Maximum Overdrive is a 1986 horror film starring Emilio Estevez as Bill Robinson, who finds himself among other human survivors of an all out attack from machines and vehicles that have seemingly taken on a life of their own. The film was notable for being the only film directed by Stephen King, who loosely based it on one of his short stories.
The following weapons were used in the film Maximum Overdrive:
Launchers
M72A1 LAW
M72A1 LAW rocket launchers are used in the film by several characters including Bubba Hendershot (Pat Hingle) and Bill Robinson (Emilio Estevez). The LAW is a disposable, one-shot shoulder-fired weapon, but is seen reloaded in the film several times (with dummy M1 Bazooka rockets) well as being fired from the hip.
Machine Guns
M60
An M274 "Mechanical Mule" utility carrier is seen firing a mounted M60 at the survivors in the truck stop diner.
Valmet M78/83
Brad (Leon Rippy) carries a Valmet M78/83 with SVD stock and scope at the films climax. This is likely the same M78 used in Hard Target.
Submachine Guns
Sterling
Deke (Holter Graham) uses a Sterling SMG on a drive-thru speaker and later hands the gun over to Brett (Laura Harrington). Bill Robinson (Emilio Estevez) is also is seen carrying the weapon.
Uzi
Curt (John Short) uses an IMI Uzi to shoot up the ice cream truck.
Sten Mk II
The Sten Mk II is seen in the basement arms cache and is carried by Joe (Pat Miller), but not fired.
Madsen M50
A Madsen M50 is seen in the armory down in the basement.
Rifles / Carbines
M16A1
There are at least two M16A1s are seen in the diner's basement arms cache.
M16A2
Curt (John Short) carries an M16A2 when he and Bill (Emilio Estevez) attempts to rescue the bible salesman. Bill also threatens Hendershot (Pat Hingle) with an M16A2 down in the basement. This seems to be one of the first appearances of an M16A2 (probably a civilian HBAR), considering the A2 upper receiver, the improved grip and the heavy barrel.
L1A1
Handy (Frankie Faison) holds an L1A1 rifle, but is not seen firing it.
Colt Model 607
The Colt Model 607 is also seen on gun rack next to the M16A1's down in the basement. Also carried by Andy (J. Don Ferguson) during the climax.
