-==AR-15 Sporter II Carbine==
-Tugg Speedman ([[Ben Stiller]]), along with various other characters, uses a 16" barreled [[M16|AR-15 Sporter II Carbine]] throughout the film, which is anachronistic for Vietnam . The original AR-15 Carbine was an SP1 (sold between 1978-1985)), so there was no forward Assist on the upper receiver.  Stiller's gun is the A1 version, or what Colt called the "Sporter II version" in U.S. sales. The Colt Model 653 based weapons came after 1973.  He should be using an XM177 variation to be accurate to the era.  It may be an homage to the movie ''[[Platoon]]'' since the characters of Barnes ([[Tom Berenger]]) and Elias ([[Willem Dafoe]]) used the Phillipine export Colt Model 653 rifles. This film uses what is available in the United States, which happens to be the Sporter II carbine, since most of the movie was filmed in Los Angeles and Hawaii.

-==M67 "Baseball" grenade==
+=Rifle=
-Speedman and Portnoy are seen with [[M67 hand grenade]]s attached to their belts and jackets. Since their film is supposed to take place in 1969, it makes sense to see them with these grenades, since '69 was when the M67 began to mass replace the M26 grenade.

 ==AKM==
-Vietnamese soldiers are seen armed with [[AK-47|AKM]] rifles during the opening "Hot LZ" scene, one of which most notabley dissembowels Sandsuky with his bayonet. It would be more accurate for the Vietnamese to use Norinco Type 56 rifles, the chinese model of the AK. Later the Guerilla soldiers can be seen armed with AKM rifles, which appear to be Egyptian Maadi ARM rifles, one of the most common AKMs used in films.
+North Vietnamese soldiers are seen armed with [[AK-47|AKM]] rifles during the opening "Hot LZ" scene, one of which most notably disembowels Sandsuky with his bayonet. In real life, it would be more accurate for the Vietnamese to use Soviet AK-47s or Chinese Type 56 rifles, the Chinese copy of the AK. An AKM at this time in history is an anachronism, Hanoi didn't get AKMs from the Soviet Union in any sort of numbers until 1972 and it would take at least a year for guns to filter down to the troops in the field. Even during the fall of Saigon in 1975 there are virtually no AKMs seen in wartime photographs of front line NVA units. At the point depicted in the movie within a movie, 99% of the guns in the field were Chinese Type 56s or vintage AK-47s. Later the guerrilla soldiers can be seen armed with AKM rifles, which appear to be Egyptian Maadi ARM rifles, one of the most common AKMs used in films.

-:It is? Isn't that just the name of a custom airsoft gun? The M4 variant with the 11.5 inch barrel is called the "M4 Commando" on Colt's LEO web site, but those have the receivers with detachable carry handles; these guns have A2 receivers. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 03:03, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

The "tin can" style Type 67 (also called the Type II) and the Pineapple style Type 58 stick grenades were commonly used by NVA (PAVN) soldiers or VC Guerrillas during the war.
