Bravo Two Zero was a British "made for Television Movie" in 1999 by the BBC. It chronicles the heroic mission of British SAS commandos dropped behind Iraqi lines during the First Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm 1990-1991). This unit later became the most highly decorated British Military Patrol unit since the last Boer War (1899-1902). It starred Sean Bean as SAS Commando Andy McNab.
The following weapons are used in Bravo Two Zero:
M16A2/M203
M16A2s with M203 grenade launchers are used by the majority of the British SAS patrol, including Andy McNab (Sean Bean) and Chris Ryan (Kevin Collins).
FN Minimi
Three FN Minimi light machine guns are among the complement of weapons carried by the patrol.
M72 LAW
LAW 66 rocket launchers are used by the SAS troops to halt the advance of attacking Iraqi armor, knocking out a BMP and a truck during a brief skirmish.
Norinco Type 84
Most of the Kalashnikov-style rifles used in the film are actually Chinese made Norinco Type 84s, distinguished by their 5.56 magazines.
