This is the exact same weapon that Independent Studio Services originally built for use by [[Tyrese Gibson]] in ''[[Transformers (2007)\|Transformers]]'' (although the camouflage paintjob had worn off during shooting on the earlier film and had to be re-applied for ''Rambo'').

	Diaz ([[Reynaldo A. Gallegos]]) carries a [[FN_FAL#DSA_SA58_OSW\|DSA SA58 OSW]] short FAL Carbine with a folding stock. His model has the Type III Metric receiver (with minimal machining cuts). The DSA SA58 OSW, is offered with the Type I receiver (more cuts, lighter weight, but not as strong). Thus it is suspected that the SA58 OSW in the film is a build up of a previous FAL Type III receiver with DSA OSW parts.		US Army Green Beret Diaz ([[Reynaldo A.

	This .50 BMG rifle designed by Barrett Firearms is a Close Quarters Combat model of the [[Barrett M82\|M82A1M/M82A3]], easily distinguished by the short barrel. It is used by the ~~SAS~~-trained sniper 'School Boy' ([[Matthew Marsden]]) throughout the film. During the night raid during the rainstorm, the M82CQ has an AN/PEQ-2A mounted on the scope, and is seen as fully sound suppressed, though a .50 caliber weapon (or any supersonic round, including the 5.56x45mm) can only be partially suppressed. It strangely lacks the fluting which is present on the barrels of almost all M82 variants, however.

	'''''Rambo''''' is the fourth installment in the [[John Rambo]] film saga that marks the return of the character that hadn't been seen on film since 1988's ''[[Rambo III]]''. [[Sylvester Stallone]] returns as John Rambo, the former Green Beret and Vietnam veteran who ~~in present day works~~ as a boat captain in Thailand and takes a job transporting missionaries on a medical aid mission. When the missionaries are captured by Burmese Junta soldiers, Rambo joins a group of mercenaries on a rescue mission. The 2008 sequel also marked the only Rambo film to be both written and directed by Stallone. After over a decade, Stallone would return as Rambo in 2019 in perhaps the final film in the series, ''[[Rambo: Last Blood]]''.
