Basic is a 2003 thriller directed by John McTiernan and stars John Travolta as a DEA agent and former Army Ranger who is asked to interrogate Special Forces soldiers about an incident during a training mission that resulted in casualties. Samuel L. Jackson co-stars as the Army drill instructor who is at the center of the incident. The cast included Giovanni Ribisi, Taye Diggs, Brian Van Holt, Roselyn Sanchez, Cristián de la Fuente, Dash Mihok, and Connie Nielsen.
The following weapons were used in the movie Basic:
Colt 1911A1
Veteran Drill Instructor Master Sergeant West, (Samuel L. Jackson), carries a Colt M1911A1 in a black holster on his hip. He fires it at Nuñez, (Roselyn Sanchez), during a version of what happened.
Cobray Launcher
Every Ranger on the training mission have Cobray 37mm Launchers attached to their M4 rifles standing in for the M203.
Colt M4A1
All of the Rangers carry M4A1s into the field for the operation. All of them have an ACOG sight attached to the carry handle and a Cobray CM203 launcher. MSG West's rifle has what appears to be an ELCAN C79 sight on top of his rifle however this may be a more streamlined ACOG as well. MSG West gets a hold of one after killing Pike (Taye Diggs), during a version of the operation. Hardy also has one hanging on his wall at his apartment, which is understandable, as he is in “Cocaine Central” and would need protection. A sound error means that spent casings can be clearly heard hitting hard ground even in scenes in muddy jungle where it is raining very heavily.
Beretta 92FS
The U.S. military’s standard sidearm, the Beretta 92FS is used by almost every character in the movie. It is seen in the hands and holsters of Rangers, MPs, and everyone in-between.
Colt M16A2
The M16A2 carried by Castro and other Army personnel.
M18 Smoke Grenade
A yellow M18 Smoke Grenade is seen on Castro’s LBV.
White Phosphorous Grenade
Every Ranger carries a M34 White Phosphorus Grenade into the field and they are a major plot device to as who used one to possibly kill MSG West.
