As the movie was filmed entirely using marionettes, all firearms used are purpose-built plastic props. However, the creators seem to have been inspired by real-life firearms used in popular action movies so most weapons used have a good degree of details. For this reason, when a certain gun is described below as e.g. ‘M16’ it should be read ‘inspired by M16’. | |||

Team America: World Police is a 2004 action movie about the elite counter-terrorism organization Team America: World Police. They are tasked to deal with a conspiracy between North Korean leader Kim Jong Il and a group of idealistic American actors to destroy Western civilisation with weapons of mass destruction hidden all over the world.
As the movie was filmed entirely using marionettes, all firearms used are purpose-built plastic props. However, the creators seem to have been inspired by real-life firearms used in popular action movies so most weapons used have a good degree of details. For this reason, when a certain gun is described below as e.g. ‘M16’ it should be read ‘inspired by M16’.
The following weapons were used in the animated film Team America: World Police:
Handguns
Auto-Ordnance M1911A1
Members of Team America use a M1911A1-type pistol with target sights as their secondary weapon. It is also seen handled by “Kim Jong Il” and Spottswoode, the leader of Team America. It is probably an Auto-Ordnance M1911A1 due to the slanted grooves on the slide.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A5
The Heckler & Koch MP5A5 is the main weapon of choice for the American actors during the final shoot-out at the peace conference at Kim Jong Il’s palace.
Heckler & Koch MP5KA4
Gary is armed with a pair of Heckler & Koch MP5KA4’s, mounted in shoulder holsters. Most of the time, he is seen dual-wielding them with deadly efficiency, not bad for somebody who just learned to shoot a few days earlier…
Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW
During the opening scene in Paris, Carson carries a Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW with stainless steel navy suppressor and some kind of scope. It also looks like he has two magazines taped together ‘jungle style’.
Uzi
Several terrorists as well as a few American actors at the Kim Jong Il hosted ‘peace conference’ carry the IMI Uzi during fights with Team America.
Rifles
Blaser R93 Tactical
Lisa carries a Blaser R93 Tactical sniper rifle but she’s never seen firing it. This rifle is equipped with a 10-shot magazine and the distinct muzzle brake of its successor the Blaser R93 LRS2.

Chinese SKS
Several terrorists are seen carrying the Chinese SKS rifle. One of the differences that set it apart from the original Russian model is the spike-bayonet that is clearly seen in below screenshots.
Zastava M76
In the scene at the terrorist hide-out in Egypt, one terrorist is seen with a Zastava M76 on his back. The rifle can be identified by the long barrel and the massive wooden hand guard with three vent holes.
Assault Rifles
AIM
During the opening shoot-out in Paris, one terrorist is seen armed with an AIM assault rifle, easily recognizable by the wooden vertical foregrip under the handguard.
AIMR
An unlucky terrorist during the Paris mission handles an AIMR, recognizable by the stubby front section with shortened barrel plus the front sight being attached to the gas pipe.
AKM
The AKM is seen handled in many scenes by members of all sides, most prominently by guards in Kim Jong Il’s palace and in one notable scene, by Kim Jong Il himself.
AKMS
Throughout the movie, most terrorists carry an AKMS as their weapon of choice. Both the regular version, as well as the version with shortened barrel is seen used.
M16
Gary can be seen training at a shooting range with some kind of hybrid M16 showing a muzzle flash indicating a 3-prong flash hider but closer inspection reveals an A1-style A1 "birdcage" flash hider.
M4A1 with M203 grenade launcher
During the Cairo raid, Joe ropes down from a Team America helicopter with an M4A1 with M203 grenade launcher.
Machine Guns
M249-E2 SAW
Chris can be seen carrying an M249-E2 SAW during the Cairo raid. It has some kind of scope and is fed from a 100-round Beta-C magazine; impossible but cool-looking nevertheless.
GE M134 Minigun
Both the hand held as well as the wing-mounted version of the GE M134 Minigun make an appearance in this movie.
Shotguns
Remington 870 Police
Lisa can be seen carrying a Remington 870 Police during the mission in Paris. The shotgun has a Surefire dedicated forend weaponlight, pistol grip, synthetic stock and a heat shield.
Winchester Model 1912 Riot Gun
During the final assault on Kim Jong Il’s palace, Chris carries a Winchester Model 1912 Riot Gun.
Short barreled side by side shotgun
Gary carries a short barreled side by side shotgun in a holster on his hip, but he is never seen firing it.

Rocket Launchers
RPG-7
Lots of scoped RPG-7’s are seen lying around the terrorist hide-out in Cairo as Gary sneaks in to get information about upcoming attacks.
M136 AT4
During the mission in Paris, Joe uses a recoilless launcher that is based on the M136 AT4 launcher. It is fitted with Hollywood embellishments such as a pistol grip and a magazine with additional rockets.
