'''''The Omega Man''''' is a 1971 science fiction thriller based on the novel "I Am Legend" written by Richard Matheson.  This was actually the second feature film adaptation of the novel, the first being the 1964 film ''[[The Last Man on Earth]]''.  In the 1971 adaptation, [[Charlton Heston]] stars as Col. Robert Neville, who unexpectedly becomes the last human on earth devastated by a deadly virus.  The novel would later be adapted again for the screen in 2007's ''[[I Am Legend]]'', which used some of the elements added to this film.  ''The Omega Man'' is considered by some to be part of [[Charlton Heston]]'s unofficial trilogy of post apocalyptic films which included ''[[Planet of the Apes (1968)]]'' and ''[[Soylent Green]]''.

==M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle==
Robert Neville ([[Charlton Heston]]) uses an [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]] with M3 active infrared scope and IR lamp and the bipod removed. The mutated plague-victims in "The Family" believe that Science and Technology are what ultimately led to the germ warfare that destroyed human civilization, so they categorically don't believe in using any technology above the bow and arrow level, particularly guns. Neville, meanwhile, has no compunction against using technology - I.E. hunting The Family with automatic rifles fitted with infrared scopes so he can see at night as well as they can.

The Omega Man is a 1971 science fiction thriller based on the novel "I Am Legend" written by Richard Matheson. This was actually the second feature film adaptation of the novel, the first being the 1964 film The Last Man on Earth. In the 1971 adaptation, Charlton Heston stars as Col. Robert Neville, who unexpectedly becomes the last human on earth devastated by a deadly virus. The novel would later be adapted again for the screen in 2007's I Am Legend, which used some of the elements added to this film. The Omega Man is considered by some to be part of Charlton Heston's unofficial trilogy of post apocalyptic films which included Planet of the Apes (1968) and Soylent Green.

The Family ready to smash Neville's gun racks. Left to right: An old M1 Rocket Launcher (2.36"), two more 1903 variants, M1 Garand, M1917 Enfield, High Standard shotgun (unknown model), MP-40 and a standard M1 Carbine (post war). The stark lighting makes it hard to see, but the weapons are easier to identify when the rack comes crashing down (when analyzing frame by frame).

M1903

Several rifles which appear to be M1903 variants are on the rack but never fired or handled. One of them is briefly seen with a scope. Hard to see if it is an 03-A3 or an O3A4, but the scope is a commercial one.

Members of "the Family" prepare to smash Neville's guns. Again, the dark lighting makes it difficult to clearly see the weapons. Only by playing the scenes of the racks smashing to the ground over and over again can one make educated guesses about the firearms.

Trivia

Early Flashlight mounts

As in other films before the advent of integral flashlight mounts for submachine guns and other firearms, shooters had to make do. The DIY crude metal clamps that Robert Neville (Charlton Heston) uses to affix a large and bulky flashlight to his M76 Submachine gun was the precursor to the Surefire (and others) tactical lighting systems we enjoy today.
