Invasion U.S.A. is a 1985 action film starring Chuck Norris as the only man who can stop a terrorist invasion of the continental United States. While there was a 1952 film of the same name, the only common elements were an invasion on American soil by Soviet/Communist commandos using conventional weapons and the attempts by brave Americans to fight them off. The Georgia Army National Guard provided a massive amount of assistance to the production, which including several Huey gunships, M60 tanks, APC's, and numerous soldiers.
The following weapons were used in the film Invasion U.S.A.:
WARNING! POSSIBLE SPOILERS
Micro Uzi
Matt Hunter(Chuck Norris) carries dual Micro Uzi's in a special shoulder rig while engaging the terrorists.
Custom Underslung "Grenade" launcher
Underslung to both M16A1s and M16/SP1 slab sided rifles is an unusual custom 'grenade launcher'. Seen used by the terrorist throughout the film. In the final battle one is used by Rostov (Richard Lynch) on a slab sided SP1 rifle with a three prong flash hider. Another is used by Matt Hunter (Chuck Norris) on an M16A1 rifle with a birdcage flash hider. It is a simple tube that is attached to the barrel (via cutting holes in the A1 style handguards) and has a pistol frame grip to hold onto.
M60 Machine Gun
Seen used mounted on vehicles, static post mounts and free hand by U.S. Soldiers and National Guardsmen.
Browning M2
The Browning M2 is mounted on M60 tanks and Armored Personnel Carriers (provided by the Georgia Army National Guard) as the US military engages the terrorists.
AK-47
Carried by Terrorists
Ruger AC556
Carried by Terrorists
General Electric M85
Seen mounted on turrets of M60 tanks
Mossberg 500 Shotgun
Carried by Terrorists
Ithaca 37 Shotgun
Carried by Terrorists and used by 'fake' cops to massacre Hispanic club members to incite a riot
High Standard Model 10B Shotgun
Carried by Terrorists
Valmet M78 LMG
Carried by Terrorists
Gewehr 98
Interestingly enough, it appears that one terrorist in the mass crowd scene is carrying a bolt action Gewehr 98!
Fictional Rocket Launcher Type 1
Mikhail Rostov (Richard Lynch) uses a fictional mocked up launcher designed to slightly resemble an SA-7 Grail (Streyla) or Armbrust missile launcher, except he uses it in a direct fire role and he fires it multiple times without reloading.
Fictional Rocket Launcher Type 2
During the attack on the Central Command Center in Atlanta, Rostov picks up and uses a launcher that is very similar to the previous one, but not exactly the same. It has specific design differences. This could be the secondary mockup, since this one does not fire, whereas the slightly different one before is set up to fire pyrotechnical charges.
M72 LAW Rocket
Used twice during the final battle by Hunter. Hunter first used one to destroy Rostov's helicopter. The second time was when Hunter took it from a terrorist he killed and uses it against Rostov. Also used by US Army and National Guard troops during that occasion.
MAC-10
Used by terrorists.
M1911A1 Pistol
Seen in holsters of U.S. ARMY and National Guard troops. One with a scope is also seen used by a terrorist disguised in military fatigues.
Smith & Wesson M76 Submachine Gun
Used by terrorists. Some of them had shortened barrels.
Carl Gustav M/45 submachine gun
Used by terrorists.
Valmet M76F/RK62 assault rifle
Seen in Airboat assault scene and in the opening scene, used by the fake coastguard crew.
[1] note how the shooter has the fire selector set to "safe" in this screengrab.
