It looks to me like a Mk 18 Mod 1, just with a Geissele rail instead of an RIS II. But what should we call that configuration? "Mk 18 URG-I"? I don't believe "Mk 18 Mod 2" would be appropriate since I can't find any picture evidence of Mk 18s with Geissele SMRs in army use.

The BCM ARs
If Xtreme Props provided the weapons for this movie (as they evidently did), I would expect that the ARs in this movie are not factory BCM guns, but more likely the 8" Taran Tactical Innovations BCM TR-1 SBR carbines that Xtreme Props previously provided for The Fate of the Furious and Line of Duty. Of course, for this movie, they've clearly been re-configured with HERA Arms CQR furniture, plus the V Seven HELIOS compensators, ACOGs, etc. I'm not on IG, but it looks like they posted pics of the guns on their feed - anyone who's an IG user wanna grab those pics and post them here? -MT2008 (talk) 23:38, 9 July 2021 (EDT)
- Also: Chris Pratt's sidearm in this movie appears to be a Kimber Warrior SOC (there's pictures of that gun on Xtreme Props' IG, too, if anyone wants to take a look). -MT2008 (talk) 23:42, 9 July 2021 (EDT)
- I was planning to upload a BCM picture; I'll do it in a bit. These are definitely not TTI builds though: this image shows BCM markings on the magwell (and not the TTI ones), and there's no mention of Taran Tactical among the tags featured in the relevant IG post. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 06:48, 10 July 2021 (EDT)
I see we're back to bottomless mags
Everyone (including supposed SF guy Pratt) just blasts away on full auto and no one in the movie ever seems to reload. Ah, classic 80s tropes! Spartan198 (talk) 15:42, 12 July 2021 (EDT)
Geissele AR
It looks to me like a Mk 18 Mod 1, just with a Geissele rail instead of an RIS II. But what should we call that configuration? "Mk 18 URG-I"? I don't believe "Mk 18 Mod 2" would be appropriate since I can't find any picture evidence of Mk 18s with Geissele SMRs in army use. Spartan198 (talk) 01:00, 15 July 2021 (EDT)
