::Hey Gunmaster45.  Any idea what shotgun this is?
:::I think it is a Winchester 1200 with a standard magazine tube. The action is blued so it's hard to make the shape out exactly but it appears to match a 1200's type. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

i think it is a stevens but i dont know the exact model. i think so cause i read a book that stevens were popular in the army because they were so rugged

It looks very much like a Remington 870.

1968 Tunnel Rats (2009)

1968 Tunnel Rats is the latest film directed by 'infamous director' Uwe Boll. The film was originally titled Tunnel Rats. The film was screened at film festivals in Canada and Germany and had a limited theatrical run in Los Angeles at the Downtown Independent Theatre on December 20th, 2008. The 'official' release date for the film in the U.S. was supposed to be March 13th, 2009, however that release date got pushed back, despite being released elsewhere in the world on DVD. Now the U.S. DVD will be available for wide release on Jun 30, 2009.

Like usual, there is a lot to criticize in the film, though the film itself has mixed reviews (some reviewers actually think Boll is getting better(!)) But there was not a lot of thought put into the costuming and gear for the film. The Soldiers wear modern BDUs in O.D., their shoulder patches are bright and not subdued (subdued insignia was common by 1968) and the helmet covers are Woodland BDU, not the Nam leaf pattern which is correct for Vietnam.


The following guns were used in the movie "1968 Tunnel Rats"


M1911A1

Soldier carries Smith & Wesson Model 916-A Shotgun. Yeow! Boll can sure screw up uniforms! The Webgear is 1980s vintage LCE, the helmet covers are Woodland BDU camo, and the shoulder patches are non-subdued.

XM177

M654

M16

The squad dismounts from their UH-1A "Huey" helicopter with M16s. (I think it's the early A model, which makes it too 'short' to carry the standard complement of soldiers. Typical Uwe Boll mistake, the Helo has a non-subdued U.S. AIRFORCE logo (but no letter stating USAF). What's a USAF helicopter doing dropping off Infantry?

  • Visible are obviously ModelGun Corp M16 replica rifles.

M60

Seen in every scene with a squad of soldiers, one always carries the ubiquitous M60 GPMG - 7.62x51mm

Browning M2 Heavy Barrel Machine Gun

Type 84

  • Rather anachronistically, the NVA soldiers use Norinco Type 84S (5.56mm) AK rifles whereas they should be using Type 56 rifles chambered in 7.62x39mm

Mosin-Nagant Rifles
