==M16A2==
'''''Stealth''''' is a 2005 action film directed by [[Rob Cohen]] (''[[The Fast and the Furious]]'', ''[[XXX|xXx]]'') and distributed by Columbia Pictures. The film stars [[Josh Lucas]], [[Jessica Biel]], and [[Jamie Foxx]] as a trio of elite US Navy pilots flying super-advanced F/A-37 Talon fighter jets in a series of missions aimed at combating global terrorism. When an even more advanced AI-controlled fighter called EDI (voiced by [[Wentworth Miller]]) begins flying with their team, complications arise as EDI starts to become self-aware.


Standard weapon of US military personnel, most notably the US Marines on the Naval Vessels.

The [[Beretta 92FS]] is the standard sidearm of US military personnel, standing in for the military M9.


==Norinco Type 56==
[[Image:BerettaM92FS.jpg|thumb|300px|none|Beretta 92FS - 9x19mm]]
* The Chinese AK/AKM variant, the Type 56 (and 56-1 the folding stock version) are the most commonly seen AK47/AKM rifle in movies and television (at least those done by U.S. Production companies).  The Type 56 (fullstock) version is commonly seen in the movie, usually in the hands of terrorists of many different stripes.  Terrorist guards from several organizations are seen wielding the weapon in Rangoon, Islamic Extremists in a mountain fortress in Tajikistan, and North Korean Soldiers.

==Heckler & Koch PDW (MP7 Prototype)==
 
A prototype [[Heckler & Koch MP7]], the Heckler & Koch PDW (specifically the 2nd prototype variant), is carried and used by Lieutenant Kara Wade ([[Jessica Biel]]) when she is shot down over North Korean Territory. It seems to be the proposed personal defense weapon (PDW) for F/A-37 Talon aircraft pilots in the film. Visible differences between the prototype and final version include the arrangement of the three vent holes in the handguard (a straight line rather than a staggered), a half-length rather than full-length top rail, and a smooth pistol grip.  


==AK-47==
This is the first ever appearance of the Heckler & Koch MP7 in a motion picture.  
* In addition to the many Norinco Type 56 Chinese AK rifles, terrorists are also seen wielding what looks like original milled receiver AK-47 rifles with original front sights (not the hooded Type 56 sights).  However, being how 'new' they look, they can be the third pattern AK-47 "Legend Series" rifles imported by Poly Technologies, Inc, between 1988-1989.  Those were high end identical clones of the original AK-47 rifles but very few were imported.

:This movie was filmed mostly in Australia, and weapons were supplied by Aussie armorers. John Bowring (who also worked on ''[[The Matrix]]'') was lead armorer on ''Stealth''. I have no idea if the Legend series were ever exported for civilian/cinema use to Australia.
==Sterling L2A3==
::Yes they were.  Though us lowly Americans only got a few before the iron curtain of the BATF shut down imports, Poly Technologies still exported these awesome rifles to other countries who (at the time) could own semi automatic rifles (which were then legally converted for the movie industries) or full auto rifles if their government approved the paperwork.  But since America was the single largest customer of military style arms for the civilian or Police market, all of the Chinese companies started making the cheapest crappy thumbhole post ban rifles (like the MAK-90s or the NHM-91s) and didn't bother trying to match the craftsmanship of their earlier guns.  I guess they anticipated (correctly) that the window for sales was closing and they tried to make as much $$ as they could.


::Regarding gun ownership in Australia, after April 28th, 1996 when a psycho path killed a bunch of Australians in the Port Arthur massacre,  all semiautomatic rifles & Shotguns were banned and melted down.  I assumed (like in equally draconian Great Britain) that the movie armorers avoided the fate of the regular gun owners of their own country, and managed to keep their guns.
A [[Sterling SMG|Sterling L2A3]] can be seen in the Alaskan base's armory.


:::Come to think of it, the furniture and finish definitely resemble the PT Legend AKs I've seen with my own eyes. Of course, we have established already that my eyes can fool me!
[[Image:SterlingSMG.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Sterling L2A3 (Mk.4) - 9x19mm]]
::::PT did classic Chinese Pig Sticker Milled Receiver Type 56s as well but their classic Soviet Style AK was the bomb!  I would bet that Australian Armories had these babies in stock since original AK47s sadly to say would not be minty new....
[[Image:Stealth LeaderMK5a.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|A Sterling L2A3 can be seen lying on the table near the rifle racks.]]
:::::Oh, I've heard great things about the Legends, though I prefer stamped AKs myself (mine is stamped). The thing is...what do you make of the milled-receiver AKs in ''[[Lord of War]]'' and ''[[Blood Diamond]]''? The one in ''[[Lord of War]]'' even has Cyrillic markings on the receiver near the selector, plus it looks brand-new. Custom-built, like the ones Mike Papac built for ''[[We Were Soldiers]]''?


=Assault & Battle Rifles=


[[Image:PolyTechLegendAK47.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Check out this beauty, a Poly Technologies Legend AK with original Russian Style front sights (the slant compensator is wrong but easily removed) - 7.62x39mm]]
==Norinco Type 56 / Type 56/1==


==Long Barreled AK Variant==
The Chinese AK-47/AKM variant, the [[Norinco Type 56]] (and 56-1, the folding stock version) are the most commonly seen AK variants in film and television (at least those done by U.S. Production companies). The Type 56 (full stock) version is commonly seen in the movie, usually in the hands of terrorists of many different stripes. Terrorist guards from several organizations are seen wielding the weapon in Rangoon, Islamic extremists in a mountain fortress in Tajikistan, and North Korean soldiers.
* Tajikistan terrorists are seen using an unusual hybrid type of AK-47 rifle. It has an underfolding stock and a long barrel but no bipod.


:I've seen AKs that look a lot like that in several episodes of ''The X-Files'', and I'm pretty sure they had Chinese front sights. If I find screencaps, I'll it to you for comparison purposes.

:: With an under folder stock (?!?!) That I gotta see.  I have shots of the various RPK Chinese clones that have wooden club foot stocks, but an underfolder?!?!?  Have we discovered a hither to unknown Australian AK variant? :)
==AK-47==


[[Image:Stealth LongAKa.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Tajikistan terrorists uses an unusual Long barreled AK-47 variant - 7.62x39mm]]
In addition to the many Chinese Type 56 rifles, terrorists are also seen wielding what looks like original milled receiver [[AK-47]] rifles with original front sights (not the hooded Type 56 sights). However, given how 'new' they look, they may be the third pattern AK-47 "Legend Series" rifles imported by Poly Technologies Inc. between 1988 and 1989. These were high-end identical clones of the original AK-47 rifles, but very few were imported.


==Sa vz 58==
[[Image:AK47-PolyTechLegend.jpg|thumb|450px|none|Poly Technologies AK-47 - 7.62x39mm. This is the commercial clone of the original Type III AK-47 and is the most used in American films and shows when showing the milled receiver AK-47]]

==SKS Rifle==
==Norinco Type 56-1 Target==
* Carried by Tajikistan terrorists, they appear to be the Russian built SKS rifles with laminated stocks and full blade bayonets.

[[Image:Stealth SKSa.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Tajikistan terrorists run past with SKS-45 Russian Rifles - 7.62x39mm]]


==Heckler & Koch MP7==
Tajikistani terrorists are seen using a long barreled [[Norinco Type 56-1]] 'Target' variant. It has an underfolding stock and a long barrel but no bipod.
* Carried and used by Lt. Kara Wade ([[Jessica Biel]]) when she is shot down over North Korean Territory.


:I don't think that's a production MP7. It's actually the PDW, the prototype version of the MP7. You can tell if you look closely above the forward grip; it has three slits that run in a straight line, rather than three in a "V"-shaped formation. It's also missing the thicker butt cap on the stock. John Bowring told MadOgre that he got his hands on some prototype PDWs which he wanted to use for the two Matrix sequels, but Rock Galotti chose Micro Uzis instead for the scenes filmed in America. Maybe Bowring decided to use the PDWs for this film instead?

==Colt M733==
The [[Sa vz. 58]] is carried by Tajikistani terrorists at the mountain fortress.
* Though the official Colt 733 was 11.5" we see 10" M16 short carbines, in the hands of covert ops thugs in Alaska.


:It's been three years since I saw this movie, but I think I remember the weapons in this scene being the 9mm Colt subguns (RO635 or whatever they're called). Do you have a screencap showing the mags in better detail?
[[Image:800px-Sa 58-JH01.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Sa vz. 58 - 7.62x39mm]]
:: I don't right now, but I was wondering the same thing so I double checked the sequence several times and though the scene is dark and blurry, those were definitely 5.56 magazines.  
[[Image:Stealth VZ58a.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Tajikistani terrorists also carry Sa vz. 58 rifles.]]
:::Yeah, I guess my memory could have failed me. I only saw this film in glimpses back when I was working a summer job at a movie theater, but I remember seeing that scene on the big screen and thinking they were Colt 9mm subguns. My eyes must REALLY suck.

==Zastava M70AB2==
* A curious thing is that all the North Korean Troops carry the Yugo Zastava M70AB2 AK rifle (with a flashlight taped to the front hand guard).

== Steyr AUG==
== Austeyr F88 ==
* A Black Steyr AUG is held by a black ops guard, Gannon tell him to set it on the ground.  When Gannon is ambushed, the guard picks it up again, but is shot by Gannon. Steyr AUG rifles can also be seen in the Alaska Base Armory.

==Colt M4 Carbine==
One of the Black Ops thugs ambushed by Gannon in the hangar has a [[Steyr_AUG#F88_Austeyr|F88 Austeyr]] assault rifle, which he sets on the ground at Gannon's order, later briefly retrieving it during the shootout that follows. Austeyr F88 rifles can also be seen in the Alaskan base's hidden armory as other Black Ops thugs arm up to surround EDI's hangar.
* An M4 Carbine is used by a guard to ambush Gannon.  Also M4s are seen in the Alaska Base armory against the wall and being handed out to guys sent to kill Gannon.

==Heckler & Koch AG36==


Mounted under Lieutenant Ben Gannon ([[Josh Lucas]])'s [[Heckler & Koch G36K]] is a [[Heckler & Koch AG36 Grenade Launcher]]. This is one of the earliest appearances of this grenade launcher in a film. It is only fired once during the movie; for some reason, a sound like a shotgun's pump being operated is foleyed in as Gannon prepares to do so, despite that he is simply pointing the weapon rather than loading it.

==Oerlikon 20mm Cannon==


At the mountain fortress, there are several gunners who are manning World War Two vintage [[Oerlikon 20mm Cannon]]s.

==M61 Vulcan==


[[M61 Vulcan]] cannons are presumably mounted on the various US fighters seen during the movie, but are also seen clearly; several appear in the introduction in M167 Vulcan Air Defence System (VADS) towed mountings, while others are visible in Phalanx installations on the US carrier, nominally USS ''Abraham Lincoln''. See trivia below.

==Bofors 40mm==


During the introductory sequence, the fictional F/A-37 "Talon" fighter piloted by Lieutenant Kara Wade ([[Jessica Biel]]) is fired on by antiaircraft guns, including a [[Bofors 40mm]] gun in a single mount.

=Trivia=


==Carriers==


While the carrier in ''Stealth'' is nominally the USS ''Abraham Lincoln'', there are actually ''three'' carriers in the movie; as well as the correct one, USS ''Nimitz'' and USS ''Carl Vinson'' are shown at various times during the movie.


[[Image:Stealth-Lincoln.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Captain George Cummings ([[Sam Shepard]]) and Captain Dick Marshfield ([[Joe Morton]]) talk as the carrier crew conduct a debris check of the deck. This is the ''Abraham Lincoln'' (CVN-72).]]

==F/A-37==


At least one full-scale 53-foot mockup of the Talon fighter was created for filming carrier deck scenes. Photographs of this fake aircraft on the deck of the ''Abraham Lincoln'' were circulated online with claims that the F/A-37 was a new top-secret US fighter undergoing trials, despite several featuring actress Jessica Biel sitting in the cockpit. All footage of the Talons in the air is CGI.

Stealth is a 2005 action film directed by Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious, xXx) and distributed by Columbia Pictures. The film stars Josh Lucas, Jessica Biel, and Jamie Foxx as a trio of elite US Navy pilots flying super-advanced F/A-37 Talon fighter jets in a series of missions aimed at combating global terrorism. When an even more advanced AI-controlled fighter called EDI (voiced by Wentworth Miller) begins flying with their team, complications arise as EDI starts to become self-aware.


The following weapons were used in the film Stealth:


Handguns

Beretta 92FS

The Beretta 92FS is the standard sidearm of US military personnel, standing in for the military M9.

Heckler & Koch PDW (MP7 Prototype)

A prototype Heckler & Koch MP7, the Heckler & Koch PDW (specifically the 2nd prototype variant), is carried and used by Lieutenant Kara Wade (Jessica Biel) when she is shot down over North Korean Territory. It seems to be the proposed personal defense weapon (PDW) for F/A-37 Talon aircraft pilots in the film. Visible differences between the prototype and final version include the arrangement of the three vent holes in the handguard (a straight line rather than a staggered), a half-length rather than full-length top rail, and a smooth pistol grip.

This is the first ever appearance of the Heckler & Koch MP7 in a motion picture.

Assault & Battle Rifles

Norinco Type 56 / Type 56/1

The Chinese AK-47/AKM variant, the Norinco Type 56 (and 56-1, the folding stock version) are the most commonly seen AK variants in film and television (at least those done by U.S. Production companies). The Type 56 (full stock) version is commonly seen in the movie, usually in the hands of terrorists of many different stripes. Terrorist guards from several organizations are seen wielding the weapon in Rangoon, Islamic extremists in a mountain fortress in Tajikistan, and North Korean soldiers.

AK-47

In addition to the many Chinese Type 56 rifles, terrorists are also seen wielding what looks like original milled receiver AK-47 rifles with original front sights (not the hooded Type 56 sights). However, given how 'new' they look, they may be the third pattern AK-47 "Legend Series" rifles imported by Poly Technologies Inc. between 1988 and 1989. These were high-end identical clones of the original AK-47 rifles, but very few were imported.
