Red Scorpion (1989)



Rifles

AO-63 assault rifle (mocked up FN FAL)

The prominent weapon used by Nikolai Rachenko (Dolph Lundgren) is in reality an FN FAL mocked up to resemble the Russian Avtomat AO-63 assault rifle. The FN FAL rifle has the muzzle modded to imitate twin barrels of the AO-63. The magazine also has its front slightly extended to form a foregrip. This can be seen if you click here at 01:45 seconds. Not to forget it is seen tested by Colonel Zayas (Carmen Argenziano) on the rifle range impressed by its performance. The filmmakers have also modified this gun with a Lewis gun's drum magazine and the pistol grip from an SS-77 general purpose machine gun. Although not related to the AO-63 but a Two barrel FN FAL does exist that was made by Winchester/Olin for US Army trials.

Trivia

  • Many of the 'Soviet' vehicles were on loan from the S.A.D.F.(South African Defense Forces).
  • The movie was funded by the anti-communist S.A.D.F. with the foundation ran by co-producer and future Washington DC lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who later would gain notoriety for being implicated in a scandal involving the bribery of US government officials.
  • Screenshots to be added
  • The 'Mil Mi-24 Hind' seen in the movie is mocked up from a Sikorsky S-62. The same modified helicopter can be seen in Braddock: Missing In Action 3 and Bulletproof (1988). (albeit less convincingly modified).
