Revision as of 10:41, 18 January 2009
SIG SG 510
During the attack on the barracks, a Mercenary carries a StG 57/SIG SG 510 Assault rifle.
MAC-10
L1A1 SLR
There is a huge mix of all manners of FAL rifles in the film. The Mercenaries use a mix of LAR, FAL 50.00 and L1A1s so some of them are firing semi auto and others are firing full automatic.
FN FAL 50.61
Some of the Mercenaries and nearly all of the Simbas (General Endoufa's crack troops) carry the FN FAL 50.61 paratrooper rifle. This is odd, since the junta's forces are being aided by the Soviet Bloc (note the Cuban and East German military Advisors), thus it would have been more likely that the junta's soldiers are issued AK47s or other Combloc weapon.
FN LAR
Col. Allen Faulkner (Richard Burton) as well as many of the Mercenaries carry the FN LAR automatic rifle (early FAL variant)
FN FAL 50.00
Hardy Krueger as Lt. Pieter Coetze is using a FN FAL 50.00.
R1 Battle Carbine
This weapon is a chopped down L1A1 SLR with a special sight and is used by the Ex SAS member Tosh Donalson played by Ian Yule who in real life was a Mercenarie in the Congo during the 1960s under the command of Major Mike Hoare. It was said that Tosh was supposed to have this R1 variant as he is ex-SAS which made him special. I heard this weapon was an experimental weapon for South African Paratroops but never got adopted.
R-1 Battle Rifle. Full sized FN-FAL metric variant. Originally wooden stocked later issued with synthetic stock and often camoflaged by the end user with a hand applied series of paints.

Bren Gun
Uzi
Richard Burton as Col. Allen Faulkner and Richard Harris as Capt. Rafer Janders are using Uzi submachine guns.
Walther P38 with Suppressor
Roger Moore as Lt. Shawn Fynn is using a silenced Walther P38 during the scene when his group takes control over the airport.
Colt M1911
Roger Moore as Lt. Shawn Fynn is using a Colt M1911.
SA-25 submachine gun
A Czechoslovakian Sa.23 submachine gun with a wooden stock is seen in the parachute harness of a mercenary as they prepare to do a halo jump from the C-130 transport plane. It is the 23 model because it is 9mm parabellum, the later 7.25 Tokarev model has a slanted pistol grip and magazine. While it might be unusual for one of the mercenaries to be carrying a communist weapon, the design was actually sold to and adopted by South Africa during that time period. Some may think it is a South African Sanna-77 submachine gun. [Sanna 77] The Sanna-77 was supposed to be an indigenous Submachine gun, however many claim that is was merely an updated Sa.24 (folding stock 9mm). This is unlikely since the Sanna-77 was only manufactured in a folding stock version.
Madsen M50
Sterling L2A1
Jack Watson as RSM Sandy Young is using a Sterling L2A1.
Vickers Gun
A Vickers machine gun is used by the Mercenaries in the final crossfire against the Simbas.
FN MAG
Unknown Bazooka
Mk II hand grenade
Mostly seen used by Rafer Jaunders when he and Allan Faulkner rescue Shawn Fynn.
