Apocalypse Now (1979)

Apocalypse Now Redux (2001)

Apocalypse Now is the 1979 Vietnam War epic directed by Francis Ford Coppola. The screenplay was co-written by Coppola and John Milius and was based on the Joseph Conrad novel Heart of Darkness. The film stars Martin Sheen as Captain Benjamin Willard , a Special Forces officer sent on a mission upriver to terminate Walter E. Kurtz (Marlon Brando), a rogue American colonel who is waging an unsanctioned war against the enemy with his own army. Coppola encountered several production problems while making the film, much of which was documented in the acclaimed 1991 documentary Hearts of Darkness. Coppola would release two more versions of the film: an extended cut under the title Apocalypse Now Redux and then in 2019, another version dubbed Apocalypse Now: The Final Cut.

The following weapons were used in the film Apocalypse Now:

-An M134 minigun is seen mounted on one of the UH-1 choppers during the famous raid scene. Its possible this weapon is a prop as the M134 was a new weapon at the time.  It is more likely that the M134 was simply what was mounted in the helicopter by the *Laos Army, who loaned all the helicopters used to film the scene.  The M134 would have been unlikely to have been deployed at the time and place of the setting.

-sorry that´s not true, in part the Us army used the  minigun since 1964 (was designed one year before)it was used  on cobras and loaches as main weapons, the fake on the movie it´s the mounting, no miniguns was installed such way (in the doorgunner post),but it was installed just in the center of

+==M16A1==
+[[M16A1]] rifles fitted with 30-round "curved" magazines are used by various characters throughout the film. The 30-round magazines would technically not be anachronistic (since the film takes place in 1969), but would not be as prevalent as seen in the film.

+Lieutenant Colonel Kilgore ([[Robert Duvall]]) is seen briefly holding an [[M16_rifle_series#M16_Rifle|M16 (SP1)]] rifle noted by its "slickside" upper receiver (lacking a forward assist) after the battle at Vihn Din Drop. The gun notably has an A1-style lower receiver, as evident by the fencing around the magazine, meaning this is likely a "franken-gun". The combination of a slickside upper receiver and a full fence A1 lower receiver is correct for USAF issued version of the M16, the Colt Model 604 (as the movie is set in 1969 Colt would have started producing Model 604s with the full fence lower used in the M16A1) although its use by an Army officer is inaccurate.

+==Norinco Type 56==
+NVA are seen using [[Norinco Type 56]] assault rifles throughout the film, and they are also seen in the hands of Kurtz's men. It is noteworthy that this film was released in 1979 and took nearly three years to complete (thus photography started in 1976). During the 1970s, the Norinco Type 56 were not being imported into the U.S., and none were in U.S. Armorer inventories. The only reason Coppola's film had them was because they were supplied by Filipino armorers in Luzon.

+An [[M60 machine gun]] is seen carried by one of LTC Kilgore's ([[Robert Duvall]]) soldiers that rides in the helicopter with Chef and Clean. Clean ([[Laurence Fishburne]]) is the M60 gunner on the Navy PBR. Chef ([[Frederic Forrest]]) is seen firing the M60 briefly while taking incoming arrows from natives, but switches to the single mounted M2. During the same sequence, Chief Phillips ([[Albert Hall]]) also handles the M60, although he had just been seen handling an M16A1.
