Valley of the Wolves: Iraq (Turkish: Kurtlar Vadisi: Irak) is a 2006 Turkish action film directed by Serdar Akar that centers around a former Turkish intelligence agent (Necati Sasmaz) who leads a commando team into Iraq to seek revenge on an American spy (Billy Zane) for the detention and humiliation of Turkish soldiers. The film gained some notoriety when it was released for its strongly anti-US tone, including depictions of US soldiers abusing prisoners, killing civilians, engaging in organ trafficking, among other atrocities.
The following weapons are seen in the film Valley of the Wolves: Iraq:
Handguns
Beretta 92FS
The Beretta 92FS is used by Lieutenant Suleyman Aslan (Tayfun Eraslan), one of the Turkish soldiers arrested by the Americans, to shoot himself out of shame at the beginning of the film. Memati (Gurkhan Uygun), one of the protagonists, also uses a Beretta 92FS as his main weapon throughout the film. These pistols are likely replicas due to the large amounts of sparks and smoke that they generate when fired.
Umarex GPDA
Polat Alemdar (Necati Sasmaz) and his fellow agents Erhan (Erhan Ufak) and Abdulhey (Kenan Coban) all use Umarex GPDA pistols throughout the film, Abdulhey using a nickel-plated version. Colonel Sam William Marshall (Billy Zane) also uses a GPDA to shoot a man he suspects of collaborating with the Turks.
Unknown revolver
Colonel Marshall uses an unknown revolver during the finale. Like the other handguns in the film, it is likely a replica of some kind.
Rifles
Heckler & Koch G36C (possibly airsoft)
US Army special forces soldiers use the Heckler & Koch G36C when they arrest a team of Turkish troops in Iraqi Kurdistan. Since the rifles are never fired, it is likely that these are airsoft G36Cs that are made by several companies, most notably Umarex.
M16A2
Most of the US Army soldiers in the film wield M16A2 rifles with attached flashlights.
M16A1 (With M16A2 Handguards)
When the M16A2s are fired, they turn into M16A1 rifles with M16A2 handguards. The US Army special forces soldiers that attack an Iraqi village in the finale are largely armed with the M16A1 as well.
Colt Model 715/Diemaco C7
At least one of the US Army soldiers uses a Colt Model 715/Diemaco C7, meant to resemble an M16A2, when firing.
M4A1 carbine
Some of the US Army soldiers use M4A1 carbines with flashlights and red dot sights mounted on the handguard. Like the M16A2, these are never shown firing during the film.
Colt Model 723
Polat uses a Colt Model 723 carbine during the finale. As with many weapons in the film, the Colt Model 723 may be yet another replica due to its similarity with the cap-firing MGC M16A2 Carbine. Anachronistically, US Army soldiers are also seen with the Colt Model 723, when an M4A1 Carbine would be more accurate.
AK-47
Various Kurdish Peshmerga fighters and Iraqi civilians are seen wielding non-firing AK-47 and AKS-47 rifles.
AKMS
AKMS rifles are used during firing scenes, most noticeably when Polat uses one to kill a Peshmerga officer at a roadblock. Dante (Diego Serrano) also uses one to shoot up a container truck full of prisoners being transferred to a clinic for the doctor (Gary Busey).
Unknown sniper rifle
Polat uses a bolt-action sniper rifle of unknown make and model during an attempt to assassinate Colonel Marshall when he meets with Iraqi officials.
Machine Guns
MG3
A Turkish soldier uses a MG3 machine gun while facing off against American soldiers in the introduction.
Fake Browning M2 Heavy Machine Gun
Browning M2 heavy machine guns are mounted on American Humvees. The weapons are smaller than the real M2, and are thus, clearly fakes.
Fake NSV Heavy Machine Gun
Another weapon mounted on the faux Humvees is a machine gun that resembles a NSV heavy machine gun.
Other
M72 LAW
US Army special forces soldiers use M72 LAW rocket launchers to destroy civilian buildings in the finale. This is anachronistic, as the M136 AT4 replaced the M72 LAW in the US military by the time the Iraq War started.
