'''''Spies Like Us''''' is a 1985 spy comedy film directed by [[John Landis]]. [[Chevy Chase]] and [[Dan Aykroyd]] co-star as hapless US government employees during the time of the Cold War who find themselves recruited by the CIA to unknowingly be decoys for the real spies on a mission to reprogram a Russian ICBM.

=Rifles=
==M16==
When Emmett Fitz-Hume ([[Chevy Chase]]) and Austin Millbarge ([[Dan Aykroyd]]) begin their CIA training, what appear to be US soldiers are seen carrying [[M16A1]] rifles, such as those seen running around the base.  Also, [[M16A1|M16's]] are one of the many rifles used by the Mujahideen.

==Colt XM177==
The guards at the abandoned outdoor theater are seen holding [[M16#Colt_XM177.2FCAR-15.2FCommando_Series|Colt XM177's]].  As was common in several of the films directed by John Landis, the actors portraying guards are in reality several well known movie directors in cameo roles including [[Sam Raimi]], [[Joel Coen]], and [[Martin Brest]].

==AK-47==
True, genuine [[AK-47]]s can be seen in the hands of Soviet soldiers and Border Guards, a rarity for a US production made during the 1980's. Since the scenes for Soviet Tajikistan were filmed in Norway and scenes for Pakistan and Afghanistan were filmed in Morocco, it is quite possible that the production was able to source real Soviet AK-47s from either British and/or European film armourers.

[[Image:SLU 38.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Soviet missileer ([[Vanessa Angel]]) holds her AK.]]


 
==Norinco Type 56==
 
For some scenes, [[Norinco Type 56]] rifles are used in place of AK's.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
==[[M16A1]]==
The United States soldiers seen during Emmett Fitz-Hume ([[Chevy Chase]]) and Austin Millbarge's ([[Dan Aykroyd]]) training are carrying [[M16A1]]'s, most notably in the raised hands of soldiers running in circles in the background.  Also, [[M16A1|M16's]] are one of the many rifles used by the Mujahideen.

==[[M1 Carbine]]==
Several of the Mujahideen are seen wielding [[M1 Carbine]]s.
[[Image:M1-Carbine.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|World War Two Era [[M1 Carbine|M1 Carbine]], with Dark Walnut Stock, 'L' peep sight and no bayonet lug - correct for most of WW2, shown with khaki sling and oiler and a period twin magazine pouch for buttstock]]

==[[AK-47]]/[[Norinco Type 56|Type 56]]==
AK-47's can be seen in the hands of the Soviet soldiers escorting the SS-50 rocket at the beginning of the film.  Oddly enough, they are seen using Chinese [[Norinco Type 56|Type56]]'s at the end of the film. Also, some of the Mujahideen are carrying AK-47's/Type-56's.  (As the film is based around 1985, the Soviets should be using [[AK-74|AK-74's]], but since at this point in time the AK-74 was not found largely outside of the Soviet Union, the older guns are the only other choice.)

Promotional Poster for Spies Like Us (1985)

Spies Like Us is a 1985 spy comedy film directed by John Landis. Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd co-star as hapless US government employees during the time of the Cold War who find themselves recruited by the CIA to unknowingly be decoys for the real spies on a mission to reprogram a Russian ICBM.


The following weapons were used in the film Spies Like Us:


Rifles

M16

When Emmett Fitz-Hume (Chevy Chase) and Austin Millbarge (Dan Aykroyd) begin their CIA training, what appear to be US soldiers are seen carrying M16A1 rifles, such as those seen running around the base. Also, M16's are one of the many rifles used by the Mujahideen.
