1968 Tunnel Rats (2008)

1968 Tunnel Rats is a 2008 Vietnam War film directed by infamous Uwe Boll. As typical for Uwe Boll films, there is a lot to criticize, though the film itself has mixed reviews (some reviewers actually think Boll is getting better). It appears that not a lot of thought was put into accurately portraying Vietnam War-era uniforms and gear for the film. Being filmed in South Africa (standing in for Vietnam), US soldiers wear green South African cotton uniforms (as seen in Red Scorpion in the guise of Russian and Cuban soldiers), their shoulder patches are bright and not subdued (subdued insignia was common by 1968) and the helmet covers are Woodland BDU, not the M59 "Vine Leaf / USMC reversible" pattern which is correct for Vietnam.

The following weapons were used in the film 1968 Tunnel Rats:

Rifles

Colt AR-15 Sporter Carbine

Sgt. Mike Heaney (Brad Schmidt) and Cpl. Dan Green (Wilson Bethel) carry Colt AR-15 Sporter Carbines as their weapons.

-[[1968 Tunnel Rats]] is the latest film directed by 'infamous director' Uwe Boll.  The film was originally titled '''Tunnel Rats'''.  The film was screened at film festivals in Canada and Germany and had a limited theatrical run in Los Angeles at the Downtown Independent Theatre on December 20th, 2008.  The 'official' release date for the film in the U.S. was supposed to be March 13th, 2009, however that release date got pushed back, despite being released elsewhere in the world on DVD.  Now the U.S. DVD will be available for wide release on Jun 30, 2009.
-Like usual, there is a lot to criticize in the film, though the film itself has mixed reviews (some reviewers actually think Boll is getting better(!))  But there was not a lot of thought put into the costuming and gear for the film.  The Soldiers wear modern BDUs in O.D., their shoulder patches are bright and not subdued (subdued insignia was common by 1968) and the helmet covers are Woodland BDU, not the Nam leaf pattern which is correct for Vietnam.

Colt still insisted on using the SP1 style lower receiver so any rifle that looks like this but has the ribbing around the magazine release button is not a Colt rifle. Variants of this rifle have both the round and tear drop forward assist buttons, however, most of the early years of production had the tear drop button, like this rifle in the image.]]

-::Hey Gunmaster45.  Any idea what shotgun this is?
-:::I think it is a Winchester 1200 with a standard magazine tube. The action is blued so it's hard to make the shape out exactly but it appears to match a 1200's type. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
-::::What about the Trigger guard? ~ [[user:Revolver|Revolver]]
-:::::Hmmm, it is a little too thick. I'll try to figure this out. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

+The original [[M16 rifle series|M16 rifles]] are carried by Pvt. Terence Verano (Rocky Marquette) and other US soldiers during the chopper disembarkation at the beginning of the film. As with the other rifles in the film, M16s can be seen on occasion with anachronistic 30-round magazines.
+[[Image:M16-SP1.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Original M16 - 5.56x45mm - the first model, firing in a 20-round magazine, adopted in large numbers by the U.S. Air Force in Vietnam. This has the original 3-prong flash-hider. It would later be replaced by the upgraded M16A1.]]

+Most of the US soldiers carry the updated [[M16 rifle series|M16A1]] as well as the earlier variant [[M16 rifle series|XM16E1]] rifles, including Lt. Vic Hollowborn ([[Michael Paré]]), Pvt. Samuel Graybridge (Brandon Fobbs), Pvt. Terence Verano (Rocky Marquette), Pvt. Jim Lidford ([[Nate Parker]]) and Pvt. Bob Miller (Jeffrey Christopher Todd).
+[[Image:M16A1.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M16A1 with 20-round magazine - 5.56x45mm.

+[[Image:M16A1wA2Handguards.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M16A1 with A2 style handguards - 5.56x45mm. Putting the distinctive A2 handguards on the older rifle was a method used by Film/TV armorers to simulate A2 rifles when M16A1s were the only ones available. The same thing has been done vice-versa, using M16A2s with A1 handguards for Vietnam War B films.]]

 ==M16A2==
+During the scene where a captured NVA soldier is hung, a US soldier can be seen with an anachronistic [[M16A2]] rifle, identified by the heavy barrel. The M16A2 did not enter U.S. Army service until 1989.

+NVA soldiers use what appear to be at first glance [[AK-47]] rifles. However, based on their 5.56mm magazines and angled Valmet-style receiver design, these rifles are actually [[Galil#Vektor R5|Vektor R5 rifles]] modified to resemble Kalashnikovs. Most of the NLF soldiers, including Vo Mai (Jane Le), Huy Tran (Scott Ly) and Nguyen Van Chien (John Wynn) use R5s modified to look like the AK-47s. Similar weapons have appeared in other films made in South Africa, such as ''[[District 9]]'', ''[[Dangerous Ground]]'' or ''[[Strike Back|Chris Ryan's Strike Back]]''.

+==M60==
+The [[M60 machine gun]] is used by Pvt. Jim Lidford ([[Nate Parker]]) and Pvt. Dean Garraty (Adrian Collins). A US soldier also uses one during the NVA attack on the base camp. Note that every operator fires it one-handed - a difficult feat.
