== M21 == | |||
The [[M14|M21]] is an accurized semi-automatic 7.62mm NATO [[M14]] rifle that served as the official Army sniper rifle until 1988 before being replaced by the [[Remington 700]] based bolt-action [[M24]]. Despite being officially replaced the [[M21]] was fielded in both gulf wars and continues to be fielded by US Army and special forces around the world today. | |||

The Russian manufactured [[RPG-7]] features prominently in ''[[Black Hawk Down]]'' as it is the weapon which brings down a pair of Black Hawks. In one scene, a projectile from an RPG-7 strikes the driver of one of the deuce and a half trucks in McKnight's convoy and fails to detonate, impaling the luckless soldier instead. | |||

== AK-47 == | |||
There are so many [[AK-47]]s in ''[[Black Hawk Down]]'' I doubt any other film has ever had more on screen. It's safe to assume the rifle you see almost every gunman carry and fire is an [[AK-47]]. You'll see [[AK-47]]s with and without stocks, with and without foregrips, with and without folding stocks and every permutation in between. | |||

== AKS-74U == | |||
The Somali militia leader carries an [[AKS-74U]] which was specifically designed as a compact personal defense weapon for pilots and tank crews. Despite its small size it still fires the powerful 5.45x39mm cartridge. | |||

== 1911 == | |||
We see the [[1911]] pistol in the hands of both Delta troops and a Somali militiaman. As the two Delta snipers attempt to secure the second crash site they are forced to draw their sidearms, [[1911]] and [[Beretta 92|Beretta M-9]] pistols, as the overwhelming Somali forces close in on them. The second Delta sniper is ultimately killed by multiple shots from a ''Skinny's'' .45 [[1911]]. | |||
