Full Metal Jacket is a 1987 Vietnam War film directed by Stanley Kubrick that follows a US Marine nicknamed "Joker" (Matthew Modine) through his initiation into Marine boot camp up to his tour in Vietnam as a reporter for Stars and Stripes. Upon his deployment, Joker and his fellow Marines find themselves in the midst of the Battle of Hue during the 1968 Tet Offensive. With a screenplay adapted from Gustav Hasford's novel The Short-Timers, Full Metal Jacket provided breakthrough acting roles for Vincent D'Onofrio and R. Lee Ermey, who was a former Marine drill instructor prior to his iconic role as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in the film. At the time of its premiere, the film was part of a wave of Vietnam War-related theatrical releases, and was unfairly compared to Oliver Stone's Platoon (which was released just over six months prior to this film). The film's title refers to a bullet usually consisting of a soft lead core encased in a shell made of harder material, typically of metal.

The following weapons were used in the film Full Metal Jacket:

Rifles

M14

The M14 Rifle features prominently in the U.S. Marine boot camp scenes in the film. Once the Marines arrive in Vietnam they are issued M16s. The M14 rifle is notably seen in the film 'locked and loaded' with 7.62x51mm NATO rounds when Private Leonard "Gomer Pyle" Lawrence (Vincent D'Onofrio) is confronted first by Pvt. "Joker" (Matthew Modine), and then Gunnery Sergeant Hartman (R. Lee Ermey), in the 'head'. When Joker asks if the rounds were live, Pyle responds, "Seven-Six-Two millimeter, Full Metal Jacket".

-The [[M16 rifle series#M16 Rifle|M16 rifle]] appears in the film as the standard-issue weapon of most of the US Marines in Vietnam.  The film takes place during the Tet offensive in 1968, it would be technically accurate since the [[M16 rifle series#M16A1 Rifle|M16A1 rifle]] were introduced after 1967.  Cowboy ([[Arliss Howard]]) has his M16 with two magazines taped together "jungle style", as this is where this practice originated prior to the introduction of higher-capacity 30-round magazines for the M16. During his encounter with the VC sniper, Pvt. Joker's rifle jams on him, something early M16's were notorious for due to poor maintenance habits and faulty ammunition.

+==USAF M16 (Colt Model 604)==
+The [[M16 Rifle]] appears in the film as the standard-issue weapon of most of the US Marines in Vietnam. Since the film takes place during the Tet offensive in 1968, the use of M16s is correct since it was adopted by the USMC in 1967. However, the particular rifle adopted by the USMC was the [[M16A1]] whereas the rifle featured in the film is a Colt Model 604, which was the version of the M16 adopted by the US Air Force which lacked a forward assist and had the partial magazine fence of the [[XM16E1]]. "Cowboy" ([[Arliss Howard]]) has his M16 with two magazines taped together 'jungle style', a practice that originated during World War II for the [[Thompson]] that was carried over to the M16 during Vietnam. During his encounter with the VC sniper, Pvt. Joker's rifle jams on him, something early M16s were notorious for due to poor maintenance habits and faulty ammunition.

-The Doorgunner ([[Tim Colceri]]) on the helicopter that takes Joker ([[Matthew Modine]]) and Rafterman ([[Kevyn Major Howard]]) to join Pvt. Cowboy's ([[Arliss Howard]]) 1st Platoon repeatedly fires an [[M60 machine gun]] at random Vietnamese they pass. The M60 is also the weapon Animal Mother ([[Adam Baldwin]]) carries throughout ''[[Full Metal Jacket]]''. Pvt. Joker can also be seen firing an M60 when their base is attacked at the start of the Tet Offensive.

+==Sa vz. 58==
+The VC sniper ([[Ngoc Le]]) that engages the Marines is armed with a Czech-made [[Sa vz. 58]]. Though the Sa vz. 58 rifles were commonly used by the North Vietnamese Army alongside the more predominant Soviet [[AK-47]] (as well as the Chinese [[Type 56 assault rifle|Type 56]] copy), it is technically incorrect for them to be in common use with the VC. The Việt Cộng tended to use less modern weapons, like captured [[M1 Carbine]]s, [[SKS]] rifles and old weapons from the First Indochina War.
