'''''Mercenary for Justice''''' is a 2006 direct-to-DVD action film directed by Don E. FauntLeRoy and starring [[Steven Seagal]] as John Seeger, who commands a squad of mercenaries hired by the CIA to carry out a ''coup d'état'' on a fictional island in Southern Africa. After his mercenaries are defeated due to the appearance of French regular troops, Seeger finds that his CIA employers are dissatisfied and now have a nearly suicidal mission for him and his men. Some of the battle scenes were filmed partially in Bulgaria (all scenes with T-72 tanks and other armored vehicles) while others were filmed in South Africa, resulting in numerous continuity errors. | '''''Mercenary for Justice''''' is a 2006 direct-to-DVD action film directed by [[Don E.

Mercenary for Justice is a 2006 direct-to-DVD action film directed by Don E. FauntLeRoy and starring Steven Seagal as John Seeger, who commands a squad of mercenaries hired by the CIA to carry out a coup d'état on a fictional island in Southern Africa. After his mercenaries are defeated due to the appearance of French regular troops, Seeger finds that his CIA employers are dissatisfied and now have a nearly suicidal mission for him and his men. Some of the battle scenes were filmed partially in Bulgaria (all scenes with T-72 tanks and other armored vehicles) while others were filmed in South Africa, resulting in numerous continuity errors.
The following weapons are seen in the movie Mercenary for Justice:

Glock 19
Glock pistols (supposedly 2nd Generation Glock 19) are used by several characters including Kruger (Langley Kirkwood), John Dresham (Luke Goss) and Maxine Barnol (Jacqueline Lord).

PPSh-41
PPSh-41 submachine gun with a 71 round drum magazine is seen in hands of a mercenary in the opening scene. Many PPSh-41 were captured by South African army during the border conflicts with Angola and Mozambique, so it's not surprising to see PPSh in South African filmed movie.
PPS-43 (visually modified to resemble MP5)
During the mission in Cape Town Kruger (Langley Kirkwood), Dekerk (Vivian Bieldt) and other mercenaries are armed with submachine guns that look like Heckler & Koch MP5A3 but really are visually modified PPS-43s. The same weapons can be seen in Behind Enemy Lines II: Axis of Evil that was also filmed in Bulgaria.
MP5A3
In some shots, real MP5A3s are used.
Shotguns

One of the mercenaries carries a Mossberg 500 shotgun during the attack on the villa of the French ambassador in the opening scene. Mossberg 500s are also seen in hands of Cape Town police.

During the shootout in the lighthouse Samuel Kay (Michael Kenneth Williams) is armed with a Winchester Model 1300 with with extended tube and pistol grip. Cape Town police officers can be seen carrying Winchester Model 1300s with standard wood furniture.
Assault Rifles
Vektor R5
Vektor R5 assault rifles are the most widely used guns in this movie. They are seen in hands of mercenaries, French commandos, Cape Town police officers, and Chapel's henchmen. Some of these R5 can be LM5, semi-automatic civilian version of this assault rifle.
In several scenes a version of R5 with additional front grip can be seen.
Vektor R5 (visually modified to resemble AK-47)
Many R5s are visually modified to resemble the AK-47 assault rifles. They are fitted with the wooden furniture and AK-style compensators but still can be identified by their angled receivers and Galil-style 5.56mm magazines. Most mercenaries are armed with such rifles.
Fake AK-47
The first version of fake AK has a longer barrel and wooden buttstock and resembles AK-47.
Fake short AK
The second version has the original R5 barrel and folding stock and is fitted only with wooden stock and grip. It distantly resembles AKS-74U or AKMSU.
AK-47
Genuine AK-47s can also be seen in the movie. They are probably from Bulgarian arsenals (the Bulgarian army used 7.62mm AKs for the longest time of all Eastern Europe states).
AK-63 F
In the opening scene one of the mercenaries on the truck can be seen with a FEG AK-63 F, without the slanted muzzle brake.
AKMS
One of the mercenaries on the truck can be seen a Bulgarian manufactured AKM, without slanted muzzle brake.

Several French commandos are armed with assault rifles that resembles the SIG SG 550 but appear to be airsoft replicas. More specifically it appears to be a Spring JP Air Sports Combat 912A, as noted by the shape of the handguard with a bracket for the bipod, and the shape of the magazine. This same replica can be seen in other Bulgarian filmes movies, such as Infestation.

M4 Carbine
Colt M4 carbines are seen several times in hands of the guards of the villa of the French ambassador in the opening scene. They immediately switches to Vektor R5 rifles in a continuity error. As a guess they are airsoft guns.
Arsenal AR (visually modified to resemble M16)
M16A2 assault rifles, that are seen in the scene of the funeral of "Radio" Jones (Zaa Nkweta), are really visually modified Bulgarian Arsenal ARs. The same convertion can be seen in other Bulgarian-filmed movies, such as Universal Soldier: Regeneration, The Tournament and Day of the Dead.
