:''Sorry but isn't that an AK-47???'' [[User: Charon68|Charon68]]
It looks like an AK-47 because the R5 which is based off of the Galil, is itself based off the AK-47 frame.


-Only most remotely. R5's have steel skeleton stocks, and synthetic fore grips. They also don't have the angled AK front sight on the barrel, the R series and the Galil have their sights on the gas tube. The red silhouette is definitely an AK, not an R series rifle.
:I agree, that is most definitely an AK-47.  The R-4 series (and therefore the Galil) may have their actions based off of the AK-47, but they do not truly resemble it.[[User:SAWGunner89|SAWGunner89]] 15:26, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Starship Troopers 3: Marauder (2008)

Starship Troopers 3: Marauder is the 2008 DTV sequel to 1997's Starship Troopers. Casper Van Dien returns as Col. Johnny Rico, a war hero in the seemingly never-ending battle against a race of enormous bugs known as the Arachnids. In the film, Col. Rico and his squad of troopers are called into action by his old friend Gen. Dix Hauser (Boris Kodjoe) to rescue Starship Captain Lola Beck (Jolene Blalock) and her crew from a bug infested nightmare. The film was made in South Africa, thus many of the weapons seen were of this country's origin.



Morita Mk. III

The primary weapon of the mobile infantry in Starship Troopers 3: Marauder, is the Morita Mk. III. It closely resembles the Objective Individual Combat Weapon, complete with grenade launcher and a long scope (which never seems to used by any troopers, apparently aiming is purely optional in the Mobile Infantry).


The weapon itself is actually a Vektor R5 assault rifle, a South African variant of the Galil assault rifle, housed in a very bulky looking gun mold.
