<p>Rusgunnut1: </p> <hr /> <div>I just added alot of Pictures to the page. I know their not perfect but they are alot better than just a list of guns. [[User:Rockwolf66|Rockwolf66]] 04:31, 2 April 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> May I post addon weapons? (Snakevenom56)<br /> <br /> :I'd strongly advise against it. --[[User:MattyDienhoff|MattyDienhoff]] 05:10, 6 January 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::Okay (Snakevenom56)<br /> <br /> :::Meh? Why not?<br /> <br /> ::::Because: ''where would it end''? I'll just use ArmA's predecessor -- [[Operation Flashpoint]] -- as an example. There have been countless addon weapons released for that game, including many different versions of the same weapons, made by different authors at various levels of quality. Should I take screenshots of all of those addon weapons, including multiple examples of the same weapon by different authors, just because I can? No. It's just a massive waste of time and energy and it'll invariably end up being confusing and messy. Most of the game articles on this site are already on thin ice as it is, there's no reason to get ridiculous. --[[User:MattyDienhoff|MattyDienhoff]] 19:10, 19 January 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :::::If someone really wants to screencap the weapons listed for this game though, it would be much appreciated. --[[User:Markit|Markit]] 02:47, 20 January 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::::::I just thought it would be a okay idea, for those who are like "aw, no FAMAS" or "aw, the RPK-74 has a drum mag" and could see there are addons of the guns they may like and RPKs with the correct magazine (Snake)<br /> <br /> '''Eotech'''<br /> <br /> In a description, it says the EoTech model is a 552. I don't know what model it is, but it's way too short for a 552 12:13, 22 June 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Operation Arrowhead ==<br /> Shouldn't Operation Arrowhead have its own page? I believe it is a standalone mod. -Chris_Hun7er 06:32, 30 May 2010</div>

<p>Rusgunnut1: /* AK-47 and the Bennelli */</p> <hr /> <div>== AK-47 and the Bennelli ==<br /> <br /> The AK-47 is an AKM and the Bennelli is an SPAS-12.-[[User:Oliveira|Oliveira]] 11:42, 30 June 2009 (UTC)<br /> :Actually, the AK is an Type 56 with an AKM muzzle break.-[[User:Oliveira|Oliveira]] 20:29, 30 June 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> The stuff about the M4s and the AKS74U is off. The M4s appear to be CAR15 type rifles (with the elongated flash hider) or 733s (with thin supressors). They all have the early type stock. Also, that looks like an AKS or AKMS, certainly not an AKS74U. 10:20, 22 June 2010 (UTC)</div>

<p>Rusgunnut1: </p> <hr /> <div>==PC version weapons finally completed, with some final concerns==<br /> <br /> At long last, the PC version's weapons have finally been completed. Still, I'd like some help identifying just which version of the [[FN MAG]] is in the game, or what kind of anti-tank mine is seen in the PC version. Those are pretty much the only shortcomings of what I've posted up about the PC version so far. <br /> <br /> Of course, anyone who can contribute screenshots and pertinent information (firing modes, magazine capacities, who can use it) on firearms in the console versions would be most welcome to. This page deserves better than to be stuck with the "Incomplete" tag forever! [[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 23:06, 29 January 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> can you get the 1st person view that shows the weapons on the console versions<br /> <br /> you can get 1st person but you can only see the crosshare<br /> <br /> == F2000 ==<br /> <br /> Unless it's a DLC (downloadable content) weapon, the F2000/SC20K is NOT in the 360 version of the game. I have it and have played it up and down the wall more times than I can count, and have never seen or used it. It's not listed in the game's weapon index, and the game strategy guide doesn't list it, either (my comment I cut and pasted from the front page). [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 08:28, 8 March 2009 (UTC) Spartan198<br /> <br /> Hi, this is the creator of the Xbox 360 GRAW 2 page edits. The FN2000 was in the "More Guns" DLC pack released for the console version. The new guns are:<br /> <br /> Rx4 Storm/XL7;<br /> AKS-74U;<br /> AUG A3;<br /> QBU-88 Sniper;<br /> QBZ-95;<br /> MG36 SAW;<br /> SC-20K / F2000 Tactical;<br /> <br /> Hope this helps.<br /> :Yes, that clears things up. Thanks. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 14:48, 11 January 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Wait, no... that doesn't clear things up. I don't have Xbox Live to get any DLC for the game, yet I already have all the weapons in that list ''except'' the F2000... [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 04:34, 13 February 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==PC version==<br /> This game must suck on the PC due to the fact that it has about 1/3 of the guns that the console versions have-[[User:S&amp;Wshooter|S&amp;Wshooter]] 19:28, 13 August 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> <br /> The Xbox360 and PS3 versions were made by Red Storm, the original creators of Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon (the PC version was made by the now defunct GRiN studios), and they are indeed far superior to the PC version.<br /> <br /> Well, it sucks if you must have EVERY SINGLE GUN IN EXISTENCE. Otherwise, the PC version's a superior tactical shooter. None of that console run-and-gun here.<br /> <br /> GRAW is far from a "run-and-gun" shooter on the console. The only major differences from it and the original Ghost Recon gameplay wise are the revamped squad control system and the fact that it's no longer played in first person.<br /> <br /> ==G36==<br /> :Are you positive it's a G36? It could possibly be a FX-05 Xiuhcoatl[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FX-05_Xiuhcoatl], seeing as that it is the Mexican military's standard rifle, it looks alot like the G36 (enough for H&K to get pissed at the Mexican gov't about it) and the rebels are Mexican-[[User:S&amp;Wshooter|S&amp;Wshooter]] 01:38, 15 October 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> The game refers to it as a "G36K," which was initially to be the new Mexican Army assault rifle but the Mexicans decided to go with the indigenous FX-05 instead. I haven't played the game in a while (and I don't have my 360 with me at the moment), so I can't check which rifle it actually is.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''Ragnar - unregistered member:''' I am 100% sure that in PC version it is really G36K(E) - it has standard HK features like G36 stock, charging/cocking handle beneath the carry handle - FX is little different in these parts (compare photos); and the forward handguard has 4 venting holes in single line (through it is the K version)<br /> <br /> G36K(E) GRAW2 - First Person view<br /> <br /> http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/7156/graw22009101511023018.jpg<br /> <br /> :M'kay. I was just checking-[[User:S&amp;Wshooter|S&amp;Wshooter]] 22:49, 15 October 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Отличный блог! ==<br /> <br /> С некоторыми ответами я не согласен.<br /> <br /> 1. This is an English site.<br /> 2. This isn't a blog.<br /> 3. If you don't agree with something on the page, you have to say what it is or we can't do anything to fix/improve it. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 14:50, 11 January 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Pictures? ==<br /> <br /> I have this game on my 360 so can I take pictures of the game on my TV and use those as screen shots? or are we just leaving those guns that are only available on the 360 blank? --[[User:ThePotShot|ThePotShot]] 05:24, 13 November 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Thank you all ==<br /> <br /> I just want too take some time too Thank everyone for doing what you do and making the community what it is im a long time reader and first time poster so i just wanted to say thanks.<br /> <br /> ==Reload Animations==<br /> Is it just me or are the reload animations for the guns on the console versions weird? Whenever you're in third-person mode, Captain Mitchell just moves his hands and the magazine just stays there. [[User:GunEnthusiast|GunEnthusiast]] 22:55, 11 January 2010 (UTC)<br /> :Reloading animations have nothing to do with that, it's a graphical issue. It would have taken memory to model and skin every individual type of magazine, memory that was probably better-used elsewhere. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 04:04, 12 January 2010 (UTC)<br /> ::<br>Makes sense, thanks for explaining it for me! [[User:GunEnthusiast|GunEnthusiast]] 01:36, 13 January 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==Requests for screenshots for PS3/XBOX360 weapons==<br /> I would like to see screenshots for the console-only weapons like the M16A4 and others.<br /> --[[User:Dangerman 1973|Dangerman 1973]] 01:06, 13 February 2010 (UTC)<br /> :You and me both. I contributed a lot to the PC version's weapons on this page, and I'm quite curious to see the relevant info and screenshots for the console-only weapons. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 17:45, 13 February 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == The SIG 556 DMR is not fictional ==<br /> <br /> Why does it say that a DMR variant is fictional? I have seen this rifle personally in real life and its listed on SIG Sauers website.--[[User:FIVETWOSEVEN|FIVETWOSEVEN]] 23:09, 25 March 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Crye Associates MR-C ==<br /> This is very interesting rifle. What is exact metric designation of cartridge? 6.8x?mm.--[[User:RedCharger|RedCharger]] 09:29, 5 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> The game says it is a 5mm. So, something like 30-40mm long maybe? [[User:Mandolin|Mandolin]] 14:04, 5 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> As I wrote down in the article, the caliber description for the PC version is quite uninformative, giving only a "5mm" for the MR-C. Then again, the gun descriptions aren't well made anyhow with plenty of other errors and omissions, so it's not unusual. The game's not going to help you much there. There's also the problem that the MR-C was never constructed in a working prototye form, unlike the G-11. If it was, then it would have definitively been chambered in at least SOMETHING to be considered a "working" prototype. <br /> <br /> If the MR-C ever gets to be produced in real life, a bunch of factors also come into play, such as which industry lobby group gets its way, which test skew which way, who gets the most funding, all of which could affect the final outcome, just like how the widespread adoption of 5.56x45mm was decided on not due to its proven terminal performance (which in some cases has been less than satisfactory). --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 18:08, 5 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> The Xbox360/PS3 version says the MR-C uses "6.8mm Caseless"and is supported by this promotional image: http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091224032321/ghostrecon/images/e/ee/Mrc_gl.jpg<br /> <br /> :Sadly the caliber on the promo art isn't very informative since it only indicates the bullet diameter, not the cartridge length as well. I posted a screenshot showing the player character loading the magazine into the MR-C, and I highly doubt that 50(!) cartridges of 6.8mm bullets could fit into a magazine of the implied dimensions. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 02:12, 14 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Is it me or is the game a complete rip-off (or vice versa) of Rainbow Six vegas? -Dam is taken over by terrorists, turns out to be military base, helicopter tries to kill you.</div>

<p>Rusgunnut1: </p> <hr /> <div>Has anyone seen the movie this game is based off of?-[[Special:Contributions/76.31.5.208|76.31.5.208]] 00:23, 24 June 2009 (UTC) (S&Wshooter)<br /> <br /> :No, I haven't.

It adds about 80 new weapon models (no joke), all with good textures, new (mostly accurate) animations, sounds, HUD icons, descriptions in the menu... All properly coded so they have realistic stats. Almost all of the default weapon models are replaced with new (non-mirrored) ones, almost all weapon animations are reworked, so there's no more pointless slide-pulling when you equip pistols, there are different animations for dry and partial reloads, and the depiction of recoil looks a lot better, it's not so rigid now. Finally, many of the game's peculiarities are fixed (the Desert Eagle now fires .50AE, not .45 ACP, for example). All told it makes the game's weaponry ''far'' more authentic. --[[User:MattyDienhoff|MattyDienhoff]] 13:09, 16 July 2009 (UTC)<br /> :This mod is incredibly cool, especially if it matter to you to have different versions of the same gun. Aesthetic choices are much expanded, such as different furniture(wood, bakelite, plastic, camo colors etc) for AKs. It gets really cool if you combine it with Oblivion Lost, which has it's own additions(such as MAC 10s, FN P90s, etc). It does take a large number of additional files to get the two mods to work together and work with STALKER. Not to mention, your computer.

The TOZ-34 over/under shotgun, Browning Hi-Power and Beretta 92FS were all in the first game, but the first two only existed in the data and were never actually usable in-game, while the Beretta was extremely rare (it was carried by one character only). The second game, Clear Sky, made full use of all of these guns, and added one new one, the PKM. Finally, the third game, Call of Pripyat, includes all of the weapons from the previous two games and adds one, the Armsel Protecta.<br /> <br /> :::::Finally, I've been playing Call of Pripyat all week and I'm fairly sure that the Protecta (named "Eliminator" in-game) is portrayed as fully automatic and doesn't have to be modified as such. --[[User:MattyDienhoff|MattyDienhoff]] 11:03, 5 March 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :::::Yeah, I agree that this page should be moved to "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series" and include all the firearms from Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky, and Call of Pripyat.

The 12 round capacity(when upgraded), and the use of overpressure rounds. --[[User:ManiacallyChallenged|ManiacallyChallenged]]<br /> <br /> :That depends on whether we go by appearances or specifications. I vote appearances, because:<br /> <br /> :* It's unlikely that the developers knew (or cared) whether the original PM could use overpressure ammunition (remember, they thought having a Desert Eagle chambered in .45 ACP was an acceptable break from realism)<br /> :* The upgrade system doesn't even have the slightest pretense towards realism. In all cases, the 'extended magazine' upgrades are <br /> just pure fantasy. You pay the technician and *poof*, your gun's magazine holds more bullets despite being ''exactly the same size'' as it was before.<br /> <br /> :The gun in the games is visibly a Makarov PM, the Makarov PMM has a quite obviously enlarged grip to accommodate the larger ammo capacity, which the in-game model lacks. :Compare the two pictures below:<br /> [[Image:MakarovPM.jpg|none|thumb|300px|Makarov PM.]][[Image:Makarov PMM.jpg|none|thumb|300px|Makarov PMM.]]<br /> :with [http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/2030/socpm.jpg this one]. --[[User:MattyDienhoff|MattyDienhoff]] 11:45, 5 March 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Well the Desert Eagle being chambered in .45 was most likely because there werent any other guns chambered in the calibres it used like .357 or .44 in game -[[User:5t3v0|5t3v0]]<br /> :::.45?? Pff, c'mon... There is a Deagle in the game chambered in 9x39!!<br /> ::::Ah, you are totally right. I saw the black color, put 2 and 2 together, and got 5. My bad. As for the Eagle, at least the 9x39 was a custom job, nevermind how the bullets fit in the magazine(maybe diagonally?) --[[User:ManiacallyChallenged|ManiacallyChallenged]]<br /> <br /> I was saying as a gameplay decision. The gun is as rare as it is in the vanilla game, what is the point of adding in a calibre that only one pistol that can only be found in one place (supposibly in 2 places, but the second only gets you a USP 45) its own calibre? -[[User:5t3v0|5t3v0]]</div>

The second game, Clear Sky, made full use of all of these guns, and added one new one, the PKM. Finally, the third game, Call of Pripyat, includes all of the weapons from the previous two games and adds one, the Armsel Protecta.<br /> <br /> :::::Finally, I've been playing Call of Pripyat all week and I'm fairly sure that the Protecta (named "Eliminator" in-game) is portrayed as fully automatic and doesn't have to be modified as such. --[[User:MattyDienhoff|MattyDienhoff]] 11:03, 5 March 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :::::Yeah, I agree that this page should be moved to "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series" and include all the firearms from Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky, and Call of Pripyat. Redirect terms for the search engine should point to this new page as well, such as the individual episode titles as well as the two different ways of typing "S.T.A.L.K.E.R." (with and without the periods). --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 22:20, 8 March 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==Clear Sky==<br /> :If someone wants me to I could possibly try and find out the whole weapons list for Clear Sky. I have the Russia only special edition. All I would need to do for that is get a translator, as the whole game is in Russian-[[User:S&amp;Wshooter|S&amp;Wshooter]] 04:26, 12 August 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Clear sky Didn't actually add much. All it added was the PKM and made the unused but fully functional weapons available and the "martha" more promenient- 5t3v0<br /> <br /> ==Makarov PM==<br /> That ain't a Makarov PM, it's the updated version from the 70s or something, called the Makarov PMM, hence the designation in game. How can you tell? The 12 round capacity(when upgraded), and the use of overpressure rounds. --[[User:ManiacallyChallenged|ManiacallyChallenged]]<br /> <br /> :That depends on whether we go by appearances or specifications. I vote appearances, because:<br /> <br /> :* It's unlikely that the developers knew (or cared) whether the original PM could use overpressure ammunition (remember, they thought having a Desert Eagle chambered in .45 ACP was an acceptable break from realism)<br /> :* The upgrade system doesn't even have the slightest pretense towards realism. In all cases, the 'extended magazine' upgrades are <br /> just pure fantasy. You pay the technician and *poof*, your gun's magazine holds more bullets despite being ''exactly the same size'' as it was before.<br /> <br /> :The gun in the games is visibly a Makarov PM, the Makarov PMM has a quite obviously enlarged grip to accommodate the larger ammo capacity, which the in-game model lacks. :Compare the two pictures below:<br /> [[Image:MakarovPM.jpg|none|thumb|300px|Makarov PM.]][[Image:Makarov PMM.jpg|none|thumb|300px|Makarov PMM.]]<br /> :with [http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/2030/socpm.jpg this one]. --[[User:MattyDienhoff|MattyDienhoff]] 11:45, 5 March 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Well the Desert Eagle being chambered in .45 was most likely because there werent any other guns chambered in the calibres it used like .357 or .44 in game -[[User:5t3v0|5t3v0]]<br /> :::.45?? Pff, c'mon... There is a Deagle in the game chambered in 9x39!!<br /> ::::Ah, you are totally right. I saw the black color, put 2 and 2 together, and got 5. My bad. As for the Eagle, at least the 9x39 was a custom job, nevermind how the bullets fit in the magazine(maybe diagonally?) --[[User:ManiacallyChallenged|ManiacallyChallenged]]<br /> <br /> I was saying as a gameplay decision. The gun is as rare as it is in the vanilla game, what is the point of adding in a calibre that only one pistol that can only be found in one place (supposibly in 2 places, but the second only gets you a USP 45) its own calibre? -[[User:5t3v0|5t3v0]]</div>

Rusgunnut1 https://www.buildlogs.org/index.php?title=Black_Hawk_Down&diff=215727 Black Hawk Down 2009-12-16T18:57:57Z

<p>Rusgunnut1: /* M1911A1 */</p> <hr /> <div>'''The following weapons were used in the film ''Black Hawk Down''':''<br /> [[Image:Black hawk down ver1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|''[[Black Hawk Down]]'' (2001)]]<br /> <br /> == Colt Commando ==<br /> <br /> The Delta operators mainly wield the M727 and M733 variants of the [[M16 rifle series#Colt XM177/CAR-15/Commando Series |Colt Commando]]. The M727 variant is identified by its A2 upper receiver and 14.5" barrel with the cutout for mounting an M203 grenade launcher; the M733 has the shorter 11.5" barrel. Staff Sgt. Daniel Busch ([[Richard Tyson]]) is the first Delta member on screen, and also the first soldier we see carrying an [[M16 rifle series#Colt Carbine/Model 653/Model 733|M727]]. All Delta members carry M727s and M733s, fitted with various accessories such as Aimpoint scopes and surefire flashlights. Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) can be seen carrying an M733 featuring a camouflage paint scheme and a sound suppressor, which is then used by Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]) to pick off several more Somalis before running out of ammunition and being overwhelmed. <br /> <br /> [[Image:Coltm727ima.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt Model 727 5.56x45mm]]<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Delta Customs===<br /> The Delta Force operators arm themselves differently from the Rangers by using customized Colt Model 727 and 733 rifles as opposed to longer, heavier M16A2 rifles. Many are fitted with such accessories as Aimpoint scopes, surefire tactical lights (with the pressure switch taped to the handguard with 100mph or electrical tape). Some of the Colts have camouflage paint schemes, and some of them are fitted with 14.5" barrels with M203 cuts (M727). <br /> [[Image:BHD-M733.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Delta Force SSgt. Busch ([[Richard Tyson]]) aims an M727 carbine at Somali militants raiding a Red Cross food distribution center while aboard a Blackhawk. Note the flashlight pressure switch taped to the handguard.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M733-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Delta Force Sgt. Sanderson ([[William Fichtner]]) fires his M727 carbine.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sgt. Hoot ([[Eric Bana]]) uses his M727 to shoot out of a Humvee window.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-6.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Wounded SSgt. Busch climbs out of his crashed Blackhawk and fires his M727 at the Somalis.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sgt. Sanderson fires his M727 during the "Mogadishu Mile"..]]<br /> <br /> [[Image:Colt Model 733.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt Model 733 with 11.5" Barrel (The Model 723 is the export model of the same weapon - used by forces of the UAE and US Delta Force) 5.56mm]]<br /> <br /> ===Rangers===<br /> While the Rangers are armed almost entirely with [[M16A2]] rifles, Capt. Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) uses an M733 rifle, noted by the 11.5" barrel, with nothing modified or changed. "Doc" Schmid ([[Hugh Dancy]]) also uses an M733, presumably because as a medic, he would need a lighter, more versatile weapon to move quickly to wounded soldiers.<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Cpt. Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) with his M733 carbine.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Steele shows the Delta Operators you don't need a fancy scope to fire an M733. Iron sights.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Ranger medic Sgt. Schmid ([[Hugh Dancy]]) with his M733 in hand.]]<br /> <br /> ===Delta Sniper===<br /> Delta Force Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) uses a [[M16 rifle series|CAR15A2]] rifle modified with camo paint, scope and a tactical light, but his is also fitted with a sound suppressor. Shughart gives this rifle to the wounded Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant, who uses it before it runs out of ammo.<br /> [[Image:BHDCommandoSuppressed-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) hovers above the second crash site with his suppressed M733.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommandoSuppressed-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gordon fires his suppressed M733 in defense of the crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommandoSuppressed-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mike Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]) with Gordon's M733.]]<br /> <br /> ===CAR-15===<br /> Some of the Deltas Operators are seen using [[M16 rifle series#Colt XM177/CAR-15/Commando Series |Colt Commando CAR-15]] carbines with the original long type muzzle break, which are also heavily customized. There is a high possibility they are built from several Commando types so a definite I.D. isn't certain unless the armorer can verify it.<br /> <br /> [[Image:BHDXM177E2-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta with his CAR-15 A2 rifle at the ready, right side.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 2006.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta with a CAR-15.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDXM177E2-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta operator fires on a Somali .50 gunner with his CAR-15.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt M4 carbine==<br /> Hoot seems to use an [[M16 rifle series|Colt M4 carbine]] rifle with the same customizations and paint job as the Commando rifles when doing solo operations in Somalia, noted by its removable carry handle. He uses it to shoot a wild boar from a chopper, and is chastized by Cpt. Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) for keeping the weapon's safety off in the baracks. It is noted as an M4, the burst rifle varient because the M4A1, the full-auto varient had not been issued yet. The M4A1 would begin issue around 1995 or so. One of the Deltas is also seen using an M4 carbine during the operation itself.<br /> <br /> A bit of anachronism here, both the M4 and M4A1 entered service in 1994, a year after the events of this film (in 1993), so the M4 should technically not be in Hoot's hands. The probable reason was the fact that most of the earlier M16 Carbines are hard to come by, so they needed something to fill that gap.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ColtM4 FirstVersion.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Colt M4 carbine 5.56x45mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM4-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"Who's hungry?" Hoot readies his M4 carbine to shoot a wild boar. Note flashlight pressure switch attached to the handguards with electric tape. Also note that Hoot racks the action twice; once when he boards the chopper, and another time when he readies to shoot the boar.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM4-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Cpt. Steele points out to Hoot that whether a undisciplined Delta Operator or not, his M4 carbine should be safetied in the barracks. Hoot replies "This is my safety" and bends his pointer finger. Note the knobs on the carry handle used to remove it from the gun and custom pistol grip.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM4-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta operator breaches and clears with an M4 carbine in hand. Note the removable carry handle.]]<br /> <br /> == M60 machine gun ==<br /> Specialist Shawn Nelson ([[Ewen Bremner]]) can be seen carrying an [[M60 machine gun]] machine gun as his standard weapon. Some of the Somalis can be seen using them as well.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M60.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M60 - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M60.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Nelson with his M60.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-Blanks.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Nelson with his M60, here clearly loaded with blanks.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M60-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Nelson fires his M60.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Nelson firing his M60.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali fires an M60 at the Deltas.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali fires an M60 at the humvees.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-1-1-1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Ranger fires his M60 at the Somalis.]]<br /> <br /> == FN Minimi ==<br /> <br /> Several Rangers can be seen carrying [[FN Minimi|FN Minimis]] throughout the film, standing in for the [[FN Minimi|M249-E1 SAW]]. It is also the weapon used by Specialist Lance Twombly ([[Tom Hardy]]) to accidentally deafen Nelson when he fires it too close to his head. The Minimis are also fitted with circular 200-round cloth ammo bags instead of hard plastic drums.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M249 FN MINIMI DA-SC-85-11586 c1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|FN Minimi 5.56x45mm with 200-round ammo drum]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M249-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|PFC John Waddell ([[Ian Virgo]]) with an FN Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M249.jpg|thumb|none|600px|PFC John Waddell ([[Ian Virgo]]) firing his Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Twombley with his FN Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Close up of the charging handle rocking in slow motion on the FN Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Twombley with his FN Minimi, yelling to Yurek about how they almost killed him]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Ranger fires his FN Minimi during the "Mogadishu Mile"]]<br /> <br /> == M16A2 ==<br /> <br /> Staff Sgt. Matt Eversmann ([[Josh Hartnett]]) leads his Rangers armed, like most of them, with an [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]].<br /> <br /> [[Image:M16A2.jpg|thumb|450px|none|M16A2 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M16-3.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|SSgt. Eversmann ([[Josh Hartnett]]) leads his Ranger team, many armed with M16A2s]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M16-4.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Eversmann firing his M16A2 at Somali militia as the Rangers make their way to the first Blackhawk crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A2-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sgt. Mike Goodale ([[Carmine Giovinazzo]]) fires his M16A2 while making his way to the first Blackhawk crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A2-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Eversmann fires his M16A2 during the rescue of SSgt. Busch. The pilot on the left is CWO Keith Jones, who was the pilot who rescued the real Busch during the actual event.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A2-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Goodale ([[Carmine Giovinazzo]]) with his M16A2 as the Rangers and Delta hold off the Somalia forces.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A2shugart.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Delta Force SFC Randy Shughart ([[Johnny Strong]]) switches between his M14 and an M16A2 as the Delta snipers defend their position at the second crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A2-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Probably the only Ranger in the film to fire bursts from his M16A2. Rangers are usually trained not to fire in bursts unless "they have a damn good reason", as quoted by several Drill Sergeants.]]<br /> <br /> == M14 Rifle ==<br /> The [[M14 Rifle#M14 Rifle|M14 rifle]] is seen being used by Delta Force Sergeant First Class Randy Shughart ([[Johnny Strong]]), most notably when he and Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) are covering the second crash site. His M14 sports a camouflage paint scheme and an M68 Aimpoint scope. <br /> [[Image:M14Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M14 rifle - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M21.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|SFC Shughart fires his M14. This shot appears to have been reversed. Note how the bolt and the battery slot on the Aimpoint is on the left side, not the right. Also see how Shughart and Gordon (off-shot) are right-handed in the other shots except for this one.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M21-2.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|SFC Shughart covers the second crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM14-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|SFC Shughart fires his M14 in defense of the second crash site.]]<br /> <br /> ==M16A1==<br /> [[M16#M16A1 Rifle|M16A1]] rifles are seen in the Somali arms dealer's shop and one militia member is seen loading up one. At one point, Rangers can be seen watching a portion of the film ''[[Jerk, The|The Jerk]]'' where a madman is trying to shoot the protagonist using a scoped M16A1.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M16A1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M16A1 - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|M16A1 rifles hang in the dealer's shop along with M16A2s, likely captured from American forces.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A1-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A TV Beales ([[Ioan Gruffudd]]) is watching showing a scene from ''The Jerk'' where a man is firing a scoped M16A1 moments before Beales' epilepsy kicks in and he seizes.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A1-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A militiaman picks up an M16A1 with the flash hider removed and with a strange smooth ten round magazine.]]<br /> <br /> ==CETME==<br /> Spanish [[CETME]] rifles are seen among the weapons in the arms dealer's shop, many of which are taken by the militia to combat the U.S. forces. They are not [[Heckler & Koch G3]]s, most notabley because they have a simple fixed sight instead of a rear sight spindle.<br /> [[Image:cetme.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Spanish CETME rifle chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCETME-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Militia members pick up CETME rifles in the dealer's shop.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCETME-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|CETME rifles hanging next to the dealer.]]<br /> <br /> == Heckler & Koch G3A3 ==<br /> <br /> The local militia arm themselves with, among many other weapons, [[Heckler & Koch G3|Heckler & Koch G3A3]] assault rifles. <br /> <br /> [[Image:HKG3A3.jpg|thumb|none|400px|G3A3 7.62x51mm NATO with green synthetic furniture]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-G3A3-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali militia member firing a G3A3 at the first MH-60K crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDG3-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali militia member takes cover from a Ranger's .50 caliber barrage armed with a G3A3.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDG3-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A militia member fires his G3A3.]]<br /> <br /> == PKM Light Machine Gun ==<br /> <br /> A [[PK Machine Gun|PKM light machine gun]] is seen resting on a table in the Somali arms dealer's shop.<br /> <br /> [[Image:PKM-mg.jpg|thumb|none|400px|PKM light machine gun 7.62x54mm R]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMAG58-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A PKM sits on the arms dealer's table]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMAG58-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A shot of the PKM muzzle brake]]<br /> <br /> ==SVD Dragunov==<br /> When Hoot ([[Eric Bana]]) is in the Somali town, he passes the arms dealer, who has an [[SVD Dragunov]] on display. <br /> [[Image:SVD Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|400px|SVD Dragunov - 7.62x54R.]]<br /> [[Image:Bhd svd-edited.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An SVD Dragunov is seen behind Hoot. (Interesting anachronism here: the shades, Oakley Juliets, worn by actor Eric Bana did not exist during the events of this film.)]]<br /> <br /> == RPK ==<br /> One of the Somalis fires on Mike Durant's Black Hawk armed with an [[RPK light machine gun]]. Its blonde furniture indicates it could be a foreign copy. The machining divots in the receiver could help indicate its origins as well.<br /> (the milled receiver, blonde wood, and the fact that the selector is in semi seem to suggest it is an Arsenal Bulgarian RPK, probably a US-made semi-auto variant)<br /> [[Image:RPK lmg.jpg|thumb|none|400px|RPK light machine gun 7.62x39mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPK.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali fires his RPK at the downed Black Hawk.]]<br /> <br /> == RPG-7 ==<br /> <br /> The Russian manufactured [[RPG-7]] features prominently in the film as the weapon which brings down a pair of UH-60 Blackhawks. In one scene inspired by an actual event, a projectile from an RPG-7 strikes Pvt. Kowalewski ([[Brendan Sexton III]]), the driver of one of the deuce and a half trucks in Lt. Colonel Danny McKnight ([[Tom Sizemore]])'s convoy and fails to detonate, impaling the luckless soldier instead.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Rpg-7-1-.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|RPG-7 70mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPG7-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|RPG-7s being handed out by the militia.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-RPG7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A rocket propelled grenade being fired at a Black Hawk.It is obviously CGI, since there is no backblast.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPG7-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A milita member fires the RPG that takes down Super Six One, causing the first Blackhawk crash of the operation.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPGhead.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An undetonated RPG warhead impales the deuce and a half driver, Pvt. Kowalewski ([[Brendan Sexton III]]).]]<br /> <br /> ==Norinco Type 69==<br /> Along with [[RPG-7]]s, Chinese [[RPG-7#Type 69|Norinco Type 69]] launchers are used by the militia.<br /> [[Image:Type69RPG.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Norinco Type 69 - 70mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDNorincoType69.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A militia member with a Type 69.

A group of Deltas led by Hoot soon kill the gunners and then turn the weapon against the militia, killing several with one shot before destroying the weapon with a thermite grenade.<br /> [[Image:BHD 010.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aidid's militia prepare to fire the SPG-9 Recoilless on the Rangers and Deltas who are holed-up at the first crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 012.jpg|thumb|none|600px|After eliminating the recoilless operators, Hoot and another Delta operator prepare to fire the SPG-9 recoilless rifle on the militia.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 009.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Hoot ([[Eric Bana]]) fires the recoilless rifle.]]<br /> <br /> ==Cobray CM203 Flare Launcher==<br /> Many of the Rangers' [[M16 rifle series|M16A2s]] are fitted with [[Cobray 37mm Launcher|Cobray CM203 37mm Flare Launchers]], standing in for the [[M203 grenade launcher]]. Most notably seen in the hands of Sgt. Ruiz ([[Enrique Murciano]]) of Capt. Steele's ([[Jason Isaacs]]) unit.

As the two Delta snipers attempt to secure the second crash site they are forced to draw their M1911A1 pistols as the overwhelming Somali forces close in on them. Delta Force Sgt. Wex ([[Kim Coates]]) can be seen at the firing range with an M1911A1 near the beginning of the film.<br /> [[Image:M1911Colt.jpg|thumb|none|350px|M1911A1 .45 ACP]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM1911A1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Delta Force Sgt.

Mainly it is seen in the hands of Maddox in the Humvee. McKnight himself carries his M9 sidearm around as a proper means to defend himself.<br /> <br /> [[Image:BerettaM92FS.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Beretta M92FS 9x19mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M9-3.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|A Humvee driver, Maddox ([[Michael Roof]]) fires his M9.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM9.jpg|thumb|none|600px|McKnight is seen armed with his M9 when walking away from a Ranger, blown in half by an RPG.]]<br /> <br /> == Heckler & Koch MP5A3 ==<br /> <br /> Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]), the UH-60 Black Hawk pilot of Super Six-Four, is armed with a [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A3|Heckler & Koch MP5A3]] with a slim handgrip and uses it to defend himself after he's shot down. The MP5 was briefly issued to helicopter crews as a personal defense weapon (PDW), but was discontinued in this role when it was determined its 9x19mm ammo lacked sufficient stopping power against armor-wearing or drug-crazed enemies, as was the case in Somalia. The guns is also briefly used by SFC Randy Shughart before being killed by the overwhelming militia.<br /> In the book and real life, the weapons were actually [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5K|MP5K]]s. They were referred to as "Skinny Popper, a reference to the men's nickname for the Somalis.<br /> <br /> [[Image:H&KMP5A3slimforearm.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch MP5A3 9x19mm with slim handguard]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMP5A3-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|While trapped in his pilot seat, CWO Michael Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]) prepares to defend himself with his H&K MP5A3.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMP5A3-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Durant fires his Heckler & Koch MP5A3 at the approaching Somalis.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 018.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Durant continues firing his H&K MP5A3 as the Delta snipers extract him from his downed Blackhawk.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMP5A3-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sgt. Shughart ([[Johnny Strong]]) is firing the MP5A3 as he is shot.]]<br /> <br /> == Browning M2HB ==<br /> The [[Browning M2|Browning M2HB]] heavy machine gun is fielded by the US Army on their HMMWVs, the U.N. forces on their APCs, and the Somali militia on their technicals in the film. The opening shots of the film feature Somali militiamen slaughtering a gathered crowd at a food distribution center with the powerful fifty-cal. <br /> [[Image:BrowningM2.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Browning M2HB .50 BMG in vehicle mounting]] <br /> [[Image:BHD 022.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The opening shots of Black Hawk Down.

Pylon-mounted miniguns, mounted alongside 2.75 rockets, are also carried by the AH-6 ''Little Birds'' and rain lead in several scenes.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Minigun.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Dillon Aero M134 with flash suppressor - 7.62x51mm NATO.

The M72A3 was a Post Vietnam improved model of the M72 Rocket, and the last variation used by the U.S. Army. Upgrade versions (up to M72A7) of the LAW are being fielded by the U.S. Navy and USMC as recently as 2007.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M72A2LAW.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M72A2 LAW 66mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M72.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Lieutenant Tom DiTomasso takes aims at a technical.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M72-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A 66mm rocket fired from an [[M72 LAW|M72A3 LAW]] mid-flight.]]<br /> <br /> ==Remington 870==<br /> While never used on screen, Sgt. Sanderson ([[William Fichtner]]) can be seen with a customized [[Remington 870]] Express Magnum (standing in for an 870 Police Magnum) slung over his right shoulder. A pistol grip (minus the folding stock) is used in place of the full stock. This same setup is used on a short 870 by [[Charlie Sheen]] in the movie ''[[Navy SEALs]]''. <br /> <br /> In a deleted scene, Sgt. Sanderson uses the shotgun to blow the hinges on a door inside the target building.<br /> [[Image:Remington870PoliceFolder.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|Remington 870 Police Magnum with folding stock (One seen in the movie lacked the folding stock).]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRem870-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sanderson with his Remington 870 Express Magnum slung over his back.

In real life it would have been a sturdier Police Magnum, not the cheaper, "economy priced" Express Magnum, though both are visually identical. The police magnum is the same shotgun, but built from stronger materials and has slightly different finish.]]<br /> <br /> == M67 Hand Grenade ==<br /> <br /> While loading up for the assault, Hoot ([[Eric Bana]]) picks up [[M67 hand grenade|M67 fragmentation hand grenades]]. Sgt. Sanderson is later seen throwing one into a window to take out a Somali who has him and the Deltas and Rangers pinned down.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M67.jpg|thumb|left|225px|M67 High-Explosive Fragmentation hand grenade]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M67.jpg|thumb|none|600px|M67 Hand Grenades]]<br /> <br /> == M7 CS Gas Grenade ==<br /> <br /> An [[M7 CS gas grenade]] is seen sitting next to the M67 fragmentation hand grenades Hoot picks up. <br /> <br /> [[Image:M7A3.jpg|thumb|left|150px|M7A3 CS Gas Grenade]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M67.jpg|thumb|none|600px|M7A2 CS Gas Grenade (far left)]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Movie]]<br /> [[Category:War]]<br /> [[Category:Ridley Scott]]</div>

<p>Rusgunnut1: /* M1911A1 */</p> <hr /> <div>'''The following weapons were used in the film ''Black Hawk Down''':''<br /> [[Image:Black hawk down ver1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|''[[Black Hawk Down]]'' (2001)]]<br /> <br /> == Colt Commando ==<br /> <br /> The Delta operators mainly wield the M727 and M733 variants of the [[M16 rifle series#Colt XM177/CAR-15/Commando Series |Colt Commando]]. The M727 variant is identified by its A2 upper receiver and 14.5" barrel with the cutout for mounting an M203 grenade launcher; the M733 has the shorter 11.5" barrel. Staff Sgt. Daniel Busch ([[Richard Tyson]]) is the first Delta member on screen, and also the first soldier we see carrying an [[M16 rifle series#Colt Carbine/Model 653/Model 733|M727]]. All Delta members carry M727s and M733s, fitted with various accessories such as Aimpoint scopes and surefire flashlights. Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) can be seen carrying an M733 featuring a camouflage paint scheme and a sound suppressor, which is then used by Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]) to pick off several more Somalis before running out of ammunition and being overwhelmed. <br /> <br /> [[Image:Coltm727ima.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt Model 727 5.56x45mm]]<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Delta Customs===<br /> The Delta Force operators arm themselves differently from the Rangers by using customized Colt Model 727 and 733 rifles as opposed to longer, heavier M16A2 rifles. Many are fitted with such accessories as Aimpoint scopes, surefire tactical lights (with the pressure switch taped to the handguard with 100mph or electrical tape). Some of the Colts have camouflage paint schemes, and some of them are fitted with 14.5" barrels with M203 cuts (M727). <br /> [[Image:BHD-M733.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Delta Force SSgt. Busch ([[Richard Tyson]]) aims an M727 carbine at Somali militants raiding a Red Cross food distribution center while aboard a Blackhawk. Note the flashlight pressure switch taped to the handguard.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M733-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Delta Force Sgt.

Busch climbs out of his crashed Blackhawk and fires his M727 at the Somalis.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sgt.

Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) uses an M733 rifle, noted by the 11.5" barrel, with nothing modified or changed. "Doc" Schmid ([[Hugh Dancy]]) also uses an M733, presumably because as a medic, he would need a lighter, more versatile weapon to move quickly to wounded soldiers.<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Cpt. Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) with his M733 carbine.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Steele shows the Delta Operators you don't need a fancy scope to fire an M733. Iron sights.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Ranger medic Sgt. Schmid ([[Hugh Dancy]]) with his M733 in hand.]]<br /> <br /> ===Delta Sniper===<br /> Delta Force Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) uses a [[M16 rifle series|CAR15A2]] rifle modified with camo paint, scope and a tactical light, but his is also fitted with a sound suppressor. Shughart gives this rifle to the wounded Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant, who uses it before it runs out of ammo.<br /> [[Image:BHDCommandoSuppressed-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) hovers above the second crash site with his suppressed M733.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommandoSuppressed-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gordon fires his suppressed M733 in defense of the crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommandoSuppressed-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mike Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]) with Gordon's M733.]]<br /> <br /> ===CAR-15===<br /> Some of the Deltas Operators are seen using [[M16 rifle series#Colt XM177/CAR-15/Commando Series |Colt Commando CAR-15]] carbines with the original long type muzzle break, which are also heavily customized. There is a high possibility they are built from several Commando types so a definite I.D. isn't certain unless the armorer can verify it.<br /> <br /> [[Image:BHDXM177E2-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta with his CAR-15 A2 rifle at the ready, right side.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 2006.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta with a CAR-15.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDXM177E2-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta operator fires on a Somali .50 gunner with his CAR-15.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt M4 carbine==<br /> Hoot seems to use an [[M16 rifle series|Colt M4 carbine]] rifle with the same customizations and paint job as the Commando rifles when doing solo operations in Somalia, noted by its removable carry handle. He uses it to shoot a wild boar from a chopper, and is chastized by Cpt. Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) for keeping the weapon's safety off in the baracks. It is noted as an M4, the burst rifle varient because the M4A1, the full-auto varient had not been issued yet. The M4A1 would begin issue around 1995 or so. One of the Deltas is also seen using an M4 carbine during the operation itself.<br /> <br /> A bit of anachronism here, both the M4 and M4A1 entered service in 1994, a year after the events of this film (in 1993), so the M4 should technically not be in Hoot's hands. The probable reason was the fact that most of the earlier M16 Carbines are hard to come by, so they needed something to fill that gap.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ColtM4 FirstVersion.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Colt M4 carbine 5.56x45mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM4-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"Who's hungry?" Hoot readies his M4 carbine to shoot a wild boar. Note flashlight pressure switch attached to the handguards with electric tape. Also note that Hoot racks the action twice; once when he boards the chopper, and another time when he readies to shoot the boar.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM4-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Cpt. Steele points out to Hoot that whether a undisciplined Delta Operator or not, his M4 carbine should be safetied in the barracks. Hoot replies "This is my safety" and bends his pointer finger. Note the knobs on the carry handle used to remove it from the gun and custom pistol grip.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM4-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta operator breaches and clears with an M4 carbine in hand. Note the removable carry handle.]]<br /> <br /> == M60 machine gun ==<br /> Specialist Shawn Nelson ([[Ewen Bremner]]) can be seen carrying an [[M60 machine gun]] machine gun as his standard weapon.

It is also the weapon used by Specialist Lance Twombly ([[Tom Hardy]]) to accidentally deafen Nelson when he fires it too close to his head. The Minimis are also fitted with circular 200-round cloth ammo bags instead of hard plastic drums.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M249 FN MINIMI DA-SC-85-11586 c1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|FN Minimi 5.56x45mm with 200-round ammo drum]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M249-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|PFC John Waddell ([[Ian Virgo]]) with an FN Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M249.jpg|thumb|none|600px|PFC John Waddell ([[Ian Virgo]]) firing his Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Twombley with his FN Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Close up of the charging handle rocking in slow motion on the FN Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Twombley with his FN Minimi, yelling to Yurek about how they almost killed him]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Ranger fires his FN Minimi during the "Mogadishu Mile"]]<br /> <br /> == M16A2 ==<br /> <br /> Staff Sgt. Matt Eversmann ([[Josh Hartnett]]) leads his Rangers armed, like most of them, with an [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]].<br /> <br /> [[Image:M16A2.jpg|thumb|450px|none|M16A2 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M16-3.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|SSgt.

Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) are covering the second crash site. His M14 sports a camouflage paint scheme and an M68 Aimpoint scope. <br /> [[Image:M14Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M14 rifle - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M21.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|SFC Shughart fires his M14.

At one point, Rangers can be seen watching a portion of the film ''[[Jerk, The|The Jerk]]'' where a madman is trying to shoot the protagonist using a scoped M16A1.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M16A1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M16A1 - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|M16A1 rifles hang in the dealer's shop along with M16A2s, likely captured from American forces.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A1-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A TV Beales ([[Ioan Gruffudd]]) is watching showing a scene from ''The Jerk'' where a man is firing a scoped M16A1 moments before Beales' epilepsy kicks in and he seizes.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A1-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A militiaman picks up an M16A1 with the flash hider removed and with a strange smooth ten round magazine.]]<br /> <br /> ==CETME==<br /> Spanish [[CETME]] rifles are seen among the weapons in the arms dealer's shop, many of which are taken by the militia to combat the U.S. forces. They are not [[Heckler & Koch G3]]s, most notabley because they have a simple fixed sight instead of a rear sight spindle.<br /> [[Image:cetme.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Spanish CETME rifle chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCETME-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Militia members pick up CETME rifles in the dealer's shop.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCETME-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|CETME rifles hanging next to the dealer.]]<br /> <br /> == Heckler & Koch G3A3 ==<br /> <br /> The local militia arm themselves with, among many other weapons, [[Heckler & Koch G3|Heckler & Koch G3A3]] assault rifles. <br /> <br /> [[Image:HKG3A3.jpg|thumb|none|400px|G3A3 7.62x51mm NATO with green synthetic furniture]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-G3A3-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali militia member firing a G3A3 at the first MH-60K crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDG3-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali militia member takes cover from a Ranger's .50 caliber barrage armed with a G3A3.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDG3-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A militia member fires his G3A3.]]<br /> <br /> == PKM Light Machine Gun ==<br /> <br /> A [[PK Machine Gun|PKM light machine gun]] is seen resting on a table in the Somali arms dealer's shop.<br /> <br /> [[Image:PKM-mg.jpg|thumb|none|400px|PKM light machine gun 7.62x54mm R]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMAG58-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A PKM sits on the arms dealer's table]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMAG58-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A shot of the PKM muzzle brake]]<br /> <br /> ==SVD Dragunov==<br /> When Hoot ([[Eric Bana]]) is in the Somali town, he passes the arms dealer, who has an [[SVD Dragunov]] on display. <br /> [[Image:SVD Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|400px|SVD Dragunov - 7.62x54R.]]<br /> [[Image:Bhd svd-edited.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An SVD Dragunov is seen behind Hoot. (Interesting anachronism here: the shades, Oakley Juliets, worn by actor Eric Bana did not exist during the events of this film.)]]<br /> <br /> == RPK ==<br /> One of the Somalis fires on Mike Durant's Black Hawk armed with an [[RPK light machine gun]]. Its blonde furniture indicates it could be a foreign copy. The machining divots in the receiver could help indicate its origins as well.<br /> (the milled receiver, blonde wood, and the fact that the selector is in semi seem to suggest it is an Arsenal Bulgarian RPK, probably a US-made semi-auto variant)<br /> [[Image:RPK lmg.jpg|thumb|none|400px|RPK light machine gun 7.62x39mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPK.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali fires his RPK at the downed Black Hawk.]]<br /> <br /> == RPG-7 ==<br /> <br /> The Russian manufactured [[RPG-7]] features prominently in the film as the weapon which brings down a pair of UH-60 Blackhawks. In one scene inspired by an actual event, a projectile from an RPG-7 strikes Pvt. Kowalewski ([[Brendan Sexton III]]), the driver of one of the deuce and a half trucks in Lt. Colonel Danny McKnight ([[Tom Sizemore]])'s convoy and fails to detonate, impaling the luckless soldier instead.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Rpg-7-1-.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|RPG-7 70mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPG7-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|RPG-7s being handed out by the militia.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-RPG7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A rocket propelled grenade being fired at a Black Hawk.It is obviously CGI, since there is no backblast.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPG7-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A milita member fires the RPG that takes down Super Six One, causing the first Blackhawk crash of the operation.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPGhead.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An undetonated RPG warhead impales the deuce and a half driver, Pvt.

It has a slanted AKM syle muzzle break added on.<br /> [[Image:ChineseType56.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Norinco Type 56 with pig sticker type bayonet 7.62x39mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDType56.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali smacks Mike Durant across the face with a Norinco Type 56.]]<br /> <br /> == Norinco Type 56-1 ==<br /> <br /> Nearly all of the Somali gunmen are armed with the [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Norinco Type 56-1]] assault rifle, which is a Chinese derivative of the [[AK-47|AKS-47]]/[[AK-47#AKMS|AKMS]]. They are identified by the hooded front sights, which only Chinese Kalashnikov rifles have.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Type56S.jpg‎ |thumb|none|400px|Norinco Type 56-1 7.62x39mm.]] <br /> [[Image:BHD-AK47.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A "Skinny" dies firing his Type 56-1 ([[AK-47#AKMS|AKMS]]).]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-AK47-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Somali militiamen running with [[AK-47#AKMS|AKMS]].]]<br /> [[Image:BHDType56-1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A round from this Norinco Type 56-1 causes the first KIA, Sgt.

A group of Deltas led by Hoot soon kill the gunners and then turn the weapon against the militia, killing several with one shot before destroying the weapon with a thermite grenade.<br /> [[Image:BHD 010.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aidid's militia prepare to fire the SPG-9 Recoilless on the Rangers and Deltas who are holed-up at the first crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 012.jpg|thumb|none|600px|After eliminating the recoilless operators, Hoot and another Delta operator prepare to fire the SPG-9 recoilless rifle on the militia.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 009.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Hoot ([[Eric Bana]]) fires the recoilless rifle.]]<br /> <br /> ==Cobray CM203 Flare Launcher==<br /> Many of the Rangers' [[M16 rifle series|M16A2s]] are fitted with [[Cobray 37mm Launcher|Cobray CM203 37mm Flare Launchers]], standing in for the [[M203 grenade launcher]]. Most notably seen in the hands of Sgt. Ruiz ([[Enrique Murciano]]) of Capt. Steele's ([[Jason Isaacs]]) unit. See flare launcher page for a guide on telling them apart. <br /> [[Image:Coltflare.jpg|thumb|none|400px|[[Cobray 37mm Launcher|Cobray CM203 Flare Launcher]] 37mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDColtFlare-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Ranger behind Cpt.

As the two Delta snipers attempt to secure the second crash site they are forced to draw their M1911A1 pistols as the overwhelming Somali forces close in on them. Delta Force Sgt. Wex ([[Kim Coates]]) can be seen at the firing range with an M1911A1 near the beginning of the film.<br /> [[Image:M1911Colt.jpg|thumb|none|350px|M1911A1 .45 ACP]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM1911A1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Delta Force Sgt.

Mainly it is seen in the hands of Maddox in the Humvee. McKnight himself carries his M9 sidearm around as a proper means to defend himself.<br /> <br /> [[Image:BerettaM92FS.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Beretta M92FS 9x19mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M9-3.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|A Humvee driver, Maddox ([[Michael Roof]]) fires his M9.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM9.jpg|thumb|none|600px|McKnight is seen armed with his M9 when walking away from a Ranger, blown in half by an RPG.]]<br /> <br /> == Heckler & Koch MP5A3 ==<br /> <br /> Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]), the UH-60 Black Hawk pilot of Super Six-Four, is armed with a [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A3|Heckler & Koch MP5A3]] with a slim handgrip and uses it to defend himself after he's shot down. The MP5 was briefly issued to helicopter crews as a personal defense weapon (PDW), but was discontinued in this role when it was determined its 9x19mm ammo lacked sufficient stopping power against armor-wearing or drug-crazed enemies, as was the case in Somalia. The guns is also briefly used by SFC Randy Shughart before being killed by the overwhelming militia.<br /> In the book and real life, the weapons were actually [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5K|MP5K]]s. They were referred to as "Skinny Popper, a reference to the men's nickname for the Somalis.<br /> <br /> [[Image:H&KMP5A3slimforearm.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch MP5A3 9x19mm with slim handguard]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMP5A3-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|While trapped in his pilot seat, CWO Michael Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]) prepares to defend himself with his H&K MP5A3.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMP5A3-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Durant fires his Heckler & Koch MP5A3 at the approaching Somalis.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 018.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Durant continues firing his H&K MP5A3 as the Delta snipers extract him from his downed Blackhawk.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMP5A3-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sgt.

The opening shots of the film feature Somali militiamen slaughtering a gathered crowd at a food distribution center with the powerful fifty-cal. <br /> [[Image:BrowningM2.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Browning M2HB .50 BMG in vehicle mounting]] <br /> [[Image:BHD 022.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The opening shots of Black Hawk Down.

Pylon-mounted miniguns, mounted alongside 2.75 rockets, are also carried by the AH-6 ''Little Birds'' and rain lead in several scenes.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Minigun.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Dillon Aero M134 with flash suppressor - 7.62x51mm NATO.

The M72A3 was a Post Vietnam improved model of the M72 Rocket, and the last variation used by the U.S. Army. Upgrade versions (up to M72A7) of the LAW are being fielded by the U.S. Navy and USMC as recently as 2007.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M72A2LAW.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M72A2 LAW 66mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M72.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Lieutenant Tom DiTomasso takes aims at a technical.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M72-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A 66mm rocket fired from an [[M72 LAW|M72A3 LAW]] mid-flight.]]<br /> <br /> ==Remington 870==<br /> While never used on screen, Sgt. Sanderson ([[William Fichtner]]) can be seen with a customized [[Remington 870]] Express Magnum (standing in for an 870 Police Magnum) slung over his right shoulder. A pistol grip (minus the folding stock) is used in place of the full stock. This same setup is used on a short 870 by [[Charlie Sheen]] in the movie ''[[Navy SEALs]]''. <br /> <br /> In a deleted scene, Sgt. Sanderson uses the shotgun to blow the hinges on a door inside the target building.<br /> [[Image:Remington870PoliceFolder.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|Remington 870 Police Magnum with folding stock (One seen in the movie lacked the folding stock).]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRem870-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sanderson with his Remington 870 Express Magnum slung over his back.

<p>Rusgunnut1: /* RPG-7 */</p> <hr /> <div>'''The following weapons were used in the film ''Black Hawk Down''':''<br /> [[Image:Black hawk down ver1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|''[[Black Hawk Down]]'' (2001)]]<br /> <br /> == Colt Commando ==<br /> <br /> The Delta operators mainly wield the M727 and M733 variants of the [[M16 rifle series#Colt XM177/CAR-15/Commando Series |Colt Commando]]. The M727 variant is identified by its A2 upper receiver and 14.5" barrel with the cutout for mounting an M203 grenade launcher; the M733 has the shorter 11.5" barrel. Staff Sgt. Daniel Busch ([[Richard Tyson]]) is the first Delta member on screen, and also the first soldier we see carrying an [[M16 rifle series#Colt Carbine/Model 653/Model 733|M727]]. All Delta members carry M727s and M733s, fitted with various accessories such as Aimpoint scopes and surefire flashlights. Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) can be seen carrying an M733 featuring a camouflage paint scheme and a sound suppressor, which is then used by Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]) to pick off several more Somalis before running out of ammunition and being overwhelmed. <br /> <br /> [[Image:Coltm727ima.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt Model 727 5.56x45mm]]<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Delta Customs===<br /> The Delta Force operators arm themselves differently from the Rangers by using customized Colt Model 727 and 733 rifles as opposed to longer, heavier M16A2 rifles. Many are fitted with such accessories as Aimpoint scopes, surefire tactical lights (with the pressure switch taped to the handguard with 100mph or electrical tape). Some of the Colts have camouflage paint schemes, and some of them are fitted with 14.5" barrels with M203 cuts (M727). <br /> [[Image:BHD-M733.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Delta Force SSgt. Busch ([[Richard Tyson]]) aims an M727 carbine at Somali militants raiding a Red Cross food distribution center while aboard a Blackhawk. Note the flashlight pressure switch taped to the handguard.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M733-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Delta Force Sgt.

Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) uses an M733 rifle, noted by the 11.5" barrel, with nothing modified or changed. "Doc" Schmid ([[Hugh Dancy]]) also uses an M733, presumably because as a medic, he would need a lighter, more versatile weapon to move quickly to wounded soldiers.<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Cpt. Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) with his M733 carbine.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Steele shows the Delta Operators you don't need a fancy scope to fire an M733. Iron sights.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Ranger medic Sgt. Schmid ([[Hugh Dancy]]) with his M733 in hand.]]<br /> <br /> ===Delta Sniper===<br /> Delta Force Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) uses a [[M16 rifle series|CAR15A2]] rifle modified with camo paint, scope and a tactical light, but his is also fitted with a sound suppressor. Shughart gives this rifle to the wounded Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant, who uses it before it runs out of ammo.<br /> [[Image:BHDCommandoSuppressed-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) hovers above the second crash site with his suppressed M733.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommandoSuppressed-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gordon fires his suppressed M733 in defense of the crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommandoSuppressed-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mike Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]) with Gordon's M733.]]<br /> <br /> ===CAR-15===<br /> Some of the Deltas Operators are seen using [[M16 rifle series#Colt XM177/CAR-15/Commando Series |Colt Commando CAR-15]] carbines with the original long type muzzle break, which are also heavily customized. There is a high possibility they are built from several Commando types so a definite I.D. isn't certain unless the armorer can verify it.<br /> <br /> [[Image:BHDXM177E2-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta with his CAR-15 A2 rifle at the ready, right side.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 2006.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta with a CAR-15.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDXM177E2-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta operator fires on a Somali .50 gunner with his CAR-15.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt M4 carbine==<br /> Hoot seems to use an [[M16 rifle series|Colt M4 carbine]] rifle with the same customizations and paint job as the Commando rifles when doing solo operations in Somalia, noted by its removable carry handle. He uses it to shoot a wild boar from a chopper, and is chastized by Cpt. Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) for keeping the weapon's safety off in the baracks. It is noted as an M4, the burst rifle varient because the M4A1, the full-auto varient had not been issued yet. The M4A1 would begin issue around 1995 or so. One of the Deltas is also seen using an M4 carbine during the operation itself.<br /> <br /> A bit of anachronism here, both the M4 and M4A1 entered service in 1994, a year after the events of this film (in 1993), so the M4 should technically not be in Hoot's hands. The probable reason was the fact that most of the earlier M16 Carbines are hard to come by, so they needed something to fill that gap.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ColtM4 FirstVersion.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Colt M4 carbine 5.56x45mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM4-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"Who's hungry?" Hoot readies his M4 carbine to shoot a wild boar. Note flashlight pressure switch attached to the handguards with electric tape. Also note that Hoot racks the action twice; once when he boards the chopper, and another time when he readies to shoot the boar.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM4-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Cpt. Steele points out to Hoot that whether a undisciplined Delta Operator or not, his M4 carbine should be safetied in the barracks. Hoot replies "This is my safety" and bends his pointer finger. Note the knobs on the carry handle used to remove it from the gun and custom pistol grip.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM4-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta operator breaches and clears with an M4 carbine in hand. Note the removable carry handle.]]<br /> <br /> == M60 machine gun ==<br /> Specialist Shawn Nelson ([[Ewen Bremner]]) can be seen carrying an [[M60 machine gun]] machine gun as his standard weapon. Some of the Somalis can be seen using them as well.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M60.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M60 - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M60.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Nelson with his M60.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-Blanks.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Nelson with his M60, here clearly loaded with blanks.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M60-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Nelson fires his M60.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Nelson firing his M60.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali fires an M60 at the Deltas.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali fires an M60 at the humvees.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-1-1-1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Ranger fires his M60 at the Somalis.]]<br /> <br /> == FN Minimi ==<br /> <br /> Several Rangers can be seen carrying [[FN Minimi|FN Minimis]] throughout the film, standing in for the [[FN Minimi|M249-E1 SAW]]. It is also the weapon used by Specialist Lance Twombly ([[Tom Hardy]]) to accidentally deafen Nelson when he fires it too close to his head. The Minimis are also fitted with circular 200-round cloth ammo bags instead of hard plastic drums.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M249 FN MINIMI DA-SC-85-11586 c1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|FN Minimi 5.56x45mm with 200-round ammo drum]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M249-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|PFC John Waddell ([[Ian Virgo]]) with an FN Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M249.jpg|thumb|none|600px|PFC John Waddell ([[Ian Virgo]]) firing his Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Twombley with his FN Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Close up of the charging handle rocking in slow motion on the FN Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Twombley with his FN Minimi, yelling to Yurek about how they almost killed him]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Ranger fires his FN Minimi during the "Mogadishu Mile"]]<br /> <br /> == M16A2 ==<br /> <br /> Staff Sgt. Matt Eversmann ([[Josh Hartnett]]) leads his Rangers armed, like most of them, with an [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]].<br /> <br /> [[Image:M16A2.jpg|thumb|450px|none|M16A2 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M16-3.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|SSgt.

Rangers are usually trained not to fire in bursts unless "they have a damn good reason", as quoted by several Drill Sergeants.]]<br /> <br /> == M14 Rifle ==<br /> The [[M14 Rifle#M14 Rifle|M14 rifle]] is seen being used by Delta Force Sergeant First Class Randy Shughart ([[Johnny Strong]]), most notably when he and Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) are covering the second crash site. His M14 sports a camouflage paint scheme and an M68 Aimpoint scope. <br /> [[Image:M14Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M14 rifle - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M21.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|SFC Shughart fires his M14. This shot appears to have been reversed. Note how the bolt and the battery slot on the Aimpoint is on the left side, not the right. Also see how Shughart and Gordon (off-shot) are right-handed in the other shots except for this one.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M21-2.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|SFC Shughart covers the second crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM14-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|SFC Shughart fires his M14 in defense of the second crash site.]]<br /> <br /> ==M16A1==<br /> [[M16#M16A1 Rifle|M16A1]] rifles are seen in the Somali arms dealer's shop and one militia member is seen loading up one. At one point, Rangers can be seen watching a portion of the film ''[[Jerk, The|The Jerk]]'' where a madman is trying to shoot the protagonist using a scoped M16A1.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M16A1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M16A1 - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|M16A1 rifles hang in the dealer's shop along with M16A2s, likely captured from American forces.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A1-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A TV Beales ([[Ioan Gruffudd]]) is watching showing a scene from ''The Jerk'' where a man is firing a scoped M16A1 moments before Beales' epilepsy kicks in and he seizes.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A1-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A militiaman picks up an M16A1 with the flash hider removed and with a strange smooth ten round magazine.]]<br /> <br /> ==CETME==<br /> Spanish [[CETME]] rifles are seen among the weapons in the arms dealer's shop, many of which are taken by the militia to combat the U.S. forces. They are not [[Heckler & Koch G3]]s, most notabley because they have a simple fixed sight instead of a rear sight spindle.<br /> [[Image:cetme.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Spanish CETME rifle chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCETME-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Militia members pick up CETME rifles in the dealer's shop.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCETME-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|CETME rifles hanging next to the dealer.]]<br /> <br /> == Heckler & Koch G3A3 ==<br /> <br /> The local militia arm themselves with, among many other weapons, [[Heckler & Koch G3|Heckler & Koch G3A3]] assault rifles. <br /> <br /> [[Image:HKG3A3.jpg|thumb|none|400px|G3A3 7.62x51mm NATO with green synthetic furniture]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-G3A3-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali militia member firing a G3A3 at the first MH-60K crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDG3-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali militia member takes cover from a Ranger's .50 caliber barrage armed with a G3A3.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDG3-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A militia member fires his G3A3.]]<br /> <br /> == PKM Light Machine Gun ==<br /> <br /> A [[PK Machine Gun|PKM light machine gun]] is seen resting on a table in the Somali arms dealer's shop.<br /> <br /> [[Image:PKM-mg.jpg|thumb|none|400px|PKM light machine gun 7.62x54mm R]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMAG58-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A PKM sits on the arms dealer's table]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMAG58-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A shot of the PKM muzzle brake]]<br /> <br /> ==SVD Dragunov==<br /> When Hoot ([[Eric Bana]]) is in the Somali town, he passes the arms dealer, who has an [[SVD Dragunov]] on display. <br /> [[Image:SVD Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|400px|SVD Dragunov - 7.62x54R.]]<br /> [[Image:Bhd svd-edited.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An SVD Dragunov is seen behind Hoot. (Interesting anachronism here: the shades, Oakley Juliets, worn by actor Eric Bana did not exist during the events of this film.)]]<br /> <br /> == RPK ==<br /> One of the Somalis fires on Mike Durant's Black Hawk armed with an [[RPK light machine gun]]. Its blonde furniture indicates it could be a foreign copy. The machining divots in the receiver could help indicate its origins as well.<br /> (the milled receiver, blonde wood, and the fact that the selector is in semi seem to suggest it is an Arsenal Bulgarian RPK, probably a US-made semi-auto variant)<br /> [[Image:RPK lmg.jpg|thumb|none|400px|RPK light machine gun 7.62x39mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPK.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali fires his RPK at the downed Black Hawk.]]<br /> <br /> == RPG-7 ==<br /> <br /> The Russian manufactured [[RPG-7]] features prominently in the film as the weapon which brings down a pair of UH-60 Blackhawks. In one scene inspired by an actual event, a projectile from an RPG-7 strikes Pvt. Kowalewski ([[Brendan Sexton III]]), the driver of one of the deuce and a half trucks in Lt. Colonel Danny McKnight ([[Tom Sizemore]])'s convoy and fails to detonate, impaling the luckless soldier instead.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Rpg-7-1-.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|RPG-7 70mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPG7-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|RPG-7s being handed out by the militia.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-RPG7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A rocket propelled grenade being fired at a Black Hawk.It is obviously CGI, since there is no backblast.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPG7-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A milita member fires the RPG that takes down Super Six One, causing the first Blackhawk crash of the operation.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPGhead.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An undetonated RPG warhead impales the deuce and a half driver, Pvt. Kowalewski ([[Brendan Sexton III]]).]]<br /> <br /> ==Norinco Type 69==<br /> Along with [[RPG-7]]s, Chinese [[RPG-7#Type 69|Norinco Type 69]] launchers are used by the militia.<br /> [[Image:Type69RPG.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Norinco Type 69 - 70mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDNorincoType69.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A militia member with a Type 69. Note how there is only one pistol grip and how he is holding the carry handle.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDNorincoType69-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A militia member with a Type 69.]]<br /> <br /> == Norinco Type 56 ==<br /> A full stock [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Norinco Type 56]] is used by a Somali to whack Mike Durant in the head. It has a slanted AKM syle muzzle break added on.<br /> [[Image:ChineseType56.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Norinco Type 56 with pig sticker type bayonet 7.62x39mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDType56.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali smacks Mike Durant across the face with a Norinco Type 56.]]<br /> <br /> == Norinco Type 56-1 ==<br /> <br /> Nearly all of the Somali gunmen are armed with the [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Norinco Type 56-1]] assault rifle, which is a Chinese derivative of the [[AK-47|AKS-47]]/[[AK-47#AKMS|AKMS]]. They are identified by the hooded front sights, which only Chinese Kalashnikov rifles have.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Type56S.jpg‎ |thumb|none|400px|Norinco Type 56-1 7.62x39mm.]] <br /> [[Image:BHD-AK47.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A "Skinny" dies firing his Type 56-1 ([[AK-47#AKMS|AKMS]]).]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-AK47-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Somali militiamen running with [[AK-47#AKMS|AKMS]].]]<br /> [[Image:BHDType56-1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A round from this Norinco Type 56-1 causes the first KIA, Sgt.

A group of Deltas led by Hoot soon kill the gunners and then turn the weapon against the militia, killing several with one shot before destroying the weapon with a thermite grenade.<br /> [[Image:BHD 010.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aidid's militia prepare to fire the SPG-9 Recoilless on the Rangers and Deltas who are holed-up at the first crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 012.jpg|thumb|none|600px|After eliminating the recoilless operators, Hoot and another Delta operator prepare to fire the SPG-9 recoilless rifle on the militia.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 009.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Hoot ([[Eric Bana]]) fires the recoilless rifle.]]<br /> <br /> ==Cobray CM203 Flare Launcher==<br /> Many of the Rangers' [[M16 rifle series|M16A2s]] are fitted with [[Cobray 37mm Launcher|Cobray CM203 37mm Flare Launchers]], standing in for the [[M203 grenade launcher]]. Most notably seen in the hands of Sgt. Ruiz ([[Enrique Murciano]]) of Capt. Steele's ([[Jason Isaacs]]) unit. See flare launcher page for a guide on telling them apart. <br /> [[Image:Coltflare.jpg|thumb|none|400px|[[Cobray 37mm Launcher|Cobray CM203 Flare Launcher]] 37mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDColtFlare-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Ranger behind Cpt.

Ruiz ([[Enrique Murciano]]) his M16A2/CM203, ordering him to give anyone two in the chest and one in the head if they enter the door.]]<br /> <br /> == M203 Grenade Launcher ==<br /> <br /> While the [[Colt Flare Launcher|Cobray CM203 37mm launchers]] are fitted on most of the Ranger's [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]] rifles, a couple of actual [[M203 grenade launcher]]s attached to [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2s]] are seen, the most notable of which is Specialist John Grimes ([[Ewan McGregor]]) who assists Delta in taking out a ''technical'' that has them pinned down, missing the first shot before destroying the vehicle with a High-Explosive Dual-Purpose (HEDP) grenade from his M203.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M16A2 M203.jpg|thumb|none|500px|M203 grenade launcher 40mm mounted on M16A2 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM203-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Grimes with his M16A2/M203]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A2-M203-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Grimes fires his M16A2/M203]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM203-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Ranger in Eversmann's unit armed with an M16A2/M203]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M203-5.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Grimes fires his M203 like a proper desk clerk, eyes closed.

As the two Delta snipers attempt to secure the second crash site they are forced to draw their M1911A1 pistols as the overwhelming Somali forces close in on them. Delta Force Sgt. Wex ([[Kim Coates]]) can be seen at the firing range with an M1911A1 near the beginning of the film can be seen at the firing range with an M1911A1 near the beginning of the film. <br /> [[Image:M1911Colt.jpg|thumb|none|350px|M1911A1 .45 ACP]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM1911A1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Delta Force Sgt.

Mainly it is seen in the hands of Maddox in the Humvee. McKnight himself carries his M9 sidearm around as a proper means to defend himself.<br /> <br /> [[Image:BerettaM92FS.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Beretta M92FS 9x19mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M9-3.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|A Humvee driver, Maddox ([[Michael Roof]]) fires his M9.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM9.jpg|thumb|none|600px|McKnight is seen armed with his M9 when walking away from a Ranger, blown in half by an RPG.]]<br /> <br /> == Heckler & Koch MP5A3 ==<br /> <br /> Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]), the UH-60 Black Hawk pilot of Super Six-Four, is armed with a [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A3|Heckler & Koch MP5A3]] with a slim handgrip and uses it to defend himself after he's shot down. The MP5 was briefly issued to helicopter crews as a personal defense weapon (PDW), but was discontinued in this role when it was determined its 9x19mm ammo lacked sufficient stopping power against armor-wearing or drug-crazed enemies, as was the case in Somalia. The guns is also briefly used by SFC Randy Shughart before being killed by the overwhelming militia.<br /> In the book and real life, the weapons were actually [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5K|MP5K]]s. They were referred to as "Skinny Popper, a reference to the men's nickname for the Somalis.<br /> <br /> [[Image:H&KMP5A3slimforearm.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch MP5A3 9x19mm with slim handguard]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMP5A3-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|While trapped in his pilot seat, CWO Michael Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]) prepares to defend himself with his H&K MP5A3.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMP5A3-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Durant fires his Heckler & Koch MP5A3 at the approaching Somalis.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 018.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Durant continues firing his H&K MP5A3 as the Delta snipers extract him from his downed Blackhawk.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMP5A3-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sgt.

The opening shots of the film feature Somali militiamen slaughtering a gathered crowd at a food distribution center with the powerful fifty-cal. <br /> [[Image:BrowningM2.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Browning M2HB .50 BMG in vehicle mounting]] <br /> [[Image:BHD 022.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The opening shots of Black Hawk Down.

Pylon-mounted miniguns, mounted alongside 2.75 rockets, are also carried by the AH-6 ''Little Birds'' and rain lead in several scenes.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Minigun.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Dillon Aero M134 with flash suppressor - 7.62x51mm NATO.

The M72A3 was a Post Vietnam improved model of the M72 Rocket, and the last variation used by the U.S. Army. Upgrade versions (up to M72A7) of the LAW are being fielded by the U.S. Navy and USMC as recently as 2007.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M72A2LAW.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M72A2 LAW 66mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M72.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Lieutenant Tom DiTomasso takes aims at a technical.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M72-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A 66mm rocket fired from an [[M72 LAW|M72A3 LAW]] mid-flight.]]<br /> <br /> ==Remington 870==<br /> While never used on screen, Sgt. Sanderson ([[William Fichtner]]) can be seen with a customized [[Remington 870]] Express Magnum (standing in for an 870 Police Magnum) slung over his right shoulder. A pistol grip (minus the folding stock) is used in place of the full stock. This same setup is used on a short 870 by [[Charlie Sheen]] in the movie ''[[Navy SEALs]]''. <br /> <br /> In a deleted scene, Sgt. Sanderson uses the shotgun to blow the hinges on a door inside the target building.<br /> [[Image:Remington870PoliceFolder.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|Remington 870 Police Magnum with folding stock (One seen in the movie lacked the folding stock).]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRem870-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sanderson with his Remington 870 Express Magnum slung over his back.

<p>Rusgunnut1: /* RPG-7 */</p> <hr /> <div>'''The following weapons were used in the film ''Black Hawk Down''':''<br /> [[Image:Black hawk down ver1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|''[[Black Hawk Down]]'' (2001)]]<br /> <br /> == Colt Commando ==<br /> <br /> The Delta operators mainly wield the M727 and M733 variants of the [[M16 rifle series#Colt XM177/CAR-15/Commando Series |Colt Commando]]. The M727 variant is identified by its A2 upper receiver and 14.5" barrel with the cutout for mounting an M203 grenade launcher; the M733 has the shorter 11.5" barrel. Staff Sgt. Daniel Busch ([[Richard Tyson]]) is the first Delta member on screen, and also the first soldier we see carrying an [[M16 rifle series#Colt Carbine/Model 653/Model 733|M727]]. All Delta members carry M727s and M733s, fitted with various accessories such as Aimpoint scopes and surefire flashlights. Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) can be seen carrying an M733 featuring a camouflage paint scheme and a sound suppressor, which is then used by Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]) to pick off several more Somalis before running out of ammunition and being overwhelmed. <br /> <br /> [[Image:Coltm727ima.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt Model 727 5.56x45mm]]<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Delta Customs===<br /> The Delta Force operators arm themselves differently from the Rangers by using customized Colt Model 727 and 733 rifles as opposed to longer, heavier M16A2 rifles. Many are fitted with such accessories as Aimpoint scopes, surefire tactical lights (with the pressure switch taped to the handguard with 100mph or electrical tape). Some of the Colts have camouflage paint schemes, and some of them are fitted with 14.5" barrels with M203 cuts (M727). <br /> [[Image:BHD-M733.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Delta Force SSgt. Busch ([[Richard Tyson]]) aims an M727 carbine at Somali militants raiding a Red Cross food distribution center while aboard a Blackhawk. Note the flashlight pressure switch taped to the handguard.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M733-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Delta Force Sgt. Sanderson ([[William Fichtner]]) fires his M727 carbine.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sgt.

Busch climbs out of his crashed Blackhawk and fires his M727 at the Somalis.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sgt. Sanderson fires his M727 during the "Mogadishu Mile"..]]<br /> <br /> [[Image:Colt Model 733.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt Model 733 with 11.5" Barrel (The Model 723 is the export model of the same weapon - used by forces of the UAE and US Delta Force) 5.56mm]]<br /> <br /> ===Rangers===<br /> While the Rangers are armed almost entirely with [[M16A2]] rifles, Capt. Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) uses an M733 rifle, noted by the 11.5" barrel, with nothing modified or changed. "Doc" Schmid ([[Hugh Dancy]]) also uses an M733, presumably because as a medic, he would need a lighter, more versatile weapon to move quickly to wounded soldiers.<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Cpt. Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) with his M733 carbine.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Steele shows the Delta Operators you don't need a fancy scope to fire an M733. Iron sights.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Ranger medic Sgt. Schmid ([[Hugh Dancy]]) with his M733 in hand.]]<br /> <br /> ===Delta Sniper===<br /> Delta Force Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) uses a [[M16 rifle series|CAR15A2]] rifle modified with camo paint, scope and a tactical light, but his is also fitted with a sound suppressor. Shughart gives this rifle to the wounded Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant, who uses it before it runs out of ammo.<br /> [[Image:BHDCommandoSuppressed-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) hovers above the second crash site with his suppressed M733.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommandoSuppressed-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gordon fires his suppressed M733 in defense of the crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommandoSuppressed-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mike Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]) with Gordon's M733.]]<br /> <br /> ===CAR-15===<br /> Some of the Deltas Operators are seen using [[M16 rifle series#Colt XM177/CAR-15/Commando Series |Colt Commando CAR-15]] carbines with the original long type muzzle break, which are also heavily customized. There is a high possibility they are built from several Commando types so a definite I.D. isn't certain unless the armorer can verify it.<br /> <br /> [[Image:BHDXM177E2-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta with his CAR-15 A2 rifle at the ready, right side.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 2006.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta with a CAR-15.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDXM177E2-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta operator fires on a Somali .50 gunner with his CAR-15.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt M4 carbine==<br /> Hoot seems to use an [[M16 rifle series|Colt M4 carbine]] rifle with the same customizations and paint job as the Commando rifles when doing solo operations in Somalia, noted by its removable carry handle. He uses it to shoot a wild boar from a chopper, and is chastized by Cpt. Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) for keeping the weapon's safety off in the baracks. It is noted as an M4, the burst rifle varient because the M4A1, the full-auto varient had not been issued yet. The M4A1 would begin issue around 1995 or so. One of the Deltas is also seen using an M4 carbine during the operation itself.<br /> <br /> A bit of anachronism here, both the M4 and M4A1 entered service in 1994, a year after the events of this film (in 1993), so the M4 should technically not be in Hoot's hands. The probable reason was the fact that most of the earlier M16 Carbines are hard to come by, so they needed something to fill that gap.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ColtM4 FirstVersion.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Colt M4 carbine 5.56x45mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM4-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"Who's hungry?" Hoot readies his M4 carbine to shoot a wild boar. Note flashlight pressure switch attached to the handguards with electric tape. Also note that Hoot racks the action twice; once when he boards the chopper, and another time when he readies to shoot the boar.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM4-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Cpt. Steele points out to Hoot that whether a undisciplined Delta Operator or not, his M4 carbine should be safetied in the barracks. Hoot replies "This is my safety" and bends his pointer finger. Note the knobs on the carry handle used to remove it from the gun and custom pistol grip.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM4-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta operator breaches and clears with an M4 carbine in hand. Note the removable carry handle.]]<br /> <br /> == M60 machine gun ==<br /> Specialist Shawn Nelson ([[Ewen Bremner]]) can be seen carrying an [[M60 machine gun]] machine gun as his standard weapon. Some of the Somalis can be seen using them as well.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M60.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M60 - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M60.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Nelson with his M60.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-Blanks.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Nelson with his M60, here clearly loaded with blanks.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M60-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Nelson fires his M60.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Nelson firing his M60.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali fires an M60 at the Deltas.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali fires an M60 at the humvees.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-1-1-1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Ranger fires his M60 at the Somalis.]]<br /> <br /> == FN Minimi ==<br /> <br /> Several Rangers can be seen carrying [[FN Minimi|FN Minimis]] throughout the film, standing in for the [[FN Minimi|M249-E1 SAW]]. It is also the weapon used by Specialist Lance Twombly ([[Tom Hardy]]) to accidentally deafen Nelson when he fires it too close to his head. The Minimis are also fitted with circular 200-round cloth ammo bags instead of hard plastic drums.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M249 FN MINIMI DA-SC-85-11586 c1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|FN Minimi 5.56x45mm with 200-round ammo drum]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M249-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|PFC John Waddell ([[Ian Virgo]]) with an FN Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M249.jpg|thumb|none|600px|PFC John Waddell ([[Ian Virgo]]) firing his Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Twombley with his FN Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Close up of the charging handle rocking in slow motion on the FN Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Twombley with his FN Minimi, yelling to Yurek about how they almost killed him]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Ranger fires his FN Minimi during the "Mogadishu Mile"]]<br /> <br /> == M16A2 ==<br /> <br /> Staff Sgt. Matt Eversmann ([[Josh Hartnett]]) leads his Rangers armed, like most of them, with an [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]].<br /> <br /> [[Image:M16A2.jpg|thumb|450px|none|M16A2 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M16-3.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|SSgt.

Rangers are usually trained not to fire in bursts unless "they have a damn good reason", as quoted by several Drill Sergeants.]]<br /> <br /> == M14 Rifle ==<br /> The [[M14 Rifle#M14 Rifle|M14 rifle]] is seen being used by Delta Force Sergeant First Class Randy Shughart ([[Johnny Strong]]), most notably when he and Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) are covering the second crash site. His M14 sports a camouflage paint scheme and an M68 Aimpoint scope. <br /> [[Image:M14Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M14 rifle - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M21.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|SFC Shughart fires his M14. This shot appears to have been reversed. Note how the bolt and the battery slot on the Aimpoint is on the left side, not the right. Also see how Shughart and Gordon (off-shot) are right-handed in the other shots except for this one.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M21-2.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|SFC Shughart covers the second crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM14-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|SFC Shughart fires his M14 in defense of the second crash site.]]<br /> <br /> ==M16A1==<br /> [[M16#M16A1 Rifle|M16A1]] rifles are seen in the Somali arms dealer's shop and one militia member is seen loading up one. At one point, Rangers can be seen watching a portion of the film ''[[Jerk, The|The Jerk]]'' where a madman is trying to shoot the protagonist using a scoped M16A1.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M16A1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M16A1 - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|M16A1 rifles hang in the dealer's shop along with M16A2s, likely captured from American forces.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A1-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A TV Beales ([[Ioan Gruffudd]]) is watching showing a scene from ''The Jerk'' where a man is firing a scoped M16A1 moments before Beales' epilepsy kicks in and he seizes.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A1-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A militiaman picks up an M16A1 with the flash hider removed and with a strange smooth ten round magazine.]]<br /> <br /> ==CETME==<br /> Spanish [[CETME]] rifles are seen among the weapons in the arms dealer's shop, many of which are taken by the militia to combat the U.S. forces. They are not [[Heckler & Koch G3]]s, most notabley because they have a simple fixed sight instead of a rear sight spindle.<br /> [[Image:cetme.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Spanish CETME rifle chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCETME-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Militia members pick up CETME rifles in the dealer's shop.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCETME-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|CETME rifles hanging next to the dealer.]]<br /> <br /> == Heckler & Koch G3A3 ==<br /> <br /> The local militia arm themselves with, among many other weapons, [[Heckler & Koch G3|Heckler & Koch G3A3]] assault rifles. <br /> <br /> [[Image:HKG3A3.jpg|thumb|none|400px|G3A3 7.62x51mm NATO with green synthetic furniture]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-G3A3-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali militia member firing a G3A3 at the first MH-60K crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDG3-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali militia member takes cover from a Ranger's .50 caliber barrage armed with a G3A3.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDG3-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A militia member fires his G3A3.]]<br /> <br /> == PKM Light Machine Gun ==<br /> <br /> A [[PK Machine Gun|PKM light machine gun]] is seen resting on a table in the Somali arms dealer's shop.<br /> <br /> [[Image:PKM-mg.jpg|thumb|none|400px|PKM light machine gun 7.62x54mm R]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMAG58-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A PKM sits on the arms dealer's table]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMAG58-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A shot of the PKM muzzle brake]]<br /> <br /> ==SVD Dragunov==<br /> When Hoot ([[Eric Bana]]) is in the Somali town, he passes the arms dealer, who has an [[SVD Dragunov]] on display. <br /> [[Image:SVD Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|400px|SVD Dragunov - 7.62x54R.]]<br /> [[Image:Bhd svd-edited.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An SVD Dragunov is seen behind Hoot. (Interesting anachronism here: the shades, Oakley Juliets, worn by actor Eric Bana did not exist during the events of this film.)]]<br /> <br /> == RPK ==<br /> One of the Somalis fires on Mike Durant's Black Hawk armed with an [[RPK light machine gun]]. Its blonde furniture indicates it could be a foreign copy. The machining divots in the receiver could help indicate its origins as well.<br /> (the milled receiver, blonde wood, and the fact that the selector is in semi seem to suggest it is an Arsenal Bulgarian RPK, probably a US-made semi-auto variant)<br /> [[Image:RPK lmg.jpg|thumb|none|400px|RPK light machine gun 7.62x39mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPK.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali fires his RPK at the downed Black Hawk.]]<br /> <br /> == RPG-7 ==<br /> <br /> The Russian manufactured [[RPG-7]] features prominently in the film as the weapon which brings down a pair of UH-60 Blackhawks. In one scene inspired by an actual event, a projectile from an RPG-7 strikes Pvt. Kowalewski ([[Brendan Sexton III]]), the driver of one of the deuce and a half trucks in Lt. Colonel Danny McKnight ([[Tom Sizemore]])'s convoy and fails to detonate, impaling the luckless soldier instead.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Rpg-7-1-.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|RPG-7 70mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPG7-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|RPG-7s being handed out by the militia.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-RPG7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A rocket propelled grenade being fired at a Black Hawk.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPG7-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A milita member fires the RPG that takes down Super Six One, causing the first Blackhawk crash of the operation.

A group of Deltas led by Hoot soon kill the gunners and then turn the weapon against the militia, killing several with one shot before destroying the weapon with a thermite grenade.<br /> [[Image:BHD 010.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aidid's militia prepare to fire the SPG-9 Recoilless on the Rangers and Deltas who are holed-up at the first crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 012.jpg|thumb|none|600px|After eliminating the recoilless operators, Hoot and another Delta operator prepare to fire the SPG-9 recoilless rifle on the militia.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 009.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Hoot ([[Eric Bana]]) fires the recoilless rifle.]]<br /> <br /> ==Cobray CM203 Flare Launcher==<br /> Many of the Rangers' [[M16 rifle series|M16A2s]] are fitted with [[Cobray 37mm Launcher|Cobray CM203 37mm Flare Launchers]], standing in for the [[M203 grenade launcher]].

As the two Delta snipers attempt to secure the second crash site they are forced to draw their M1911A1 pistols as the overwhelming Somali forces close in on them. Delta Force Sgt. Wex ([[Kim Coates]]) can be seen at the firing range with an M1911A1 near the beginning of the film can be seen at the firing range with an M1911A1 near the beginning of the film. <br /> [[Image:M1911Colt.jpg|thumb|none|350px|M1911A1 .45 ACP]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM1911A1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Delta Force Sgt.

Mainly it is seen in the hands of Maddox in the Humvee. McKnight himself carries his M9 sidearm around as a proper means to defend himself.<br /> <br /> [[Image:BerettaM92FS.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Beretta M92FS 9x19mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M9-3.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|A Humvee driver, Maddox ([[Michael Roof]]) fires his M9.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM9.jpg|thumb|none|600px|McKnight is seen armed with his M9 when walking away from a Ranger, blown in half by an RPG.]]<br /> <br /> == Heckler & Koch MP5A3 ==<br /> <br /> Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]), the UH-60 Black Hawk pilot of Super Six-Four, is armed with a [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A3|Heckler & Koch MP5A3]] with a slim handgrip and uses it to defend himself after he's shot down. The MP5 was briefly issued to helicopter crews as a personal defense weapon (PDW), but was discontinued in this role when it was determined its 9x19mm ammo lacked sufficient stopping power against armor-wearing or drug-crazed enemies, as was the case in Somalia. The guns is also briefly used by SFC Randy Shughart before being killed by the overwhelming militia.<br /> In the book and real life, the weapons were actually [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5K|MP5K]]s. They were referred to as "Skinny Popper, a reference to the men's nickname for the Somalis.<br /> <br /> [[Image:H&KMP5A3slimforearm.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch MP5A3 9x19mm with slim handguard]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMP5A3-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|While trapped in his pilot seat, CWO Michael Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]) prepares to defend himself with his H&K MP5A3.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMP5A3-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Durant fires his Heckler & Koch MP5A3 at the approaching Somalis.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 018.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Durant continues firing his H&K MP5A3 as the Delta snipers extract him from his downed Blackhawk.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMP5A3-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sgt.

The opening shots of the film feature Somali militiamen slaughtering a gathered crowd at a food distribution center with the powerful fifty-cal. <br /> [[Image:BrowningM2.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Browning M2HB .50 BMG in vehicle mounting]] <br /> [[Image:BHD 022.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The opening shots of Black Hawk Down.

Pylon-mounted miniguns, mounted alongside 2.75 rockets, are also carried by the AH-6 ''Little Birds'' and rain lead in several scenes.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Minigun.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Dillon Aero M134 with flash suppressor - 7.62x51mm NATO.

The M72A3 was a Post Vietnam improved model of the M72 Rocket, and the last variation used by the U.S. Army. Upgrade versions (up to M72A7) of the LAW are being fielded by the U.S. Navy and USMC as recently as 2007.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M72A2LAW.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M72A2 LAW 66mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M72.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Lieutenant Tom DiTomasso takes aims at a technical.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M72-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A 66mm rocket fired from an [[M72 LAW|M72A3 LAW]] mid-flight.]]<br /> <br /> ==Remington 870==<br /> While never used on screen, Sgt. Sanderson ([[William Fichtner]]) can be seen with a customized [[Remington 870]] Express Magnum (standing in for an 870 Police Magnum) slung over his right shoulder. A pistol grip (minus the folding stock) is used in place of the full stock. This same setup is used on a short 870 by [[Charlie Sheen]] in the movie ''[[Navy SEALs]]''. <br /> <br /> In a deleted scene, Sgt. Sanderson uses the shotgun to blow the hinges on a door inside the target building.<br /> [[Image:Remington870PoliceFolder.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|Remington 870 Police Magnum with folding stock (One seen in the movie lacked the folding stock).]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRem870-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sanderson with his Remington 870 Express Magnum slung over his back.

<p>Rusgunnut1: /* Colt M4 carbine */</p> <hr /> <div>'''The following weapons were used in the film ''Black Hawk Down''':''<br /> [[Image:Black hawk down ver1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|''[[Black Hawk Down]]'' (2001)]]<br /> <br /> == Colt Commando ==<br /> <br /> The Delta operators mainly wield the M727 and M733 variants of the [[M16 rifle series#Colt XM177/CAR-15/Commando Series |Colt Commando]]. The M727 variant is identified by its A2 upper receiver and 14.5" barrel with the cutout for mounting an M203 grenade launcher; the M733 has the shorter 11.5" barrel. Staff Sgt. Daniel Busch ([[Richard Tyson]]) is the first Delta member on screen, and also the first soldier we see carrying an [[M16 rifle series#Colt Carbine/Model 653/Model 733|M727]]. All Delta members carry M727s and M733s, fitted with various accessories such as Aimpoint scopes and surefire flashlights. Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) can be seen carrying an M733 featuring a camouflage paint scheme and a sound suppressor, which is then used by Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]) to pick off several more Somalis before running out of ammunition and being overwhelmed. <br /> <br /> [[Image:Coltm727ima.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt Model 727 5.56x45mm]]<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Delta Customs===<br /> The Delta Force operators arm themselves differently from the Rangers by using customized Colt Model 727 and 733 rifles as opposed to longer, heavier M16A2 rifles. Many are fitted with such accessories as Aimpoint scopes, surefire tactical lights (with the pressure switch taped to the handguard with 100mph or electrical tape). Some of the Colts have camouflage paint schemes, and some of them are fitted with 14.5" barrels with M203 cuts (M727). <br /> [[Image:BHD-M733.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Delta Force SSgt. Busch ([[Richard Tyson]]) aims an M727 carbine at Somali militants raiding a Red Cross food distribution center while aboard a Blackhawk.

Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) uses an M733 rifle, noted by the 11.5" barrel, with nothing modified or changed. "Doc" Schmid ([[Hugh Dancy]]) also uses an M733, presumably because as a medic, he would need a lighter, more versatile weapon to move quickly to wounded soldiers.<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Cpt. Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) with his M733 carbine.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Steele shows the Delta Operators you don't need a fancy scope to fire an M733. Iron sights.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Ranger medic Sgt. Schmid ([[Hugh Dancy]]) with his M733 in hand.]]<br /> <br /> ===Delta Sniper===<br /> Delta Force Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) uses a [[M16 rifle series|CAR15A2]] rifle modified with camo paint, scope and a tactical light, but his is also fitted with a sound suppressor. Shughart gives this rifle to the wounded Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant, who uses it before it runs out of ammo.<br /> [[Image:BHDCommandoSuppressed-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) hovers above the second crash site with his suppressed M733.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommandoSuppressed-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gordon fires his suppressed M733 in defense of the crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommandoSuppressed-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mike Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]) with Gordon's M733.]]<br /> <br /> ===CAR-15===<br /> Some of the Deltas Operators are seen using [[M16 rifle series#Colt XM177/CAR-15/Commando Series |Colt Commando CAR-15]] carbines with the original long type muzzle break, which are also heavily customized. There is a high possibility they are built from several Commando types so a definite I.D. isn't certain unless the armorer can verify it.<br /> <br /> [[Image:BHDXM177E2-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta with his CAR-15 A2 rifle at the ready, right side.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 2006.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta with a CAR-15.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDXM177E2-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta operator fires on a Somali .50 gunner with his CAR-15.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt M4 carbine==<br /> Hoot seems to use an [[M16 rifle series|Colt M4 carbine]] rifle with the same customizations and paint job as the Commando rifles when doing solo operations in Somalia, noted by its removable carry handle. He uses it to shoot a wild boar from a chopper, and is chastized by Cpt. Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) for keeping the weapon's safety off in the baracks. It is noted as an M4, the burst rifle varient because the M4A1, the full-auto varient had not been issued yet. The M4A1 would begin issue around 1995 or so. One of the Deltas is also seen using an M4 carbine during the operation itself.<br /> <br /> A bit of anachronism here, both the M4 and M4A1 entered service in 1994, a year after the events of this film (in 1993), so the M4 should technically not be in Hoot's hands. The probable reason was the fact that most of the earlier M16 Carbines are hard to come by, so they needed something to fill that gap.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ColtM4 FirstVersion.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Colt M4 carbine 5.56x45mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM4-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"Who's hungry?" Hoot readies his M4 carbine to shoot a wild boar. Note flashlight pressure switch attached to the handguards with electric tape. Also note that Hoot racks the action twice; once when he boards the chopper, and another time when he readies to shoot the boar.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM4-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Cpt. Steele points out to Hoot that whether a undisciplined Delta Operator or not, his M4 carbine should be safetied in the barracks. Hoot replies "This is my safety" and bends his pointer finger.

It is also the weapon used by Specialist Lance Twombly ([[Tom Hardy]]) to accidentally deafen Nelson when he fires it too close to his head. The Minimis are also fitted with circular 200-round cloth ammo bags instead of hard plastic drums.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M249 FN MINIMI DA-SC-85-11586 c1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|FN Minimi 5.56x45mm with 200-round ammo drum]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M249-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|PFC John Waddell ([[Ian Virgo]]) with an FN Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M249.jpg|thumb|none|600px|PFC John Waddell ([[Ian Virgo]]) firing his Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Twombley with his FN Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Close up of the charging handle rocking in slow motion on the FN Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Twombley with his FN Minimi, yelling to Yurek about how they almost killed him]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Ranger fires his FN Minimi during the "Mogadishu Mile"]]<br /> <br /> == M16A2 ==<br /> <br /> Staff Sgt.

Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) are covering the second crash site. His M14 sports a camouflage paint scheme and an M68 Aimpoint scope. <br /> [[Image:M14Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M14 rifle - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M21.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|SFC Shughart fires his M14.

At one point, Rangers can be seen watching a portion of the film ''[[Jerk, The|The Jerk]]'' where a madman is trying to shoot the protagonist using a scoped M16A1.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M16A1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M16A1 - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|M16A1 rifles hang in the dealer's shop along with M16A2s, likely captured from American forces.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A1-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A TV Beales ([[Ioan Gruffudd]]) is watching showing a scene from ''The Jerk'' where a man is firing a scoped M16A1 moments before Beales' epilepsy kicks in and he seizes.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A1-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A militiaman picks up an M16A1 with the flash hider removed and with a strange smooth ten round magazine.]]<br /> <br /> ==CETME==<br /> Spanish [[CETME]] rifles are seen among the weapons in the arms dealer's shop, many of which are taken by the militia to combat the U.S. forces. They are not [[Heckler & Koch G3]]s, most notabley because they have a simple fixed sight instead of a rear sight spindle.<br /> [[Image:cetme.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Spanish CETME rifle chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCETME-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Militia members pick up CETME rifles in the dealer's shop.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCETME-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|CETME rifles hanging next to the dealer.]]<br /> <br /> == Heckler & Koch G3A3 ==<br /> <br /> The local militia arm themselves with, among many other weapons, [[Heckler & Koch G3|Heckler & Koch G3A3]] assault rifles. <br /> <br /> [[Image:HKG3A3.jpg|thumb|none|400px|G3A3 7.62x51mm NATO with green synthetic furniture]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-G3A3-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali militia member firing a G3A3 at the first MH-60K crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDG3-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali militia member takes cover from a Ranger's .50 caliber barrage armed with a G3A3.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDG3-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A militia member fires his G3A3.]]<br /> <br /> == PKM Light Machine Gun ==<br /> <br /> A [[PK Machine Gun|PKM light machine gun]] is seen resting on a table in the Somali arms dealer's shop.<br /> <br /> [[Image:PKM-mg.jpg|thumb|none|400px|PKM light machine gun 7.62x54mm R]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMAG58-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A PKM sits on the arms dealer's table]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMAG58-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A shot of the PKM muzzle brake]]<br /> <br /> ==SVD Dragunov==<br /> When Hoot ([[Eric Bana]]) is in the Somali town, he passes the arms dealer, who has an [[SVD Dragunov]] on display. <br /> [[Image:SVD Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|400px|SVD Dragunov - 7.62x54R.]]<br /> [[Image:Bhd svd-edited.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An SVD Dragunov is seen behind Hoot. (Interesting anachronism here: the shades, Oakley Juliets, worn by actor Eric Bana did not exist during the events of this film.)]]<br /> <br /> == RPK ==<br /> One of the Somalis fires on Mike Durant's Black Hawk armed with an [[RPK light machine gun]]. Its blonde furniture indicates it could be a foreign copy. The machining divots in the receiver could help indicate its origins as well.<br /> (the milled receiver, blonde wood, and the fact that the selector is in semi seem to suggest it is an Arsenal Bulgarian RPK, probably a US-made semi-auto variant)<br /> [[Image:RPK lmg.jpg|thumb|none|400px|RPK light machine gun 7.62x39mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPK.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali fires his RPK at the downed Black Hawk.]]<br /> <br /> == RPG-7 ==<br /> <br /> The Russian manufactured [[RPG-7]] features prominently in the film as the weapon which brings down a pair of UH-60 Blackhawks. In one scene inspired by an actual event, a projectile from an RPG-7 strikes Pvt. Kowalewski ([[Brendan Sexton III]]), the driver of one of the deuce and a half trucks in Lt. Colonel Danny McKnight ([[Tom Sizemore]])'s convoy and fails to detonate, impaling the luckless soldier instead.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Rpg-7-1-.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|RPG-7 70mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPG7-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|RPG-7s being handed out by the militia.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-RPG7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A rocket propelled grenade being fired at a Black Hawk.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPG7-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A milita member fires the RPG that takes down Super Six One, causing the first Blackhawk crash of the operation.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPGhead.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An undetonated RPG warhead impales the deuce and a half driver, Pvt.

A group of Deltas led by Hoot soon kill the gunners and then turn the weapon against the militia, killing several with one shot before destroying the weapon with a thermite grenade.<br /> [[Image:BHD 010.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aidid's militia prepare to fire the SPG-9 Recoilless on the Rangers and Deltas who are holed-up at the first crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 012.jpg|thumb|none|600px|After eliminating the recoilless operators, Hoot and another Delta operator prepare to fire the SPG-9 recoilless rifle on the militia.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 009.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Hoot ([[Eric Bana]]) fires the recoilless rifle.]]<br /> <br /> ==Cobray CM203 Flare Launcher==<br /> Many of the Rangers' [[M16 rifle series|M16A2s]] are fitted with [[Cobray 37mm Launcher|Cobray CM203 37mm Flare Launchers]], standing in for the [[M203 grenade launcher]].

As the two Delta snipers attempt to secure the second crash site they are forced to draw their M1911A1 pistols as the overwhelming Somali forces close in on them. Delta Force Sgt. Wex ([[Kim Coates]]) can be seen at the firing range with an M1911A1 near the beginning of the film can be seen at the firing range with an M1911A1 near the beginning of the film. <br /> [[Image:M1911Colt.jpg|thumb|none|350px|M1911A1 .45 ACP]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM1911A1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Delta Force Sgt.

Mainly it is seen in the hands of Maddox in the Humvee. McKnight himself carries his M9 sidearm around as a proper means to defend himself.<br /> <br /> [[Image:BerettaM92FS.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Beretta M92FS 9x19mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M9-3.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|A Humvee driver, Maddox ([[Michael Roof]]) fires his M9.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM9.jpg|thumb|none|600px|McKnight is seen armed with his M9 when walking away from a Ranger, blown in half by an RPG.]]<br /> <br /> == Heckler & Koch MP5A3 ==<br /> <br /> Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]), the UH-60 Black Hawk pilot of Super Six-Four, is armed with a [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A3|Heckler & Koch MP5A3]] with a slim handgrip and uses it to defend himself after he's shot down. The MP5 was briefly issued to helicopter crews as a personal defense weapon (PDW), but was discontinued in this role when it was determined its 9x19mm ammo lacked sufficient stopping power against armor-wearing or drug-crazed enemies, as was the case in Somalia. The guns is also briefly used by SFC Randy Shughart before being killed by the overwhelming militia.<br /> In the book and real life, the weapons were actually [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5K|MP5K]]s.

A pistol grip (minus the folding stock) is used in place of the full stock. This same setup is used on a short 870 by [[Charlie Sheen]] in the movie ''[[Navy SEALs]]''. <br /> <br /> In a deleted scene, Sgt.

<p>Rusgunnut1: /* CAR-15 */</p> <hr /> <div>'''The following weapons were used in the film ''Black Hawk Down''':''<br /> [[Image:Black hawk down ver1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|''[[Black Hawk Down]]'' (2001)]]<br /> <br /> == Colt Commando ==<br /> <br /> The Delta operators mainly wield the M727 and M733 variants of the [[M16 rifle series#Colt XM177/CAR-15/Commando Series |Colt Commando]]. The M727 variant is identified by its A2 upper receiver and 14.5" barrel with the cutout for mounting an M203 grenade launcher; the M733 has the shorter 11.5" barrel. Staff Sgt. Daniel Busch ([[Richard Tyson]]) is the first Delta member on screen, and also the first soldier we see carrying an [[M16 rifle series#Colt Carbine/Model 653/Model 733|M727]]. All Delta members carry M727s and M733s, fitted with various accessories such as Aimpoint scopes and surefire flashlights. Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) can be seen carrying an M733 featuring a camouflage paint scheme and a sound suppressor, which is then used by Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]) to pick off several more Somalis before running out of ammunition and being overwhelmed. <br /> <br /> [[Image:Coltm727ima.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt Model 727 5.56x45mm]]<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Delta Customs===<br /> The Delta Force operators arm themselves differently from the Rangers by using customized Colt Model 727 and 733 rifles as opposed to longer, heavier M16A2 rifles. Many are fitted with such accessories as Aimpoint scopes, surefire tactical lights (with the pressure switch taped to the handguard with 100mph or electrical tape). Some of the Colts have camouflage paint schemes, and some of them are fitted with 14.5" barrels with M203 cuts (M727). <br /> [[Image:BHD-M733.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Delta Force SSgt. Busch ([[Richard Tyson]]) aims an M727 carbine at Somali militants raiding a Red Cross food distribution center while aboard a Blackhawk. Note the flashlight pressure switch taped to the handguard.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M733-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Delta Force Sgt. Sanderson ([[William Fichtner]]) fires his M727 carbine.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sgt.

Busch climbs out of his crashed Blackhawk and fires his M727 at the Somalis.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sgt. Sanderson fires his M727 during the "Mogadishu Mile"..]]<br /> <br /> [[Image:Colt Model 733.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt Model 733 with 11.5" Barrel (The Model 723 is the export model of the same weapon - used by forces of the UAE and US Delta Force) 5.56mm]]<br /> <br /> ===Rangers===<br /> While the Rangers are armed almost entirely with [[M16A2]] rifles, Capt. Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) uses an M733 rifle, noted by the 11.5" barrel, with nothing modified or changed. "Doc" Schmid ([[Hugh Dancy]]) also uses an M733, presumably because as a medic, he would need a lighter, more versatile weapon to move quickly to wounded soldiers.<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Cpt. Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) with his M733 carbine.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Steele shows the Delta Operators you don't need a fancy scope to fire an M733. Iron sights.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Ranger medic Sgt. Schmid ([[Hugh Dancy]]) with his M733 in hand.]]<br /> <br /> ===Delta Sniper===<br /> Delta Force Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) uses a [[M16 rifle series|CAR15A2]] rifle modified with camo paint, scope and a tactical light, but his is also fitted with a sound suppressor. Shughart gives this rifle to the wounded Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant, who uses it before it runs out of ammo.<br /> [[Image:BHDCommandoSuppressed-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) hovers above the second crash site with his suppressed M733.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommandoSuppressed-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gordon fires his suppressed M733 in defense of the crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommandoSuppressed-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mike Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]) with Gordon's M733.]]<br /> <br /> ===CAR-15===<br /> Some of the Deltas Operators are seen using [[M16 rifle series#Colt XM177/CAR-15/Commando Series |Colt Commando CAR-15]] carbines with the original long type muzzle break, which are also heavily customized. There is a high possibility they are built from several Commando types so a definite I.D. isn't certain unless the armorer can verify it.<br /> <br /> [[Image:BHDXM177E2-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta with his CAR-15 A2 rifle at the ready, right side.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 2006.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta with a CAR-15.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDXM177E2-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta operator fires on a Somali .50 gunner with his CAR-15.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt M4 carbine==<br /> Hoot seems to use an [[M16 rifle series|Colt M4 carbine]] rifle with the same customizations and paint job as the Commando rifles when doing solo operations in Somalia, noted by its removable carry handle. He uses it to shoot a wild boar from a chopper, and is chastized by Cpt. Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) for keeping the weapon's safety off in the baracks. It is noted as an M4, the burst rifle varient because the M4A1, the full-auto varient had not been issued yet. The M4A1 would begin issue around 1995 or so. One of the Deltas is also seen using an M4 carbine during the operation itself.<br /> <br /> A bit of anachronism here, both the M4 and M4A1 entered service in 1994, a year after the events of this film (in 1993), so the M4 should technically not be in Hoot's hands. The probable reason was the fact that most of the earlier M16 Carbines are hard to come by, so they needed something to fill that gap.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ColtM4 FirstVersion.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Colt M4 carbine 5.56x45mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM4-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"Who's hungry?" Hoot readies his M4 carbine to shoot a wild boar. Note flashlight pressure switch attached to the handguards with electric tape. Also note that Hoot racks the action twice; once when he boards the chopper, and another time when he readies to shoot the boar.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM4-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Cpt. Steele points out to Hoot that whether a undisciplined Delta or not, his M4 carbine should be safetied in the barracks. Hoot replies "This is my safety" and bends his pointer finger. Note the knobs on the carry handle used to remove it from the gun and custom pistol grip.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM4-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta operator breaches and clears with an M4 carbine in hand. Note the removable carry handle.]]<br /> <br /> == M60 machine gun ==<br /> Specialist Shawn Nelson ([[Ewen Bremner]]) can be seen carrying an [[M60 machine gun]] machine gun as his standard weapon. Some of the Somalis can be seen using them as well.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M60.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M60 - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M60.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Nelson with his M60.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-Blanks.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Nelson with his M60, here clearly loaded with blanks.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M60-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Nelson fires his M60.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Nelson firing his M60.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali fires an M60 at the Deltas.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali fires an M60 at the humvees.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-1-1-1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Ranger fires his M60 at the Somalis.]]<br /> <br /> == FN Minimi ==<br /> <br /> Several Rangers can be seen carrying [[FN Minimi|FN Minimis]] throughout the film, standing in for the [[FN Minimi|M249-E1 SAW]]. It is also the weapon used by Specialist Lance Twombly ([[Tom Hardy]]) to accidentally deafen Nelson when he fires it too close to his head. The Minimis are also fitted with circular 200-round cloth ammo bags instead of hard plastic drums.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M249 FN MINIMI DA-SC-85-11586 c1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|FN Minimi 5.56x45mm with 200-round ammo drum]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M249-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|PFC John Waddell ([[Ian Virgo]]) with an FN Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M249.jpg|thumb|none|600px|PFC John Waddell ([[Ian Virgo]]) firing his Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Twombley with his FN Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Close up of the charging handle rocking in slow motion on the FN Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Twombley with his FN Minimi, yelling to Yurek about how they almost killed him]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Ranger fires his FN Minimi during the "Mogadishu Mile"]]<br /> <br /> == M16A2 ==<br /> <br /> Staff Sgt. Matt Eversmann ([[Josh Hartnett]]) leads his Rangers armed, like most of them, with an [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]].<br /> <br /> [[Image:M16A2.jpg|thumb|450px|none|M16A2 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M16-3.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|SSgt.

Mike Goodale ([[Carmine Giovinazzo]]) fires his M16A2 while making his way to the first Blackhawk crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A2-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Eversmann fires his M16A2 during the rescue of SSgt. Busch. The pilot on the left is CWO Keith Jones, who was the pilot who rescued the real Busch during the actual event.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A2-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Goodale ([[Carmine Giovinazzo]]) with his M16A2 as the Rangers and Delta hold off the Somalia forces.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A2shugart.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Delta Force SFC Randy Shughart ([[Johnny Strong]]) switches between his M14 and an M16A2 as the Delta snipers defend their position at the second crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A2-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Probably the only Ranger in the film to fire bursts from his M16A2. Rangers are usually trained not to fire in bursts unless "they have a damn good reason", as quoted by several Drill Sergeants.]]<br /> <br /> == M14 Rifle ==<br /> The [[M14 Rifle#M14 Rifle|M14 rifle]] is seen being used by Delta Force Sergeant First Class Randy Shughart ([[Johnny Strong]]), most notably when he and Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) are covering the second crash site. His M14 sports a camouflage paint scheme and an M68 Aimpoint scope. <br /> [[Image:M14Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M14 rifle - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M21.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|SFC Shughart fires his M14. This shot appears to have been reversed. Note how the bolt and the battery slot on the Aimpoint is on the left side, not the right. Also see how Shughart and Gordon (off-shot) are right-handed in the other shots except for this one.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M21-2.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|SFC Shughart covers the second crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM14-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|SFC Shughart fires his M14 in defense of the second crash site.]]<br /> <br /> ==M16A1==<br /> [[M16#M16A1 Rifle|M16A1]] rifles are seen in the Somali arms dealer's shop and one militia member is seen loading up one. At one point, Rangers can be seen watching a portion of the film ''[[Jerk, The|The Jerk]]'' where a madman is trying to shoot the protagonist using a scoped M16A1.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M16A1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M16A1 - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|M16A1 rifles hang in the dealer's shop along with M16A2s, likely captured from American forces.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A1-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A TV Beales ([[Ioan Gruffudd]]) is watching showing a scene from ''The Jerk'' where a man is firing a scoped M16A1 moments before Beales' epilepsy kicks in and he seizes.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A1-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A militiaman picks up an M16A1 with the flash hider removed and with a strange smooth ten round magazine.]]<br /> <br /> ==CETME==<br /> Spanish [[CETME]] rifles are seen among the weapons in the arms dealer's shop, many of which are taken by the militia to combat the U.S. forces. They are not [[Heckler & Koch G3]]s, most notabley because they have a simple fixed sight instead of a rear sight spindle.<br /> [[Image:cetme.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Spanish CETME rifle chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCETME-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Militia members pick up CETME rifles in the dealer's shop.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCETME-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|CETME rifles hanging next to the dealer.]]<br /> <br /> == Heckler & Koch G3A3 ==<br /> <br /> The local militia arm themselves with, among many other weapons, [[Heckler & Koch G3|Heckler & Koch G3A3]] assault rifles. <br /> <br /> [[Image:HKG3A3.jpg|thumb|none|400px|G3A3 7.62x51mm NATO with green synthetic furniture]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-G3A3-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali militia member firing a G3A3 at the first MH-60K crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDG3-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali militia member takes cover from a Ranger's .50 caliber barrage armed with a G3A3.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDG3-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A militia member fires his G3A3.]]<br /> <br /> == PKM Light Machine Gun ==<br /> <br /> A [[PK Machine Gun|PKM light machine gun]] is seen resting on a table in the Somali arms dealer's shop.<br /> <br /> [[Image:PKM-mg.jpg|thumb|none|400px|PKM light machine gun 7.62x54mm R]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMAG58-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A PKM sits on the arms dealer's table]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMAG58-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A shot of the PKM muzzle brake]]<br /> <br /> ==SVD Dragunov==<br /> When Hoot ([[Eric Bana]]) is in the Somali town, he passes the arms dealer, who has an [[SVD Dragunov]] on display. <br /> [[Image:SVD Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|400px|SVD Dragunov - 7.62x54R.]]<br /> [[Image:Bhd svd-edited.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An SVD Dragunov is seen behind Hoot. (Interesting anachronism here: the shades, Oakley Juliets, worn by actor Eric Bana did not exist during the events of this film.)]]<br /> <br /> == RPK ==<br /> One of the Somalis fires on Mike Durant's Black Hawk armed with an [[RPK light machine gun]]. Its blonde furniture indicates it could be a foreign copy. The machining divots in the receiver could help indicate its origins as well.<br /> (the milled receiver, blonde wood, and the fact that the selector is in semi seem to suggest it is an Arsenal Bulgarian RPK, probably a US-made semi-auto variant)<br /> [[Image:RPK lmg.jpg|thumb|none|400px|RPK light machine gun 7.62x39mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPK.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali fires his RPK at the downed Black Hawk.]]<br /> <br /> == RPG-7 ==<br /> <br /> The Russian manufactured [[RPG-7]] features prominently in the film as the weapon which brings down a pair of UH-60 Blackhawks. In one scene inspired by an actual event, a projectile from an RPG-7 strikes Pvt. Kowalewski ([[Brendan Sexton III]]), the driver of one of the deuce and a half trucks in Lt. Colonel Danny McKnight ([[Tom Sizemore]])'s convoy and fails to detonate, impaling the luckless soldier instead.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Rpg-7-1-.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|RPG-7 70mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPG7-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|RPG-7s being handed out by the militia.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-RPG7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A rocket propelled grenade being fired at a Black Hawk.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPG7-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A milita member fires the RPG that takes down Super Six One, causing the first Blackhawk crash of the operation.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPGhead.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An undetonated RPG warhead impales the deuce and a half driver, Pvt. Kowalewski ([[Brendan Sexton III]]).]]<br /> <br /> ==Norinco Type 69==<br /> Along with [[RPG-7]]s, Chinese [[RPG-7#Type 69|Norinco Type 69]] launchers are used by the militia.<br /> [[Image:Type69RPG.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Norinco Type 69 - 70mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDNorincoType69.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A militia member with a Type 69. Note how there is only one pistol grip and how he is holding the carry handle.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDNorincoType69-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A militia member with a Type 69.]]<br /> <br /> == Norinco Type 56 ==<br /> A full stock [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Norinco Type 56]] is used by a Somali to whack Mike Durant in the head. It has a slanted AKM syle muzzle break added on.<br /> [[Image:ChineseType56.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Norinco Type 56 with pig sticker type bayonet 7.62x39mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDType56.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali smacks Mike Durant across the face with a Norinco Type 56.]]<br /> <br /> == Norinco Type 56-1 ==<br /> <br /> Nearly all of the Somali gunmen are armed with the [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Norinco Type 56-1]] assault rifle, which is a Chinese derivative of the [[AK-47|AKS-47]]/[[AK-47#AKMS|AKMS]]. They are identified by the hooded front sights, which only Chinese Kalashnikov rifles have.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Type56S.jpg‎ |thumb|none|400px|Norinco Type 56-1 7.62x39mm.]] <br /> [[Image:BHD-AK47.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A "Skinny" dies firing his Type 56-1 ([[AK-47#AKMS|AKMS]]).]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-AK47-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Somali militiamen running with [[AK-47#AKMS|AKMS]].]]<br /> [[Image:BHDType56-1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A round from this Norinco Type 56-1 causes the first KIA, Sgt.

A group of Deltas led by Hoot soon kill the gunners and then turn the weapon against the militia, killing several with one shot before destroying the weapon with a thermite grenade.<br /> [[Image:BHD 010.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aidid's militia prepare to fire the SPG-9 Recoilless on the Rangers and Deltas who are holed-up at the first crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 012.jpg|thumb|none|600px|After eliminating the recoilless operators, Hoot and another Delta operator prepare to fire the SPG-9 recoilless rifle on the militia.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 009.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Hoot ([[Eric Bana]]) fires the recoilless rifle.]]<br /> <br /> ==Cobray CM203 Flare Launcher==<br /> Many of the Rangers' [[M16 rifle series|M16A2s]] are fitted with [[Cobray 37mm Launcher|Cobray CM203 37mm Flare Launchers]], standing in for the [[M203 grenade launcher]]. Most notably seen in the hands of Sgt. Ruiz ([[Enrique Murciano]]) of Capt. Steele's ([[Jason Isaacs]]) unit. See flare launcher page for a guide on telling them apart. <br /> [[Image:Coltflare.jpg|thumb|none|400px|[[Cobray 37mm Launcher|Cobray CM203 Flare Launcher]] 37mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDColtFlare-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Ranger behind Cpt.

As the two Delta snipers attempt to secure the second crash site they are forced to draw their M1911A1 pistols as the overwhelming Somali forces close in on them. Delta Force Sgt. Wex ([[Kim Coates]]) can be seen at the firing range with an M1911A1 near the beginning of the film can be seen at the firing range with an M1911A1 near the beginning of the film. <br /> [[Image:M1911Colt.jpg|thumb|none|350px|M1911A1 .45 ACP]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM1911A1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Delta Force Sgt.

Mainly it is seen in the hands of Maddox in the Humvee. McKnight himself carries his M9 sidearm around as a proper means to defend himself.<br /> <br /> [[Image:BerettaM92FS.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Beretta M92FS 9x19mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M9-3.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|A Humvee driver, Maddox ([[Michael Roof]]) fires his M9.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM9.jpg|thumb|none|600px|McKnight is seen armed with his M9 when walking away from a Ranger, blown in half by an RPG.]]<br /> <br /> == Heckler & Koch MP5A3 ==<br /> <br /> Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]), the UH-60 Black Hawk pilot of Super Six-Four, is armed with a [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A3|Heckler & Koch MP5A3]] with a slim handgrip and uses it to defend himself after he's shot down. The MP5 was briefly issued to helicopter crews as a personal defense weapon (PDW), but was discontinued in this role when it was determined its 9x19mm ammo lacked sufficient stopping power against armor-wearing or drug-crazed enemies, as was the case in Somalia. The guns is also briefly used by SFC Randy Shughart before being killed by the overwhelming militia.<br /> In the book and real life, the weapons were actually [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5K|MP5K]]s. They were referred to as "Skinny Popper, a reference to the men's nickname for the Somalis.<br /> <br /> [[Image:H&KMP5A3slimforearm.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch MP5A3 9x19mm with slim handguard]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMP5A3-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|While trapped in his pilot seat, CWO Michael Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]) prepares to defend himself with his H&K MP5A3.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMP5A3-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Durant fires his Heckler & Koch MP5A3 at the approaching Somalis.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 018.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Durant continues firing his H&K MP5A3 as the Delta snipers extract him from his downed Blackhawk.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMP5A3-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sgt.

The opening shots of the film feature Somali militiamen slaughtering a gathered crowd at a food distribution center with the powerful fifty-cal. <br /> [[Image:BrowningM2.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Browning M2HB .50 BMG in vehicle mounting]] <br /> [[Image:BHD 022.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The opening shots of Black Hawk Down.

Sanderson ([[William Fichtner]]) can be seen with a customized [[Remington 870]] Express Magnum (standing in for an 870 Police Magnum) slung over his right shoulder. A pistol grip (minus the folding stock) is used in place of the full stock. This same setup is used on a short 870 by [[Charlie Sheen]] in the movie ''[[Navy SEALs]]''. <br /> <br /> In a deleted scene, Sgt. Sanderson uses the shotgun to blow the hinges on a door inside the target building.<br /> [[Image:Remington870PoliceFolder.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|Remington 870 Police Magnum with folding stock (One seen in the movie lacked the folding stock).]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRem870-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sanderson with his Remington 870 Express Magnum slung over his back.

<p>Rusgunnut1: /* Rangers */</p> <hr /> <div>'''The following weapons were used in the film ''Black Hawk Down''':''<br /> [[Image:Black hawk down ver1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|''[[Black Hawk Down]]'' (2001)]]<br /> <br /> == Colt Commando ==<br /> <br /> The Delta operators mainly wield the M727 and M733 variants of the [[M16 rifle series#Colt XM177/CAR-15/Commando Series |Colt Commando]]. The M727 variant is identified by its A2 upper receiver and 14.5" barrel with the cutout for mounting an M203 grenade launcher; the M733 has the shorter 11.5" barrel. Staff Sgt. Daniel Busch ([[Richard Tyson]]) is the first Delta member on screen, and also the first soldier we see carrying an [[M16 rifle series#Colt Carbine/Model 653/Model 733|M727]]. All Delta members carry M727s and M733s, fitted with various accessories such as Aimpoint scopes and surefire flashlights. Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) can be seen carrying an M733 featuring a camouflage paint scheme and a sound suppressor, which is then used by Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]) to pick off several more Somalis before running out of ammunition and being overwhelmed. <br /> <br /> [[Image:Coltm727ima.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt Model 727 5.56x45mm]]<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Delta Customs===<br /> The Delta Force operators arm themselves differently from the Rangers by using customized Colt Model 727 and 733 rifles as opposed to longer, heavier M16A2 rifles. Many are fitted with such accessories as Aimpoint scopes, surefire tactical lights (with the pressure switch taped to the handguard with 100mph or electrical tape). Some of the Colts have camouflage paint schemes, and some of them are fitted with 14.5" barrels with M203 cuts (M727). <br /> [[Image:BHD-M733.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Delta Force SSgt. Busch ([[Richard Tyson]]) aims an M727 carbine at Somali militants raiding a Red Cross food distribution center while aboard a Blackhawk. Note the flashlight pressure switch taped to the handguard.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M733-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Delta Force Sgt. Sanderson ([[William Fichtner]]) fires his M727 carbine.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sgt.

Busch climbs out of his crashed Blackhawk and fires his M727 at the Somalis.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sgt. Sanderson fires his M727 during the "Mogadishu Mile"..]]<br /> <br /> [[Image:Colt Model 733.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt Model 733 with 11.5" Barrel (The Model 723 is the export model of the same weapon - used by forces of the UAE and US Delta Force) 5.56mm]]<br /> <br /> ===Rangers===<br /> While the Rangers are armed almost entirely with [[M16A2]] rifles, Capt. Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) uses an M733 rifle, noted by the 11.5" barrel, with nothing modified or changed. "Doc" Schmid ([[Hugh Dancy]]) also uses an M733, presumably because as a medic, he would need a lighter, more versatile weapon to move quickly to wounded soldiers.<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Cpt. Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) with his M733 carbine.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Steele shows the Delta Operators you don't need a fancy scope to fire an M733. Iron sights.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Ranger medic Sgt. Schmid ([[Hugh Dancy]]) with his M733 in hand.]]<br /> <br /> ===Delta Sniper===<br /> Delta Force Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) uses a [[M16 rifle series|CAR15A2]] rifle modified with camo paint, scope and a tactical light, but his is also fitted with a sound suppressor. Shughart gives this rifle to the wounded Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant, who uses it before it runs out of ammo.<br /> [[Image:BHDCommandoSuppressed-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) hovers above the second crash site with his suppressed M733.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommandoSuppressed-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gordon fires his suppressed M733 in defense of the crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommandoSuppressed-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mike Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]) with Gordon's M733.]]<br /> <br /> ===CAR-15===<br /> Some of the Deltas are seen using [[M16 rifle series#Colt XM177/CAR-15/Commando Series |Colt Commando CAR-15]] carbines with the original long type muzzle break, which are also heavily customized. There is a high possibility they are built from several Commando types so a definite I.D. isn't certain unless the armorer can verify it.<br /> <br /> [[Image:BHDXM177E2-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta with his CAR-15 A2 rifle at the ready, right side.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 2006.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta with a CAR-15.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDXM177E2-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta operator fires on a Somali .50 gunner with his CAR-15.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt M4 carbine==<br /> Hoot seems to use an [[M16 rifle series|Colt M4 carbine]] rifle with the same customizations and paint job as the Commando rifles when doing solo operations in Somalia, noted by its removable carry handle. He uses it to shoot a wild boar from a chopper, and is chastized by Cpt. Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) for keeping the weapon's safety off in the baracks. It is noted as an M4, the burst rifle varient because the M4A1, the full-auto varient had not been issued yet. The M4A1 would begin issue around 1995 or so. One of the Deltas is also seen using an M4 carbine during the operation itself.<br /> <br /> A bit of anachronism here, both the M4 and M4A1 entered service in 1994, a year after the events of this film (in 1993), so the M4 should technically not be in Hoot's hands. The probable reason was the fact that most of the earlier M16 Carbines are hard to come by, so they needed something to fill that gap.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ColtM4 FirstVersion.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Colt M4 carbine 5.56x45mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM4-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"Who's hungry?" Hoot readies his M4 carbine to shoot a wild boar. Note flashlight pressure switch attached to the handguards with electric tape. Also note that Hoot racks the action twice; once when he boards the chopper, and another time when he readies to shoot the boar.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM4-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Cpt. Steele points out to Hoot that whether a undisciplined Delta or not, his M4 carbine should be safetied in the barracks. Hoot replies "This is my safety" and bends his pointer finger. Note the knobs on the carry handle used to remove it from the gun and custom pistol grip.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM4-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta operator breaches and clears with an M4 carbine in hand. Note the removable carry handle.]]<br /> <br /> == M60 machine gun ==<br /> Specialist Shawn Nelson ([[Ewen Bremner]]) can be seen carrying an [[M60 machine gun]] machine gun as his standard weapon. Some of the Somalis can be seen using them as well.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M60.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M60 - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M60.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Nelson with his M60.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-Blanks.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Nelson with his M60, here clearly loaded with blanks.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M60-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Nelson fires his M60.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Nelson firing his M60.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali fires an M60 at the Deltas.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali fires an M60 at the humvees.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-1-1-1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Ranger fires his M60 at the Somalis.]]<br /> <br /> == FN Minimi ==<br /> <br /> Several Rangers can be seen carrying [[FN Minimi|FN Minimis]] throughout the film, standing in for the [[FN Minimi|M249-E1 SAW]]. It is also the weapon used by Specialist Lance Twombly ([[Tom Hardy]]) to accidentally deafen Nelson when he fires it too close to his head. The Minimis are also fitted with circular 200-round cloth ammo bags instead of hard plastic drums.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M249 FN MINIMI DA-SC-85-11586 c1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|FN Minimi 5.56x45mm with 200-round ammo drum]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M249-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|PFC John Waddell ([[Ian Virgo]]) with an FN Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M249.jpg|thumb|none|600px|PFC John Waddell ([[Ian Virgo]]) firing his Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Twombley with his FN Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Close up of the charging handle rocking in slow motion on the FN Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Twombley with his FN Minimi, yelling to Yurek about how they almost killed him]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Ranger fires his FN Minimi during the "Mogadishu Mile"]]<br /> <br /> == M16A2 ==<br /> <br /> Staff Sgt. Matt Eversmann ([[Josh Hartnett]]) leads his Rangers armed, like most of them, with an [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]].<br /> <br /> [[Image:M16A2.jpg|thumb|450px|none|M16A2 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M16-3.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|SSgt.

Rangers are usually trained not to fire in bursts unless "they have a damn good reason", as quoted by several Drill Sergeants.]]<br /> <br /> == M14 Rifle ==<br /> The [[M14 Rifle#M14 Rifle|M14 rifle]] is seen being used by Delta Force Sergeant First Class Randy Shughart ([[Johnny Strong]]), most notably when he and Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) are covering the second crash site. His M14 sports a camouflage paint scheme and an M68 Aimpoint scope. <br /> [[Image:M14Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M14 rifle - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M21.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|SFC Shughart fires his M14.

At one point, Rangers can be seen watching a portion of the film ''[[Jerk, The|The Jerk]]'' where a madman is trying to shoot the protagonist using a scoped M16A1.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M16A1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M16A1 - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|M16A1 rifles hang in the dealer's shop along with M16A2s, likely captured from American forces.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A1-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A TV Beales ([[Ioan Gruffudd]]) is watching showing a scene from ''The Jerk'' where a man is firing a scoped M16A1 moments before Beales' epilepsy kicks in and he seizes.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM16A1-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A militiaman picks up an M16A1 with the flash hider removed and with a strange smooth ten round magazine.]]<br /> <br /> ==CETME==<br /> Spanish [[CETME]] rifles are seen among the weapons in the arms dealer's shop, many of which are taken by the militia to combat the U.S. forces. They are not [[Heckler & Koch G3]]s, most notabley because they have a simple fixed sight instead of a rear sight spindle.<br /> [[Image:cetme.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Spanish CETME rifle chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCETME-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Militia members pick up CETME rifles in the dealer's shop.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCETME-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|CETME rifles hanging next to the dealer.]]<br /> <br /> == Heckler & Koch G3A3 ==<br /> <br /> The local militia arm themselves with, among many other weapons, [[Heckler & Koch G3|Heckler & Koch G3A3]] assault rifles. <br /> <br /> [[Image:HKG3A3.jpg|thumb|none|400px|G3A3 7.62x51mm NATO with green synthetic furniture]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-G3A3-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali militia member firing a G3A3 at the first MH-60K crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDG3-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali militia member takes cover from a Ranger's .50 caliber barrage armed with a G3A3.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDG3-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A militia member fires his G3A3.]]<br /> <br /> == PKM Light Machine Gun ==<br /> <br /> A [[PK Machine Gun|PKM light machine gun]] is seen resting on a table in the Somali arms dealer's shop.<br /> <br /> [[Image:PKM-mg.jpg|thumb|none|400px|PKM light machine gun 7.62x54mm R]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMAG58-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A PKM sits on the arms dealer's table]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMAG58-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A shot of the PKM muzzle brake]]<br /> <br /> ==SVD Dragunov==<br /> When Hoot ([[Eric Bana]]) is in the Somali town, he passes the arms dealer, who has an [[SVD Dragunov]] on display. <br /> [[Image:SVD Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|400px|SVD Dragunov - 7.62x54R.]]<br /> [[Image:Bhd svd-edited.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An SVD Dragunov is seen behind Hoot. (Interesting anachronism here: the shades, Oakley Juliets, worn by actor Eric Bana did not exist during the events of this film.)]]<br /> <br /> == RPK ==<br /> One of the Somalis fires on Mike Durant's Black Hawk armed with an [[RPK light machine gun]]. Its blonde furniture indicates it could be a foreign copy. The machining divots in the receiver could help indicate its origins as well.<br /> (the milled receiver, blonde wood, and the fact that the selector is in semi seem to suggest it is an Arsenal Bulgarian RPK, probably a US-made semi-auto variant)<br /> [[Image:RPK lmg.jpg|thumb|none|400px|RPK light machine gun 7.62x39mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPK.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali fires his RPK at the downed Black Hawk.]]<br /> <br /> == RPG-7 ==<br /> <br /> The Russian manufactured [[RPG-7]] features prominently in the film as the weapon which brings down a pair of UH-60 Blackhawks. In one scene inspired by an actual event, a projectile from an RPG-7 strikes Pvt. Kowalewski ([[Brendan Sexton III]]), the driver of one of the deuce and a half trucks in Lt. Colonel Danny McKnight ([[Tom Sizemore]])'s convoy and fails to detonate, impaling the luckless soldier instead.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Rpg-7-1-.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|RPG-7 70mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPG7-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|RPG-7s being handed out by the militia.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-RPG7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A rocket propelled grenade being fired at a Black Hawk.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPG7-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A milita member fires the RPG that takes down Super Six One, causing the first Blackhawk crash of the operation.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPGhead.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An undetonated RPG warhead impales the deuce and a half driver, Pvt.

A group of Deltas led by Hoot soon kill the gunners and then turn the weapon against the militia, killing several with one shot before destroying the weapon with a thermite grenade.<br /> [[Image:BHD 010.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aidid's militia prepare to fire the SPG-9 Recoilless on the Rangers and Deltas who are holed-up at the first crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 012.jpg|thumb|none|600px|After eliminating the recoilless operators, Hoot and another Delta operator prepare to fire the SPG-9 recoilless rifle on the militia.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 009.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Hoot ([[Eric Bana]]) fires the recoilless rifle.]]<br /> <br /> ==Cobray CM203 Flare Launcher==<br /> Many of the Rangers' [[M16 rifle series|M16A2s]] are fitted with [[Cobray 37mm Launcher|Cobray CM203 37mm Flare Launchers]], standing in for the [[M203 grenade launcher]].

As the two Delta snipers attempt to secure the second crash site they are forced to draw their M1911A1 pistols as the overwhelming Somali forces close in on them. Delta Force Sgt. Wex ([[Kim Coates]]) can be seen at the firing range with an M1911A1 near the beginning of the film can be seen at the firing range with an M1911A1 near the beginning of the film. <br /> [[Image:M1911Colt.jpg|thumb|none|350px|M1911A1 .45 ACP]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM1911A1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Delta Force Sgt.

Mainly it is seen in the hands of Maddox in the Humvee. McKnight himself carries his M9 sidearm around as a proper means to defend himself.<br /> <br /> [[Image:BerettaM92FS.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Beretta M92FS 9x19mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M9-3.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|A Humvee driver, Maddox ([[Michael Roof]]) fires his M9.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM9.jpg|thumb|none|600px|McKnight is seen armed with his M9 when walking away from a Ranger, blown in half by an RPG.]]<br /> <br /> == Heckler & Koch MP5A3 ==<br /> <br /> Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]), the UH-60 Black Hawk pilot of Super Six-Four, is armed with a [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A3|Heckler & Koch MP5A3]] with a slim handgrip and uses it to defend himself after he's shot down. The MP5 was briefly issued to helicopter crews as a personal defense weapon (PDW), but was discontinued in this role when it was determined its 9x19mm ammo lacked sufficient stopping power against armor-wearing or drug-crazed enemies, as was the case in Somalia. The guns is also briefly used by SFC Randy Shughart before being killed by the overwhelming militia.<br /> In the book and real life, the weapons were actually [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5K|MP5K]]s. They were referred to as "Skinny Popper, a reference to the men's nickname for the Somalis.<br /> <br /> [[Image:H&KMP5A3slimforearm.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch MP5A3 9x19mm with slim handguard]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMP5A3-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|While trapped in his pilot seat, CWO Michael Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]) prepares to defend himself with his H&K MP5A3.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMP5A3-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Durant fires his Heckler & Koch MP5A3 at the approaching Somalis.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 018.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Durant continues firing his H&K MP5A3 as the Delta snipers extract him from his downed Blackhawk.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMP5A3-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sgt.

The opening shots of the film feature Somali militiamen slaughtering a gathered crowd at a food distribution center with the powerful fifty-cal. <br /> [[Image:BrowningM2.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Browning M2HB .50 BMG in vehicle mounting]] <br /> [[Image:BHD 022.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The opening shots of Black Hawk Down.

Pylon-mounted miniguns, mounted alongside 2.75 rockets, are also carried by the AH-6 ''Little Birds'' and rain lead in several scenes.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Minigun.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Dillon Aero M134 with flash suppressor - 7.62x51mm NATO.

Sanderson ([[William Fichtner]]) can be seen with a customized [[Remington 870]] Express Magnum (standing in for an 870 Police Magnum) slung over his right shoulder. A pistol grip (minus the folding stock) is used in place of the full stock. This same setup is used on a short 870 by [[Charlie Sheen]] in the movie ''[[Navy SEALs]]''. <br /> <br /> In a deleted scene, Sgt. Sanderson uses the shotgun to blow the hinges on a door inside the target building.<br /> [[Image:Remington870PoliceFolder.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|Remington 870 Police Magnum with folding stock (One seen in the movie lacked the folding stock).]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRem870-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sanderson with his Remington 870 Express Magnum slung over his back.

<p>Rusgunnut1: /* Delta Customs */</p> <hr /> <div>'''The following weapons were used in the film ''Black Hawk Down''':''<br /> [[Image:Black hawk down ver1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|''[[Black Hawk Down]]'' (2001)]]<br /> <br /> == Colt Commando ==<br /> <br /> The Delta operators mainly wield the M727 and M733 variants of the [[M16 rifle series#Colt XM177/CAR-15/Commando Series |Colt Commando]]. The M727 variant is identified by its A2 upper receiver and 14.5" barrel with the cutout for mounting an M203 grenade launcher; the M733 has the shorter 11.5" barrel. Staff Sgt. Daniel Busch ([[Richard Tyson]]) is the first Delta member on screen, and also the first soldier we see carrying an [[M16 rifle series#Colt Carbine/Model 653/Model 733|M727]]. All Delta members carry M727s and M733s, fitted with various accessories such as Aimpoint scopes and surefire flashlights. Master Sgt. Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) can be seen carrying an M733 featuring a camouflage paint scheme and a sound suppressor, which is then used by Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]) to pick off several more Somalis before running out of ammunition and being overwhelmed. <br /> <br /> [[Image:Coltm727ima.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt Model 727 5.56x45mm]]<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Delta Customs===<br /> The Delta Force operators arm themselves differently from the Rangers by using customized Colt Model 727 and 733 rifles as opposed to longer, heavier M16A2 rifles. Many are fitted with such accessories as Aimpoint scopes, surefire tactical lights (with the pressure switch taped to the handguard with 100mph or electrical tape). Some of the Colts have camouflage paint schemes, and some of them are fitted with 14.5" barrels with M203 cuts (M727). <br /> [[Image:BHD-M733.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Delta Force SSgt.

Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) uses an M733 rifle, noted by the 11.5" barrel, with nothing modified or changed. "Doc" Schmid ([[Hugh Dancy]]) also uses an M733, presumably because as a medic, he would need a lighter, more versatile weapon to move quickly to wounded soldiers.<br /> [[Image:BHDCommando-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Cpt.

Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) uses a [[M16 rifle series|CAR15A2]] rifle modified with camo paint, scope and a tactical light, but his is also fitted with a sound suppressor. Shughart gives this rifle to the wounded Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant, who uses it before it runs out of ammo.<br /> [[Image:BHDCommandoSuppressed-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) hovers above the second crash site with his suppressed M733.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommandoSuppressed-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gordon fires his suppressed M733 in defense of the crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCommandoSuppressed-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mike Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]) with Gordon's M733.]]<br /> <br /> ===CAR-15===<br /> Some of the Deltas are seen using [[M16 rifle series#Colt XM177/CAR-15/Commando Series |Colt Commando CAR-15]] carbines with the original long type muzzle break, which are also heavily customized. There is a high possibility they are built from several Commando types so a definite I.D. isn't certain unless the armorer can verify it.<br /> <br /> [[Image:BHDXM177E2-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta with his CAR-15 A2 rifle at the ready, right side.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 2006.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta with a CAR-15.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDXM177E2-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Delta operator fires on a Somali .50 gunner with his CAR-15.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt M4 carbine==<br /> Hoot seems to use an [[M16 rifle series|Colt M4 carbine]] rifle with the same customizations and paint job as the Commando rifles when doing solo operations in Somalia, noted by its removable carry handle. He uses it to shoot a wild boar from a chopper, and is chastized by Cpt. Steele ([[Jason Isaacs]]) for keeping the weapon's safety off in the baracks. It is noted as an M4, the burst rifle varient because the M4A1, the full-auto varient had not been issued yet. The M4A1 would begin issue around 1995 or so. One of the Deltas is also seen using an M4 carbine during the operation itself.<br /> <br /> A bit of anachronism here, both the M4 and M4A1 entered service in 1994, a year after the events of this film (in 1993), so the M4 should technically not be in Hoot's hands. The probable reason was the fact that most of the earlier M16 Carbines are hard to come by, so they needed something to fill that gap.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ColtM4 FirstVersion.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Colt M4 carbine 5.56x45mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM4-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"Who's hungry?"

Some of the Somalis can be seen using them as well.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M60.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M60 - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M60.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Nelson with his M60.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-Blanks.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Nelson with his M60, here clearly loaded with blanks.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M60-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Nelson fires his M60.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Nelson firing his M60.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali fires an M60 at the Deltas.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali fires an M60 at the humvees.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM60E1-1-1-1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Ranger fires his M60 at the Somalis.]]<br /> <br /> == FN Minimi ==<br /> <br /> Several Rangers can be seen carrying [[FN Minimi|FN Minimis]] throughout the film, standing in for the [[FN Minimi|M249-E1 SAW]]. It is also the weapon used by Specialist Lance Twombly ([[Tom Hardy]]) to accidentally deafen Nelson when he fires it too close to his head. The Minimis are also fitted with circular 200-round cloth ammo bags instead of hard plastic drums.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M249 FN MINIMI DA-SC-85-11586 c1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|FN Minimi 5.56x45mm with 200-round ammo drum]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M249-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|PFC John Waddell ([[Ian Virgo]]) with an FN Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M249.jpg|thumb|none|600px|PFC John Waddell ([[Ian Virgo]]) firing his Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Twombley with his FN Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Close up of the charging handle rocking in slow motion on the FN Minimi]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Twombley with his FN Minimi, yelling to Yurek about how they almost killed him]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMinimi-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Ranger fires his FN Minimi during the "Mogadishu Mile"]]<br /> <br /> == M16A2 ==<br /> <br /> Staff Sgt.

Gary Gordon ([[Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]]) are covering the second crash site. His M14 sports a camouflage paint scheme and an M68 Aimpoint scope. <br /> [[Image:M14Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M14 rifle - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M21.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|SFC Shughart fires his M14.

They are not [[Heckler & Koch G3]]s, most notabley because they have a simple fixed sight instead of a rear sight spindle.<br /> [[Image:cetme.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Spanish CETME rifle chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCETME-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Militia members pick up CETME rifles in the dealer's shop.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDCETME-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|CETME rifles hanging next to the dealer.]]<br /> <br /> == Heckler & Koch G3A3 ==<br /> <br /> The local militia arm themselves with, among many other weapons, [[Heckler & Koch G3|Heckler & Koch G3A3]] assault rifles. <br /> <br /> [[Image:HKG3A3.jpg|thumb|none|400px|G3A3 7.62x51mm NATO with green synthetic furniture]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-G3A3-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali militia member firing a G3A3 at the first MH-60K crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDG3-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali militia member takes cover from a Ranger's .50 caliber barrage armed with a G3A3.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDG3-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A militia member fires his G3A3.]]<br /> <br /> == PKM Light Machine Gun ==<br /> <br /> A [[PK Machine Gun|PKM light machine gun]] is seen resting on a table in the Somali arms dealer's shop.<br /> <br /> [[Image:PKM-mg.jpg|thumb|none|400px|PKM light machine gun 7.62x54mm R]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMAG58-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A PKM sits on the arms dealer's table]]<br /> [[Image:BHDMAG58-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A shot of the PKM muzzle brake]]<br /> <br /> ==SVD Dragunov==<br /> When Hoot ([[Eric Bana]]) is in the Somali town, he passes the arms dealer, who has an [[SVD Dragunov]] on display. <br /> [[Image:SVD Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|400px|SVD Dragunov - 7.62x54R.]]<br /> [[Image:Bhd svd-edited.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An SVD Dragunov is seen behind Hoot. (Interesting anachronism here: the shades, Oakley Juliets, worn by actor Eric Bana did not exist during the events of this film.)]]<br /> <br /> == RPK ==<br /> One of the Somalis fires on Mike Durant's Black Hawk armed with an [[RPK light machine gun]]. Its blonde furniture indicates it could be a foreign copy. The machining divots in the receiver could help indicate its origins as well.<br /> (the milled receiver, blonde wood, and the fact that the selector is in semi seem to suggest it is an Arsenal Bulgarian RPK, probably a US-made semi-auto variant)<br /> [[Image:RPK lmg.jpg|thumb|none|400px|RPK light machine gun 7.62x39mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPK.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Somali fires his RPK at the downed Black Hawk.]]<br /> <br /> == RPG-7 ==<br /> <br /> The Russian manufactured [[RPG-7]] features prominently in the film as the weapon which brings down a pair of UH-60 Blackhawks. In one scene inspired by an actual event, a projectile from an RPG-7 strikes Pvt. Kowalewski ([[Brendan Sexton III]]), the driver of one of the deuce and a half trucks in Lt. Colonel Danny McKnight ([[Tom Sizemore]])'s convoy and fails to detonate, impaling the luckless soldier instead.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Rpg-7-1-.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|RPG-7 70mm]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPG7-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|RPG-7s being handed out by the militia.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-RPG7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A rocket propelled grenade being fired at a Black Hawk.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPG7-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A milita member fires the RPG that takes down Super Six One, causing the first Blackhawk crash of the operation.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDRPGhead.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An undetonated RPG warhead impales the deuce and a half driver, Pvt.

A group of Deltas led by Hoot soon kill the gunners and then turn the weapon against the militia, killing several with one shot before destroying the weapon with a thermite grenade.<br /> [[Image:BHD 010.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aidid's militia prepare to fire the SPG-9 Recoilless on the Rangers and Deltas who are holed-up at the first crash site.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 012.jpg|thumb|none|600px|After eliminating the recoilless operators, Hoot and another Delta operator prepare to fire the SPG-9 recoilless rifle on the militia.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD 009.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Hoot ([[Eric Bana]]) fires the recoilless rifle.]]<br /> <br /> ==Cobray CM203 Flare Launcher==<br /> Many of the Rangers' [[M16 rifle series|M16A2s]] are fitted with [[Cobray 37mm Launcher|Cobray CM203 37mm Flare Launchers]], standing in for the [[M203 grenade launcher]].

As the two Delta snipers attempt to secure the second crash site they are forced to draw their M1911A1 pistols as the overwhelming Somali forces close in on them. Delta Force Sgt.

Mainly it is seen in the hands of Maddox in the Humvee. McKnight himself carries his M9 sidearm around as a proper means to defend himself.<br /> <br /> [[Image:BerettaM92FS.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Beretta M92FS 9x19mm.]]<br /> [[Image:BHD-M9-3.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|A Humvee driver, Maddox ([[Michael Roof]]) fires his M9.]]<br /> [[Image:BHDM9.jpg|thumb|none|600px|McKnight is seen armed with his M9 when walking away from a Ranger, blown in half by an RPG.]]<br /> <br /> == Heckler & Koch MP5A3 ==<br /> <br /> Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant ([[Ron Eldard]]), the UH-60 Black Hawk pilot of Super Six-Four, is armed with a [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A3|Heckler & Koch MP5A3]] with a slim handgrip and uses it to defend himself after he's shot down. The MP5 was briefly issued to helicopter crews as a personal defense weapon (PDW), but was discontinued in this role when it was determined its 9x19mm ammo lacked sufficient stopping power against armor-wearing or drug-crazed enemies, as was the case in Somalia. The guns is also briefly used by SFC Randy Shughart before being killed by the overwhelming militia.<br /> In the book and real life, the weapons were actually [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5K|MP5K]]s.

A pistol grip (minus the folding stock) is used in place of the full stock.

A second one can also be purchased, allowing the player to dual wield them.<br /> [[Image:AMT Hardballer - Hitman.jpg|thumb|300px|none|Agent 47's Silverballer (Game Screenshot)]]<br /> [[Image:Hardballer_Longslide.jpg|thumb|300px|none|AMT Hardballer with a Long slide, .45 ACP]]<br /> [[Image:Silverballer.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heavily modified "Silverballer"]]<br /> [[Image:HBM3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|I'm pretty sure the other guy died, while 47 fires his AMT "Silverballer".]]<br /> <br /> == Heckler & Koch USP Compact ==<br /> <br /> The [[H&K USP#Heckler & Koch USP|H&K USP Compact]] appears in the game as the "SLP .40".

The magazine capacity of 12 rounds, however, seems to confirm that the weapon is .40 S&W.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Usp40compact.jpg|thumb|none|280px|[[H&K USP]] Compact, .40 S&W]]<br /> [[Image:SLP40.jpg|thumb|none|400px|The "SLP .40" in first person view]]<br /> <br /> ==Smith & Wesson 686-4==<br /> <br /> The ''[[Smith & Wesson Model 686]] '' appears in the game as the "Snub-Nosed"<br /> It is used by Don Fernando Delgado and actor Rex Stanton's drug-dealing agent in "A Vintage Year" and by the sailors on the steamboat in "Death on the Mississippi".<br /> <br /> [[Image:S&W686Short.jpg|thumb|none|330px|Smith & Wesson Model 686 with 2" barrel, .357 magnum.
