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 (Vektor R5)
The primary weapon used by the Mobile Infantry in the film is the Morita Mk. III. The rifle bears a resemblence to 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.
Vektor CP1 pistol
The Vektor CP1 pistol was seen on numerous occasions in Starship Troopers 3 with the pistol being seen in the hands of Federation military officers.
