44 Minutes: The North Hollywood Shootout (2003)

44 Minutes: The North Hollywood Shootout is a 2003 television film that dramatizes the events surrounding the infamous 1997 shootout between Los Angeles Police Department officers and two heavily armed bank robbers in the North Hollywood district of Los Angeles. The film's cast included Michael Madsen, Ron Livingston, Andrew Bryniarski, Oleg Taktarov and Mario Van Peebles. Some of the film's technical advisers included the LAPD SWAT officers who participated in the actual incident.

The following weapons were used in the film 44 Minutes: The North Hollywood Shootout:

Rifles

AKMS

Two types of non-Russian AKMS copies (incorrectly - though understandably - identified in the film as "AK-47s") are used by the 'High Incident Bandits' - Larry Eugene Phillips Jr. (Andrew Bryniarski) and Emil Matasareanu (Oleg Taktarov).

Romanian AIMS

The first type of AK used by the robbers is the Romanian-manufactured AIMS, distinguished by its side-folding skeleton stock and vertical foregrip integrated into the handguard. This is the type used by both men when they first enter the bank and for nearly all of the gun battle. For much of the movie, the men use 75-round drum magazines when they engage the LAPD in the massive 44-minute shootout (though Matasareanu's AIMS has a 30-round box magazine when he first enters the bank).

In real life, the two main AKs used by the gunmen were Chinese Norinco Type 56S rifles illegally converted to full-auto, though both guns were fitted with Romanian side-folding stocks and Phillips' AK was fitted with a Global Trades "reverse donkey dong" vertical foregrip (similar in design to the Romanian AIMS grip).

+Near the final battle, Matasareanu ([[Oleg Taktarov]]) arms himself with a custom [[M16]] assault rifle. The weapon has an [[M16A2]]-style receiver and heavy barrel, with a collapsible [[XM177|CAR-15/XM177]]-style stock and the triangular forearm of an [[M16A1]]. The weapon is also fitted with a 100-round Beta C magazine. In all likelihood, this is an M16A2-style upper receiver/barrel unit fitted with A1 hand guards, and slapped onto a full-auto lower receiver with collapsible stock by the movie's armorer, Thell Reed. Specific make/model of either the upper or lower receiver assemblies is difficult to identify.
-Near the final battle, Matasareanu ([[Oleg Taktarov]]) arms himself with what appears to be a custom M16 assault rifle, assembled from components of many weapons in the M16 family. The weapon has an M16 A2-style receiver and heavy barrel (Note that the weapon in the film has a full-length barrel, whereas the firearm used during the actual incident has a shortened barrel), with a collapsible CAR-15/M4-style stock and the triangular forearm of an M16A1. The weapon is also fitted with a 100-round Beta C magazine.
+In real life, this weapon was a Bushmaster XM15 E2S "Dissipator" carbine that had been retrofitted with M16A1-style hand guards and a collapsible stock. The Dissipator carbine differs from the "Franken" gun seen in the movie in that it has a shorter 17.25" barrel, whereas the movie gun has a standard 20" A2-style heavy barrel.

Since this takes place in California in the mid 1990s,'' no gun shop would sell any rifle that was marked Colt AR-15 or Colt CAR-15 since they were banned 'by name' by the California "Roberti-Roos Assault Weapon Ban of 1989"''. However any aftermarket/third party gun or the Colt Sporters were okay since they didn't say "AR-15". The Colt Sporter II and other AR-15 style rifles would still eventually be banned by another California bill in 1999. These weapons were never used because by the time the patrol officers with the rifles arrived at the scene, SWAT officers had already neutralized the second suspect. The gun shop owner calls it "America's answer to the AK-47".
