Shaheed's militia use both AKMs and what looks to be original AK47s.

Revision as of 18:54, 2 August 2008
The weapons used in this movie are:
M9 Beretta
Used as the standard side arm by the SEALs
SIG P210
Used by a terrorist to execute a SIG P210 Pistol of the American Helicopter Crewmen.
Heckler & Koch MP5SD3
Used by the SEALs during the hostage rescue mission, On the Vehicle Board Search and Seizure and the mission in which they "kidnapped" the collaborator.
MP5K
Used by at least one of the SEALs during the hostage rescue mission.
Remington 870
Used by Hawkins (Charlie Sheen) as a backup weapon and door breach gun.
Colt Commando
Used in three scenes in the movie, carried with an M203 in the mission where chief is killed.
Barrett M82
Used by Dane, Codename "God", (Bill Paxton), the SEAL sniper to engage four targets during the hostage rescue mission and again during the Beirut mission. The weapon used is the first model Barrett, the M82 (the same used in the film RoboCop), outfitted with a Thermal Imaging Sight and a Night Vision Sight. The later version M82A1 is the most recognizable version of the semiautomatic Barrett Light Fifty rifle.
Contrary to popular belief SEALs do utilize the M82 .50 cal rifle for long range, and vehicle interdiction missions.
RPG-7
The RPG-7 is a rocket propelled grenade launcher used by the terrorists. The rockets show two distinct paint schemes, a darker green paint job, flaking off showing the original yellowish/OD Russian paint underneath.
AK47
Shaheed's militia use both AKMs and what looks to be original AK47s. They appear to be milled receiver AKs with Russian Front sights and double tang back ends with the typical 'drop down' angled buttstock and the swivel sling on the body, not the stock. They could have been Poly-Technology Legend series of AKs that were imported during the 1980s (this movie was shot in 1989 and released in 1990) but the Legend series of rifles were of the Type 56 "Pig Sticker" bayonet style. Like in the more recent movie We Were Soldiers the armorers could have used Milled receiver bodies and assembled AKs from Russian Parts kits. Since this film was done in the 1980s when real Soviet/Russian weapons parts were illegal to import, they could have fabricated the parts themselves. Also the sequence that was supposed to be Beirut was shot in Spain, and the production could have used weapons provided by European Armorers (who at the time had no restrictions on acquiring Soviet/Russian guns)
AKMS
Used extensively during the Beirut Mission by both SEALs and the Opposition Force fighters
