Revision as of 00:13, 20 August 2009
The following weapons were used in the 1985 film Spies Like Us.
M16A1
The United States soldiers seen during Emmett Fitz-Hume (Chevy Chase) and Austin Millbarge's (Dan Aykroyd) training are carrying M16A1's, such as those seen running around the base. Also, M16's are one of the many rifles used by the Mujahideen warriors.
M1 Carbine
Several of the Mujahideen are seen wielding M1 Carbines.
AK-47/Type 56
AK-47's can be seen in the hands of the Soviet soldiers escorting the SS-50 rocket at the beginning of the film. Oddly enough, they are seen using Chinese Type56's at the end of the film. Also, some of the Mujahideen are carrying AK-47's/Type-56's. For the time period that this film is set in (1985), the Soviet soldiers should be usingAK-74's.
Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE)
Several of the Mujahideen can be seen using Lee-Enfield's, and later the rifle is seen in the hands of the Turkish soldiers at the guard post.
Sten
A small number of the Mujahideen are seen with Sten submachine guns.
Sterling SMG
Some of the Mujahideen, (most notably the unlucky one who is swept off the Ambulance by a tree branch), are using Sterling submachine guns.
MAC-10
The "GLG-20's" Jerry Hadley (Charles McKeown) and Karen Boyer (Donna Dixon) use MAC-10's when Soviet troops discover the spies while infiltrating the Soviet Union. Austin later uses one in his corageous attempt to rescue Emmett from the Soviet border guards.
Tokarev TT-33
The Soviet KGB Agents are seen using Tokarev TT-33 pistols after Emmett and Austin discover their contacts' true loyalties while in Pakistan. The agents are also seen using the pistols later at the highway patrol office. They should, however, be using Makarovs.
M1911
During Emmett and Austin's training, Colonel Rhombus (Bernie Casey) fires a nickel plated M1911 with ivory grips at their feet to pursuade them to jump into the mud pit.
RPG-7
Some of the Mujahideen are seen carrying RPG-7s.
Uknown M16 Variant
The guards at the abandoned outdoor theater are using an M16 variant. Most likely a carbine variant.
Unidentified Rifle
I am not familiar with pre-WWI firearms, so if someone could identify the rifles in the below picture, it would be greatly appreciated.
