	The majority of the Iraqi forces in the film carry [[Vektor R4]]s mocked up to resemble [[AK-47]]s, a common practice for films shot in South Africa. They can be distinguished from genuine AK-47s by their straighter 5.56x45mm magazine, the more slanted bottom edge of the milled receiver and the shape of the lightening cut above the magazine well. They are mocked up as both solid, and folding stock variants.
