Nice, but where's the trigger? This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it. |
The following firearms were seen in the film Air America:
M16A1
Carried by the soldiers of Laotian General Soong (Burt Kwouk).
M1911A1 pistol
M60 machine gun
Seen used by Laotian rebels and carried by Gene as he prepares to sell of his cache of weapons.
M1 Garand
Carried by the soldiers of Laotian General Soong.
M1 Carbine
Seen in the hands of Laotian soldiers.
Uzi submachine gun
Seen in the hands of Air America pilots Gene Ryack (Mel Gibson) and Babo (Tim Thomerson). The Uzi was officially adopted in 1951 by the Israeli Army. Since the film takes place in 1969, it is not unreasonable that a gunrunner would be able to have one in Laos during the time of the Vietnam War.
AK-47
Seen in the hands of many characters in the film include NVA soldiers, Viet Cong guerrillas and Laos villagers as well as Air America pilot Babo (Tim Thomerson).
PPS-43
The brother-in-law of Gene Ryack (Mel Gibson) offers a case of PPS-43's machine guns for Gene to buy.
Unknown Rifle
A Laotian peasant shoots down an Air America plane with his rifle at the beginning of the film.
Flintlock Rifle
French Flintlock Rifles designed for desert warfare are used by a Laotian tribe with outdated weapons that dont work in the rain.
