'''''Thunderheart''''' is a 1992 thriller directed by [[Michael Apted]] (''[[The World Is Not Enough]]'') starring [[Val Kilmer]], [[Sam Shepard]] and [[Graham Greene]]. Because this film appears to take place sometime in the mid-1970's, some of the weapons would be anachronistic (a portrait of Richard Nixon is hanging in an FBI office, indicating that the film takes place no later than 1974, yet a character listens to Bruce Springsteen's "Badlands" (released in 1978) while driving in a 1983 Ford Mustang).

Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe MGC M16 Assault rifle: a non firing metal replica built by the Model Gun Corp of Japan and one of the most used non firing replicas of the M16 in movies and television. The 'forward assist' on the early models like the one imaged here are bolt inserts to keep the receiver together. Modern MGC M16 replicas have improved by third parties over the years (like adding A1 flash hiders) making it more accurate to the real thing making it harder for 'Connoisseurs' to identifyError creating thumbnail: File missingThe GOON to the rear appears to be aiming a replica.
