The M4 didn't get a flat top until well after the M4A1 and they didn't start with flat tops either. Original M4s can been seen with slick side, A1, C7 or A2 uppers. Only the later model M4s and M4A1s have flat tops. --[[User:Zurak 47|Zurak 47]] 01:03, 21 July 2009 (UTC) | The M4 didn't get a flat top until well after the M4A1 and they didn't start with flat tops either.

:You're wrong there, Zurak. All but the very first batch of M4s delivered from Colt had flat top uppers. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] | :You're wrong there, Zurak. All but the very first batch of M4s delivered from Colt had flat top uppers. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] | ||
So I'm wrong.. but I'm right? Okay.... | |||
Anyways, first there was the M4s from the UAE with A2 uppers called the Abu Dahbi by troops, which Colt later renamed them 72? '''after''' the M4 was adopted(the 72X didn't show up in colt lierature before that), then there was the M4 from Colt with C7 uppers(no idea why), then special forces requested full auto guns, which were called M4A1s at some point, which still had C7 uppers, then the flat tops came into service with SF, and only after that did the regular M4 get them as well. But then there's there Air Force M4s, which are made out of whatever's laying around, so you get slick side and A1 uppers even after the flattop was standardized. There is no ''real'' designation for what the USAF does, atleast no concestansee, but let's be honest here, they're M4s no matter what 600 different markings can be found on them. --[[User:Zurak 47|Zurak 47]] 02:57, 1 August 2009 (UTC) | |||

Revision as of 02:57, 1 August 2009
Broken Arrow is a 1996 action/thriller directed by John Woo and starring John Travolta as USAF stealth bomber pilot Vic Deakins who, with the help of a group of well-financed mercenaries, steals the two hydrogen bombs he is flying. Christian Slater plays Riley Hale, his co-pilot, who survives the hijacking and teams up with a lone park ranger Terry Carmichael (Samantha Mathis) to chase after Deakins and recover the bombs before they are used against a major city.
The following weapons appear in the movie:
Suppressed pistol
One of Deakins' mercs uses an unidentified pistol fitted with suppressor to murder a man and a woman who are camping out. "Area secure." he deadpans into his radio.
Beretta Inox
Deakins uses a Beretta Inox to try to kill Hale before he hijacks the stealth bomber. Hale sees Deakins in the reflection of the window drawing the gun and is able to grab the gun, but after a short struggle Deakins ejects Hale, drops the two bombs so they can be recovered by his team and then ejects himself as the plane crashes into a mountain.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
The USAF Search and Recovery team that arrive at the crash site are carrying H&K MP5A3s. When they track down the missing nukes to a canyon, they are ambushed by Deakins' men, who have the higher ground and superior weaponry, and are wiped out.
Smith & Wesson Model 66
When she goes to arrest Hale for the crime of landing by parachute in a national park, Carmichael uses a 4" barreled Smith & Wesson Model 66 with Hogue grips. Hale manages to take the gun from her, but hands it back to prove he's on her side. When they are attacked by a Huey gunship, Hale asks Carmichael for her spare ammunition and uses the gun to shoot the helicopter pilot, causing the machine to crash.Hale uses the weapon again during the Humvee chase, but Deakins windshield is buletproof. During the chase through the copper mine, Hale uses the gun Akimbo-style with a SIG P220 he took off the Humvee driver.
Beretta M9
Chief Sam Rhodes (Vondie Curtis-Hall) uses a standard-issue Beretta M9 handgun during the canyon shootout. He is then shot point-blank by one of his own men, Kelly (Howie Long), also with a Beretta M9. Riley Hale (Christian Slater) also carries two M9s - one which he loses in the B3 stealth bomber when Vic Deakins (John Travolta) pulls his eject lever as he draws it, and another that he uses briefly after jumping aboard the train and saving Terry Carmichael (Samantha Mathis). When they are cornered by one of Deakins' men, he drops the gun only to grab Terry's hidden Sig-Sauer P228 and kill the gunman.
Sig-Sauer P220 series
A few Sig Sauer P220-series pistols are seen in both the hands of good and bad guys (and girls) alike throughout the movie. Riley Hale (Christian Slater) takes a P220 from a luckless Humvee driver when he hijacks the truck he's driving and shoots the driver in the foot when he holds Terry Carmichael (Samantha Mathis) at gunpoint. He then uses this gun and Terry's Smith and Wesson for much of the mine shootout. Later, Terry picks up a P228 from Max (Shaun Toub) after she kills him by launching a hammer at his head. When the finale begins, Terry and Hale both use the gun at one point or another; Terry effectively begins the climax of the finale by killing the train conductor (who had been shooting at her), forcing his body back onto the freight train's brakes.
M727 with M203 grenade launcher
Colonel Max Wilkins (Delroy Lindo) uses an M4 Carbine with an underslung M203 grenade launcher during the helicopter assault on Deakins' train. He shoots one bad guy with a burst of rifle fire, but doesn't use the launcher.
- The rail isnt removable, so it isnt an M4. M723 with m203 barrel grooves. The Winchester
The M4 didn't get a flat top until well after the M4A1 and they didn't start with flat tops either. Original M4s can been seen with slick side, A1, C7 or A2 uppers. Only the later model M4s and M4A1s have flat tops. --Zurak 47 01:03, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
- You're wrong there, Zurak. All but the very first batch of M4s delivered from Colt had flat top uppers. Spartan198
So I'm wrong.. but I'm right? Okay.... Anyways, first there was the M4s from the UAE with A2 uppers called the Abu Dahbi by troops, which Colt later renamed them 72? after the M4 was adopted(the 72X didn't show up in colt lierature before that), then there was the M4 from Colt with C7 uppers(no idea why), then special forces requested full auto guns, which were called M4A1s at some point, which still had C7 uppers, then the flat tops came into service with SF, and only after that did the regular M4 get them as well. But then there's there Air Force M4s, which are made out of whatever's laying around, so you get slick side and A1 uppers even after the flattop was standardized. There is no real designation for what the USAF does, atleast no concestansee, but let's be honest here, they're M4s no matter what 600 different markings can be found on them. --Zurak 47 02:57, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
Beretta M93R
Deakins uses a Beretta M93R during the train shootout towards the end of the film.
Ruger AC556
Deakins uses this weapon during the fight in the abandoned mines.
Beretta Model 12
A Beretta Model 12 SMG is used by one of Deakins' men, Johnson (Vyto Ruginis) as Hale and Carmichael are pursued throughout the underground mine. When Terry gets the drop on him as he searches for the pair, he and Terry briefly struggle for control of the weapon (alerting Hale to their position). Johnson overpowers Terry and aims to kill her before being wounded by Hale and forced to drop the weapon. Hale then discards Terry's Smith & Wesson for the M12 and uses it against Deakins briefly.
IMI Galil ARM
Mossberg 590
Actually, this may be a 500 without the stock...definitely not the Cruiser pictured below.
Kelly (Howie Long) uses a Mossberg 500 (or 590) shotgun with a pistol grip after losing his MP5A3 during the train shootout. He threatens to kill Deakins with the shotgun when he arms and refuses to shut down the nuclear missile, and then fires a few rounds when Hale distracts the both of them. After Hale kicks him off of the train (literally), Hale retrieves the weapon and forces Deakins into a corner before he threatens to detonate the nuke.
It's not a 500 or the 590 compact... It's a full sized 590 with heat shield and a cruiser pistol grip, look in front of the forearm there's a bayonet mount. There's something else attacted to the front of the barrel sticking out the side, between the magazine tube, that I can't identify thou. --Zurak 47 01:21, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
