M1911A1
The M1911A1 appears in the film as the sidearm of then-Lieutenant Terry Childers (Samuel L. Jackson) in Vietnam. Childers uses the M1911A1 to force NVA Colonel Binh Le Cao (Baoan Coleman) to order his men to disengage after they ambush the U.S Marines being led by then-Lieutenant Hayes Hodges (Tommy Lee Jones)
