Barrett M82CQ

This .50BMG Rifle designed by Barrett Firearms is a Close Quarters Combat version of the M82A1M/M82A3, easily distinguished by the short barrel. It is used by the SAS-Trained Sniper 'Schoolboy' (Matthew Marsden) throughout the film.

AKM

Rubber AK

  • Obvious in many shots there are many RUBBER AKs/Type 56s/AKMs. Most noticeable because their trigger guards are thicker than normal and sometimes the front sight has no hole and are solid rubber blocks.

More rubber AK rifles, the front sights on these have a hole in them

Norinco Type 56

  • There are many AK types in the movie, and upon further study, most of the models will be identified. But one of the obvious ones is the Norinco Type 56. It is obvious in the hands of some of the Burmese Junta soldiers and during the final battle En-Joo (Tim Kang) grabs one and fights with it.

Modified AK

  • Myint (Supakorn Kitsuwon), the Karen Rebel leader carries a cut down AKM (probably modified from an original Norico Type 56-1 converted to full auto) and appears to be the same short rifle that Claire Danes fires in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. It is NOT an AKS-74U and there is no such rifle as an AKS-47U like the airsoft weapon we sometimes see. What is confusing is that it has the non-ribbed folding stock like the Norinco and the non-ribbed dust cover, but the front sight is definitely a .5" AKM style and not the .75" Type 56 style, but since it is a custom gun, it could be built from parts of several guns. It is probably the same rifle as T3 since Harry Lu was the armorer for this movie and Mike Papac was the armorer on T3 and they both work with Syd Stembridge and each other.

Rambo uses a Claymore mine to set a boobytrap for the pursuing soldiers. He has a secondary small charge on the back of the mine.

M67 Hand Grenade

  • En-Joo (Tim Kang) grabs an "M67 Grenade" from a pouch and throws it. But in the shot it's an obvious M69 Metal training grenade (even visible with the 'blue' paint of the inert model).

British Tallboy Bomb

  • One of the first bunker buster bombs, the British Tallboy "Earthquake" bomb was 21 feet long and weight 5 tons and was used by the R.A.F. in 1944. The one seen in the film is halfway submerged in the soft jungle earth and extends 10 feet high. Though people thought that the explosion mimicked a nuclear explosion more than anything, a 5 ton conventional bomb is a massive explosion that resembles a small nuke blast.

FN MAG

  • Clearly seen on the Burmese Patrol boat. It's a FN MAG-58 with an M240 style flash hider. Sly, in all his greatness, claimed in the commentary that this gun was stronger than the M2HB, and that Rambo overcame a great odd. Yet an FN MAG fires .308 while an M2HB fires .50 BMG.

Browning M2HB

  • The Browning M2HB .50 Cal machine gun used in the film has an Anti Aircraft style perforated shroud around the barrel and a Muzzle Brake (similar to a Barrett M82A1) to divert the flash to the sides, especially useful if you're shooting from behind an armored shield and your only viewable area is directly above the barrel.
