Toy Soldiers (1991)

Toy Soldiers is a 1991 American action thriller film that focuses on a group of mostly problematic, non-disciplined students who have their prep school taken over by a group of Colombian terrorists. The terrorist leader, Luis Cali (Andrew Divoff) plants explosives throughout the school grounds and threatens to blow it up along with everyone in it if his demands aren't met or the school is assaulted. As the US Army is called in to figure out a way to effectively deal with the situation, the students take it upon themselves to make efforts to re-take the school. In addition to Divoff, the film's cast includes Sean Astin, Louis Gossett Jr., Michael Champion, and Wil Wheaton. The film received assistance from the US Department of Defense, who provided UH-60 Black Hawk and AH-64 Apache helicopters (both new in Army inventory at the time) for the production.

These are also seen carried by US Army Infiltration members as well.

 ==Uzi Carbine==
-One of the terrorists is seen multiple times using an [[Uzi Carbine]], the civilian version of the Uzi SMG, fitted with a 16-inch barrel with a barrel shroud. It seems the armorers converted it to full-auto fire for the film. It is most notably used when Joey Trotta ([[Wil Wheaton]]) knocks out a terrorist and attempts to kill another with the the Uzi, failing as the muzzle rise, very inaccurately depicted, raises his fire to the sky, and he is gunned down by the terrorist's SP89.

+The belltower guard uses an [[M72 LAW]] anti-tank rocket launcher to blow up sheriff's police car. Several additional LAWs are seen in the film. Jack Thorpe ([[Michael Champion]]) notably attempts to use one on the incoming UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters. Throughout the film, several rockets are seen next to the launchers, suggesting that the LAW can be reloaded, but in reality, it is a single-use weapon.
