'''''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. | |||

== | ==Uzi Carbine== | ||
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. It is most notably used when Joey Trotta ([[Wil Wheaton]]) knocks out a terrorist and subsequently uses the weapon in an attempt to kill another terrorist, failing as the muzzle rise - very inaccurately depicted - raises his fire to the sky. | |||

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.
The following weapons were used in the film Toy Soldiers:

Handguns
Glock 19
Luis Cali (Andrew Divoff) carries a Glock 19 as his weapon of choice. Along with The Hard Way and New Jack City, this is one of very first appearances of the Glock 19 in a feature film.
Colt Python
Regis School campus guards, King's County Sheriff's deputies, as well as US Border Patrol officers all carry Colt Python revolvers.
Beretta 92SB
Jack Thorpe (Michael Champion), the American terrorist and Luis' second in command, carries a Beretta 92SB as his sidearm, noted by its rounded trigger guard. When Thorpe shows his Beretta to the campus guard when the terrorists first arrive at the school, it has a suppressor mounted. A Special Forces soldier also uses a Beretta 92SB at the end of the film.
Browning Hi-Power
The wounded leader of the FBI Hostage Rescue Team (Max Manwell) gives Dean Edward Parker (Louis Gossett Jr.) his Browning Hi-Power.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch SP89 (Mocked up as MP5K)
Jack Thorpe (Michael Champion) and several other terrorists overrunning the school are armed with Heckler & Koch SP89s mocked up as the Heckler & Koch MP5K. These weapons are also used by FBI HRT operators and US Army Special Forces soldiers as well. Billy Tepper (Sean Astin) is also briefly seen wielding one.
Uzi Carbine
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.

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 Hand Grenade
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.
M230 Chain Gun
M230 Chain Guns 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.
