To anyone that has read the book, Clancy wrote that most of the reciprocity teams, including Chavez, used MP5SD's. There were also I believe two saw gunners, and the rest had M16A2's. There was never anybody with an M24. Also, they didn't wear woodland, they wore olive drab which after a while blended in better because of local dirt and vegetation. This wasn't a correction of any gun id's, just pointing out that movie directors and armorers don't read books.

Clear and Present Danger is the 1994 follow-up to 1992's Patriot Games that once again stars Harrison Ford as CIA analyst Jack Ryan. In order to the avenge the assassination of his close friend, the President of the United States covertly declares war on the Colombian Drug Cartel Lindo. When Admiral James Greer (James Earl Jones) is diagnosed with cancer, CIA analyst Jack Ryan (Harrison Ford) assumes the position Acting Deputy Director Intelligence of the CIA. There, he is misled to believe that there will be a "no-troops" enforcement for aiding Colombia. Instead, Robert Ritter, the CIA Deputy Director of Operations, employs former CIA operative John Clark (Willem Dafoe) to lead a Special Ops team to take out Cartel targets in Colombia. When the team is betrayed and Ryan discovers the lies, he heads to Colombia to rescue the surviving members. The Jack Ryan character would appear in three other movies: Patriot Games, The Hunt for Red October and The Sum of All Fears.
