Toy Soldiers (1991)

Toy Soldiers is a 1991 American action thriller film that focuses on a group of mostly problematic, non-disciplined students who have their prep school taken over by a group of Colombian terrorists. The terrorist leader, Luis Cali (Andrew Divoff) plants explosives throughout the school grounds and threatens to blow it up along with everyone in it if his demands aren't met or the school is assaulted. As the US Army is called in to figure out a way to effectively deal with the situation, the students take it upon themselves to make efforts to re-take the school. In addition to Divoff, the film's cast includes Sean Astin, Louis Gossett Jr., Michael Champion, and Wil Wheaton. The film received assistance from the US Department of Defense, who provided UH-60 Black Hawk and AH-64 Apache helicopters (both new in Army inventory at the time) for the production.

+One of the terrorists is seen multiple times holding an [[Uzi Carbine]], the civilian model of the [[Uzi]], fitted with a 16-inch barrel with a barrel shroud. It seems the armorers converted it to full-auto fire for the film.

-One of the terrorists uses a [[AK-47|Norinco Type 56-1]], as noted by its hooded front sight and under-folding stock. It is fitted with an AKM style muzzle break, making it similiar to the gun Danny Trejo used in [[Heat]], meaning it was a semi-auto chinese import, converted to full-auto fire for the film and fitted with the slanted muzzle by the gun's importer.

+==Iver Johnson AMAC-1500==
+The FBI team has two snipers armed with what appear to be [[Iver Johnson AMAC-1500]] sniper rifles. They have heavy muzzle brakes and fluted barrels. One appears to be an older spec than the other based on the different muzzle brakes.

+=Machine Guns=
+==Browning M2HB==
+The belltower guards set up a [[Browning M2HB]] to watch the front gate. They notably use it to disable an approaching sheriff's police car. M2HBs are also seen set up at other positions throughout the school.

-== AMAC-1500 Sniper Rifle ==
+==Browning M1919A4==
+A [[Browning M1919A4]] is seen mounted on a Colombian Army jeep during the opening sequence in Colombia.
+[[Image:BrowningM37MG.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Browning M37 vehicle mounted machine gun (modernized model of the M1919A4) - .30-06 Springfield]]
+[[Image:ToysoldiersM2-1919.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Browning .30 cal mounted on a Colombian Army jeep.]]
-The infiltration unit has two snipers armed with what looks like Iver Johnson [[AMAC-1500 sniper rifle]]s. They have heavy muzzle brakes and fluted barrels. One appears to be an older spec than the other based on the different muzzle brakes.
+==RPD==
+A Colombian soldier is briefly seen using an [[RPD]].

+=Other=
-[[Image:ToysoldiersSniperifles.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Two infiltration snipers take out the roof guards with Iver Johnson AMAC-1500s.]]
+==M72 LAW==
+The belltower guard uses an [[M72 LAW]] anti-tank rocket launcher to blow up sheriff's police car. Several additional LAWs are seen in the film. Jack Thorpe ([[Michael Champion]]) notably attempts to use one on the incoming UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters. Throughout the film, several rockets are seen next to the launchers, suggesting that the LAW can be reloaded, but in reality, it is a single-use weapon.
-==M67 "Baseball" Grenade==
+[[Image:M72A2LAW.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M72A2 LAW - 66mm]]
-One of the roof guards is still partially alive after being shot by the snipers, and throws an [[M67 hand grenade|M67 "Baseball" grenade]] down at the infiltration unit and kills all but the leader, who is wounded in the leg.
+[[Image:ToysoldiersM72LAW-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The belltower guard takes out the police car with the LAW. Note how it is filled with ignition powder for the fake "firing" effect.]]

+[[Image:ToysoldiersM72LAW-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Jack Thorpe ([[Michael Champion]]) readies a LAW. The rocket seen in the tube appears to be a mockup.]]
-==M60E2==
-The helicopter dropping the infiltration members into the school has a door-mounted [[M60|M60E2]] or M60D machine gun.
-[[Image:M60d.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M60D - 7.62x51mm.]]
-[[Image:ToysoldiersM60E2-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|An M60E2 is seen mounted on the infiltration helo.]]
-[[Image:ToysoldiersM60E2-2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The door gunner fires his M60E2 at terrorists on the grounds.]]
-==M230 Chain-Gun==
+==M67 Hand Grenade==
-[[M230 Chain Gun|M230 30mm Chain-Guns]] are mounted on Apache gunships providing cover for the infiltrator Black Hawks during the assault on the school. One of the Apaches fires it's M230 at Thorpe ([[Michael Champion]]) before he can fire a M72 LAW rocket.
+Still partially alive after being shot by the snipers, one of the roof guards' last act is to drop an [[M67 hand grenade]] down on the FBI team.
-[[Image:Hughes-M230-Chain-Gun3.jpg‎|thumb|none|450px|Hughes/Alliant Techsystems M230 30mm Chain Gun]]
+[[Image:M67.jpg|thumb|none|180px|M67 High-Explosive Fragmentation Hand Grenade.]]
+[[Image:ToysoldiersM67baseball.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The roof guard drops the M67 hand grenade.]]
-==Browning Hi-Power==
+==M230 Chain Gun==
-The wounded infiltration unit leader give Dean Parker ([[Louis Gossett Jr.]]) his [[Browning Hi-Power]] sidearm when he cannot go into the building. Parker smashes through a window, alerting Luis who is holding Billy hostage. He turns around and shoots Parker in the arm, but leaves himself undefended, and is shot by the infiltration member.
+[[M230 Chain Gun]]s are mounted on the AH-64 Apache gunships that provide cover for the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters during the assault on the school. It appears that when the Apache is actually seen firing its M230 (notably at Thorpe), a prop mockup that emits acetylene flame is used.
