	CIA operator Lifer ([[Andy Wood]]) pulls out a [[SIG-Sauer P226]] pistol and holds it to Colonel Trautman ([[Richard Crenna]]) when he tries to stop the chopper from leaving Rambo. It is noted as a P226 by its double stack creases on the frame. The P226 was a brand-new pistol on the ~~American~~ firearms market in 1984-85, when the film was made, so it is likely that ''Rambo: First Blood Part II'' is the very first movie to feature this gun (it was previously stated on IMFDb's ''[[RoboCop]]'' page that ''RoboCop'' was likely the first movie to feature a P226). It should also be noted that the P226 was competing for the spot as the official handgun of the US ~~Military~~ (the whole reason it was designed). Although it lost the spot, it caught on with many government agencies and is still used by some some units in the army today, making this a relatively accurate appearance.

	The [[M60E3]] is the main weapon wielded by John Rambo ([[Sylvester Stallone]]) in the film. It is first seen being fired by a Soviet door gunner after their UH-1 dropped napalm on the waterfall where Rambo was fleeing. When using the machine gun, Rambo wraps the ammo belt around his left forearm in order to ensure a proper feed. When Rambo lands the chopper at the CIA base, he picks up the [[M60E3]] machine gun from the chopper door and empties it in the command center to destroy all the high tech equipment and scare Marshall Murdock ([[Charles Napier]]). The use of the E3 model is peculiar because it was not introduced until the ~~1980's~~, making it unlikely that this machine gun was a holdover from the Vietnam War. A notable continuity goof is that the gun has a full-length barrel when first seen, but has a cut-down barrel when Rambo wields it.
