Revision as of 05:42, 2 July 2010
The following weapons were used in the movie Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins:
M1911
Remo Williams (Fred Ward) is given a Colt 1911 .45 Semi-automatic to shoot at Chiun (Joel Grey) in their inital meeting. Chiun dodges every shot which is part of his knowledge of the fictitious "sinaju" martial art. Grove later tries to shoot Remo at the film's end. Interesting to note is that the number of shots by both Remo & Grove are errors: Remo fires 8 at Chiun, who pops 3 further shots from the magazine after ejecting it. Grove fires 9 shots at Remo, who does the same thing his master did earlier, only he ejects 2 additional rounds. The pistol itself only hold a maximum of 8 shots.
Steyr AUG
The fictional "AR-60" weapon provided by Grove Industries (the villainous corporation of the film) to the US Army is in actuality the Steyr AUG with a mocked up muzzle break, which blows up in the face of a soldier because of a defective bolt assembly.
M16A1
A US soldier is ordered to open fire on Remo with his M16A1, but refuses. Grove takes the weapon from the soldier and fires it at Remo.
Browning M2HB
After the M16A1's ammo is exhausted, Grove uses the jeep-mounted Browning M2HB (with a custom barrel sleeve) on Remo. The barrel sleeve/heat shield is actually slightly different than what is attached to real AN-M2/M3 variants of the gun.
