The following weapons were used in the film Bravo Two Zero:
Bravo Two Zero was a British "made for Television Movie" in 1999 by the BBC. It chronicles the heroic mission of British SAS commandos dropped behind Iraqi lines during the First Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm 1990-1991). This unit later became the most highly decorated British Military Patrol unit since the last Boer War (1899-1902). It starred Sean Bean as SAS Commando Andy McNab.
M16A2/M203
M16A2s with M203 grenade launchers are used by the majority of the British SAS patrol, including Andy McNab (Sean Bean) and Chris Ryan (Kevin Collins). The rifles feature a camouflage paint scheme, McNab having a compass taped to the side of his weapon.
FN Minimi
Three FN Minimi light machine guns are among the complement of weapons carried by the patrol. They also feature camouflage paint schemes, and also have the open front sights of the Canadian C9 variant.
M72 LAW
LAW 66 rocket launchers are used by the SAS troops to halt the advance of attacking Iraqi armor, knocking out a BMP and a truck during a brief skirmish.
Norinco Type 84S
Most of the Kalashnikov-style rifles used in the film are actually Chinese-made Norinco Type 84S rifles, distinguished by their straighter 5.56x45mm magazines.
