Walther WA 2000]] sniper rifle at Agent Smith's head when he meets with him at Moscow.

==FN P90==

The Interpol SWAT team led by Agent Whittier is armed mostly with [[FN P90]] submachine guns. Another P90 can be seen briefly on the table at Udre Belicoff's palace.

[[Image:FNP90Side.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Fabrique Nationale P90 5.7x28mm]]

===Special===
[[Image:HitmanP90-1special.jpg|thumb|none|600px|In a DVD special feature, a great close up of an FN P90 is seen.]]

==FN F2000 Tactical==

Some of the Interpol SWAT operators also use the [[FN F2000#FN F2000 Tactical|FN F2000 Tactical]] bullpup assault rifle, fitted with EOTech red dot sights.

[[Image:Fn fs2000 blk.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Fabrique Nationale F2000 Tactical 5.56x45mm NATO]]

==Heckler & Koch UMP==

At least one Interpol SWAT officer has a [[Heckler & Koch UMP]].

[[Image:UMP 45.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Heckler & Koch UMP .45 ACP]]
[[Image:Hit-UMP-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An Interpol SWAT officer with an H&K UMP (circled in red).]]

==Arsenal Shipka==

The first weapon that Udre Belicoff shows off to his clients is a Bulgarian [[Arsenal Shipka]] submachine gun, which fires the same 9x18mm ammunition as the Makarov. However, he claims that it is a '''"Kedr 9mm compact"''', referring to the Russian-made [[Kedr PP-91]]. Agent 47 remarks that it's actually a '''"Chinese copy"''', but in reality, the Chinese do not manufacture a copy of the PP-91.

Both Udre and Agent 47 have mis-identified this weapon. A close inspection reveals that the gun they both handle is most definitely a Shipka and ''not'' a Kedr PP-91. Pictures of both weapon types are shown below for comparison's sake.

[[Image:Shipka.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Arsenal Shipka 9x18mm (this is definitely the type of machine pistol used in the film)]]
[[Image:kedrpp91.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Kedr PP-91 9x18mm (compare this picture to the gun in the screenshots below, and you can see it looks nothing like the weapon that Udre and 47 are holding)]]
[[Image:Hit-Shipka-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Udre Belicoff holding the Bulgarian Shipka SMG, which he refers to as a "Kedr". Note that the barrel of the gun is obviously the wrong shape/length for a Kedr PP-91, and that the shape of the magazine well matches that of the Shipka.]]

[[Image:Hit-Shipka-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|47 holding the Shipka. This screenshot gives a better view of the shape of the gun; you can clearly see that the shape of the folding stock is far more like that of the Shipka than that of the Kedr.]]

==Makarov PM==

During the weapons deal at his palace, Udre Belicoff ([[Henry Ian Cusick]]) points a [[Makarov PM]] at a hooker's eye and then fires it at Agent 47. Being ignorant of guns in general, despite being an illegal arms dealer, Udre claims that the Makarov PM fires .22LR ammunition. Yet another in a long series of factually false statements by Belicoff. To be fair, there was a .22 LR conversion kit available for the Makarov ([http://www.makarov.com/graphics/mak22cnv.jpg]), but it seems unlikely that Udre would know this.

[[Image:Hitman_39-1-.jpg|thumb|none|400px|A publicity photograph of Udre Belicoff aiming his Makarov PM.]]

==M4A1 with M203 Grenade Launcher==

During the shootout at the hotel, one of the Russian Alpha commandos who gets shot by Agent 47 in the elevator is armed with an [[M16_rifle_series#M4/M4A1 with M203 Grenade Launcher|M4A1 Carbine]] with an [[M203 grenade launcher]].

Later at his palace, Udre Belicoff shows off another M4/M203 combo (which appears to be the exact same prop gun used by the commando earlier in the movie), but inaccurately describes it as an '''"M203 with under-barrel grenade launcher"'''(!?!) as well as claiming that the weapon fires 7.62x39mm ammunition, even though it actually fires 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition. This is one of the many factually inaccurate statements that Udre makes about the weapons he is selling, as Agent 47 himself points out.

[[Image:CM4-M203.jpg|thumb|none|350px|M4A1 carbine 5.56mm with M203 grenade launcher 40mm]]

[[Image:HitmanM4wrong-2special.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Weapons coordinator [[Christophe Maratier]] shows off a slab-side CAR-15 outfitted with a replica ACOG, foregrip, tactical flashlight, and an aluminum birdcage to resemble a modern M4. Apparently this was used in the film.]]

==Micro Uzi==

A [[Uzi#Micro Uzi|Micro Uzi]] is one of the weapons used in the shootout at Udre Bellicoff's palace.

[[Image:MicroUziPistol02.jpg|thumb|none|275px|Micro Uzi with 32 rd magazine - 9mm]]
[[Image:HitmanMicroUzi-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A ganster at Udre's palace fires a Micro Uzi.]]

==Dragunov SVD==

An assassin attempting to kill Agent 47 uses an [[SVD Dragunov]]. If you watch closely, it jams on the second shot, yet fires the third seconds later.

[[Image:SVD Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|500px|SVD Dragunov sniper rifle 7.62x54mm R]]

[[Image:Hit-SVD-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...and as he fires, his rifle clearly jams. Note that he's also closing his eyes and looking down. Seems rather unbecoming of a highly-trained assassin.]]

==Taurus PT92==

[[Taurus PT92]] pistols are used by the other hitmen from The Organization in the fight scene on the train. The guns are modified with some type of custom-built compensator.

[[Image:Taurus-PT92AF.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Taurus PT92 9mm]]

[[Image:Hit-PT92-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another view of the above, showing one of the PT92s in better detail.]]

== Mark 12 Mod 0 SPR==

During the opening scene showing Agent 47's training at The Organization, two runaways are shot by a sniper armed with a [[M16 rifle series#Mk 12 Special Purpose Rifle|Mark 12 Mod 0 SPR (Special Purpose Rifle)]].

== Beretta 92FS ==

A [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta 92FS|Beretta 92FS]] can be briefly seen in the opening sequence, which is actually a scene taken directly from the Dark Angel TV series also by FOX.

Black Hawk Down

2009-10-27T07:34:10Z

NMOne: /* M14 Rifle */

'''The following weapons were used in the film ''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. The M727 variant is identified by its A2 upper reciever and 14.5" barrel with the cutout for mounting an M203 grenade launcher; the M733 has the shorter 11.5" barrel. 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 surefire flashlights. 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 Delta Force operators 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, surefire tactical lights (with the pressure switch taped to the handguard with 100mph tape). Some of the Colts have camouflage paint schemes, and some of them are fitted with 14.5" barrels with M203 cuts (M727).

===Rangers===
While the Rangers are armed almost entirely with M16A2 rifles, Capt. Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) uses an M733 rifle, noted by the 11.5" barrel, with nothing modified or changed. "Doc" Schmid ([[Hugh Dancy]]) also uses an M733, presumably because as a medic, he would need a lighter, more versatile weapon to move quickly to wounded soldiers.

===Delta Sniper===
Delta Force Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) uses a [[M16 rifle series|CAR15A2]] rifle modified with camo paint, scope and a tactical light, but his is also 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|600px|Mike Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]) 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:BHDXM177E2-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta with his CAR-15 A2 rifle at the ready, right side.]]

[[Image:BHDXM177E2-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta operator fires on a Somali .50 gunner with his CAR-15.]]

==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:ColtM4 FirstVersion.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Colt M4 carbine 5.56x45mm.]]
[[Image:BHDM4-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"Who's hungry?" Hoot readies his M4 carbine to shoot a wild boar. Note flashlight pressure switch attached to the handguards with electric tape. Also note that Hoot racks the action twice; once when he boards the chopper, and another time when he readies to shoot the boar.]]
[[Image:BHDM4-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Cpt. Steele points out to Hoot that whether a undisciplined Delta or not, his M4 carbine should be safetied in the barracks. Hoot replies "This is my safety" and bends his pointer finger. Note the knobs on the carry handle used to remove it from the gun and custom pistol grip.]]
[[Image:BHDM4-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|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 Somalis can be seen using them as well.

[[Image:M60.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M60 - 7.62x51mm NATO]]

== FN Minimi ==

Several Rangers can be seen carrying [[FN Minimi|FN Minimis]] throughout the film, standing in for the [[FN Minimi|M249-E1 SAW]]. 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. The Minimis are also fitted with circular 200-round cloth ammo bags instead of hard plastic drums.

== M16A2 ==

Staff Sgt. Matt Eversmann ([[Josh Hartnett]]) leads his Rangers armed, like most of them, with an [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]].

== M14 Rifle ==
The [[M14 Rifle#M14 Rifle|M14 rifle]] is seen being used by Delta Force Sergeant First Class Randy Shughart ([[Johnny Strong]]), most notably when he and Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) are covering the second crash site. His M14 sports a camouflage paint scheme and an M68 Aimpoint scope.

==M16A1==
[[M16#M16A1 Rifle|M16A1]] rifles are seen in the Somali 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.

== Heckler & Koch G3A3 ==

The local militia arm themselves with, among many other weapons, [[Heckler & Koch G3|Heckler & Koch G3A3]] assault rifles.

[[Image:Bhd svd-edited.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An SVD Dragunov is seen behind Hoot.]]

== RPK ==
One of the Somalis 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.
(the milled receiver, blonde wood, and the fact that the selector is in semi seem to suggest it is an Arsenal Bulgarian RPK, probably a US-made semi-auto variant)

[[Image:BHDRPK.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali fires his RPK at the downed Black Hawk.]]

== RPG-7 ==

The Russian manufactured [[RPG-7]] features prominently in the film as the weapon which brings down a pair of UH-60 Blackhawks. In one scene inspired by an actual event, a projectile from an RPG-7 strikes Pvt. Kowalewski ([[Brendan Sexton III]]), 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 Somali 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, Aidid's militia 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 led by Hoot soon kill the gunners and then turn the weapon against the militia, killing several with one shot before destroying the weapon with a thermite grenade.

==Cobray CM203 Flare Launcher==
Many of the Rangers' [[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 ([[Enrique Murciano]]) of Capt. 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.

== 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. Delta Force Sgt. Wex ([[Kim Coates]]) can be seen at the firing range with an M1911A1 near the beginning of the film can be seen at the firing range 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]]), the UH-60 Black Hawk pilot of Super Six-Four, is armed with a [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A3|Heckler & Koch MP5A3]] with a slim handgrip 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 the US Army on their HMMWVs, the U.N. forces on their APCs, and the Somali militia on their technicals 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]]''.

In a deleted scene, Sgt. Sanderson uses the shotgun to blow the hinges on a door inside the target building.

== 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.

Black Hawk Down

2009-10-27T07:31:49Z

NMOne: /* Delta Customs */

'''The following weapons were used in the film ''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. The M727 variant is identified by its A2 upper reciever and 14.5" barrel with the cutout for mounting an M203 grenade launcher; the M733 has the shorter 11.5" barrel. 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 surefire flashlights. 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 Delta Force operators 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, surefire tactical lights (with the pressure switch taped to the handguard with 100mph tape). Some of the Colts have camouflage paint schemes, and some of them are fitted with 14.5" barrels with M203 cuts (M727).

===Rangers===
While the Rangers are armed almost entirely with M16A2 rifles, Capt. Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) uses an M733 rifle, noted by the 11.5" barrel, with nothing modified or changed. "Doc" Schmid ([[Hugh Dancy]]) also uses an M733, presumably because as a medic, he would need a lighter, more versatile weapon to move quickly to wounded soldiers.

===Delta Sniper===
Delta Force Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) uses a [[M16 rifle series|CAR15A2]] rifle modified with camo paint, scope and a tactical light, but his is also 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.

===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|600px|A Delta operator fires on a Somali .50 gunner with his CAR-15.]]

==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:BHDM4-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Cpt. Steele points out to Hoot that whether a undisciplined Delta or not, his M4 carbine should be safetied in the barracks.

== 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 Somalis 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-E1 SAW]]. 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. The Minimis are also fitted with circular 200-round cloth ammo bags instead of hard plastic drums.

== M16A2 ==

Staff Sgt. Matt Eversmann ([[Josh Hartnett]]) leads his Rangers armed, like most of them, with an [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]].

== M14 Rifle ==
The [[M14 Rifle#M14 Rifle|M14 rifle]] is seen being used by Delta Force Sergeant First Class Randy Shughart ([[Johnny Strong]]), most notably when he and Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) are covering the second crash site. His M14 sports a camouflage paint scheme and an M68 Aimpoint scope. It was noted that the actual SFC Shughart actually used an [[M14 Rifle#M21 Designated Marksman Rifle/M25 Sniper Rifle|M21 Designated Marksman Rifle]] with a M68 scope, although the movie armorer used an M14 as a stand-in.

==M16A1==
[[M16#M16A1 Rifle|M16A1]] rifles are seen in the Somali 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.

[[Image:BHDM16A1-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A militiaman picks up an M16A1 with the flash hider removed and with a strange smooth ten round magazine.]]

==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.]]

== Heckler & Koch G3A3 ==

The local militia arm themselves with, among many other weapons, [[Heckler & Koch G3|Heckler & Koch G3A3]] assault rifles.

[[Image:Bhd svd-edited.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An SVD Dragunov is seen behind Hoot.]]

== RPK ==
One of the Somalis 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.
(the milled receiver, blonde wood, and the fact that the selector is in semi seem to suggest it is an Arsenal Bulgarian RPK, probably a US-made semi-auto variant)

[[Image:BHDRPK.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali fires his RPK at the downed Black Hawk.]]

== RPG-7 ==

The Russian manufactured [[RPG-7]] features prominently in the film as the weapon which brings down a pair of UH-60 Blackhawks. In one scene inspired by an actual event, a projectile from an RPG-7 strikes Pvt. Kowalewski ([[Brendan Sexton III]]), 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 Somali 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, Aidid's militia 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 led by Hoot soon kill the gunners and then turn the weapon against the militia, killing several with one shot before destroying the weapon with a thermite grenade.

== 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.

== 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. Delta Force Sgt. Wex ([[Kim Coates]]) can be seen at the firing range with an M1911A1 near the beginning of the film can be seen at the firing range 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]]), the UH-60 Black Hawk pilot of Super Six-Four, is armed with a [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A3|Heckler & Koch MP5A3]] with a slim handgrip 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 the US Army on their HMMWVs, the U.N. forces on their APCs, and the Somali militia on their technicals 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]]''.

In a deleted scene, Sgt. Sanderson uses the shotgun to blow the hinges on a door inside the target building.

== 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.

M4 was issued in 1994 before the battle which took place in 1993 ...the weapon seen in the movie and used by Delta operators was CAR-15

: If you'll look at the upper reciever and carry handle/rear-sight assembly, you'll see they match the [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]]-style of the early-model M4 carbine as shown in the picture above the screenshots.

Isn't it more likely that Randy Shughart was actually carrying a Springfield M21 rather than the M14?
:No, he was carrying a M14 during the actual battle and it is in his Medal of Honor citation. So its definitely a M14.

There's a scene in the movie (1:37:53) where Yurek, Nelson and Twombly are about to rejoin the other Rangers at the Black Hawk crash site. While Yurek is on the radio to Eversmann (Josh Hartnett's character) he grabs a mag out of a Type 47 that a dead Somali soldier is still holding. Since the Rangers are all carrying 5.56 NATO M4A2s and FN Minimis, what would be the point of grabbing a 7.62mm mag?

Question about the M4 not being period correct. If the events took place in September 1993 and the M4 went into service sometime in 1994, isn't possible that members of an elite group like Delta Force could have gotten their hands on a couple?

::In today's case, some special units are using the HK416 in the field. It likely that this was also the case with the M4 in 1993.

:intentional, in the book moments beforehand hed asked durant where the spare weapons were kept aboard the black hawk, and for some reason this scene was omitted from the film. Shughart had ran dry with his 7.62 M14 and so couldnt have used the 5.56 from the M16 mags. :)

::Yeah, Shughart asked if there were any spare rifles or radios ''after'' Gordon got shot. This caused Durant to realize that Gordon may have been hit and that they were stranded on their own.

Not sure where IMDB gets its info from, but Kim Coates plays Master Sergeant Tim 'Griz' Martin, the unfortunate Delta operator who was blown in half by the RPG when the convoy is attempting to extract.

==M4 in 1994?==
Question about the M4 not being period correct. If the events took place in September 1993 and the M4 went into service sometime in 1994, isn't possible that members of an elite group like Delta Force could have gotten their hands on a couple?

:I'd say it's plausible that Delta could have been field-testing a few XM4s that day. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]]

::In today's case, some special units are using the HK416 in the field. It likely that this was also the case with the M4 in 1993. That, or the armorers to the film got lazy and decided to throw in a few M4's for the M4 fans.

He is not the Delta operator seen using the 1911 at the firing range and the picture and article have been edited for correction.

== Weapon used by delta force ==

M4 was issued in 1994 before the battle which took place in 1993 ...the weapon seen in the movie and used by Delta operators was CAR-15

: If you'll look at the upper reciever and carry handle/rear-sight assembly, you'll see they match the [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]]-style of the early-model M4 carbine as shown in the picture above the screenshots. The CAR-15 (also known as the [[M16 rifle series#Colt Commando Carbine|Colt Commando]]) used the recievers and carry handle/rear sight assembly of the [[M16 rifle series#M16A1 Rifle|M16A1]]. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 22:18, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Also, the stock is wrong for the CAR15...its an M4

Isn't it more likely that Randy Shughart was actually carrying a Springfield M21 rather than the M14?
:No, he was carrying a M14 during the actual battle and it is in his Medal of Honor citation. So its definitely a M14.
::Do you happen to have a link to his MoH citation?

== Mistake? ==
There's a scene in the movie (1:37:53) where Yurek, Nelson and Twombly are about to rejoin the other Rangers at the Black Hawk crash site. While Yurek is on the radio to Eversmann (Josh Hartnett's character) he grabs a mag out of a Type 47 that a dead Somali soldier is still holding. Since the Rangers are all carrying 5.56 NATO M4A2s and FN Minimis, what would be the point of grabbing a 7.62mm mag? Seems like an odd oversight considering the camera kinda focuses on him taking the mag, and they've worked quite hard to maintain accuracy and detail in the film. Any ideas? Am I missing something? [[User:DamageW|DamageW]] 06:17, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
:What the hell is a Type 47?[[User:Oliveira|Oliveira]] 15:55, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
::i dont know, but they did that so the weapon was useless for someone to pick up and use. He probaly just ditched it later. -[[User:The Winchester|The Winchester]]
:::He's talking about an AK-47, but Type 47 definately isn't the right term. I always assumed he took it as a memento or something, because anyone can reload a weapon even if the magazine is removed. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::::Actually, he grabs the mag because he's carrying an M60, and he probably figured he may be able to use the ammo later. Also, many SF types are known to, in extreme need, use the local weapons, and he may also have been preparing for that eventuality. [[User:Asmkillr323|Asmkillr323]] 20:33, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

::::::I think that what Yurek was trying to do was deny the enemy ammunition should they pick up the AK.

I'd like to think he kept it as a souvenir, although the actual reason was whenever a member of militia was killed they were extremely dedicated to retrieving the body and the firearm, so removing the magazine would have made it useless, although picking up the the weapon and smashing it to pieces would probably have worked better[[User:Owen642|Owen642]] 14:04, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

== Mike Durant's Book ==
In Mike Durant's book "The Night Stalkers" he quoted a few weapons he was using in the real life in the "Mog". I remember him talking about his MP5 not to metion he called it a "german piece of crap" for jamming. He also said Randy's Commando was on burst-fire 3 shots 1 kill. And the mini guns the rescue team could have been using can not run on the Black Hawk's batteries only on pure engine generating turbine power.
:To be fair, Mike Durant also seems to know very little about firearms. Also note that his memory may be jarred by the fact that, you know, he had just suffered a fucking HELICOPTER CRASH. --[[User:Asmkillr323|Asmkillr323]] 00:44, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

::::Perhaps it was dusty inside of the chopper. Flying around in a helicopter with the rotor wash sending dust, smoke, and sand into and around the cabin won't help the MP5 from jamming, either.

Black Hawk Down

2009-10-17T19:31:28Z

NMOne: /* M1911A1 */

'''The following weapons were used in the film ''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. The M727 variant is identified by its A2 upper reciever and 14.5" barrel with the cutout for mounting an M203 grenade launcher; the M733 has the shorter 11.5" barrel. 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 surefire flashlights. 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.

[[Image:Coltm727ima.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt Model 727 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:Colt Model 733.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt Model 733 with 11.5" Barrel (The Model 723 is the export model of the same weapon - used by forces of the UAE and US Delta Force) 5.56mm]]

===Delta Customs===
The Delta Force operators 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, surefire tactical lights (with the pressure switch taped to the handguard with 100mph tape). Some of the Colts have camouflage paint schemes, and some of them are fitted with 14.5" barrels with M203 cuts (M727).
[[Image:BHD-M733.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Delta Force SSgt. Busch ([[Richard Tyson]]) aims an M727 carbine at Somali militants raiding a Red Cross food distribution center while aboard a Blackhawk. Note the flashlight pressure switch taped to the handguard.]]

[[Image:BHDCommando-7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sgt. Sanderson fires his M727 during the "Mogadishu Mile"..]]
(note - some of the pressure switches were rendered useless as as the delta operators fast roped in from the black hawks, the friction from the 3inch ropes burnt straight through the connecting cable, meaning that the flashlights and in some cases, the radios, failed to function properly.)

===Rangers===
While the Rangers are armed almost entirely with M16A2 rifles, Capt. Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) uses an M733 rifle, noted by the 11.5" barrel, with nothing modified or changed. "Doc" Schmid ([[Hugh Dancy]]) also uses an M733, presumably because as a medic, he would need a lighter, more versatile weapon to move quickly to wounded soldiers.

===Delta Sniper===
Delta Force Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) uses a [[M16 rifle series|CAR15A2]] rifle modified with camo paint, scope and a tactical light, but his is also 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|600px|Mike Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]) 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|600px|A Delta operator fires on a Somali .50 gunner with his CAR-15.]]

==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:BHDM4-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"Who's hungry?" Hoot readies his M4 carbine to shoot a wild boar. Note flashlight pressure switch attached to the handguards with electric tape. Also note that Hoot racks the action twice; once when he boards the chopper, and another time when he readies to shoot the boar.]]
[[Image:BHDM4-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Cpt. Steele points out to Hoot that whether a undisciplined Delta or not, his M4 carbine should be safetied in the barracks. Hoot replies "This is my safety" and bends his pointer finger. Note the knobs on the carry handle used to remove it from the gun and custom pistol grip.]]
[[Image:BHDM4-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|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 Somalis 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-E1 SAW]]. 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. The Minimis are also fitted with circular 200-round cloth ammo bags instead of hard plastic drums.

== M14 ==
The [[M14 Rifle#M14 Rifle|M14 Rifle]] is seen being used by Delta Force Sergeant First Class Randy Shughart ([[Johnny Strong]]), most notably when he and Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) are covering the second crash site. His M14 sports a camouflage paint scheme and an M68 Aimpoint scope. It was noted that the actual SSGT Shughart actually used a M21 with a M68 scope, although the movie armorer used an M14 to supplement this.

==M16A1==
[[M16#M16A1 Rifle|M16A1]] rifles are seen in the Somali 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.

[[Image:BHDM16A1-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A militiaman picks up an M16A1 with the flash hider removed and with a strange smooth ten round magazine.]]

==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.]]

== Heckler & Koch G3A3 ==

The local militia arm themselves with, among many other weapons, [[Heckler & Koch G3|Heckler & Koch G3A3]] assault rifles.

[[Image:Bhd svd-edited.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An SVD Dragunov is seen behind Hoot.]]

== RPK ==
One of the Somalis 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.
(the milled receiver, blonde wood, and the fact that the selector is in semi seem to suggest it is an Arsenal Bulgarian RPK, probably a US-made semi-auto variant)

[[Image:BHDRPK.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali fires his RPK at the downed Black Hawk.]]

== RPG-7 ==

The Russian manufactured [[RPG-7]] features prominently in the film as the weapon which brings down a pair of UH-60 Blackhawks. In one scene inspired by an actual event, a projectile from an RPG-7 strikes Pvt. Kowalewski ([[Brendan Sexton III]]), 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 69==
Along with [[RPG-7]]s, Chinese [[RPG-7#Type 69|Norinco Type 69]] launchers are used by the militia.
[[Image:Type69RPG.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Norinco Type 69 - 70mm.]]

[[Image:BHDType56.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali smacks Mike Durant across the face with a Norinco Type 56.]]

== 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 Somali 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.

[[Image:BHDAKS-74U-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mo'alim with his AKS-74U.]]

== SPG-9 Recoilless Rifle ==

At one point in the film, Aidid's militia 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 led by Hoot soon kill the gunners and then turn the weapon against the militia, killing several with one shot before destroying the weapon with a thermite grenade.
[[Image:BHD 010.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aidid's militia prepare to fire the SPG-9 Recoilless on the Rangers and Deltas who are holed-up at the first crash site.]]

==Cobray CM203 Flare Launcher==
Many of the Rangers' [[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 ([[Enrique Murciano]]) of Capt. 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:BHDM16A2-M203-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Here the trigger guard appears to have been removed]]

== 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. A Delta operator can be seen at the firing range 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.

[[Image:BHDM9.jpg|thumb|none|600px|McKnight is seen armed with his M9 when walking away from a Ranger, blown in half by an RPG.]]

== Heckler & Koch MP5A3 ==

Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]), the UH-60 Black Hawk pilot of Super Six-Four, is armed with a [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A3|Heckler & Koch MP5A3]] with a slim handgrip 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 the US Army on their HMMWVs, the U.N. forces on their APCs, and the Somali militia on their technicals 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.

== GE M134 Minigun ==
During the slaughter of the crowd, The U.S. forces hovering in the MH-60 aren't cleared to fire the [[GE M134 Minigun|Dillon Aero M134 minigun]]s mounted on their Black Hawk. Pylon-mounted miniguns, mounted alongside 2.75 rockets, are also carried by the AH-6 ''Little Birds'' and rain lead in several scenes.
[[Image:Minigun.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Dillon Aero M134 with flash suppressor - 7.62x51mm. These are new model M134 Miniguns or just updated GE Miniguns which are usually seen with a different spade grip mount that were used during the Vietnam War.]]

[[Image:BHDM134.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Closeup of the M134 as it fires on RPG gunners.]]

== DShK Heavy Machine Gun ==

Several vehicle mounted Russian [[DShK heavy machine gun]]s appear in several scenes of the film.

[[Image:DSHK.jpg|thumb|none|250px|Russian DShK 12.7x109mm]]

== 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]]''.

In a deleted scene, Sgt. Sanderson uses the shotgun to blow the hinges on a door inside the target building.

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.

NMOne: /* M4? */ new section

- I'll update later with additional images, and the other guns when I can. Unless other people can get footage or see footage of other firearms seen in the new Left 4 Dead 2, it will be greatly appreciated.
:I don't think the SCAR will be in the game. I think i saw the M16A3 in one of the videos.-[[User:Oliveira|Oliveira]] 17:31, 16 June 2009 (UTC) I am pretty sure the scar is in the game the game footage shows it being fired.

== M4? ==

The weapons list has the M-16, but I've got an XBox magazine with a multi-page preview of L4D2 and several images of the characters holding an M4 with a 10" barrel. That could be added to the list as well if someone could find a decent screencap.

Black Hawk Down

2009-03-31T04:57:27Z

NMOne: /* M7A2 Hand Grenade */

'''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.
[[Image:Colt-M-16-A-2-m723.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Colt Model 723 5.56mm]]

===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-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.

==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.

== 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]]''. For some reason, Sanderson doesn't have a shortened barrel, which would have made it more versatile.

== M67 Hand Grenade ==

While loading up for the assault on the Olympic Hotel 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.

== 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-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Gordon with his suppressed M733.]]

[[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:BHDXM177E2-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|A Delta with his CAR-15 A2 rifle at the ready, right side.]]

[[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.

== M16A2 ==

Staff Sgt. Matt Eversmann ([[Josh Hartnett]]) leads his Rangers armed, like most of them, with an [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2s]].

== 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]]

==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:BHDCETME-2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|CETME rifles hanging next to the dealer.]]

== Heckler & Koch G3A3 ==

The local militia arm themselves with, among many other weapons, [[Heckler & Koch G3|Heckler & Koch G3A3]] assault rifles.

[[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.]]

[[Image:BHDM16A2-M203-2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Here the trigger guard appears to have been removed.]]

== 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.

[[Image:BHDM9.jpg|thumb|none|500px|McKnight is seen armed with his M9 when walking away from a Ranger, blown in half by an RPG.]]

== 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.

== 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]]''. For some reason, Sanderson doesn't have a shortened barrel, which would have made it more versatile.

[[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.]]

this is used on screen. its useed to blow open the doors on the building raid

== M67 Hand Grenade ==
