==RE:==
It is interesting about them two editing just certain pages. If I remember right when MT2008 banned POI, I think he banned certain IP addresses he was using, I don't think Burt's IPs matched. But they are both in Cali. They were on the forums about the same time posting, they may have made replies back to each other. I don't remember. Hopefully the other mods will come to a decision on the RPG issue.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 09:13, 15 April 2011 (CDT)

:Hi, Tim, I have to present some of my research today (I'm in grad school), so I apologize for being so busy yesterday and today, but quick update:

:(1.) I think I got you approved to post on the forum. Try it now and see if it works.

:(2.) I did used to think that Burt might be PoI re-incarnated, and he certainly sounds like PoI sometimes, but I haven't been able to be sure of this. Being stubborn and argumentative is not a personality trait exclusive to PoI, and Burt hasn't demonstrated some of the other personality traits that made PoI so unlikable (in my opinion, anyway). That being said, PoI was quite technically competent (setting up sock puppet accounts after he got banned), so it's not impossible that he and Burt are the same person. But as Brian told you, their IPs were very, very different.

:(3.) We'll get to the bottom of the Type 69 issue. Promise. :)

::I'm not sure why you haven't been approved on the forums. Are you using a free e-mail like Yahoo, Gmail? I don't have approval privileges on the forum. So I get "don't have permission" message when viewing your name, despite being a mod. Matt (MT2008) has a little bit more rights. So he may be able to help. But he's dealing with school, so just be patient.

::On another note, Burt didn't start making edits on the wiki until after he was temp banned from the forum, if I remember right (Matt did the banning). I ended up temp banning him on the wiki too for being a smartass. He's gotten better about things, but he still ends up rubbing people the wrong way.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 10:54, 15 April 2011 (CDT)

== Pagecounter ==

How do the pagecouter works on this wiki ?

==Trademark==
Though it's not absolutely necessary, for the longest times people thought Muzzelite was the name of a GUN not the cover. And then people started naming Muzzelite as a generic term for other aftermarket bullpup kits, which it is not. Muzzelite IS a tactical aftermarket accessories company that is independent from Ruger. and their most famous contribution to society is a trademarked line of bullpup kits. at the time the TM was just a way to break people from the bad habit of using the Muzzelite as a generic firearm term, that's all. You're overthinking it. This all happened YEARS before you were a member so don't worry about it. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 14:24, 27 June 2011 (CDT)

==M8A1==
You are correct, your photos are proof that the M8A1 is the base chassis, but I ask where did you get your information? You state that you did research. Did another source correctly identify the tanks? I only ask because the guys at Veluzat themselves erroneously identified the chassis as M48s on the DVD and to me personally. Now you have proven them wrong, but I want to know where else on the net the correct info has been listed. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:46, 29 June 2011 (CDT)

:::Though some state that the M8A1 is a derivative of the M41, I wonder how much. The M8A1 has 6 main bogey wheels and four return rollers. The M41 & M42 have only FIVE Main bogey wheels and three return roller. That indicates a completely different frame. Just noting.

== Help needed ==

Hi. I'm working on a page for the film "Derailed". There was a S&W pistol, what the detective ID'd as a Smith & Wesson Model 5906. However it had those bigger sights, like the one on this image:
[[Image:Pix1264003015.jpg|thumb|350px|none|Smith & Wesson 5906 - 9mm]]
It this a very early M5906? I thought I ask you since you visit the site every day, and know a lot about guns. :) Thanks in advance. P.S.: I added an image of a WW2 "thing" onto the talk page of [[Clive Barker's Jericho]]. You have any idea what that is? - [[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 09:55, 5 July 2011 (CDT)

::Thanks a lot for the help with that shitty WW2 gun. I thought it will be some kind of mortar or something like that. I think it should ''not'' be added to the page, what do you think? I also added the M26 MASS, I found in the manual that it is an "XM-26 semi-auto shotgun", LOL. Just a little trivia: I was really disappointed with F3AR (and I think you were also - at least that's what I've figured out of the talk page), but this game is pretty sick, I bought it in 2008 but haven't played it till now. I played it tru 5 times in the last week. - [[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 06:00, 6 July 2011 (CDT)

==D-War==
Unless you know for sure with a verifiable source be careful NOT to declare it as a definite fact. The reason why I said that is I recently went by a movie tank farm where they had lightweight Abrahms 'dummies' that ran on some sort of small vehicle for deep background shots. Sure, lots of movies like to CGI duplicate but there are some times when the film wants people interacting with the tanks in the distance. Thanks for the note though. :D [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 16:49, 5 July 2011 (CDT)

==Re: Ace Combat==

That's a good question. I have the PS2 titles in the series myself and have played the demo for ''AC6'', but lack a means to take screenshots that wouldn't look like crap. Ideally, I'd like to see the weapon ports for each aircraft mentioned in the articles (ideally with the gun firing so as to show the viewer where the firing port is via the muzzle flash), but I know that might be a bit excessive with some of the games such as ''The Unsung War'' which has something like 16 aircraft that all use the [[M61 Vulcan]] cannon. If my ideal suggestion is not possible, then try to get the player characters' signature aircraft (F-14A Tomcat in ''AC5'', F-22A Raptor in ''AC04'', F-15C Eagle in ''AC Zero'', F-16C Fighting Falcon & F-15E Strike Eagle in ''AC6'', etc.). I greatly appreciate your interest in helping to complete these articles, and look forward to seeing your input on them. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 04:07, 6 July 2011 (CDT)

:I would exercise caution with some of the ground vehicle weapons, as that can easily stray into territory not within the scope of the wiki. If you can find a tank or APC with a machine gun or a ZSU-23 AA gun, that's fine, but please avoid things like heavy artillery systems or large-caliber flak guns. There is also a screenshot I would like to see for the ''AC5'' article, but it's extremely difficult to get; namely an image of the player's aircraft being engaged by a [[FIM-92A Stinger]] in "Powderkeg" with the Yuktobanian radio chatter that specifically mentions that weapon system by name. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 04:43, 6 July 2011 (CDT)

::The 'tricky' part of the "Powderkeg" shot I mentioned is having that piece of dialogue appear at the same time as you're being engaged by said SAM. Both things happen at random during the mission if I remember correctly, so getting them to happen together so as to create a decent screenshot could be difficult. I also thought of another shot I would like to see for ''AC Zero''; a pic of a Belkan BM-335 bomber firing its defensive M61 Vulcan armament (I've noticed that the BM-335 seems to be the only heavy bomber in the series thus far that has any defensive gun armament; the in-game B-52's & Tu-95's appear to have been 'neutered').

==Rank changes==
Navy ranks are abbreviated differently. Listing a US Navy Lieutenant as "Lt." is not correct. See the link. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:US_officer_ranks] --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 14:28, 8 July 2011 (CDT)
:We're not talking about Jessica Biel or Josh Lucas, we're talking about their characters, who are US Navy Lieutenants. If we're going to bother listing their ranks, we might as well do it correctly. And as I said, "Lt." is not shorthand for a US Navy Lieutenant, "LT" is. If you want to write out the whole rank, go ahead. But if you're going to abbreviate it, then do it correctly. You noticed I left non-naval ranks alone. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 14:44, 8 July 2011 (CDT)
::I thought being correct trumped readability. "Lt." may be short for the *word* "Lieutenant," but we're talking about the specific rank. And it's not just an administrative choice, navy LTs a different grade than Army/AF/MC lieutenants, just as Army/AF/MC Captains are different than Navy/CG Captains. Using the proper abbreviations helps in differentiating them. [http://www.navy.mil/navydata/navy_legacy_hr.asp?id=266] --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 15:12, 8 July 2011 (CDT)
:::"I don't know, if you're trying to educate people there's no point being correct if nobody understands you're correct..." Really? On the website that tracks *46* variants of what most people would just call a "Colt .45?" (And at least thirty variants of what laymen would just call an M16.) If you want to write out the full rank, go ahead, but keep in mind, the abbreviations do exist for a reason. And of course there are no hard feelings, we're resolving this like reasonable adults. As for [[Stealth]], I think it A) REALLY deserved a good video game adaptation, B) felt like a fifth grader's attempt to remake "2001: A Space Odyssey," C) is an absolutely gorgeous, yet absolutely terrible film, like [[Pearl Harbor]], and D) like Pearl Harbor, makes me wonder if the Navy leaves deciding whether or not to assist on a film to a chimp. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 01:05, 9 July 2011 (CDT)
::::It is what it is. If people see a someone in a naval uniform with LT in front of his or her name, and can't figure out it's short of Lieutenant, then I don't know what we can do. If we can educate people, I think we should. (Just be happy there aren't any Rear Admirals here. Explaining RDML and RADM would be a pain.) Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the Ace Combat series. (I haven't had a PS2 in four years, and yet still have my copies of AC04, AC5, and Zero just in case I do get one again.) Considering it's taken them FOUR YEARS to make a console sequel to AC6, I'm willing to make room for a few clones, like a Stealth game. (As long as it's good. The HAWX series is really disappointing.) How desperate was I for another AC game? I actually thought about getting a Wii just so I can play Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 01:53, 9 July 2011 (CDT)
:::::Yeah, those UAV missions were just lazy. And that just sums up the entire HAWX franchise. The gameplay is somewhat close to the AC series, but it just lacks polish. The cutscenes in HAWX 1 were some of the worst I've ever seen. BTW, I saw your note to Bunni about the cache issue. I got the same issue two weeks ago, but with a different user. I tried clicking on those same pictures you mentioned, and I'm in as a different, albeit logged out user.

I am having an issue that I hope you can help me with (2nd time today!). Do you have any idea how to delete pages? Yes, I asked you earlier but this time is different...

Reason is that I created a page for the [[Bruni Magnum]] because it appeared in one of my movies. MPM suggested me to make that page a section of the [[Colt Python]] page because it is in fact a blank-firing copy of that revolver. I could not use 'move' and have automatic redirects created because that would mess up the Colt Python page.

Instead, I cut-and-paste my info to an additional entry in the Colt Python page but now I am left with a completely empty page ([[Bruni Magnum]]) that has no use but unfortunately this is where people get directed when they type in 'Bruni Magnum'. Sorry for the mess but do you have any suggestions how I cabn fix this. HELP!!! --[[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] 09:29, 26 September 2011 (CDT)

Or is it to how editors prefer at any current moment? Bringing order to the pages would certainly help and trying to be a part of it. --[[User:Masterius|Masterius]] 08:07, 13 October 2011 (CDT)

==copyright==
well actually I only started copyrighting the images explicitly after some ugly piracy issues between 2009-2010, but if you were here from the start, all the veteran members already knew that my pics were MY pics :D Putting the copyright all over the place is a recent trend, and I've been trying to over write a lot of the older pics with an explicit copyright but it takes time. Most of the members back in the day knew enough when they saw the quality and that I had uploaded it. They knew better than to over write it. Also when I load someone else's pic as a place holder I usually put a note on it that it's not mine. So, no I did not overlook anything. These image files are OLD, from the early days of IMFDB and it takes a while to over write over 700 original images. But I'll get to it. He is NOT correct though in overwriting the image that he did. :D Whether it is mine or not, the IMFDB rule is NOT to overwrite a superior image with a lesser quality image (whether it be lighting style, clarity or size). So in that respect, he was wrong. The usual procedure is to upload a NEW image, if for some reason a member feels strongly that an existing image doesn't represent the gun well. :) I know you're relatively new (compared to some of the OLD timers of the site hahahaha) so I thought I'd put that out there since it is something we've all done since 2008, but never really explained to anyone new. :D lol.

== RE: GAU-8 ==

The reason the full length is not linked to as much as the cropped contrast images is that up until 2 days ago the cropped one was the only one on the site. I'm not a great fan of it personally as it is a digitally manipulated version of the full length image, which if you blow them up to full size the full length one is actually much clearer on the detail of the gun itself. Regardless, I'm going to use the image of the gun with the helmet and ammo box for any new pages I put it on, as this is the only image that shows just the physical gun, unobscured by the feeding mechanism, making it more in keeping with the other automatic cannon pictures on the site. I'm going to move the contrast image to the discussion aswell, as I see no reason to use it because even though it is slightly larger, it shows less of the gun and is more blurry and grainy.--[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 05:06, 20 October 2011 (CDT)
:The only part of a GAU-8/A I have ever seen in a movie or game is the muzzle, so for an ID of a non standard installation anything apart from that is irrelevant to be honest. All the other aircraft cannon pictures on the sight, such as the ones for Vulcan variants, don't have the feed mechanism which is also required for them to fire. With the avenger the drum is needed for the weapon to work, which is part of the reason I put the full length picture on the main page, and is an integral part of the gun. As the weapon is link-less, the rounds are not pulled along on their belt by the feed mechanism, but are actually driven to the gun by the drum which stores the rounds nose towards the centre in a spiral channel, with a grooved rotor in the centre which rotates to move the rounds along the channel. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 05:38, 20 October 2011 (CDT)

:Yeah, I am thinking that they used Joker's pistol as a base for Two Face's one. Maybe it is the same gun with a different texture.

== Arkham City ==

Yes, Two-Face uses a Milkor grenade launcher in the final Catwoman mission, possibly the same one Penguin used in the Batman campaign. On a related note, I think I should like to clarify that the unknown rifles that Tyger troopers carry in Arkham City are intended to be CAR-15s, instead of a completely fictional rifle. For example, in the comic book tie-ins, there is a scene when a Tyger squad bursts into a building, weapons at the ready. The guns depicted here, while obviously based off those in the game, do not have the inaccurate carry top or exaggerated handgrip. They are much more recognizable as their RL counterparts.

In addition, an unknown AK clone and a bolt-action sniper rifle both appear in unlockable ''Arkham City'' concept art. One is entitled "TYGER Sniper" and the other shows Catwoman on the ceiling over a guard's head. Haven't actually unlocked either of these yet, so I can't say I've viewed them up-close, but perhaps you have? Maybe they deserve a section in the ''B:AC'' article.

Thanks,

== Team America ==

Allow me to raise a matter to you since you're the only Administrator that I know. This weekend, I watched the 2004 marionet-animated comedy [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0372588/ Team America] for the 2nd time since it came out and seen through IMFDB-eyes the guns used were actually quite appropriate and identifiable (see below screenshot).

[[Image:TeamAmerica-screenshotexample.jpg|thumb|none|600px]]

I am dying to get started on a good IMFDB page for this movie, but since this movie is a bit of an odd-one-out, I raised the question on the IMFDB main page if anybody has strong objections. I get mixed feedback and since I'd hate to see a page that I created eventually getting deleted I am asking your expert opinion as an Administrator.

My point is that even though this is a comedy and the marionettes walk clumsy, the production team actually did take great care to create a believable environment as far as (95% of the) prop guns are concerned. The Production Designer the 35-year veteran Jim Dultz and his team consists of such people as Ramsey Avery (Art Director for e.g. [[Edge of Darkness]] and [[Minority Report]]) plus Thomas Valentine (who was the Supervising Art Director for [[Battle: Los Angeles]]). These guys have a reputation and don't just shop around at the Toys“R”Us toy soldier department, wouldn't you agree?

With many anime and video games rightfully having entries for fantasy weapons derived from existing guns (like e.g. [[Crysis 2]]), I feel Team America deserves a well-done IMFDB page telling fact from fiction. I hope that in the light of above info, you can agree with me and I am looking forward to hear your thoughts on this matter. Thanks for your time, --[[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] 06:04, 14 November 2011 (CST)

==RE: two-tone P228==

I switched it back because that two-tone P228 is a factory version which is identical to the ones seen in ''[[24]]'' and other movies. Whereas the picture posted by Commando is a regular blued P228 which had only its slide nickeled - it lacks the nickel-plated controls. I agree that the image quality is a little better, but I prefer something that more closely matches the factory two-tone 228s. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 10:16, 16 November 2011 (CST)

== Ban? ==

Hi!
I saw that you're an admin on IMFDB. I've being trying to register on the forum several times. The registration goes through, but it tells me that I need further privileges to post a thread. I've also sent a PM to both you and another Admin asking for help. But now when I try to enter the forum it says that I banned due to "spam", which is kind of weird since I can't even start a thread. Do you think you could help me?
Thanks in advance! [[User:Santos|Santos]] 04:32, 5 December 2011 (CST)

== Concerning BF3 and such ==

Why don't YOU do less of that! I'm sick and tried (literally!), I stay up all night for days screen-capping the perfect shots, organizing, reformatting, uploading, ''and'' fixing descriptions and adding captions for BF3. I'm capping the ENTIRE game, so why don't you throw ME a freaking bone! I've let the other pages you've taken over with your ways slide because I'm a nice guy and didn't want to step on your toes anymore. And don't think just because you wrote some stuff on the page it makes it yours, I've wrote and rewrote stuff on your pages and it doesn't make them mine.

I was gonna buy SS3:BFE (if I ever get money...) and cap it simply because I wanted to contribute to the site, but only hours after I did a big edit you magically had the game and you took the page. I swear you are just watching what pages I'm working on and then just swoop in and takeover with your anal 400px weapon image sizes. Just because you are a Amin and have money doesn't make you God of the internets. I don't care if you want to ban me or whatever, have fun fixing up and bring the WHOLE site up to par all by yourself, and while your at it, since your an Amin, you should rename the site too "Evil Tim's IMFDB"... - [[User:Mr. Wolf|Mr. Wolf]] 19:58, 9 December 2011 (CST)

== M16 misinformation (Apocalypse Now) ==

I corrected many false statements about the M16 seen on the "Apocalypse Now" page. The corrections are as follows: 1) The M16 was mainly used by the USAF, but also by the US Navy during Vietnam. 2) M16s remained in USAF armories well after the M16A1 was adopted. 3) Late model M16s do indeed have a full-fence lower; they are not necessarily "franken-guns."

[[Image:AN-Poster.jpg|thumb|right|300px|''Apocalypse Now'' (1979) ]]
[[Image:ApocalypseNow.jpg‎|thumb|right|300px|''Apocalypse Now Redux (2001)'']]

''Apocalypse Now'' is the 1979 epic Vietnam War film directed by [[Francis Ford Coppola]]. The screenplay was co-written by Coppola and [[John Milius]] and was based on the Joseph Conrad novel ''Heart of Darkness''. The film stars [[Martin Sheen]] as a Special Forces officer sent on a mission downriver to terminate a rogue American colonel ([[Marlon Brando]]). Coppola encounted several production problems while making the film, much of which was documented in the acclaimed 1991 documentary ''Hearts of Darkness''. In 2001, Coppola would release an extended version of the film under the title ''Apocalypse Now Redux''.

'''The following weapons were used in the film ''Apocalypse Now'':'''

__TOC__ 

==M16A1==
[[M16_rifle_series#M16A1_Rifle|M16A1]] fitted with 30 round "curved" magazines are used by various characters throughout the film. While the 30 round magazine was not the norm for the M16 in Vietnam, it would technically be accurate (since the film takes place in 1969), but not as prevalent as in the film.

==M16==
Col. Kilgore ([[Robert Duvall]]) is seen briefly holding an [[M16_rifle_series#M16_Rifle|M16]] rifle noted by its "slab-side" upper receiver (which lacks a forward assist) after the battle at Vihn Din Drop. Most M16s went to the US Air Force and US Navy during the Vietnam War. The vast majority of US Army troops in Vietnam were issued the XM16E1 and M16A1 rifles, which have a forward assist. It is very unlikely that a US Army unit such as Kilgore's would have had any M16s at this point in the war.

==M60 machine gun==
An [[M60 machine gun]] is seen carried by one of Col. Kilgore's ([[Robert Duvall]]) soldiers that rides in the helicopter with Chef and Clean. Clean ([[Laurence Fishburne]]) is the M60 gunner on the Navy PBR. Chef ([[Frederic Forrest]]) is seen firing the M60 briefly while taking incoming arrows from natives, but switches to the single mounted M2.

==M60D==
[[M60_machine_gun#M60D_Machine_Gun|M60D]] machine guns are mounted on Col. Kilgore's ([[Robert Duvall]]) choppers during the battle at Vinh Din Drop.

==Browning M2HB==
[[Browning M2HB]]s are single and double hand mounted on the Navy PBR. Jay 'Chef' Hicks ([[Frederic Forrest]]) is the rear gunner with the single mounted M2HB (nicknamed after the band "Canned Heat"). Lance Johnson ([[Sam Bottoms]]) is the front gunner with double hand mounted M2's. While traveling on the river through the Do Lung Bridge two soldiers are seen firing an M2 trying to kill a single VC under all the dead VC bodies.

==M1911A1==
An [[M1911 pistol series#M1911A1|M1911A1]] is seen on the nightstand of the Saigon hotel bedroom of Capt. Benjamin Willard ([[Martin Sheen]]). Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore ([[Robert Duvall]]) is seen carrying one with pearl grips that have a Air Cavalry symbol imprinted as his sidearm throughout the movie. In a deleted scene, Col. Walter E. Kurtz ([[Marlon Brando]]) aims Willard's 1911 at him when he's caged.

==M79 grenade launcher==
An [[M79 grenade launcher]] is used by The Roach ([[Herb Rice]]) to kill an NVA soldier hiding in the barbed wire during the scene at the Do Lung bridge. Roach had customized his with a tiger-stripe paint job.
[[Image:M79-Grenade-Launcher.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M79 grenade launcher - 40mm.]]

[[Image:ApnowM79-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Roach fires his M79 grenade launcher. Note how in this scene he wraps the sling around his arm, a well known technique to steady aim.]]

==GE M134 Minigun==
A [[GE M134 Minigun]] is seen door-mounted on one of the UH-1 Huey choppers during the famous raid scene. Being that the movie was filmed in the Philippines, they also supplied the helicopters which were outfitted with real guns. Since the weapons require no blank adaption to fire, all they needed was lots of blank ammunition to get the guns running.

==Fake DShK heavy machine gun (mock up)==
NVA fire at the Huey helicopters with a [[DShK heavy machine gun]], in reality a mocked up [[Browning M2HB]] machine gun.

==Norinco Type 56==
NVA are seen using [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Norinco Type 56]] assault rifles throughout the film, and they are also seen in the hands of Kurtz's men. It is noteworthy that this film was released in 1979 and took nearly three years to complete (thus photography started in 1976). During the 1970s, the Norinco Type 56 were not being imported into the U.S., and none were in U.S. Armorer inventories. The only reason Coppola's film had them was because they were supplied by Filipino armorers in Luzon.

==Ithaca 37==
Capt. Colby ([[Scott Glenn]]) carries an [[Ithaca 37]] fitted with a heat shield and bayonet lug. In a deleted scene, he uses it to kill the photojournalist ([[Dennis Hopper]]) for taking Kurtz's picture only for Willard to throw his knife hitting him in the gut, killing him.

Most of the World War II variations of the M1 Carbine were sent back to the Military Arsenals and retrofitted with the Bayonet Lug and adjustable rear sight. This is the version seen after late 1945 and all the way until the 1960s. This version is seen most often in World War II movies, despite being anachronistic for most World War II battles]]

Rhurst1945: Corrected misinformation about M16s with full-fence lowers.

== Apocalypse Now Trivia ==
1. [[Harvey Keitel]] was originally cast by Francis Ford Coppola to portray Capt. Willard, but was replaced by [[Martin Sheen]].

2. In the opening scene where a drunken Willard smashes a mirror in his hotel room, Martin Sheen had improvised the smashing and severly split open his thumb due to the fact that the glass was real. Despite Coppola wanted to cut, Sheen told the director that he wanted to keep filming.

3. The water buffalo that was slaughtered in the film was authentic as it was part of a tribal ritual that was witnessed by Coppola prior to filming the sequence.

4. [[Sam Bottoms]] admitted in ''Hearts of Darkness'' that he was on several drugs while filming.

5. [[Martin Sheen]] suffered a heart attack during filming and was unable to film for several weeks. Martin's brother, Joe Estevez, was hired to film pickup shots as principal photography continued until Sheen could return.

6. The original budget for the film was $16 million, but the final cost turned out to be about $32 Million.

7. In the documentary ''Hearts of Darkness'', Francis Ford Coppola was heard on tape saying he was seriously thinking of shooting himself.

8. Francis Ford Coppola lost more than 100 pounds during filming.

9. Marlon Brando was paid $1 million in advance for his role in the film. Brando eventually turned up on set extremely late, severely overweight (+100kg), and apparently had not read the script or the book "Heart of Darkness". After days of arguments over single lines of dialogue, an ad-lib style script was agreed upon, and this was shot according to Brando's stipulations that he appears in shadows.

10. The original version of the film was to be directed by George Lucas and was actually considered being shot in Vietnam during the war.

BTW, I changed the M16 pics and added and removed one image, since the shot of Willard in the jungle wasn't as good as the shot of Willard giving up his M16A1. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::: I added two images. There is never any good shots of him with it though.- [[User:Predator20|Predator20]]
::::I filled in the description and added an image to save you the trouble. The reason we call them M16 (SP1)'s is because they could either be military issue M16's fitted with A1 flashhiders or civilian issue AR-15 SP1's converted to full auto, depending on what the armorer had handy. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
:::::It looks like Kilgore's M16 has an SP1-style upper (no forward assist), but an A1 lower (there seems to be fencing around the magazine release). It's another Franken-gun. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]
::I missed that. I hate being sleep depraved. I'm just going to finish Se7en and get the hell to sleep. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
:::It's not necessarily a "Franken-gun." Late model M16s used by the USAF (and USN) did have A1-style full fence lowers. These are also known as "Colt 604s." - [[User:Rhurst1945|Rhurst1945]]

== MGC M16 ==
After watching the movie again, in the scene where the PBR gets attacked right after Lance pops out a purple haze, there is a close up of two MGC M16s.--[[User:Oliveira|Oliveira]] 17:18, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
:I think I know the scene you're talking about, they get shot up. Which makes sense to use replicas. I don't have a snap of them. I'll take one. I also found a better shot of Willard with his M16A1 when he meets the colonist, in my Apocalypse Now folder. -[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 17:44, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

== Mock-up machine gun ==
The fake DShK or an M2 machine gun doesn't look like DShK, but some mutant bastard child of the Maxim and Browning M1917 machine guns, but I'm not 100% sure. It is most likely made to look like a "general" machine gun, instead of an actual machine gun. - [[User:Kilgore|Kilgore]] 22:58, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

== M16 Rifle ==
[[Image:M16-SP1.jpg|thumb|right|500px|The original M16, the first version, firing in a 20-round magazine, adopted in large numbers by the U.S. Air Force in Vietnam. This has the original '''3-prong flash hider'''. It would later be replaced by the upgraded M16A1 - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:M16SP1Birdcage.jpg‎|thumb|right|500px|M16 aka SP1 (flat "slab side receiver") with an A1 "birdcage" Flash hider, used to imitate the M16A1 in many Vietnam era movies. This version has a 20 round magazine - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:M16-SP1-30Mag.jpg‎|thumb|right|500px|M16 aka SP1 (flat "slab side receiver") with an A1 "birdcage" Flash hider, used to impersonate the M16A1 during the 1970s and 1980s. This version has a 30 round magazine - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:M16-SP1-with-A2-Handguards.jpg|thumb|right|500px|M16 aka SP1 (flat "slab side receiver") with A2 style handguards used to impersonate the M16A2 - 5.56x45mm]]

Since the original M16 is the first pattern AR-15 select fire rifle that was adopted in 1964 by the U.S. Air Force in Vietnam (and also given to the ARVN) all appearances of the slab side M16 in movies and television shows would be either the Class III Colt M16 or the commercially available Colt AR-15 SP1 rifle. After being phased out from active duty, the military owned weapons were issued to National guard units (and later bequeathed to Federal and local law enforcement agencies). Movie Armorers could acquire Law Enforcement Sales models of the M16, as Class III transferable weapons or built as Class III manufacturers. However, an easier way was for commercially sold semiautomatic Colt AR-15 SP1 rifles to be converted to full auto fire in the 1970s and 1980s and these were in movie armories for years.

== XM16E1 Rifle ==

[[Image:XM16E1.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Mockup of an XM16E1 rifle with 20 round magazine - 5.56x45mm. What distinguishes it from the original M16 was the addition of the forward assist button and a chrome bolt carrier (which was later dropped with the M16A1). This can be identified as a mockup by its full magazine fence and strengthened front pivot point, neither of which appeared on the XM16E1]]

[[Image:XM16E1 WeWereSoldiers.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Currently seen Mockup of an XM16E1 (built from an M16A1 as the base) with 20 round magazine - 5.56x45mm. This example is the screen-used rifle used by [[Mel Gibson]] in ''[[We Were Soldiers]]''.]]

The XM16E1 is a modified variant of the original M16 which featured several improvements, including the forward assist, the most visually obvious difference. The Army requested this feature, but the Air Force believed it had no benefit and only increased the weapon's per-unit cost. Consequently, the M16 was the version adopted by the Air Force, while the Army adopted the slightly more expensive XM16E1. After the M16A1 was introduced in 1967, both services transitioned to this rifle (although existing M16s continued to be used by the Air Force for decades). Before 1968, the XM16E1 was the most common version of the M16 rifle platform. '''Many examples in recent films are actually 'faux' XM16E1 rifles'''. The real XM16E1 has a partial magazine fence on its' lower receiver, whereas the M16A1 has a full raised rib around the magazine release button).

== M16A2 Rifle ==

In contrast to the real world M16A2 rifle adopted by the U.S. Military in the early 1980s, most of the A2s seen in movies are A2 'kits' built on A1 full auto lower receivers (or converted A2 style receivers). Most movie "M16A2" rifles have the A1 Birdcage flash hider installed, since Cinematographers want the "starburst" of the Flash to go all the way around, not just divert upwards (as is the case with the correct A2 Flash hider). In the real world, the fully automatic version of the M16A2 is known as the '''M16A3''', however, '''because nearly all movie "M16A2s" fire full automatic, it is not IMFDB policy to designate these rifles as "M16A3s" when identifying them in movies, since in nearly all cases they are intended to pass for M16A2s.'''

Also note that some American movies feature [[M16 rifle series#M16A1 Rifle|M16A1]] rifles fitted with M16A2-style handguards, such as ''[[Heat]]'' and ''[[Die Hard 2]]''. An example of such a rifle can be seen in the M16A1 entry above. When identifying M16 variants, please look at the '''receiver''' of the rifle in question, not just its handguards, to determine whether it is an A1 or an A2.

== M16A4 Rifle ==
[[Image:M16A4Standard.jpg|thumb|right|500px|M16A4 with carry handle attached and standard A2 handguards - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:M16A4withANPEQ&ACOG.jpg|thumb|right|500px|M16A4 MWS (Modular Weapon System) with KAC M5 railed handguards, AN/PEQ-2 IR designator, KAC RIS foregrip, and Trijicon TA01 4x32 ACOG scope - 5.56x45mm NATO. NOTE: This is the standard USMC style setup.]]
The A4 is a 3-round burst rifle like the A2. As is the case with the A2 rifle, all movie/TV appearances of the 'flat top' M16 are full auto, not three round burst, since no director wants to see only three rounds fire at a time. So these are, again, A4 uppers built on full auto lower receivers. Despite the fact that the real world A4 is a three round burst rifle, IMFDB will still refer to the movie incarnations as A4s, since that is the rifle they are supposed to represent on film.

== Diemaco C7/Colt Model 715 ==
[[Image:Colt715 C7Rifle.jpg‎ |thumb|right|500px|Colt Model 715 (virtually identical rifle to the Colt Canada C7) - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:ColtCanadaC7A1.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt Canada C7A1 with ELCAN scope and polymer magazine 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:C7a2.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt Canada C7A2 with ELCAN scope and polymer magazine 5.56x45mm]]

Known as the Colt Model 715 in the United States, the Diemaco C7 is a Canadian license-built version of the M16 that was developed in tandem with the M16A2, but retains the rear sight and the automatic firing mode of the earlier M16A1, with the further addition of a heavier barrel and brass deflector. The original C7 was gradually replaced by the C7A1 in Canadian service during the mid 1990s, eliminating the carrying handle in favor of a Weaver rail system and a 3.5x ELCAN optical sight. The C7A2 is a mid-life upgrade of the C7A1 that adds a 4-position M4-style stock, a new handguard and pistol grip in OD green, and a Triad rail system that allows for the mounting of additional accessories such as RIS foregrips or AN/PEQ-2 laser illumination devices.

''NOTE: Diemaco (currently Colt Canada) does not permit sale of their weapons to civilians (including film armorers), so C7s in films is near impossible to see. However, several AR-15 manufacturers built identically-configured rifles with the same receiver style, which were usually marketed as "budget" alternatives to their [[M16A2]] clones. Colt manufactured the Model 715, while Olympic Arms manufactured its own version, the K4B (which is currently sold as the "Plinker Plus 20"). Most of the "C7" rifles appearing in movies and TV shows are the older-model (pre-1994) Olympic Arms K4B rifles; these guns are evidently preferred by the armorers in Vancouver, British Columbia and have been featured on TV shows such as ''[[Stargate: SG1]]'', ''[[The X-Files]]'', ''[[Millennium]]'', and ''[[Viper]]''. If the movie or TV show you are watching was filmed in British Columbia, chances are that you're seeing a converted Olympic Arms K4B, and not a genuine C7.''

== Diemaco/Colt Canada C8 Carbine ==

Essentially a carbine version of the C7 rifle, the C8 carbine serves the same role in the Canadian Armed Forces as the M4A1 carbine serves in the U.S. military. The original C8 is virtually identical to the Colt Model 653 carbine, while later variants introduced heavier barrels and flat-top upper recievers.

The flash hider is a smaller diameter copy of the XM-177 and has no sound suppression qualities and is permanently welded onto the barrel to make it legal length for over the counter gun store sales.]]

During the Vietnam War, Colt made several short barreled carbines that were fielded. The '''Colt Model 607''' (a line of carbines that would eventually be called the CAR-15 in the US Market) was designated the '''XM177''' in Vietnam. It had a 10" barrel and a slab side receiver just like the original AR-15s. The '''Colt Model 609''' was designated the '''XM177E1''', where they added a forward assist, upgraded breakdown pin assembly and a chromed chamber (the same modifications made to the A1 upgrade of the M16 rifle). This version was also where they started stamping the receivers "Commando", thus known as the "Colt Commando" back in the States. The '''Colt Model 610''' was a version built for the USAF security forces, and was called the '''XM177 GAU-5/A''' or when formally adopted by the US Air Force, 'the '''GAU-5/A''' ' (which is why the gun is seen on the show ''[[Stargate: SG1]]'' since the USAF used the carbine until recently). The '''Colt Model 629''' was officially designated the '''XM177E2''' having changed the barrel from 10" to 11.5" and slightly changing the flash hider/sound suppressor. This is the version '''most seen''' as replica and airsoft guns throughout the world.

The XM177 was adopted by the US Air force during the vietnam war and is still used by the USAF. The XM177E1 and the XM177E2 was adopted by the US Army and is no longer used.

''Movie Armorer's note: Since the ATF viewed the flashhider of the XM177 as a 'silencer' due to the sound baffles within the item, it was as strictly controlled as any other silencer. Also the interior design of the flash hider / sound suppressor of the XM177 made it difficult to adapt to fire movie blanks. '''Thus there are virtually NO real XM177s used in movies. ''' Most of the versions seen in films are modified commercial SP1 Carbines/M16 shorties with 'fake' XM177 flash hiders slipped over or welded to the end of the barrel. Also movie armorers used aftermarket barreled uppers by third party manufacturers and mated them to existing fully automatic lower receivers, thus were constantly swapping parts to build up guns which were requested by movie directors. So it is possible to see various upper receiver assemblies on recognizable M16/A1/A2 lower receivers. ''

[[Image:Colt Model 733.jpg‎|thumb|500px|right|Colt Model 733 "M16A2 Commando" - 5.56x45mm. Note, the Model 733 does not appear to have a set specification from Colt, and could be found with either an A1, A1E1 or A2 upper receiver, A1 or A2 lower receiver, and a coated aluminium or fiberlite stock. This particular rifle has an A2 lower, an A1E1 upper (forward assist and case deflector with A1 sights as found on Canadian Colts), and a coated aluminium stock.]]

After 1973 Colt made several lightweight versions of the M16 and Commando rifles for use with Police and Security forces, as well as civilian sales worldwide. It had the features of the XM177 rifle series, including the telescoping stock, but had either a 14.5" or a 16" lightweight barrel, depending on the demands of the customer, whether domestic or foreign. ''It was NOT correct for Viet Nam, despite what the movie '''[[Platoon]]''' portrays.'' Though 'unofficially' called the "M16 Shorty" by some writers and shooters, the 16" barreled lightweight carbine was never adopted formally by the US Military, and thus never had an "M" or "XM" designation. It was used in the U.S. by Federal and local law enforcement. The Model 653 is also the basis for the Diemaco/Colt Canada C8 carbine series (see above).

Colt also made the '''Model 733''', which was a 11.5" barreled version of the Model 653, intended for Tactical police and security work. Later manufactured versions of both guns had A2 style heavy barrels. The '''Model 723''' was a '''733''' designed for export for the UAE and used by US Delta Force.

''What is confusing is that other manufacturers made all sorts of modified short barreled AR-15 rifles for the Police and Civilian markets throughout the years. Colt themselves bastardized so many of their rifles throughout the years, swapping particular uppers with different lowers so that there will always be exceptions to the rule. The explosion of custom and unique looking AR-15 rifles in the 1980s and 1990s has led to a lot of confusion regarding what rifle is in what movie. ''

== M231 Firing Port Weapon ==
[[Image:381portg.jpg|thumb|right|500px|M231 Firing Port Weapon 5.56x45mm]]
The M231 Firing Port Weapon is a stripped-down, bare-bones carbine designed for U.S. Army soldiers riding in the M2 & M3 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles. The FPW was designed to allow soldiers being transported to protect the vulnerable flanks and rear of the IFV while still under armor. The weapon is only capable of full-auto fire with no semi-auto mode. Later upgrades to the Bradley blocked the firing ports on the sides of the hull with extra armor, though FPWs are still carried for the two rear ports covering the loading ramp.

==AR-15 Carbine==
The AR-15 (for Armalite Model 15) Carbine is the common name for the widely-owned semi-automatic rifle which soon afterwards became the selective fire M16 and M4 carbine assault rifles, which are currently in use by the United States military. AR-15 was the original name for what became the militarily designated M16, the assault rifle first used by the U.S. in the Vietnam War. The name AR-15 is now used almost exclusively to refer to the semi-automatic (commercially available) civilian version(s) of the M16 and M4 assault rifles.
Standard AR-15 rifles accept detachable magazines of widely varying capacities, and have a pistol grip that protrudes beneath the stock. AR-15 rifles are highly configurable and customizable. They are commonly fitted with several accessories such as bipods, folding or collapsing stocks, threaded barrels for the attachment of a flash suppressor, and a rail system for the attachment of vertical grips, flashlights, laser sights, telescopic sights, etc.
The AR-15 consists of separate upper and lower receiver assemblies, which are attached with two through-pins and can be quickly interchanged with no tools. The upper receiver assembly is simply considered a part, and may be freely purchased and mail-ordered in most locations. This is a very attractive feature for enthusiasts, who often purchase a number of upper receivers (often in different calibers) and interchange them with the same lower receiver. However, one must be thoroughly familiar with firearms laws before doing this as it is possible to make an illegal configuration.

== M4/M4A1 Carbine ==

[[Image:ColtM4 FirstVersion.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt M4A1 Carbine with 4 position collapsible stock - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:ColtM4A1.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt M4A1 with 6 position collapsible stock - 5.56x45mm. Note slight difference in shape of stock compared to older model M4 (above).]]
[[Image:ColtM4.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt M4A1 Carbine with M68 Aimpoint reflex optic and Knight's Armament RAS railed handguard and vertical forward grip - 5.56x45mm]]

The M4 Carbine is a 14.5" barreled select fire Assault Rifle. It has a distinctive 'step down' in the barrel to allow for mounting the M203 grenade launcher. Many of them in the battlefield are customized with forearm rails (usually holding the AN/PEQ-2 IR designator, a vertical forward grip, sometimes a flashlight, or one of many types of rifle scopes and red-dot or reflex optics). The M4 has three round burst capability, while the M4A1 has full auto fire capability. The very earliest M4s delivered to the U.S. Army had fixed carry handles and were known in Colt's catalog as the Model 777; however, soon after, the military started buying the Model 920, which featured a detachable carry handle, but continued to call these guns "M4s". Contrary to popular misconception, the carry handles on most M4s and M4A1s are detachable, and most of these carbines are used with the carry handle removed, and a folding rear sight and optic being attached to the receiver instead. As far as the procurement program has always been concerned, the burst/auto capability is the only difference between an M4 and M4A1, however, the M4A1 also utilizes a heavier barrel profile under the handguards in order to prevent the barrel from rapidly overheating during fully automatic fire.

What is confusing is that many civilian commercial makers of AR-15 style rifles call their 16" Carbine '''"The M4"'''. Though there is no rule saying they can't name their gun whatever they want, the official M4 is the version used and originally issued by the U.S. Army and built by Colt. Colt tried to sue other gun makers to stop using the term 'M4' however, it was ruled that M4 refers to a '''type''' of firearm and Colt cannot copyright the term.

== Colt Model 933 ==
[[Image:ColtM4commando.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt Model 933 with bayonet lug deleted - 5.56x45mm.]]
[[Image:Colt m4 commando 03.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt Model 933 with stock extended - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:Colt m933 03.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt Model 933 with SIRS handguard, Surefire M900 weaponlight foregrip, and M68 Aimpoint red dot scope - 5.56x45mm]]

The Colt Model 933 carbine is similar to the M4 carbine listed above, except with an 11.5" barrel as opposed to the 14.5" barrel on the M4. Aside from that, it has all the same features, including the removable carry handle/rear sight assembly. This has led some people (including Airsoft manufacturers) to nickname it the "M4 Commando" or "M4 CQB", though these are not it's official designations.

==CQB-R / Mk. 18 Mod 0==
[[Image:M4A1CQBR.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Mk. 18 Mod 0 5.56x45mm with RIS handguard]]

An even shorter-barreled M4 Carbine, it has about a 10.5 inch barrel. The upper receiver, which is used on a regular M4 lower receiver, is designated CQB-R (Close Quarters Battle-Receiver), while the entire weapon system is designated as Mark 18 Mod 0 by the United States Navy. Used by Navy VBSS units, NCIS and Navy SEALs. It is another one of the weapons that fell under the 'M4 Commando' nickname as an airsoft gun.

==Colt Law Enforcement Carbine==
The "M4A1" of the civilian world, this rifle has a 16" barrel (as opposed to the M4A1's 14.5") with step-cuts to attach a launcher such as an [[M203 grenade launcher]] and the [[Cobray 37mm Launcher]]. In films, this gun has been converted to full auto to trick viewers into believing it is an M4A1, earning it the nickname "M4gery".

=Commercial Copies of the M16 Rifle series=
Many of the guns seen as '''Colt''' model guns aren't Colt at all, but the many other manufacturer copies of the M16/AR-15 series of firearms. The most common clones are the guns made by Bushmaster, PWA and Eagle Arms. Though there are now many semi-automatic rifles made by companies like Panther DPMS and others, most of the Movie Prop houses acquired their guns before the 1990s. So only the most common third party manufacturers will be seen. Since it's difficult to determine which maker built the gun, for the sake of simplicity, the rifle variants in movies will be identified by the COLT model they most look like, unless there is clear evidence of a third party manufacturer. Sometimes this is possible via DVD commentary, direct information from the Armorer, or a clear shot of the manufacturer trademarks on the gun in a screenshot.

== Non Firing Replicas of the M16 Rifle ==
===MGC M-16 Model Gun Corp Replica Rifle===
[[Image:MGC16.jpg|thumb|right|500px|The MGC M16 Assault rifle: a non firing metal replica built by the Model Gun Corp of Japan and one of the most used non firing replicas of the M16 in movies and television. The 'forward assist' on the early models like the one imaged here are bolt inserts to keep the receiver together. Modern MGC M16 replicas have improved by third parties over the years (like adding A1 flash hiders) making it more accurate to the real thing making it harder for 'Connoisseurs' to identify]]
[[Image:MGC16 Closeup.jpg|thumb|right|500px|The MGC M16 Assault rifle: a non firing metal replica built by the Model Gun Corp of Japan. This is a '''closeup''' of the receiver and clearly shows how the ''''fake' forward assist''' is actually a connector with allen nut in the back. Removal of this nut separates the upper and lower receivers.]]
[[Image:MGC CAR-15w20RdMag.jpg|thumb|right|500px|MGC CAR-15 replica assault rifle with 20 round MGC magazine.]]
[[Image:MGC CAR15.jpg|thumb|right|500px|The MGC CAR-15 Assault rifle: Model Gun Corporation's XM177 offering. Interesting enough, MGC called their replica rifle the '''CAR-15''' which was Colt's name for the civilian (non-military designation) rifle, rather than any of the names give by the U.S. Military. This replica rifle was built on the same MGC M16 receiver, however the buttstock was pot metal, not plastic and it did not telescope. Instead the makers of the gun split the difference and locked the non-adjustable stock into the 'half extended/half closed' position. This feature did not enamor replica gun collectors to the weapon and it did not sell well.]]
Before the advent of inexpensive Airsoft guns there were precious few replica weapons that could be used in productions if they didn't want to have a live firing weapon on set, or for a stunt or if they didn't have the budget to get a real gun (and armorer). Though the U.S. Army had a "rubber duck", i.e. slang for the hard rubber training M16 they used, it was not readily available on demand for the movie prop houses of the 1970s and the 1980s. Thus the metal REPLICA gun was used (those models that were actually available for purchase). Model Gun Corporation of Japan made and built excellent quality metal replica guns between the late 1960s and the early 1980s and the most utilized one was the '''MGC M16 assault rifle'''. They were sold in the United States by Collector's Armory, Ltd. (and should not be confused with the inferior quality zinc-pot metal replicas currently coming in from Spain). There is also the '''MGC XM177 Commando''' carbine variant (listed in the catalog as the '''CAR-15'''), which is basically the same as above but with a non-retractable stock for imitation purposes.

If you've seen a movie with M16s in it, chances are you've seen many replicas of the rifle on camera.

In the following, the use of a metal replica M16 was (painfully) obvious:

===Film===
* U.S. Air Force personnel in ''[[WarGames]]'' (1983)

* ''[[Private Benjamin]]'' (1980)

* ''[[Apocalypse Now]]'' : mounted on the PBR boat, shot up by tracer rounds.

* ''[[Full Metal Jacket]]'' : the MGC M16 was visible being held by all soldiers who carried the M16. Only when they were firing on screen, did it switch to a live version of the weapon.

* ''[[Hamburger Hill]]'' : used by background Airborne Soldiers during a medical Evac.

* ''[[The Spy Who Loved Me]]'' : used by the British/Russian/US Navy Sailors during the gun battle on the ''Liparus''.

* ''[[Predator]]'' : Used by Dutch ([[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]), for a scene where his rifle is blown up by the Predator.

* ''[[Commando]]'' : Used by bad guys who kidnap Matrix and hold their M16s on him.

* ''[[Uncommon Valor]]'' : in any of the armory scenes or flashback scenes of soldiers not firing their M16s, the MGC M16 is evident. Also the CAR-15 replica is heavily used by the LRRP teams in the beginning of the film.

* ''[[First Blood]]'' : the Army National Guardsmen are seen holding many MGC M16 rifles. Only when an actor fired, did the weapon change to a real weapon.

* ''[[Rambo: First Blood Part II]]'' : seen in the weapons hold of the pirate boat used to smuggle Rambo up river.

* ''[[Hulk]]'' : when the Hulk explodes out of the ground on Powell Street in San Francisco, many of the U.S. Army Soldiers were carrying MGC-16 replica rifles (in addition to real AR15-A2 rifles). One of the soldiers holding the fake rifle has a closeup in one of the 'split screen' shots of their reaction to the Hulk.

* ''[[The Final Countdown]]'' : used by Marines on the deck of the Nimitz in scenes where there is no firing.

* ''[[Barb Wire]]'' : outfitted with ill fitting 30 round magazines, A2 handguards and A1 birdcage flash hiders, held by Congressionals.

* ''[[Dragon Wars: D-War]]'' : outfitted with ill fitting 30 round magazines, A2 handguards and A1 birdcage flash hiders, used by background U.S. Army troops defending Los Angeles.

* Used by many cadets in ''[[Taps]]''

* ''[[Ghostbusters]]'' : some of the Army National Guard soldiers near the climax can be seen with these weapons fitted with A1-style flash hiders, supplimenting real M16A1's.

* An L.A.P.D. SWAT officer in ''[[Bandits]]'' (fitted with A2-style handguards)

* Used by soldiers in ''[[Land of the Dead]]''

* Used briefly in ''[[Red Spectacles, The|The Red Spectacles]]''

===Television===

* ''[[Matt Houston]]''

* ''[[The Incredible Hulk (TV Series)]]''

* ''[[The A-Team]]''

* ''[[Tour of Duty]]''

* ''[[China Beach]]''

* ''[[V (TV series)]]''

* ''[[V.I.P.]]''
 

==.22LR caliber versions==

[[Image:Armi-Jager-AP-15.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Armi-Jager AP15 rifle - .22 LR. The AP -15 has a slab side receiver and a tiny ejection port (for the .22 brass) and a birdcage flash hider. The AP74 has a three prong flash hider.]]
[[Image:AdlerJagerAP74.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Adler-Jager AP74 rifle - .22 LR. Note the sharply angled three prong flash hider and the forward assist, which differentiate it from the AP15.]]

===Adler-Jager AP-74/Armi-Jager AP-15===

Made in Italy and imported by Mitchell Arms (during the 1970s and early 1980s), these M16 clones were chambered for .22 LR and looked very similar to the M16 or M16A1 rifles. The dummy "20 round magazine" was a solid part of the lower receiver. A small .22LR magazine was inserted into the bottom of the dummy magazine. They were used sometimes in films due to budgetary reasons, since low budget films (especially in the 1970s and 80s) could pick up a .22LR M16 clone for less than a real AR-15. There were .22LR guns imported into the U.S. with either Armi-Jager or Adler-Jager markings (but the Armi-Jager was most common), so both names are correct.

Armscor (out of the Philippines) made another .22LR clone rifle, the Armscor M16 22, however this rifle looked even less like a real M16 and was rarely (if ever) used in a film to impersonate an M16 rifle.

====Television====

* Cuban rebels in [[Miami Vice - Season 3]] episode -"Cuba Libre"

 

===Smith & Wesson MP15-22===

[[Image:SmithWesson MP15-22.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Smith & Wesson MP15-22 - .22LR]]
Due to popular demand for .22LR versions, a number of manufacturers have produced such models for the civilian market, predominantly for plinking and varmint hunting. Smith & Wesson are offering the MP15-22, a realistic semi-auto copy with 25 rounds capacity that can be equipped with many accessories due to the Picatinny rails.

* On a local shooting range’s sign in [[One for the Money]] (2012)

[[Image:M16-SP1.jpg|thumb|right|500px|The original M16, the first version, firing in a 20-round magazine, adopted in large numbers by the U.S. Air Force in Vietnam. This has the original '''3-prong flash hider'''. It would later be replaced by the upgraded M16A1 - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:M16SP1Birdcage.jpg‎|thumb|right|500px|M16 aka SP1 (flat "slab side receiver") with an A1 "birdcage" Flash hider, used to imitate the M16A1 in many Vietnam era movies. This version has a 20 round magazine - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:M16-SP1-30Mag.jpg‎|thumb|right|500px|M16 aka SP1 (flat "slab side receiver") with an A1 "birdcage" Flash hider, used to impersonate the M16A1 during the 1970s and 1980s. This version has a 30 round magazine - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:M16-SP1-with-A2-Handguards.jpg|thumb|right|500px|M16 aka SP1 (flat "slab side receiver") with A2 style handguards used to impersonate the M16A2 - 5.56x45mm]]

Since the original M16 is the first pattern AR-15 select fire rifle that was adopted in 1964 by the U.S. Air Force in Vietnam (and also given to the ARVN) all appearances of the slab side M16 in movies and television shows would be either the Class III Colt M16 or the commercially available Colt AR-15 SP1 rifle. After being phased out from active duty, the military owned weapons were issued to National guard units (and later bequeathed to Federal and local law enforcement agencies). Movie Armorers could acquire Law Enforcement Sales models of the M16, as Class III transferable weapons or built as Class III manufacturers. However, an easier way was for commercially sold semiautomatic Colt AR-15 SP1 rifles to be converted to full auto fire in the 1970s and 1980s and these were in movie armories for years.

== XM16E1 Rifle ==

[[Image:XM16E1.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Mockup of an XM16E1 rifle with 20 round magazine - 5.56x45mm. What distinguishes it from the original M16 was the addition of the forward assist button and a chrome bolt carrier (which was later dropped with the M16A1). This can be identified as a mockup by its full magazine fence and strengthened front pivot point, neither of which appeared on the XM16E1]]

[[Image:XM16E1 WeWereSoldiers.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Currently seen Mockup of an XM16E1 (built from an M16A1 as the base) with 20 round magazine - 5.56x45mm. This example is the screen-used rifle used by [[Mel Gibson]] in ''[[We Were Soldiers]]''.]]

The XM16E1 is a modified variant of the original M16 which featured several improvements, including the forward assist, the most visually obvious difference. The Army requested this feature, but the Air Force believed it had no benefit and only increased the weapon's per-unit cost. Consequently, the M16 was the version adopted by the Air Force, while the Army adopted the slightly more expensive XM16E1. After the M16A1 was introduced in 1967, both services transitioned to this rifle (although existing M16s continued to be used by the Air Force long after the war ended). Before 1968, the XM16E1 was the most common version of the M16 rifle platform. '''Many examples in recent films are actually 'faux' XM16E1 rifles'''.

[[Image:M16A1.jpg|thumb|right|500px|M16A1 with 20 round magazine - 5.56x45mm. What distinguishes it from the original M16 was the addition of a raised rib around the magazine release button, changing of the forward Receiver pins, and the addition of the forward assist button on the upper receiver.]]

[[Image:M16A1wA2Handguards.jpg|thumb|right|500px|M16A1 with A2 style handguards - 5.56x45mm. Putting the distinctive A2 handguards on the older rifle was a method used by Movie/TV armorers to simulate A2 rifles when M16A1s were the only ones available. The same thing has been done vice-versa, Using M16A2's with A1 handguards for Vietnam War B Movies.]]

== M16A2 Rifle ==

In contrast to the real world M16A2 rifle adopted by the U.S. Military in the early 1980s, most of the A2s seen in movies are A2 'kits' built on A1 full auto lower receivers (or converted A2 style receivers). Most movie "M16A2" rifles have the A1 Birdcage flash hider installed, since Cinematographers want the "starburst" of the Flash to go all the way around, not just divert upwards (as is the case with the correct A2 Flash hider). In the real world, the fully automatic version of the M16A2 is known as the '''M16A3''', however, '''because nearly all movie "M16A2s" fire full automatic, it is not IMFDB policy to designate these rifles as "M16A3s" when identifying them in movies, since in nearly all cases they are intended to pass for M16A2s.'''

Also note that some American movies feature [[M16 rifle series#M16A1 Rifle|M16A1]] rifles fitted with M16A2-style handguards, such as ''[[Heat]]'' and ''[[Die Hard 2]]''. An example of such a rifle can be seen in the M16A1 entry above. When identifying M16 variants, please look at the '''receiver''' of the rifle in question, not just its handguards, to determine whether it is an A1 or an A2.

[[Image:M16A2.jpg|thumb|500px|right|M16A2 Rifle - 5.56x45mm. Select Fire rifle (Safe/Semi/3 round Burst Only).]]

== M16A4 Rifle ==
[[Image:M16A4Standard.jpg|thumb|right|500px|M16A4 with carry handle attached and standard A2 handguards - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:M16A4withANPEQ&ACOG.jpg|thumb|right|500px|M16A4 MWS (Modular Weapon System) with KAC M5 railed handguards, AN/PEQ-2 IR designator, KAC RIS foregrip, and Trijicon TA01 4x32 ACOG scope - 5.56x45mm NATO. NOTE: This is the standard USMC style setup.]]
The A4 is a 3-round burst rifle like the A2. As is the case with the A2 rifle, all movie/TV appearances of the 'flat top' M16 are full auto, not three round burst, since no director wants to see only three rounds fire at a time. So these are, again, A4 uppers built on full auto lower receivers. Despite the fact that the real world A4 is a three round burst rifle, IMFDB will still refer to the movie incarnations as A4s, since that is the rifle they are supposed to represent on film.

Post-ban version of the AR-15A2 HBAR; it has the bayonet lug deleted and features a barrel that has no threading and therefore cannot accept a muzzle brake or flash hider.

Variants of this rifle have both the round and tear drop forward assist buttons, however, most of the early years of production had the tear drop button, like this rifle in the photo.]]

== Diemaco C7/Colt Model 715 ==
[[Image:Colt715 C7Rifle.jpg‎ |thumb|right|500px|Colt Model 715 (virtually identical rifle to the Colt Canada C7) - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:ColtCanadaC7A1.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt Canada C7A1 with ELCAN scope and polymer magazine 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:C7a2.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt Canada C7A2 with ELCAN scope and polymer magazine 5.56x45mm]]

Known as the Colt Model 715 in the United States, the Diemaco C7 is a Canadian license-built version of the M16 that was developed in tandem with the M16A2, but retains the rear sight and the automatic firing mode of the earlier M16A1, with the further addition of a heavier barrel and brass deflector. The original C7 was gradually replaced by the C7A1 in Canadian service during the mid 1990s, eliminating the carrying handle in favor of a Weaver rail system and a 3.5x ELCAN optical sight. The C7A2 is a mid-life upgrade of the C7A1 that adds a 4-position M4-style stock, a new handguard and pistol grip in OD green, and a Triad rail system that allows for the mounting of additional accessories such as RIS foregrips or AN/PEQ-2 laser illumination devices.

''NOTE: Diemaco (currently Colt Canada) does not permit sale of their weapons to civilians (including film armorers), so C7s in films is near impossible to see. However, several AR-15 manufacturers built identically-configured rifles with the same receiver style, which were usually marketed as "budget" alternatives to their [[M16A2]] clones. Colt manufactured the Model 715, while Olympic Arms manufactured its own version, the K4B (which is currently sold as the "Plinker Plus 20"). Most of the "C7" rifles appearing in movies and TV shows are the older-model (pre-1994) Olympic Arms K4B rifles; these guns are evidently preferred by the armorers in Vancouver, British Columbia and have been featured on TV shows such as ''[[Stargate: SG1]]'', ''[[The X-Files]]'', ''[[Millennium]]'', and ''[[Viper]]''. If the movie or TV show you are watching was filmed in British Columbia, chances are that you're seeing a converted Olympic Arms K4B, and not a genuine C7.''

== Diemaco/Colt Canada C8 Carbine ==

Essentially a carbine version of the C7 rifle, the C8 carbine serves the same role in the Canadian Armed Forces as the M4A1 carbine serves in the U.S. military. The original C8 is virtually identical to the Colt Model 653 carbine, while later variants introduced heavier barrels and flat-top upper recievers.

The flash hider is a smaller diameter copy of the XM-177 and has no sound suppression qualities and is permanently welded onto the barrel to make it legal length for over the counter gun store sales.]]

During the Vietnam War, Colt made several short barreled carbines that were fielded. The '''Colt Model 607''' (a line of carbines that would eventually be called the CAR-15 in the US Market) was designated the '''XM177''' in Vietnam. It had a 10" barrel and a slab side receiver just like the original AR-15s. The '''Colt Model 609''' was designated the '''XM177E1''', where they added a forward assist, upgraded breakdown pin assembly and a chromed chamber (the same modifications made to the A1 upgrade of the M16 rifle). This version was also where they started stamping the receivers "Commando", thus known as the "Colt Commando" back in the States. The '''Colt Model 610''' was a version built for the USAF security forces, and was called the '''XM177 GAU-5/A''' or when formally adopted by the US Air Force, 'the '''GAU-5/A''' ' (which is why the gun is seen on the show ''[[Stargate: SG1]]'' since the USAF used the carbine until recently). The '''Colt Model 629''' was officially designated the '''XM177E2''' having changed the barrel from 10" to 11.5" and slightly changing the flash hider/sound suppressor. This is the version '''most seen''' as replica and airsoft guns throughout the world.

The XM177 was adopted by the US Air force during the vietnam war and is still used by the USAF. The XM177E1 and the XM177E2 was adopted by the US Army and is no longer used.

''Movie Armorer's note: Since the ATF viewed the flashhider of the XM177 as a 'silencer' due to the sound baffles within the item, it was as strictly controlled as any other silencer. Also the interior design of the flash hider / sound suppressor of the XM177 made it difficult to adapt to fire movie blanks. '''Thus there are virtually NO real XM177s used in movies. ''' Most of the versions seen in films are modified commercial SP1 Carbines/M16 shorties with 'fake' XM177 flash hiders slipped over or welded to the end of the barrel. Also movie armorers used aftermarket barreled uppers by third party manufacturers and mated them to existing fully automatic lower receivers, thus were constantly swapping parts to build up guns which were requested by movie directors. So it is possible to see various upper receiver assemblies on recognizable M16/A1/A2 lower receivers. ''

== Colt Carbine/Model 653/Model 727/Model 733==

[[Image:Colt Model 733.jpg‎|thumb|500px|right|Colt Model 733 "M16A2 Commando" - 5.56x45mm. Note, the Model 733 does not appear to have a set specification from Colt, and could be found with either an A1, A1E1 or A2 upper receiver, A1 or A2 lower receiver, and a coated aluminium or fiberlite stock. This particular rifle has an A2 lower, an A1E1 upper (forward assist and case deflector with A1 sights as found on Canadian Colts), and a coated aluminium stock.]]

After 1973 Colt made several lightweight versions of the M16 and Commando rifles for use with Police and Security forces, as well as civilian sales worldwide. It had the features of the XM177 rifle series, including the telescoping stock, but had either a 14.5" or a 16" lightweight barrel, depending on the demands of the customer, whether domestic or foreign. ''It was NOT correct for Viet Nam, despite what the movie '''[[Platoon]]''' portrays.'' Though 'unofficially' called the "M16 Shorty" by some writers and shooters, the 16" barreled lightweight carbine was never adopted formally by the US Military, and thus never had an "M" or "XM" designation. It was used in the U.S. by Federal and local law enforcement. The Model 653 is also the basis for the Diemaco/Colt Canada C8 carbine series (see above).

Colt also made the '''Model 733''', which was a 11.5" barreled version of the Model 653, intended for Tactical police and security work. Later manufactured versions of both guns had A2 style heavy barrels. The '''Model 723''' was a '''733''' designed for export for the UAE and used by US Delta Force.

''What is confusing is that other manufacturers made all sorts of modified short barreled AR-15 rifles for the Police and Civilian markets throughout the years. Colt themselves bastardized so many of their rifles throughout the years, swapping particular uppers with different lowers so that there will always be exceptions to the rule. The explosion of custom and unique looking AR-15 rifles in the 1980s and 1990s has led to a lot of confusion regarding what rifle is in what movie. ''

== M231 Firing Port Weapon ==
[[Image:381portg.jpg|thumb|right|500px|M231 Firing Port Weapon 5.56x45mm]]
The M231 Firing Port Weapon is a stripped-down, bare-bones carbine designed for U.S. Army soldiers riding in the M2 & M3 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles. The FPW was designed to allow soldiers being transported to protect the vulnerable flanks and rear of the IFV while still under armor. The weapon is only capable of full-auto fire with no semi-auto mode. Later upgrades to the Bradley blocked the firing ports on the sides of the hull with extra armor, though FPWs are still carried for the two rear ports covering the loading ramp.

==AR-15 Carbine==
The AR-15 (for Armalite Model 15) Carbine is the common name for the widely-owned semi-automatic rifle which soon afterwards became the selective fire M16 and M4 carbine assault rifles, which are currently in use by the United States military. AR-15 was the original name for what became the militarily designated M16, the assault rifle first used by the U.S. in the Vietnam War. The name AR-15 is now used almost exclusively to refer to the semi-automatic (commercially available) civilian version(s) of the M16 and M4 assault rifles.
Standard AR-15 rifles accept detachable magazines of widely varying capacities, and have a pistol grip that protrudes beneath the stock. AR-15 rifles are highly configurable and customizable. They are commonly fitted with several accessories such as bipods, folding or collapsing stocks, threaded barrels for the attachment of a flash suppressor, and a rail system for the attachment of vertical grips, flashlights, laser sights, telescopic sights, etc.
The AR-15 consists of separate upper and lower receiver assemblies, which are attached with two through-pins and can be quickly interchanged with no tools. The upper receiver assembly is simply considered a part, and may be freely purchased and mail-ordered in most locations. This is a very attractive feature for enthusiasts, who often purchase a number of upper receivers (often in different calibers) and interchange them with the same lower receiver. However, one must be thoroughly familiar with firearms laws before doing this as it is possible to make an illegal configuration.

== M4/M4A1 Carbine ==

[[Image:ColtM4 FirstVersion.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt M4A1 Carbine with 4 position collapsible stock - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:ColtM4A1.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt M4A1 with 6 position collapsible stock - 5.56x45mm. Note slight difference in shape of stock compared to older model M4 (above).]]
[[Image:ColtM4.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt M4A1 Carbine with M68 Aimpoint reflex optic and Knight's Armament RAS railed handguard and vertical forward grip - 5.56x45mm]]

The M4 Carbine is a 14.5" barreled select fire Assault Rifle. It has a distinctive 'step down' in the barrel to allow for mounting the M203 grenade launcher. Many of them in the battlefield are customized with forearm rails (usually holding the AN/PEQ-2 IR designator, a vertical forward grip, sometimes a flashlight, or one of many types of rifle scopes and red-dot or reflex optics). The M4 has three round burst capability, while the M4A1 has full auto fire capability. The very earliest M4s delivered to the U.S. Army had fixed carry handles and were known in Colt's catalog as the Model 777; however, soon after, the military started buying the Model 920, which featured a detachable carry handle, but continued to call these guns "M4s". Contrary to popular misconception, the carry handles on most M4s and M4A1s are detachable, and most of these carbines are used with the carry handle removed, and a folding rear sight and optic being attached to the receiver instead. As far as the procurement program has always been concerned, the burst/auto capability is the only difference between an M4 and M4A1, however, the M4A1 also utilizes a heavier barrel profile under the handguards in order to prevent the barrel from rapidly overheating during fully automatic fire.

What is confusing is that many civilian commercial makers of AR-15 style rifles call their 16" Carbine '''"The M4"'''. Though there is no rule saying they can't name their gun whatever they want, the official M4 is the version used and originally issued by the U.S. Army and built by Colt. Colt tried to sue other gun makers to stop using the term 'M4' however, it was ruled that M4 refers to a '''type''' of firearm and Colt cannot copyright the term.

== Colt Model 933 ==
[[Image:ColtM4commando.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt Model 933 with bayonet lug deleted - 5.56x45mm.]]

The Colt Model 933 carbine is similar to the M4 carbine listed above, except with an 11.5" barrel as opposed to the 14.5" barrel on the M4. Aside from that, it has all the same features, including the removable carry handle/rear sight assembly. This has led some people (including Airsoft manufacturers) to nickname it the "M4 Commando" or "M4 CQB", though these are not it's official designations.

[[Image:M4A1CQBR.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Mk. 18 Mod 0 5.56x45mm with RIS handguard]]

An even shorter-barreled M4 Carbine, it has about a 10.5 inch barrel. The upper receiver, which is used on a regular M4 lower receiver, is designated CQB-R (Close Quarters Battle-Receiver), while the entire weapon system is designated as Mark 18 Mod 0 by the United States Navy. Used by Navy VBSS units, NCIS and Navy SEALs. It is another one of the weapons that fell under the 'M4 Commando' nickname as an airsoft gun.

==Colt Law Enforcement Carbine==
The "M4A1" of the civilian world, this rifle has a 16" barrel (as opposed to the M4A1's 14.5") with step-cuts to attach a launcher such as an [[M203 grenade launcher]] and the [[Cobray 37mm Launcher]]. In films, this gun has been converted to full auto to trick viewers into believing it is an M4A1, earning it the nickname "M4gery".

=Commercial Copies of the M16 Rifle series=
Many of the guns seen as '''Colt''' model guns aren't Colt at all, but the many other manufacturer copies of the M16/AR-15 series of firearms. The most common clones are the guns made by Bushmaster, PWA and Eagle Arms. Though there are now many semi-automatic rifles made by companies like Panther DPMS and others, most of the Movie Prop houses acquired their guns before the 1990s. So only the most common third party manufacturers will be seen. Since it's difficult to determine which maker built the gun, for the sake of simplicity, the rifle variants in movies will be identified by the COLT model they most look like, unless there is clear evidence of a third party manufacturer. Sometimes this is possible via DVD commentary, direct information from the Armorer, or a clear shot of the manufacturer trademarks on the gun in a screenshot.

== Non Firing Replicas of the M16 Rifle ==
===MGC M-16 Model Gun Corp Replica Rifle===
[[Image:MGC16.jpg|thumb|right|500px|The MGC M16 Assault rifle: a non firing metal replica built by the Model Gun Corp of Japan and one of the most used non firing replicas of the M16 in movies and television. The 'forward assist' on the early models like the one imaged here are bolt inserts to keep the receiver together. Modern MGC M16 replicas have improved by third parties over the years (like adding A1 flash hiders) making it more accurate to the real thing making it harder for 'Connoisseurs' to identify]]
[[Image:MGC16 Closeup.jpg|thumb|right|500px|The MGC M16 Assault rifle: a non firing metal replica built by the Model Gun Corp of Japan. This is a '''closeup''' of the receiver and clearly shows how the ''''fake' forward assist''' is actually a connector with allen nut in the back. Removal of this nut separates the upper and lower receivers.]]
[[Image:MGC CAR-15w20RdMag.jpg|thumb|right|500px|MGC CAR-15 replica assault rifle with 20 round MGC magazine.]]
[[Image:MGC CAR15.jpg|thumb|right|500px|The MGC CAR-15 Assault rifle: Model Gun Corporation's XM177 offering. Interesting enough, MGC called their replica rifle the '''CAR-15''' which was Colt's name for the civilian (non-military designation) rifle, rather than any of the names give by the U.S. Military. This replica rifle was built on the same MGC M16 receiver, however the buttstock was pot metal, not plastic and it did not telescope. Instead the makers of the gun split the difference and locked the non-adjustable stock into the 'half extended/half closed' position. This feature did not enamor replica gun collectors to the weapon and it did not sell well.]]
Before the advent of inexpensive Airsoft guns there were precious few replica weapons that could be used in productions if they didn't want to have a live firing weapon on set, or for a stunt or if they didn't have the budget to get a real gun (and armorer). Though the U.S. Army had a "rubber duck", i.e. slang for the hard rubber training M16 they used, it was not readily available on demand for the movie prop houses of the 1970s and the 1980s. Thus the metal REPLICA gun was used (those models that were actually available for purchase). Model Gun Corporation of Japan made and built excellent quality metal replica guns between the late 1960s and the early 1980s and the most utilized one was the '''MGC M16 assault rifle'''. They were sold in the United States by Collector's Armory, Ltd. (and should not be confused with the inferior quality zinc-pot metal replicas currently coming in from Spain). There is also the '''MGC XM177 Commando''' carbine variant (listed in the catalog as the '''CAR-15'''), which is basically the same as above but with a non-retractable stock for imitation purposes.

If you've seen a movie with M16s in it, chances are you've seen many replicas of the rifle on camera.

In the following, the use of a metal replica M16 was (painfully) obvious:

===Film===
* U.S. Air Force personnel in ''[[WarGames]]'' (1983)

* ''[[Private Benjamin]]'' (1980)

* ''[[Apocalypse Now]]'' : mounted on the PBR boat, shot up by tracer rounds.

* ''[[Full Metal Jacket]]'' : the MGC M16 was visible being held by all soldiers who carried the M16. Only when they were firing on screen, did it switch to a live version of the weapon.

* ''[[Hamburger Hill]]'' : used by background Airborne Soldiers during a medical Evac.

* ''[[The Spy Who Loved Me]]'' : used by the British/Russian/US Navy Sailors during the gun battle on the ''Liparus''.

* ''[[Predator]]'' : Used by Dutch ([[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]), for a scene where his rifle is blown up by the Predator.

* ''[[Commando]]'' : Used by bad guys who kidnap Matrix and hold their M16s on him.

* ''[[Uncommon Valor]]'' : in any of the armory scenes or flashback scenes of soldiers not firing their M16s, the MGC M16 is evident. Also the CAR-15 replica is heavily used by the LRRP teams in the beginning of the film.

* ''[[First Blood]]'' : the Army National Guardsmen are seen holding many MGC M16 rifles. Only when an actor fired, did the weapon change to a real weapon.

* ''[[Rambo: First Blood Part II]]'' : seen in the weapons hold of the pirate boat used to smuggle Rambo up river.

* ''[[Hulk]]'' : when the Hulk explodes out of the ground on Powell Street in San Francisco, many of the U.S. Army Soldiers were carrying MGC-16 replica rifles (in addition to real AR15-A2 rifles). One of the soldiers holding the fake rifle has a closeup in one of the 'split screen' shots of their reaction to the Hulk.

* ''[[The Final Countdown]]'' : used by Marines on the deck of the Nimitz in scenes where there is no firing.

* ''[[Barb Wire]]'' : outfitted with ill fitting 30 round magazines, A2 handguards and A1 birdcage flash hiders, held by Congressionals.

* ''[[Dragon Wars: D-War]]'' : outfitted with ill fitting 30 round magazines, A2 handguards and A1 birdcage flash hiders, used by background U.S. Army troops defending Los Angeles.

* Used by many cadets in ''[[Taps]]''

* ''[[Ghostbusters]]'' : some of the Army National Guard soldiers near the climax can be seen with these weapons fitted with A1-style flash hiders, supplimenting real M16A1's.

* An L.A.P.D. SWAT officer in ''[[Bandits]]'' (fitted with A2-style handguards)

* Used by soldiers in ''[[Land of the Dead]]''

* Used briefly in ''[[Red Spectacles, The|The Red Spectacles]]''

===Television===

* ''[[Matt Houston]]''

* ''[[The Incredible Hulk (TV Series)]]''

* ''[[The A-Team]]''

* ''[[Tour of Duty]]''

* ''[[China Beach]]''

* ''[[V (TV series)]]''

* ''[[V.I.P.]]''
 

==.22LR caliber versions==

[[Image:Armi-Jager-AP-15.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Armi-Jager AP15 rifle - .22 LR. The AP -15 has a slab side receiver and a tiny ejection port (for the .22 brass) and a birdcage flash hider. The AP74 has a three prong flash hider.]]
[[Image:AdlerJagerAP74.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Adler-Jager AP74 rifle - .22 LR. Note the sharply angled three prong flash hider and the forward assist, which differentiate it from the AP15.]]

===Adler-Jager AP-74/Armi-Jager AP-15===

Made in Italy and imported by Mitchell Arms (during the 1970s and early 1980s), these M16 clones were chambered for .22 LR and looked very similar to the M16 or M16A1 rifles. The dummy "20 round magazine" was a solid part of the lower receiver. A small .22LR magazine was inserted into the bottom of the dummy magazine. They were used sometimes in films due to budgetary reasons, since low budget films (especially in the 1970s and 80s) could pick up a .22LR M16 clone for less than a real AR-15. There were .22LR guns imported into the U.S. with either Armi-Jager or Adler-Jager markings (but the Armi-Jager was most common), so both names are correct.

Armscor (out of the Philippines) made another .22LR clone rifle, the Armscor M16 22, however this rifle looked even less like a real M16 and was rarely (if ever) used in a film to impersonate an M16 rifle.

====Television====

===Smith & Wesson MP15-22===

[[Image:SmithWesson MP15-22.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Smith & Wesson MP15-22 - .22LR]]
Due to popular demand for .22LR versions, a number of manufacturers have produced such models for the civilian market, predominantly for plinking and varmint hunting. Smith & Wesson are offering the MP15-22, a realistic semi-auto copy with 25 rounds capacity that can be equipped with many accessories due to the Picatinny rails.

[[Image:M16-SP1.jpg|thumb|right|500px|The original M16, the first version, firing in a 20-round magazine, adopted in large numbers by the U.S. Air Force in Vietnam. This has the original '''3-prong flash hider'''. It would later be replaced by the upgraded M16A1 - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:M16SP1Birdcage.jpg‎|thumb|right|500px|M16 aka SP1 (flat "slab side receiver") with an A1 "birdcage" Flash hider, used to imitate the M16A1 in many Vietnam era movies. This version has a 20 round magazine - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:M16-SP1-30Mag.jpg‎|thumb|right|500px|M16 aka SP1 (flat "slab side receiver") with an A1 "birdcage" Flash hider, used to impersonate the M16A1 during the 1970s and 1980s. This version has a 30 round magazine - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:M16-SP1-with-A2-Handguards.jpg|thumb|right|500px|M16 aka SP1 (flat "slab side receiver") with A2 style handguards used to impersonate the M16A2 - 5.56x45mm]]

Since the original M16 is the first pattern AR-15 select fire rifle that was adopted in 1964 by the U.S. Air Force in Vietnam (and also given to the ARVN) all appearances of the slab side M16 in movies and television shows would be either the Class III Colt M16 or the commercially available Colt AR-15 SP1 rifle. After being phased out from active duty, the military owned weapons were issued to National guard units (and later bequeathed to Federal and local law enforcement agencies). Movie Armorers could acquire Law Enforcement Sales models of the M16, as Class III transferable weapons or built as Class III manufacturers. However, an easier way was for commercially sold semiautomatic Colt AR-15 SP1 rifles to be converted to full auto fire in the 1970s and 1980s and these were in movie armories for years.

== XM16E1 Rifle ==

[[Image:XM16E1.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Mockup of an XM16E1 rifle with 20 round magazine - 5.56x45mm. What distinguishes it from the original M16 was the addition of the forward assist button and a chrome bolt carrier (which was later dropped with the M16A1). This can be identified as a mockup by its full magazine fence and strengthened front pivot point, neither of which appeared on the XM16E1]]

[[Image:XM16E1 WeWereSoldiers.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Currently seen Mockup of an XM16E1 (built from an M16A1 as the base) with 20 round magazine - 5.56x45mm. This example is the screen-used rifle used by [[Mel Gibson]] in ''[[We Were Soldiers]]''.]]

The XM16E1 is a modified variant of the original M16 which featured several improvements, including the forward assist, the most visually obvious difference. The Army requested this feature, but the Air Force believed it had no benefit and only increased the weapon's per-unit cost. Consequently, the M16 was the version adopted by the Air Force, while the Army adopted the slightly more expensive XM16E1. After the M16A1 was introduced in 1967, both services transitioned to this rifle, although the M16 continued to be used by the Air Force long after the war ended. Before 1968, this was the most common version of the M16 rifle platform. '''Many examples in recent films are actually 'faux' XM16E1 rifles'''. The real XM16E1 has a partial magazine fence on its' lower receiver, whereas the M16A1 has a full raised rib around the magazine release button).

== M16A2 Rifle ==

In contrast to the real world M16A2 rifle adopted by the U.S. Military in the early 1980s, most of the A2s seen in movies are A2 'kits' built on A1 full auto lower receivers (or converted A2 style receivers). Most movie "M16A2" rifles have the A1 Birdcage flash hider installed, since Cinematographers want the "starburst" of the Flash to go all the way around, not just divert upwards (as is the case with the correct A2 Flash hider). In the real world, the fully automatic version of the M16A2 is known as the '''M16A3''', however, '''because nearly all movie "M16A2s" fire full automatic, it is not IMFDB policy to designate these rifles as "M16A3s" when identifying them in movies, since in nearly all cases they are intended to pass for M16A2s.'''

Also note that some American movies feature [[M16 rifle series#M16A1 Rifle|M16A1]] rifles fitted with M16A2-style handguards, such as ''[[Heat]]'' and ''[[Die Hard 2]]''. An example of such a rifle can be seen in the M16A1 entry above. When identifying M16 variants, please look at the '''receiver''' of the rifle in question, not just its handguards, to determine whether it is an A1 or an A2.

== M16A4 Rifle ==
[[Image:M16A4Standard.jpg|thumb|right|500px|M16A4 with carry handle attached and standard A2 handguards - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:M16A4withANPEQ&ACOG.jpg|thumb|right|500px|M16A4 MWS (Modular Weapon System) with KAC M5 railed handguards, AN/PEQ-2 IR designator, KAC RIS foregrip, and Trijicon TA01 4x32 ACOG scope - 5.56x45mm NATO. NOTE: This is the standard USMC style setup.]]
The A4 is a 3-round burst rifle like the A2. As is the case with the A2 rifle, all movie/TV appearances of the 'flat top' M16 are full auto, not three round burst, since no director wants to see only three rounds fire at a time. So these are, again, A4 uppers built on full auto lower receivers. Despite the fact that the real world A4 is a three round burst rifle, IMFDB will still refer to the movie incarnations as A4s, since that is the rifle they are supposed to represent on film.

Post-ban version of the AR-15A2 HBAR; it has the bayonet lug deleted and features a barrel that has no threading and therefore cannot accept a muzzle brake or flash hider.

Colt still insisted on using the SP1 style lower receiver so any rifle that looks like this but has the ribbing around the magazine release button is not a Colt rifle. Variants of this rifle have both the round and tear drop forward assist buttons, however, most of the early years of production had the tear drop button, like this rifle in the photo.]]

== Diemaco C7/Colt Model 715 ==
[[Image:Colt715 C7Rifle.jpg‎ |thumb|right|500px|Colt Model 715 (virtually identical rifle to the Colt Canada C7) - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:ColtCanadaC7A1.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt Canada C7A1 with ELCAN scope and polymer magazine 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:C7a2.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt Canada C7A2 with ELCAN scope and polymer magazine 5.56x45mm]]

Known as the Colt Model 715 in the United States, the Diemaco C7 is a Canadian license-built version of the M16 that was developed in tandem with the M16A2, but retains the rear sight and the automatic firing mode of the earlier M16A1, with the further addition of a heavier barrel and brass deflector. The original C7 was gradually replaced by the C7A1 in Canadian service during the mid 1990s, eliminating the carrying handle in favor of a Weaver rail system and a 3.5x ELCAN optical sight. The C7A2 is a mid-life upgrade of the C7A1 that adds a 4-position M4-style stock, a new handguard and pistol grip in OD green, and a Triad rail system that allows for the mounting of additional accessories such as RIS foregrips or AN/PEQ-2 laser illumination devices.

''NOTE: Diemaco (currently Colt Canada) does not permit sale of their weapons to civilians (including film armorers), so C7s in films is near impossible to see. However, several AR-15 manufacturers built identically-configured rifles with the same receiver style, which were usually marketed as "budget" alternatives to their [[M16A2]] clones. Colt manufactured the Model 715, while Olympic Arms manufactured its own version, the K4B (which is currently sold as the "Plinker Plus 20"). Most of the "C7" rifles appearing in movies and TV shows are the older-model (pre-1994) Olympic Arms K4B rifles; these guns are evidently preferred by the armorers in Vancouver, British Columbia and have been featured on TV shows such as ''[[Stargate: SG1]]'', ''[[The X-Files]]'', ''[[Millennium]]'', and ''[[Viper]]''. If the movie or TV show you are watching was filmed in British Columbia, chances are that you're seeing a converted Olympic Arms K4B, and not a genuine C7.''

== Diemaco/Colt Canada C8 Carbine ==

Essentially a carbine version of the C7 rifle, the C8 carbine serves the same role in the Canadian Armed Forces as the M4A1 carbine serves in the U.S. military. The original C8 is virtually identical to the Colt Model 653 carbine, while later variants introduced heavier barrels and flat-top upper recievers.

== Colt XM177/CAR-15/Commando Series ==
[[Image:Colt 609-XM1771E1.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt Model 609 aka U.S. Army's XM177E1- 5.56x45mm. This Carbine utilized the partial magazine fence, the tear drop forward assist, but kept the 10" barrel and Flash hider/Suppressor that did not have a grenade ring (a later feature on the E2 model).]]
[[Image:ColtModel610-XM177.jpg|thumb|500px|right|GAU-5/A aka Colt Model 610 - 5.56x45mm. This is the USAF version and was only used by them. This is NOT the E1 version, which was used almost exclusively by the Army.]]

[[Image:FakeXM177.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Late 1970s model AR15 Sporter 1 Carbine - converted into an XM177 Lookalike for the film ''[[The Dogs of War]]'' - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:CAR-15Rifle.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Commercial CAR-15 semiautomatic Rifle - 5.56x45mm. This is strictly a semiautomatic civilian copy of the XM177 style of rifles. The flash hider is a smaller diameter copy of the XM-177 and has no sound suppression qualities and is permanently welded onto the barrel to make it legal length for over the counter gun store sales.]]

During the Vietnam War, Colt made several short barreled carbines that were fielded. The '''Colt Model 607''' (a line of carbines that would eventually be called the CAR-15 in the US Market) was designated the '''XM177''' in Vietnam. It had a 10" barrel and a slab side receiver just like the original AR-15s. The '''Colt Model 609''' was designated the '''XM177E1''', where they added a forward assist, upgraded breakdown pin assembly and a chromed chamber (the same modifications made to the A1 upgrade of the M16 rifle). This version was also where they started stamping the receivers "Commando", thus known as the "Colt Commando" back in the States. The '''Colt Model 610''' was a version built for the USAF security forces, and was called the '''XM177 GAU-5/A''' or when formally adopted by the US Air Force, 'the '''GAU-5/A''' ' (which is why the gun is seen on the show ''[[Stargate: SG1]]'' since the USAF used the carbine until recently). The '''Colt Model 629''' was officially designated the '''XM177E2''' having changed the barrel from 10" to 11.5" and slightly changing the flash hider/sound suppressor. This is the version '''most seen''' as replica and airsoft guns throughout the world.

The XM177 was adopted by the US Air force during the vietnam war and is still used by the USAF. The XM177E1 and the XM177E2 was adopted by the US Army and is no longer used.

''Movie Armorer's note: Since the ATF viewed the flashhider of the XM177 as a 'silencer' due to the sound baffles within the item, it was as strictly controlled as any other silencer. Also the interior design of the flash hider / sound suppressor of the XM177 made it difficult to adapt to fire movie blanks. '''Thus there are virtually NO real XM177s used in movies. ''' Most of the versions seen in films are modified commercial SP1 Carbines/M16 shorties with 'fake' XM177 flash hiders slipped over or welded to the end of the barrel. Also movie armorers used aftermarket barreled uppers by third party manufacturers and mated them to existing fully automatic lower receivers, thus were constantly swapping parts to build up guns which were requested by movie directors. So it is possible to see various upper receiver assemblies on recognizable M16/A1/A2 lower receivers. ''

[[Image:Colt Model 733.jpg‎|thumb|500px|right|Colt Model 733 "M16A2 Commando" - 5.56x45mm. Note, the Model 733 does not appear to have a set specification from Colt, and could be found with either an A1, A1E1 or A2 upper receiver, A1 or A2 lower receiver, and a coated aluminium or fiberlite stock. This particular rifle has an A2 lower, an A1E1 upper (forward assist and case deflector with A1 sights as found on Canadian Colts), and a coated aluminium stock.]]

After 1973 Colt made several lightweight versions of the M16 and Commando rifles for use with Police and Security forces, as well as civilian sales worldwide. It had the features of the XM177 rifle series, including the telescoping stock, but had either a 14.5" or a 16" lightweight barrel, depending on the demands of the customer, whether domestic or foreign. ''It was NOT correct for Viet Nam, despite what the movie '''[[Platoon]]''' portrays.'' Though 'unofficially' called the "M16 Shorty" by some writers and shooters, the 16" barreled lightweight carbine was never adopted formally by the US Military, and thus never had an "M" or "XM" designation. It was used in the U.S. by Federal and local law enforcement. The Model 653 is also the basis for the Diemaco/Colt Canada C8 carbine series (see above).

Colt also made the '''Model 733''', which was a 11.5" barreled version of the Model 653, intended for Tactical police and security work. Later manufactured versions of both guns had A2 style heavy barrels. The '''Model 723''' was a '''733''' designed for export for the UAE and used by US Delta Force.

''What is confusing is that other manufacturers made all sorts of modified short barreled AR-15 rifles for the Police and Civilian markets throughout the years. Colt themselves bastardized so many of their rifles throughout the years, swapping particular uppers with different lowers so that there will always be exceptions to the rule. The explosion of custom and unique looking AR-15 rifles in the 1980s and 1990s has led to a lot of confusion regarding what rifle is in what movie. ''

== M231 Firing Port Weapon ==
[[Image:381portg.jpg|thumb|right|500px|M231 Firing Port Weapon 5.56x45mm]]
The M231 Firing Port Weapon is a stripped-down, bare-bones carbine designed for U.S. Army soldiers riding in the M2 & M3 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles. The FPW was designed to allow soldiers being transported to protect the vulnerable flanks and rear of the IFV while still under armor. The weapon is only capable of full-auto fire with no semi-auto mode. Later upgrades to the Bradley blocked the firing ports on the sides of the hull with extra armor, though FPWs are still carried for the two rear ports covering the loading ramp.

==AR-15 Carbine==
The AR-15 (for Armalite Model 15) Carbine is the common name for the widely-owned semi-automatic rifle which soon afterwards became the selective fire M16 and M4 carbine assault rifles, which are currently in use by the United States military. AR-15 was the original name for what became the militarily designated M16, the assault rifle first used by the U.S. in the Vietnam War. The name AR-15 is now used almost exclusively to refer to the semi-automatic (commercially available) civilian version(s) of the M16 and M4 assault rifles.
Standard AR-15 rifles accept detachable magazines of widely varying capacities, and have a pistol grip that protrudes beneath the stock. AR-15 rifles are highly configurable and customizable. They are commonly fitted with several accessories such as bipods, folding or collapsing stocks, threaded barrels for the attachment of a flash suppressor, and a rail system for the attachment of vertical grips, flashlights, laser sights, telescopic sights, etc.
The AR-15 consists of separate upper and lower receiver assemblies, which are attached with two through-pins and can be quickly interchanged with no tools. The upper receiver assembly is simply considered a part, and may be freely purchased and mail-ordered in most locations. This is a very attractive feature for enthusiasts, who often purchase a number of upper receivers (often in different calibers) and interchange them with the same lower receiver. However, one must be thoroughly familiar with firearms laws before doing this as it is possible to make an illegal configuration.

== M4/M4A1 Carbine ==

[[Image:ColtM4 FirstVersion.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt M4A1 Carbine with 4 position collapsible stock - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:ColtM4A1.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt M4A1 with 6 position collapsible stock - 5.56x45mm. Note slight difference in shape of stock compared to older model M4 (above).]]
[[Image:ColtM4.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt M4A1 Carbine with M68 Aimpoint reflex optic and Knight's Armament RAS railed handguard and vertical forward grip - 5.56x45mm]]

The M4 Carbine is a 14.5" barreled select fire Assault Rifle. It has a distinctive 'step down' in the barrel to allow for mounting the M203 grenade launcher. Many of them in the battlefield are customized with forearm rails (usually holding the AN/PEQ-2 IR designator, a vertical forward grip, sometimes a flashlight, or one of many types of rifle scopes and red-dot or reflex optics). The M4 has three round burst capability, while the M4A1 has full auto fire capability. The very earliest M4s delivered to the U.S. Army had fixed carry handles and were known in Colt's catalog as the Model 777; however, soon after, the military started buying the Model 920, which featured a detachable carry handle, but continued to call these guns "M4s". Contrary to popular misconception, the carry handles on most M4s and M4A1s are detachable, and most of these carbines are used with the carry handle removed, and a folding rear sight and optic being attached to the receiver instead. As far as the procurement program has always been concerned, the burst/auto capability is the only difference between an M4 and M4A1, however, the M4A1 also utilizes a heavier barrel profile under the handguards in order to prevent the barrel from rapidly overheating during fully automatic fire.

What is confusing is that many civilian commercial makers of AR-15 style rifles call their 16" Carbine '''"The M4"'''. Though there is no rule saying they can't name their gun whatever they want, the official M4 is the version used and originally issued by the U.S. Army and built by Colt. Colt tried to sue other gun makers to stop using the term 'M4' however, it was ruled that M4 refers to a '''type''' of firearm and Colt cannot copyright the term.

The Colt Model 933 carbine is similar to the M4 carbine listed above, except with an 11.5" barrel as opposed to the 14.5" barrel on the M4. Aside from that, it has all the same features, including the removable carry handle/rear sight assembly. This has led some people (including Airsoft manufacturers) to nickname it the "M4 Commando" or "M4 CQB", though these are not it's official designations.

[[Image:M4A1CQBR.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Mk. 18 Mod 0 5.56x45mm with RIS handguard]]

An even shorter-barreled M4 Carbine, it has about a 10.5 inch barrel. The upper receiver, which is used on a regular M4 lower receiver, is designated CQB-R (Close Quarters Battle-Receiver), while the entire weapon system is designated as Mark 18 Mod 0 by the United States Navy. Used by Navy VBSS units, NCIS and Navy SEALs. It is another one of the weapons that fell under the 'M4 Commando' nickname as an airsoft gun.

==Colt AR-15A3 Tactical Carbine==
A civilian released carbine rifle with a 16" barrel and a removable carry handle. By designating this rifle as an "A3", much confusion has been made leading people to believe the M16A3 has a removable carry handle as opposed to the M16A4.

==Colt Law Enforcement Carbine==
The "M4A1" of the civilian world, this rifle has a 16" barrel (as opposed to the M4A1's 14.5") with step-cuts to attach a launcher such as an [[M203 grenade launcher]] and the [[Cobray 37mm Launcher]]. In films, this gun has been converted to full auto to trick viewers into believing it is an M4A1, earning it the nickname "M4gery".

=Commercial Copies of the M16 Rifle series=
Many of the guns seen as '''Colt''' model guns aren't Colt at all, but the many other manufacturer copies of the M16/AR-15 series of firearms. The most common clones are the guns made by Bushmaster, PWA and Eagle Arms. Though there are now many semi-automatic rifles made by companies like Panther DPMS and others, most of the Movie Prop houses acquired their guns before the 1990s. So only the most common third party manufacturers will be seen. Since it's difficult to determine which maker built the gun, for the sake of simplicity, the rifle variants in movies will be identified by the COLT model they most look like, unless there is clear evidence of a third party manufacturer. Sometimes this is possible via DVD commentary, direct information from the Armorer, or a clear shot of the manufacturer trademarks on the gun in a screenshot.

== Non Firing Replicas of the M16 Rifle ==
===MGC M-16 Model Gun Corp Replica Rifle===
[[Image:MGC16.jpg|thumb|right|500px|The MGC M16 Assault rifle: a non firing metal replica built by the Model Gun Corp of Japan and one of the most used non firing replicas of the M16 in movies and television. The 'forward assist' on the early models like the one imaged here are bolt inserts to keep the receiver together. Modern MGC M16 replicas have improved by third parties over the years (like adding A1 flash hiders) making it more accurate to the real thing making it harder for 'Connoisseurs' to identify]]
[[Image:MGC16 Closeup.jpg|thumb|right|500px|The MGC M16 Assault rifle: a non firing metal replica built by the Model Gun Corp of Japan. This is a '''closeup''' of the receiver and clearly shows how the ''''fake' forward assist''' is actually a connector with allen nut in the back. Removal of this nut separates the upper and lower receivers.]]
[[Image:MGC CAR-15w20RdMag.jpg|thumb|right|500px|MGC CAR-15 replica assault rifle with 20 round MGC magazine.]]
[[Image:MGC CAR15.jpg|thumb|right|500px|The MGC CAR-15 Assault rifle: Model Gun Corporation's XM177 offering. Interesting enough, MGC called their replica rifle the '''CAR-15''' which was Colt's name for the civilian (non-military designation) rifle, rather than any of the names give by the U.S. Military. This replica rifle was built on the same MGC M16 receiver, however the buttstock was pot metal, not plastic and it did not telescope. Instead the makers of the gun split the difference and locked the non-adjustable stock into the 'half extended/half closed' position. This feature did not enamor replica gun collectors to the weapon and it did not sell well.]]
Before the advent of inexpensive Airsoft guns there were precious few replica weapons that could be used in productions if they didn't want to have a live firing weapon on set, or for a stunt or if they didn't have the budget to get a real gun (and armorer). Though the U.S. Army had a "rubber duck", i.e. slang for the hard rubber training M16 they used, it was not readily available on demand for the movie prop houses of the 1970s and the 1980s. Thus the metal REPLICA gun was used (those models that were actually available for purchase). Model Gun Corporation of Japan made and built excellent quality metal replica guns between the late 1960s and the early 1980s and the most utilized one was the '''MGC M16 assault rifle'''. They were sold in the United States by Collector's Armory, Ltd. (and should not be confused with the inferior quality zinc-pot metal replicas currently coming in from Spain). There is also the '''MGC XM177 Commando''' carbine variant (listed in the catalog as the '''CAR-15'''), which is basically the same as above but with a non-retractable stock for imitation purposes.

If you've seen a movie with M16s in it, chances are you've seen many replicas of the rifle on camera.

In the following, the use of a metal replica M16 was (painfully) obvious:

===Film===
* U.S. Air Force personnel in ''[[WarGames]]'' (1983)

* ''[[Private Benjamin]]'' (1980)

* ''[[Apocalypse Now]]'' : mounted on the PBR boat, shot up by tracer rounds.

* ''[[Full Metal Jacket]]'' : the MGC M16 was visible being held by all soldiers who carried the M16. Only when they were firing on screen, did it switch to a live version of the weapon.

* ''[[Hamburger Hill]]'' : used by background Airborne Soldiers during a medical Evac.

* ''[[The Spy Who Loved Me]]'' : used by the British/Russian/US Navy Sailors during the gun battle on the ''Liparus''.

* ''[[Predator]]'' : Used by Dutch ([[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]), for a scene where his rifle is blown up by the Predator.

* ''[[Commando]]'' : Used by bad guys who kidnap Matrix and hold their M16s on him.

* ''[[Uncommon Valor]]'' : in any of the armory scenes or flashback scenes of soldiers not firing their M16s, the MGC M16 is evident. Also the CAR-15 replica is heavily used by the LRRP teams in the beginning of the film.

* ''[[First Blood]]'' : the Army National Guardsmen are seen holding many MGC M16 rifles. Only when an actor fired, did the weapon change to a real weapon.

* ''[[Rambo: First Blood Part II]]'' : seen in the weapons hold of the pirate boat used to smuggle Rambo up river.

* ''[[Hulk]]'' : when the Hulk explodes out of the ground on Powell Street in San Francisco, many of the U.S. Army Soldiers were carrying MGC-16 replica rifles (in addition to real AR15-A2 rifles). One of the soldiers holding the fake rifle has a closeup in one of the 'split screen' shots of their reaction to the Hulk.

* ''[[The Final Countdown]]'' : used by Marines on the deck of the Nimitz in scenes where there is no firing.

* ''[[Barb Wire]]'' : outfitted with ill fitting 30 round magazines, A2 handguards and A1 birdcage flash hiders, held by Congressionals.

* ''[[Dragon Wars: D-War]]'' : outfitted with ill fitting 30 round magazines, A2 handguards and A1 birdcage flash hiders, used by background U.S. Army troops defending Los Angeles.

* Used by many cadets in ''[[Taps]]''

* ''[[Ghostbusters]]'' : some of the Army National Guard soldiers near the climax can be seen with these weapons fitted with A1-style flash hiders, supplimenting real M16A1's.

* An L.A.P.D. SWAT officer in ''[[Bandits]]'' (fitted with A2-style handguards)

* Used by soldiers in ''[[Land of the Dead]]''

* Used briefly in ''[[Red Spectacles, The|The Red Spectacles]]''

===Television===

* ''[[Matt Houston]]''

* ''[[The Incredible Hulk (TV Series)]]''

* ''[[The A-Team]]''

* ''[[Tour of Duty]]''

* ''[[China Beach]]''

* ''[[V (TV series)]]''

* ''[[V.I.P.]]''

===Adler-Jager AP-74/Armi-Jager AP-15===

Made in Italy and imported by Mitchell Arms (during the 1970s and early 1980s), these M16 clones were chambered for .22 LR and looked very similar to the M16 or M16A1 rifles. The dummy "20 round magazine" was a solid part of the lower receiver. A small .22LR magazine was inserted into the bottom of the dummy magazine. They were used sometimes in films due to budgetary reasons, since low budget films (especially in the 1970s and 80s) could pick up a .22LR M16 clone for less than a real AR-15. There were .22LR guns imported into the U.S. with either Armi-Jager or Adler-Jager markings (but the Armi-Jager was most common), so both names are correct.

Armscor (out of the Philippines) made another .22LR clone rifle, the Armscor M16 22, however this rifle looked even less like a real M16 and was rarely (if ever) used in a film to impersonate an M16 rifle.

Due to popular demand for .22LR versions, a number of manufacturers have produced such models for the civilian market, predominantly for plinking and varmint hunting. Smith & Wesson are offering the MP15-22, a realistic semi-auto copy with 25 rounds capacity that can be equipped with many accessories due to the Picatinny rails.

''Apocalypse Now'' is the 1979 epic Vietnam War film directed by [[Francis Ford Coppola]]. The screenplay was co-written by Coppola and [[John Milius]] and was based on the Joseph Conrad novel ''Heart of Darkness''. The film stars [[Martin Sheen]] as a Special Forces officer sent on a mission downriver to terminate a rogue American colonel ([[Marlon Brando]]). Coppola encounted several production problems while making the film, much of which was documented in the acclaimed 1991 documentary ''Hearts of Darkness''. In 2001, Coppola would release an extended version of the film under the title ''Apocalypse Now Redux''.

'''The following weapons were used in the film ''Apocalypse Now'':'''

==M16==
Col. Kilgore ([[Robert Duvall]]) is seen briefly holding an [[M16_rifle_series#M16_Rifle|M16]] rifle noted by its "slab-side" upper receiver (which lacks a forward assist) after the battle at Vihn Din Drop. Most "slab-side" M16s went to the US Air Force and US Navy during the Vietnam War. The vast majority of US Army troops in Vietnam were issued the XM16E1 and M16A1 rifles, which have a forward assist. It is very unlikely that a US Army unit such as Kilgore's would have had any "slab-side" M16s at this point in the war.

==M60 machine gun==
An [[M60 machine gun]] is seen carried by one of Col. Kilgore's ([[Robert Duvall]]) soldiers that rides in the helicopter with Chef and Clean. Clean ([[Laurence Fishburne]]) is the M60 gunner on the Navy PBR. Chef ([[Frederic Forrest]]) is seen firing the M60 briefly while taking incoming arrows from natives, but switches to the single mounted M2.

==Browning M2HB==
[[Browning M2HB]]s are single and double hand mounted on the Navy PBR. Jay 'Chef' Hicks ([[Frederic Forrest]]) is the rear gunner with the single mounted M2HB (nicknamed after the band "Canned Heat"). Lance Johnson ([[Sam Bottoms]]) is the front gunner with double hand mounted M2's. While traveling on the river through the Do Lung Bridge two soldiers are seen firing an M2 trying to kill a single VC under all the dead VC bodies.

==M1911A1==
An [[M1911 pistol series#M1911A1|M1911A1]] is seen on the nightstand of the Saigon hotel bedroom of Capt. Benjamin Willard ([[Martin Sheen]]). Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore ([[Robert Duvall]]) is seen carrying one with pearl grips that have a Air Cavalry symbol imprinted as his sidearm throughout the movie. In a deleted scene, Col. Walter E. Kurtz ([[Marlon Brando]]) aims Willard's 1911 at him when he's caged.

==M79 grenade launcher==
An [[M79 grenade launcher]] is used by The Roach ([[Herb Rice]]) to kill an NVA soldier hiding in the barbed wire during the scene at the Do Lung bridge. Roach had customized his with a tiger-stripe paint job.

==GE M134 Minigun==
A [[GE M134 Minigun]] is seen door-mounted on one of the UH-1 Huey choppers during the famous raid scene. Being that the movie was filmed in the Philippines, they also supplied the helicopters which were outfitted with real guns. Since the weapons require no blank adaption to fire, all they needed was lots of blank ammunition to get the guns running.

==Norinco Type 56==
NVA are seen using [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Norinco Type 56]] assault rifles throughout the film, and they are also seen in the hands of Kurtz's men. It is noteworthy that this film was released in 1979 and took nearly three years to complete (thus photography started in 1976). During the 1970s, the Norinco Type 56 were not being imported into the U.S., and none were in U.S. Armorer inventories. The only reason Coppola's film had them was because they were supplied by Filipino armorers in Luzon.

==Ithaca 37==
Capt. Colby ([[Scott Glenn]]) carries an [[Ithaca 37]] fitted with a heat shield and bayonet lug. In a deleted scene, he uses it to kill the photojournalist ([[Dennis Hopper]]) for taking Kurtz's picture only for Willard to throw his knife hitting him in the gut, killing him.

This is the version seen after late 1945 and all the way until the 1960s. This version is seen most often in World War II movies, despite being anachronistic for most World War II battles]]

A [[GE M134 Minigun]] is seen door-mounted on one of the UH-1 Huey choppers during the famous raid scene. Being that the movie was filmed in the Philippines, they also supplied the helicopters which were outfitted with real guns. Since the weapons require no blank adaption to fire, all they needed was lots of blank ammunition to get the guns running.

NVA are seen using [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Norinco Type 56]] assault rifles throughout the film, and they are also seen in the hands of Kurtz's men. It is noteworthy that this film was released in 1979 and took nearly three years to complete (thus photography started in 1976). During the 1970s, the Norinco Type 56 were not being imported into the U.S., and none were in U.S. Armorer inventories. The only reason Coppola's film had them was because they were supplied by Filipino armorers in Luzon.

Apocalypse Now

Rhurst1945: Clarified M16 use by USAF and USN.

[[Image:ApocalypseNow.jpg‎|thumb|right|300px|''Apocalypse Now Redux (2001)'']]

''Apocalypse Now'' is the 1979 epic Vietnam War film directed by [[Francis Ford Coppola]]. The screenplay was co-written by Coppola and [[John Milius]] and was based on the Joseph Conrad novel ''Heart of Darkness''. The film stars [[Martin Sheen]] as a Special Forces officer sent on a mission downriver to terminate a rogue American colonel ([[Marlon Brando]]). Coppola encounted several production problems while making the film, much of which was documented in the acclaimed 1991 documentary ''Hearts of Darkness''. In 2001, Coppola would release an extended version of the film under the title ''Apocalypse Now Redux''.

'''The following weapons were used in the film ''Apocalypse Now'':'''

__TOC__ 

==M16A1==
[[M16_rifle_series#M16A1_Rifle|M16A1]] fitted with 30 round "curved" magazines are used by various characters throughout the film. While the 30 round magazine was not the norm for the M16 in Vietnam, it would technically be accurate (since the film takes place in 1969), but probably not as prevalent in the film.

The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill! Smelled like...victory!]]

==M16==
Col. Kilgore ([[Robert Duvall]]) is seen briefly holding an [[M16_rifle_series#M16_Rifle|M16]] rifle noted by its "slab-side" upper receiver (which lacks a forward assist) after the battle at Vihn Din Drop. Most "slab-side" M16s went to the US Air Force and US Navy during the Vietnam War. The vast majority of US Army troops in Vietnam were issued the XM16E1 and M16A1 rifles, which have a forward assist. It is very unlikely that a US Army unit such as Kilgore's would have had any "slab-side" M16s at this point in the war.

''Apocalypse Now'' is the 1979 epic Vietnam War film directed by [[Francis Ford Coppola]]. The screenplay was co-written by Coppola and [[John Milius]] and was based on the Joseph Conrad novel ''Heart of Darkness''. The film stars [[Martin Sheen]] as a Special Forces officer sent on a mission downriver to terminate a rogue American colonel ([[Marlon Brando]]). Coppola encounted several production problems while making the film, much of which was documented in the acclaimed 1991 documentary ''Hearts of Darkness''. In 2001, Coppola would release an extended version of the film under the title ''Apocalypse Now Redux''.

'''The following weapons were used in the film ''Apocalypse Now'':'''

__TOC__ 

==M16A1==
[[M16_rifle_series#M16A1_Rifle|M16A1]] fitted with 30 round "curved" magazines are used by various characters throughout the film. While the 30 round magazine was not the norm for the M16 in Vietnam, it would technically be accurate (since the film takes place in 1969), but probably not as prevalent in the film.

[[Image:ApnowM16-7.jpg|thumb|none|601px|'''Kilgore:''' Smell that? You smell that? '''Lance:''' What? '''Kilgore:''' Napalm, son! Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body! The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill! Smelled like...victory!]]

[[Image:ApnowM16-15.jpg|thumb|none|601px|Capt. Willard with his M16A1 before surrendering it to the colonists.]]

==M16==
Col. Kilgore ([[Robert Duvall]]) is seen briefly holding an [[M16_rifle_series#M16_Rifle|M16]] rifle noted by its "slab-side" upper receiver (which lacks a forward assist) after the battle at Vihn Din Drop. The gun notably has an A1-style lower receiver, as evident by the fencing around the magazine, meaning this is likely an M16 as used by the US Air Force and US Navy in Vietnam. The vast majority of US Army troops in Vietnam were issued the XM16E1 and M16A1 rifles, which have a forward assist. It is very unlikely that a US Army unit such as Kilgore's would have had any "slab-side" M16s at this point in the war.

[[Image:ApnowM16-16.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Two MGC M16 replicas being shot up.]]

==M60 machine gun==
An [[M60 machine gun]] is seen carried by one of Col. Kilgore's ([[Robert Duvall]]) soldiers that rides in the helicopter with Chef and Clean. Clean ([[Laurence Fishburne]]) is the M60 gunner on the Navy PBR. Chef ([[Frederic Forrest]]) is seen firing the M60 briefly while taking incoming arrows from natives, but switches to the single mounted M2.

[[Image:ApnowM60-8.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Clean fires the M60 while taking incoming tracer rounds. As what was common in Vietnam, a "C-rat" can is attached to the machine gun in order to prevent the rounds from snagging.]]

[[Image:ApnowM60-10.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Chef with the M60 before switching to the M2.]]

==M60D==
[[M60_machine_gun#M60D_Machine_Gun|M60D]] machine guns are mounted on Col. Kilgore's ([[Robert Duvall]]) choppers during the battle at Vinh Din Drop.
[[Image:M60d.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M60D machine gun - 7.62x51mm NATO.]]

==Browning M2HB==
[[Browning M2HB]]s are single and double hand mounted on the Navy PBR. Jay 'Chef' Hicks ([[Frederic Forrest]]) is the rear gunner with the single mounted M2HB (nicknamed after the band "Canned Heat"). Lance Johnson ([[Sam Bottoms]]) is the front gunner with double hand mounted M2's. While traveling on the river through the Do Lung Bridge two soldiers are seen firing an M2 trying to kill a single VC under all the dead VC bodies.

==M1911A1==
An [[M1911 pistol series#M1911A1|M1911A1]] is seen on the nightstand of the Saigon hotel bedroom of Capt. Benjamin Willard ([[Martin Sheen]]). Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore ([[Robert Duvall]]) is seen carrying one with pearl grips that have a Air Cavalry symbol imprinted as his sidearm throughout the movie. In a deleted scene, Col. Walter E. Kurtz ([[Marlon Brando]]) aims Willard's 1911 at him when he's caged.

==M79 grenade launcher==
An [[M79 grenade launcher]] is used by The Roach ([[Herb Rice]]) to kill an NVA soldier hiding in the barbed wire during the scene at the Do Lung bridge. Roach had customized his with a tiger-stripe paint job.
[[Image:M79-Grenade-Launcher.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M79 grenade launcher - 40mm.]]

[[Image:ApnowM79-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Roach fires his M79 grenade launcher. Note how in this scene he wraps the sling around his arm, a well known technique to steady aim.]]

==GE M134 Minigun==
A [[GE M134 Minigun]] is seen door-mounted on one of the UH-1 Huey choppers during the famous raid scene. Being that the movie was filmed in the Philippines, they also supplied the helicopters which were outfitted with real guns. Since the weapons require no blank adaption to fire, all they needed was lots of blank ammunition to get the guns running.

==Norinco Type 56==
NVA are seen using [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Norinco Type 56]] assault rifles throughout the film, and they are also seen in the hands of Kurtz's men. It is noteworthy that this film was released in 1979 and took nearly three years to complete (thus photography started in 1976). During the 1970s, the Norinco Type 56 were not being imported into the U.S., and none were in U.S. Armorer inventories. The only reason Coppola's film had them was because they were supplied by Filipino armorers in Luzon.
