Is it REALLY a MAT-49?
Just by looking at the barrel, the magazine well, and the bolt, this doesn't look like a MAT-49 at all... -SeptemberJack (talk) 19:47, 15 August 2017 (EDT)
- As far, as I know, MAT49 is the only SMG with a foldin magazine. Pyramid Silent (talk) 23:44, 15 August 2017 (EDT)
PPS-43
The SMG looks similar to PPS-43 but it seem to have the pistol grip and the magazine well very close to each other, more close than on PPS. It is just a visual effect? Maybe we can see this SMG on another angle? Greg-Z (talk) 03:43, 16 August 2017 (EDT)
M16
M16s are most likely Philippine-made Elisco M16A1s. Greg-Z (talk) 03:43, 16 August 2017 (EDT)
Mortar
2B14 Podnos Mortar cannot appear in 1985 Philippines-filmed movie. This must be some old 81mm mortar of US origin, issued to Philippines army. Greg-Z (talk) 00:12, 16 August 2017 (EDT) M1 Mortar, I guess. Greg-Z (talk) 03:43, 16 August 2017 (EDT)
Artillery
Field cannons are 105 mm M2A1 (redesignating M101A1) howitzers. Heavy cannons on second and third screenshots need more research, but I think that these are mockups, resembling WW1 era siege mortars. Greg-Z (talk) 03:43, 16 August 2017 (EDT)
Armor
The vehicle doesn't seem to have a large turret so it is possibly tracked APC, not a tank. Greg-Z (talk) 03:43, 16 August 2017 (EDT)
