Revision as of 03:10, 27 June 2010
Green Zone is a 2010 thriller/war film directed by Paul Greengrass set in post-invasion Baghdad and starring Matt Damon as Roy Miller, an Army Chief Warrant Officer who is determined to find out why his team cannot find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. This is the third movie on which Greengrass and Damon worked together (following The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum]]).
The following weapons are featured in the film Green Zone:
Beretta 92FS
An 'asset' working for the Americans uses a Beretta 92FS pistol while hunting down General Al-Rawi (Yigal Naor). Later, Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller (Matt Damon) is threatened with a Beretta after he is abducted by Al-Rawi's men. Freddy (Khalid Abdalla) also uses a Beretta towards the end of the film. Roy also uses it as his sidearm but never fired it in the movie.
Glock 17
Members of Miller's MET-D unit appear to use Glock 17 pistols as their sidearms, which is an inaccuracy, since they should be using the Beretta 92FS instead. Some Green Zone security guards also have Glocks in their holsters, while Major Briggs (Jason Isaacs) has a Glock holstered on his tactical vest.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Major Briggs (Jason Isaacs), an American Special Forces officer, uses a Heckler & Koch MP5A3 with RIS handguard, Surefire weaponlight and an ACOG scope as his primary weapon.
Heckler & Koch MP5A2
Heckler & Koch MP5A2s are used by the private military contractors guarding Iraqi and American officials.
Norinco Type 56-1
Norinco Type 56-1 rifles, distinguished by their hooded sights and handguards, are used by most of the Iraqi gunmen. Roy Miller takes one from his captors and uses it when he attempts to track down General Al-Rawi during a battle between Iraqi insurgents and American special forces soldiers.
M4A1 Carbine
Miller and some of his men use M4A1 carbines with a variety of different sights and attachments. Miller's M4A1 is fitted with an ACOG sight and a flashlight.
The M4s in the movie all have A1-style lower receivers with the older-style 2-position collapsible buttstock, which means that they're actually M4 uppers on lower receiver units taken from older-model CAR-15 variants (the genuine mil-spec M4 was only ever available with the A2-style lower receiver and 4-position and later collapsible stock).
M16A2
M16A2 rifles are used by various American soldiers throughout the film. Wilkins (Jerry Della Salla) uses a M16A2 with an Aimpoint red dot optic mounted on the carry handle.
G&G M16A3/M203
One of the soldiers in Miller's MET-D unit uses what appears to be an M16A4 with an M203 grenade launcher. This is actually a G&G airsoft replica (incorrectly designated "M16A3" in their catalog); this is evident from the obvious G&P Marine EV trademarks visible on the magazine well.
Special Forces custom CAR-15s
Most of the Special Forces soldiers are armed with CAR-15-type carbines fitted with various accessories, including M68 Aimpoint red dot scopes and Surefire Universal weapon lights. A close inspection reveals that many of the non-firing CAR-15s used by the operators are actually Classic Army XM177 airsoft replica rifles. The firing weapons appear to be Colt Model 733s (or some other variant) fitted with XM177 flash hiders. It seems unusual that a well-equipped SF unit would be using such outdated AR-type rifles in 2003, especially since Miller's unit carries the more modern (and correct) U.S. military-standard M4 Carbine.
M249 SAW
One of Miller's MET-D soldiers is armed with the M249 SAW.
M24 Sniper Rifle
One of Miller's C-BIST team is armed with a M24 sniper rifle painted in desert camo. This is probably a regular Remington 700 fitted with an M24-style barrel, though it's hard to be certain.
Browning M2HB
The Browning M2HB is seen mounted on Humvees throughout the film.
RPG-7
Iraqi insurgents use a RPG-7 to shoot down an American Blackhawk during a gunbattle between them and American Special Forces.
Unknown hand grenade
When the special forces team attack the insurgent stronghold to free Miller, an insurgent drops a hand grenade on them. Since it is dark and barley seen, it is doubtfull if it will ever be identified.
Unknown flintlocks
Several flintlock weapons (unknown type) can be seen in the house of one of Al-Rawi's commanders when the MET-D unit raids the house.
