== M16A4 Rifle ==


The first and most frequently-seen weapon in the film, the [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2 rifle]] appears as the main weapon of U.S. Army soldiers in the film, including Specialist Tommy Yates ([[Brian Presley]]).
Sergeant First Class Duhon can be seen armed with an [[M16 rifle series#M16A4 Rifle|M16A4 rifle]] fitted with an EOTech red dot sight. Since the weapon is not seen fired, it is also possible that this weapon is an AR-15 A2 Target, a flattop version of the AR-15 A2 which was introduced by Colt as far back as 1991, long before the M16A4 entered US military service.

In addition to the M16A2's mentioned above, Sergeant First Class Duhon can also be seen armed with an [[M16 rifle series#M16A4 Rifle|M16A4 rifle]], his fitted with an EOTech red dot sight.
As the protagonists' convoy is entering the city, they pass two soldiers searching and questioning an Iraqi woman. The soldiers are armed with short-barreled [[M16]] carbines which may be either the [[M16 rifle series#Colt Carbine/Model 653/Model 727/Model 733|Colt Model 733]]s or [[M16 rifle series#Colt Model 933|Model 933]]s depending on whether the carry handles are detachable or not (they aren't shown closely enough to be certain).

One of the soldiers, Specialist Jamal Aiken ([[Curtis James "50 Cent" Jackson III]]), carries a [[M16 rifle series#Colt Carbine/Model 653/Model 727/Model 733|Colt Model 727]] as his main weapon, with a Trijicon RX-01 red dot sight mounted on the carry handle and a Vortex-style muzzle brake. He also appears to have an M203 leaf sight mounted on the handguard, despite not having an M203 on his weapon. While clearing a house during a firefight with Iraqi insurgents, Aiken accidentally kills an unarmed woman who stepped out in front of him, mistaking her for an enemy in the tight confines, the incident haunting him throughout the film.

When talking to his boss about having had his civilian job at a local gun store given to someone else while he was in Iraq, Yates picks up and inspects a [[M16 rifle series#Colt Match Target|Colt Match Target]] rifle. The Match Target is the "post-ban" version of the [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|AR-15 A2]] rifle (itself a semi-automatic copy of the M16A2 that Yates used in Iraq), and was sold during the era of the Assault Weapons Ban (1994-2004). It differs from the AR-15 A2 in that it lacks either a bayonet lug or flash hider.

== M4A1/M203 Grenade Launcher ==
== M4A1/M203 Grenade Launcher ==


Private Jordan Owens ([[Chad Michael Murray]]) can be seen carrying an [[M16 rifle series#M4/M4A1 Carbine|M4A1 carbine]] fitted with an [[M203 grenade launcher]] as his main weapon in Iraq, using it up until he's killed by an insurgent.

== M249 SAW Paratrooper ==
==Rubber Colt Model 733/M203==


In addition to his M16A2, Yates is also seen using an [[FN Minimi#M249-E1 / M249-E2 / M249 Paratrooper SAW|M249 SAW Paratrooper]] when riding as a gunner on one of the humvees in the convoy, with a 200-round woodland camo cloth ammo bag. He can be seen with it again when riding on another convoy at the end of the film.
When Private Owens is shot and killed by an Iraqi insurgent, his M4A1/M203 transforms into an obvious '''rubber''' [[M16 rifle series#Colt Carbine/Model 653/Model 727/Model 733|Colt Model 733]] with what seems to be a fake M203 made out of PVC pipe that is tied to the barrel. The rubber weapon is being used because it's getting dropped, but apparently, the movie's armorer didn't have any rubber M4s in inventory.

== Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun ==
== Remington 700PSS Sniper Rifle ==


In addition to the Paratrooper SAWs mentioned above, some of the humvees in the convoy are also armed with [[Browning M2|Browning M2HB heavy machine guns]] mounted on the roof, though in a rather odd mounting, nearly flush with the top of the vehicle.
During the hostage standoff, a SWAT sniper is seen armed with a [[Remington Model 700#Remington 700PSS/700|Remington 700PSS sniper rifle]] with a camouflage paint scheme, Harris bipod, and a pouch of some kind on the side of the stock.

== M136 AT4 ==
== M1 Garand ==


During the ambush on the convoy, one soldier uses an [[M136 AT4]] to take out an insurgent firing on the soldiers from an upper story window, though is shown holding the weapon backwards.
During Pvt. Owens' funeral, the honor guard can be seen firing a gun salute using [[M1 Garand]] rifles.

== Beretta 92FS ==
== Norinco Type 56 ==


There are several appearances of the [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta 92F/FS|Beretta 92FS]] in the film, first seen in the hands of Lt. Colonel William "Will" Marsh ([[Samuel L. Jackson]]) during the convoy ambush, then in the hands of an enraged and grief-stricken soldier who threatens to shoot Col. Marsh if he doesn't treat his injured friend when the base is under insurgent mortar attack.
While pursuing insurgents into a graveyard, one of the insurgents manages to sneak up behind Pvt. Owens, shooting him in the back of the neck with a [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Norinco Type 56]] fitted with an [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]]-style slant compensator.

== FPK/PSL Sniper Rifle ==
== Romanian AK Draco Carbine ==


When the ambush on the convoy starts, the first shot is fired by an insurgent using an [[FPK / PSL Sniper Rifle|FPK/PSL sniper rifle]], killing an Iraqi Army soldier with a shot to the neck.
Most of the insurgents involved in the convoy ambush can be seen armed with [[AIMR|Romanian AK Draco Carbine]]s fitted with side-folding wire frame stocks taken from the full-size Romanian [[AK-47#AIM/AIMS|AIMS]] assault rifle. These appear to be some of the same guns seen in ''[[Ronin]]'' (which had the same armorers as this movie).

== RGD-5 Hand Grenade ==
== PSL Sniper Rifle ==


When clearing a building during the ambush, Yates kills an insurgent who drops a live [[RGD-5 hand grenade]], though Yates and the other soldiers with him manage to get clear before the grenade detonates.
When the ambush on the convoy starts, the first shot is fired by an insurgent using a [[PSL Sniper Rifle]], killing an Iraqi Army soldier with a shot to the neck.

== Norinco Type 56 ==
=Machine Guns=
== FN Minimi Paratrooper ==


While persuing insurgents into a graveyard, one of the insurgents manages to sneak up behind Pvt. Owens, shooting him in the back of the neck with a [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Norinco Type 56]] fitted with an [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]]-style muzzle brake.
In addition to his M16A2, Yates is also seen using an [[FN Minimi|FN Minimi Paratrooper]] (standing in for the [[FN Minimi#M249-E1 / M249-E2 / M249 Paratrooper SAW|M249 SAW Paratrooper]]) when riding as a gunner on one of the Humvees in the convoy, with a 200-round woodland camo cloth ammo bag. It is recognizable as a standard Minimi Paratrooper (and not an M249) due to the design of the hand guard and the lack of a heat shield.

== AK Carbine ==
== Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun ==


Most of the insurgents involved in the convoy ambush can be seen armed with a custom-made [[AK-47]] carbine; the weapon having the hooded front sights of the Norinco Type 56, AKM-style slant muzzle brakes, short barrels, and side-folding wire frame stocks as seen on the Romanian [[AK-47#AIM/AIMS|AIMS]] rifle.
In addition to the Paratrooper Minimis mentioned above, some of the Humvees in the convoy are also armed with [[Browning M2#Browning M2 Heavy Barrel|Browning M2HB heavy machine guns]] mounted on the roof, though in a rather odd mounting, nearly flush with the top of the vehicle.

== Type 69 RPG ==
=Submachine Guns=
== Heckler & Koch MP5A3 ==


During the convoy ambush, one of the insurgents fires a [[RPG-7#Type 69 RPG|Type 69 RPG]] at the convoy, destroying one of the trucks in the convoy. The weapon can be identified by having the sights mounted off-center to allow for the carrying handle.
During the hostage standoff, police SWAT officers can be seen armed with [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A3|Heckler & Koch MP5A3]]'s with Navy trigger groups, M68 Aimpoint red dot scopes, and Surefire dedicated forend weaponlights.

During Pvt. Owens' funeral, the honor guard can be seen firing a gun salute using [[M1 Garand]] rifles.
There are several appearances of the [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta 92F/FS|Beretta 92FS]] (standing in for the military-issue M9) in the film, first seen in the hands of Lt. Colonel William "Will" Marsh ([[Samuel L. Jackson]]) during the convoy ambush, then in the hands of an enraged and grief-stricken soldier who threatens to shoot Col. Marsh if he doesn't treat his injured friend when the base is under insurgent mortar attack.

When talking to his boss about having had his civilian job at a local gun store given to someone else while he was in Iraq, Yates picks up and inspects an [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|AR-15 A2 HBAR]] rifle with no muzzle brake.
Some of the police officers seen in the hostage standoff can be seen using [[Glock 17]] pistols as their sidearms.


:If it has no muzzle brake, and no threading on the end of the barrel, it might be a Colt Match Target or some other "post-ban" AR-15 variant.

At one point in the film, Marsh has a violent outburst after showing up drunk for Thanksgiving dinner, and then goes to his room and retrieves a [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta 92FS Inox|Beretta 92FS Inox]], the stainless, civilian version of the M9 pistol he used in Iraq. He contemplates comitting suicide, but his wife Penelope ([[Victoria Rowell]]) finds him and manages to stop him before he can carry out the act, the incident prompting the Marsh family to seek counseling.


While discussing the termination of Yates' job at the gun store, he owner is seen cleaning a [[Mossberg 500 series shotgun#Mossberg 500|Mossberg 500]] with wooden furniture.

Home of the Brave (2006)


The following weapons were used in the film Home of the Brave:

Rifles

M16A2 Rifle

The first and most frequently-seen weapon in the film, the M16A2 rifle appears as the main weapon of US Army soldiers in the film, including Specialist Tommy Yates (Brian Presley).

M16A4 Rifle

Sergeant First Class Duhon can be seen armed with an M16A4 rifle fitted with an EOTech red dot sight. Since the weapon is not seen fired, it is also possible that this weapon is an AR-15 A2 Target, a flattop version of the AR-15 A2 which was introduced by Colt as far back as 1991, long before the M16A4 entered US military service.

Colt Model 733/933

As the protagonists' convoy is entering the city, they pass two soldiers searching and questioning an Iraqi woman. The soldiers are armed with short-barreled M16 carbines which may be either the Colt Model 733s or Model 933s depending on whether the carry handles are detachable or not (they aren't shown closely enough to be certain).

Colt Model 727

One of the soldiers, Specialist Jamal Aiken (Curtis James "50 Cent" Jackson III), carries a Colt Model 727 as his main weapon, with a Trijicon RX-09 red dot sight mounted on the carry handle and a Vortex-style muzzle brake. He also appears to have an M203 leaf sight mounted on the handguard, despite not having an M203 on his weapon.

Colt Match Target

When talking to his boss about having had his civilian job at a local gun store given to someone else while he was in Iraq, Yates picks up and inspects a Colt Match Target rifle. The Match Target is the "post-ban" version of the AR-15 A2 rifle (itself a semi-automatic copy of the M16A2 that Yates used in Iraq), and was sold during the era of the Assault Weapons Ban (1994-2004). It differs from the AR-15 A2 in that it lacks either a bayonet lug or flash hider.

M4A1/M203 Grenade Launcher

Private Jordan Owens (Chad Michael Murray) can be seen carrying an M4A1 carbine fitted with an M203 grenade launcher as his main weapon in Iraq.

Rubber Colt Model 733/M203

When Private Owens is shot and killed by an Iraqi insurgent, his M4A1/M203 transforms into an obvious rubber Colt Model 733 with what seems to be a fake M203 made out of PVC pipe that is tied to the barrel. The rubber weapon is being used because it's getting dropped, but apparently, the movie's armorer didn't have any rubber M4s in inventory.

Romanian AK Draco Carbine

Most of the insurgents involved in the convoy ambush can be seen armed with Romanian AK Draco Carbines fitted with side-folding wire frame stocks taken from the full-size Romanian AIMS assault rifle. These appear to be some of the same guns seen in Ronin (which had the same armorers as this movie).

Machine Guns

FN Minimi Paratrooper

In addition to his M16A2, Yates is also seen using an FN Minimi Paratrooper (standing in for the M249 SAW Paratrooper) when riding as a gunner on one of the Humvees in the convoy, with a 200-round woodland camo cloth ammo bag. It is recognizable as a standard Minimi Paratrooper (and not an M249) due to the design of the hand guard and the lack of a heat shield.

Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun

In addition to the Paratrooper Minimis mentioned above, some of the Humvees in the convoy are also armed with Browning M2HB heavy machine guns mounted on the roof, though in a rather odd mounting, nearly flush with the top of the vehicle.

Handguns

Beretta 92FS

There are several appearances of the Beretta 92FS (standing in for the military-issue M9) in the film, first seen in the hands of Lt. Colonel William "Will" Marsh (Samuel L. Jackson) during the convoy ambush, then in the hands of an enraged and grief-stricken soldier who threatens to shoot Col. Marsh if he doesn't treat his injured friend when the base is under insurgent mortar attack.

Beretta 92FS Inox

At one point in the film, Marsh has a violent outburst after showing up drunk for Thanksgiving dinner, and then goes to his room and retrieves a Beretta 92FS Inox, the stainless, civilian version of the M9 pistol he used in Iraq. He contemplates comitting suicide, but his wife Penelope (Victoria Rowell) finds him and manages to stop him before he can carry out the act, the incident prompting the Marsh family to seek counseling.

Smith & Wesson 4506-1

At one point, out of frustration for not being able to get effective treatment for a back injury he suffered in Iraq coupled with his girlfriend Keisha (Ginger Ewing) breaking up with him, Aiken causes a hostage standoff at the coffee shop Keisha works at, holding her and the other employees hostage while armed with a Smith & Wesson 4506-1.
