:Actually I do not believe they were either M-14s or Beretta BM59s. The BM-59 was not available in the US until the mid-late 80s and, at the time the movie was made, likewise for the M-14/M-1A. If you look closely these appear to be M-1 Garands with some sort of mocked up flash suppressor and extended magazine attached. Something similar was seen in the movie adaptation of "A Rumor of War" when the M-14 was not available similar faux weapons were used. Also you see, among other weapons, a standard M-1 Garand and an M-1 carbine (particularly in the first pic). --[[User:Charon68|Charon68]] 10:08, 7 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
