'The following guns were used by the following actors in the movie, The Dogs of War:
Rifles & Carbines
Colt Sporter 1 Carbine
Carried by Jamie Shannon Christopher Walken, Terry Ed O'Neil, Drew Tom Berenger, and the rest of the mercenaries at the beginning of the film, when they are fleeing a Central American Airfield. They are not real CAR-15s nor XM177 rifles. Special Effects Unlimited, Inc. converted Colt Sporter Carbines with the 16" barrels and made them resemble the XM177 series of short rifles with an aftermarket flashhider.
FN FAL|Australian L1A1
The Zangaran troops what appears to be the Australian version of the FN FAL - the Lithgow Arsenal L1A1.
Valmet M71S
Some of the Central American soldiers are seen running with Valmet M71S Rifle with 20 round 5.56mm NATO magazines.
SKS Carbine
An SKS Carbine is seen in the hands of a Zangaran guard who is later killed by Jamie Shannon (Walken) during his initial recon of the Zangaran capital.
Submachine Guns
Uzi
The main weapon used by the mercenaries during the final assault. There are a mix of real Uzi Submachine Guns and MAC-10s dummied up to resemble Uzis. Similarly modified MAC-10s (fake Uzis) have been seen in Raw Deal, High Risk, Stripes and The A-Team.
During the first stages of the assault, Jamie Shannon (Christopher Walken) and Jinja (Eddie Tagoe) put Sionics Two Stage Sound Suppressors on their Uzis - and use them to take out the sentries. Shannon's is also equipped with a small Star-Lite scope.
As the battle begins all the main actors use Uzis. However in the final few minutes all have switched to MAC-10s disguised as Uzis.
MAC-10
Mixed in with the mercenaries using Uzis during the weapons training on the ship are a few MAC-10s.
Handguns
Walther P38
A Walther P38 Used by a Zangaran woman to shoot Drew (Tom Berenger) in the back during the final assault.
M1911A1
A M1911A1 is used by Jamie Shannon (Christopher Walken) to shoot Colonel Bobi (George Harris) towards the end of the movie, though the pistol that he tosses to the desk moments later, looks like a Browning Hi-Power.
French M1935A Pistol
A M1935A Pistol (built at S.A.C.M. (Societe Alsacienne Construcion Mechanique)) is carried by Michel (Jean-François Stévenin), when his truck is inspected by the border police.
Beretta M951
Jamie Shannon (Christopher Walken) keeps a Beretta M951 "Brigadier" in his refrigerator.
- On second thought, this might by the same pocket pistol that he uses to answer the door MoviePropMaster2008 06:50, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
Beretta Model 82
Jamie Shannon (Christopher Walken) keeps a single stack Beretta Model 82 pistol in one of his desk drawers. He draws it to answer the door when Endean (Hugh Millais) drops by to offer him a job.
Machinegun
M60
Used in the final assault. First on a fixed mount by the Zangaran troops and then by the mercenaries including Derek (Paul Freeman) who removes it from the mount for the final shootout at Kimba's compound. It should be noted that former SAS trooper Derek does the "correct" thing during most of his weapons use in the movie by firing short, controlled bursts from both the M60 and his Uzi.
Specialty Weapons
Manville 25mm Projectile Launcher
Known as the fictional "XM-18" in the movie, the multi-shot grenade launcher itself is the late model variant of the Manville Projectile Launcher. Originally designed in 1936 as a rotary 12 ga shotgun. Several internet sources claim that the "XM-18" was the first Manville 12 ga shotgun (25 round capacity), but that is incorrect. The version in the film is the late model 25mm Manville with 18 round capacity. As has been said in many online sources, the explosive effects of the Manville in the film are a piece of fiction. The device was designed to fire 25mm tear gas grenades or flares. By the early 1940s Charles Manville developed his final version of the Manville Projectile Launcher, this time in 37mm with a 12 round capacity, but even with the advent of World War 2 occupying everyone's thoughts, the orders for a multiple grenade launcher didn't catch, especially since, when fully loaded, the Manville would be incredibly heavy. By 1943, the Manville Launcher was scrapped. After decades of no production, the Movie "Dogs of War" generated incredible interest again in the Manville. Frankford Arsenal decided to renew the production with new materials and developed 12 ga, 25mm, and 40mm versions - calling it the Manville Projectile Launcher.
The Manville Projectile Launcher was primarily used by Jamie Shannon (Christopher Walken) and Drew (Tom Berenger) in the final assault. The 'shells' are aluminum casings designed to take 12 ga blanks
M72 LAW
M72 LAWs are used by the Zangaran Mercenaries during the final assault for both anti-tank and as a bunker buster kind of weapon
M18A1 Claymore
M18A1 Claymores are shown being laid out on the road by Drew (Tom Berenger) when he leads a groups of mercenaries towards the back entrance to the compound.
Unknown Revolver
Amongst the many handguns hidden around his New York Apartment, Jamie Shannon (Christopher Walken) also has a revolver of unknown make and model, where he keeps his 'bills'.
Trivia
In the novel from which the film is loosely based,the mercenaries use a cache of World War II MP40's purchased from an ex-SS soldier.
