The following weapons appear in the film Proof of Life:
Proof of Life is a 2000 film about a construction contractor (David Morse) trying to build a dam in a South American country. He is kidnapped by the country's left-wing insurgency, known as the ELT, after which his wife (Meg Ryan) hires a private security contractor (Russell Crowe) to rescue him.
Seen in the hands of ELT members. Just about every variant is seen, but i listed the two that are the most common.
AKS-74U
Seen in the hands of Chechen rebels and several ELT members. Exept the Russian Army soldiers, they holding polish submichineguns Kbk. wz. 88 Onyks (Chechen part was filmed in Poland)
AR-18
Briefly seen being used by an ELT member during the ambush.
Benelli M2
Dino (David Caruso) scares away the extremely useless K&R guys with his Benelli M2 and then walks patrol with it. The weapon is later seen at his hideout on a gun rack along with a Heckler & Koch G36K and a Steyr Scout.
Beretta M92FS
Used by Mr. Fernandez until it is literally pulled out of his hands by Terry.
Terry's (Russell Crowe) personal sidearm is a Colt Commander. He pulls it on Mr. Fernandez's group and later gives it to Peter (David Morse) during the rescue. There must have been two different weapons used, because when he first pulls it, adjustable sights are seen.
M18 Claymore
M67 Fragmenation Grenade
DShK Heavy Machine Gun
A DShK is seen being used by Chechen rebels in the opening credits scene. It looks like a real DShK and not a M2 mock-up.
Heckler & Koch G36K
Seen being held by a team member (downtown 2 i think), asking if they should bring it. One is also seen on the gun rack with the Benelli M2 Super 90 and a Steyr Scout.
IMI Galil ARM
The Israeli-made Galil ARM can be seen being used by ELT members throughout.
Seen on a table at Dino's place when the team was loading up.
FN FAL
Used by several ELT members throughout.
M4 with M203 underbarrel grenade launcher
Used by Uptown 2 during the rescue, then Dino when Downtown 3 is injured and he goes to find him.
M4A1
Used by everyone, except downtown 3 during the rescue.
It is not a "Night" site, it is in fact an 0-2 site. 0-2 standing for 0 to 200 meters and is use to quickly obtain sight alignment in close engagements. -Just your friendly neighborhood Marine
CAR-15 varients
Used in bulk by the ELT. Maybe they got a group discount.
M16A1
M16A2
Used by a few ELT members. They all have shell deflectors and forward assists, making them 'A2s.
M249 SAW Para
M16A1 with M203 underbarrel grenade launcher
Seen so briefly, it isnt funny.
M72A2 L.A.W.
Used by a few ELt members during the rescue.
M733
Again, seen very very very briefly.
FN Minimi
An FN Minimi is seen used by Downtown 3, fitted with an M249-style heat shield. He uses it so well, i think that Downtown 3 is the military advisor and/or an armorour.
He was actually part of the security team for the shoot; the director liked his look and put him in the film.
RPK
Seen in the hands of a few ELT members.
RPG-7
Used by a Chechen rebel in the beginning.
Dragunov SVD
Being held by a Russian soldier on the tank.
Steyr Scout
Seen on the gun rack, far right.
Unknown Pistol
Seen in a holster of a crooked police/ELT member.
IMI Uzi
FN FNC
Used by a few ELT members.
Not is the FNC. Is the spanish CETME LC
Tactical Map
I just had to mention this map, because it is so realistic. It is exactly what a team of Special Operations Forces would use when assaulting a camp.
