	~~== M16 variant w/ Faux M203 Grenade Launcher ==~~		__TOC__
	In promotional material for the film (such as the movie's poster), Paulie Shore can be seen wielding an unidentified M16 variant fitted with the same type of faux M203 grenade launcher seen in ''[[Predator]]'', ''[[Scarface (1983)\|Scarface]]'', and ''[[Heartbreak Ridge]]'', although it is not seen in the actual film.

	Wow, those uniforms look awful. I always thought that the six-color "chocolate chip" Desert Battle Dress uniform was one of the worst-looking designs that we ever adopted, and I sometimes feel sorry for the Iraqi Army personnel who now wear our old surplus DBDs. I'm not sure it's accurate, either, because I'm pretty sure that by the time this movie was made, the DoD had already gone over to the three-color Desert Combat Uniform. -[[User:MT2008\|MT2008]]		Wow, those uniforms look awful.

	::It isn't a pure M16A2 as it has a partial fence lower. My guess is that it is a civvie rifle with a full auto lower from a different gun, similarly to the other sporters. It strikes me as odd though that they are using partial fence lowers, normally they are slab side or A1. Now that I think about it, this is the only thing that I remember actually seeing a partial fence lower in. --[[User:Commando552\|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552\|talk]]) 19:14, 4 April 2013 (EDT)		::It isn't a pure M16A2 as it has a partial fence lower.

			== M16 on movie poster ==
			If you look closely at the grenade launcher's trigger guard, you can see it's long rectangular shape, a shape which is distinctive to the faux launcher used in Predator, Scarface, and Heartbreak Ridge. So I've edited the section at the top of this page to reflect that ID. [[User:Spartan198\|Spartan198]] ([[User talk:Spartan198\|talk]]) 06:17, 6 July 2014 (EDT)

	Actually the actors have it right. The Army (back when it was allowed) ~~has~~ the cuff (camo) folded back over the rolled up portion of the sleeve. The Marines just roll them up, with the inside facing out.		Actually the actors have it right.
