Invasion U.S.A. (1985) Note that in the movie poster, the micro Uzis appear to have been enlarged by the artist.

Invasion U.S.A. is a 1985 action film starring Chuck Norris as a former CIA operative and the only man who can stop a terrorist invasion of the continental United States. While there was a 1952 film of the same name, the only common elements were an invasion on American soil by Soviet/Communist commandos using conventional weapons and the attempts by brave Americans to fight them off. The Georgia Army National Guard provided a massive amount of assistance to the production, which included several UH-1 gunships, M60 tanks, M113 APC's, and numerous soldiers.

The following weapons were used in the film Invasion U.S.A. (1985):

+=Rifles=
+== M16A1 Rifle Colt Model 603 ==
+The [[M16 rifle series#M16A1 Rifle|M16A1 rifle]] is used by US Army and National Guard soldiers and terrorists.

This is likely the first-ever cinema appearance of PASGT gear.]]
+[[Image:IUSA 14.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|M16s are carried by US troops.]]
+==MGC Replica M16 rifle==
+Some of the terrorists in the final battle are seen with [[M16|MGC M16]] Replica rifles.

-'':Actually I remember seeing this movie back in the day and I do not think they were XM148s or flare launchers by virtue of the fact the launcher had a pistol grip and conventional trigger housing and, at the climax of the film, seems to be capable of firing multiple rounds without reload (to wit Norris fires his weapon and by virtue of moving the muzzle two holes appear in the wall).

One with a scope is also seen used by Nikko ([[Alexander Zale]]), Rostov's right hand man, disguised as a National Guard soldier.

+[[Image:IUSA 10.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|The shotgun is carried on the right.]]
-''I think this was another movie mock up as well.  Again, the weapon seemed capable of firing multiple times without reload and was considerably shorter than the SA-7. [[User:Charon68|Charon68]]''
+==12 gauge double barreled Shotgun==
+A civilian is seen holding a 12 gauge double barreled shotgun (side by side) while protecting a family that is evacuating.

+=Launcher=
+== M203 Grenade Launcher ==
+A few soldiers are seen with [[M203 grenade launcher]]s attached to their [[M16A1]] rifles.

+[[Image:IUSA 14.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|M203 seen in the center.]]
-==MAC-10==
+==M72 LAW==
-[[Image:IngramMAC10.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Ingram MAC 10 open bolt Submachine gun - .45acp]]‎
+The [[M72 LAW]] is used throughout the film.  In a flashback, Rostov prepares to use the LAW before being thwarted.  Also used twice by Hunter during the final battle. Hunter first used one to destroy Rostov's helicopter and then when Hunter took it from a terrorist he killed and uses it against Rostov. Also used by US Army and National Guard troops during the final assault.

+[[File:IUSA 146.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|US captain fires the LAW.]]
-==M1911A1 Pistol==
+==Custom Under-Barrel "Grenade" launcher==
+Mounted under both M16A1s and M16/SP1 slab sided rifles is an unusual custom 'grenade launcher'. Seen used by the terrorist throughout the film.  In the final battle one is used by Rostov ([[Richard Lynch]]) on a slab sided SP1 rifle with a three prong flash hider. Another is used by Matt Hunter ([[Chuck Norris]]) on an M16A1 rifle with a birdcage flash hider.  It is a simple tube that is attached to the barrel (via cutting holes in the A1 style handguards) and has a pistol frame grip to hold onto. The pistol grip can clearly be seen in the final scenes to be that of a Walther P-38, and the weapon may have been modeled after the [[XM148 grenade launcher]]
+[[Image:IUSA-Underslung01.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Rostov ([[Richard Lynch]]) carries the M16A1 with the custom launcher during the final assault.]]

+[[Image:IUSA-UnderslungType2 01.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Matt with the custom weapon.]]
-Seen in holsters of U.S. ARMY and National Guard troops
+==Fictional Rocket Launcher Type 1==
+Mikal Rostov ([[Richard Lynch]]) uses a fictional mocked up launcher designed to slightly resemble an SA-7 Grail (Streyla) or Armbrust missile launcher, except he uses it in a direct fire role and he fires it multiple times without reloading.
+[[Image:IUSA-Launcher01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Rostov's henchman Nikko begins to aim but Rostov stops him and takes the launcher for himself.]]
+[[Image:IUSA-Launcher2.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Rostov about to be used the launcher.]]
+[[Image:IUSA-Launcher3.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|The mockup launcher after used by Rostov.]]
+[[Image:IUSA-Launcher4.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Rostov holds the launcher.]]
+==Fictional Rocket Launcher Type 2==
+During the attack on the Central Command Center in Atlanta, Rostov picks up and uses a launcher that is very similar to the previous one, but not exactly the same. It has specific design differences. This could be the secondary mockup, since this one does not fire, whereas the slightly different one before is set up to fire pyrotechnical charges.
+[[Image:IUSA-Launcher05.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Rostov hears something while carrying the faux launcher.]]
