Revision as of 04:45, 6 August 2008
The Following Weapons were used in the film:
M16A2
- Standard weapon of US military personnel, most notably the US Marines on the Naval Vessels.
Beretta M9
- Standard sidearm of US military personnel.
Norinco Type 56
- The Chinese AK/AKM variant, the Type 56 (and 56-1 the folding stock version) are the most commonly seen AK47/AKM rifle in movies and television (at least those done by U.S. Production companies). The Type 56 (fullstock) version is commonly seen in the movie, usually in the hands of terrorists of many different stripes. Terrorist guards from several organizations are seen wielding the weapon in Rangoon, Islamic Extremists in a mountain fortress in Tajikistan, and North Korean Soldiers.
AK-47
- In addition to the many Norinco Type 56 Chinese AK rifles, terrorists are also seen wielding what looks like original milled receiver AK-47 rifles with original front sights (not the hooded Type 56 sights). However, being how 'new' they look, they can be the third pattern AK-47 "Legend Series" rifles imported by Poly Technologies, Inc, between 1988-1989. Those were high end identical clones of the original AK-47 rifles but very few were imported.
- This movie was filmed mostly in Australia, and weapons were supplied by Aussie armorers. John Bowring (who also worked on The Matrix) was lead armorer on Stealth. I have no idea if the Legend series were ever exported for civilian/cinema use to Australia.
Long Barreled AK Variant
- Tajikistan terrorists are seen using an unusual hybrid type of AK-47 rifle. It has an underfolding stock and a long barrel but no bipod.
Sa vz 58
- Carried by Tajikistan terrorists at the mountain fortress.
SKS Rifle
- Carried by Tajikistan terrorists, they appear to be the Russian built SKS rifles with laminated stocks and full blade bayonets.
Heckler & Koch MP7
- Carried and used by Lt. Kara Wade (Jessica Biel) when she is shot down over North Korean Territory.
- I don't think that's a production MP7. It's actually the PDW, the prototype version of the MP7. You can tell if you look closely above the forward grip; it has three slits that run in a straight line, rather than three in a "V"-shaped formation. It's also missing the thicker butt cap on the stock. John Bowring told MadOgre that he got his hands on some prototype PDWs which he wanted to use for the two Matrix sequels, but Rock Galotti chose Micro Uzis instead for the scenes filmed in America. Maybe Bowring decided to use the PDWs for this film instead?
Colt M733
- Though the official Colt 733 was 11.5" we see 10" M16 short carbines, in the hands of covert ops thugs in Alaska.
- It's been three years since I saw this movie, but I think I remember the weapons in this scene being the 9mm Colt subguns (RO635 or whatever they're called). Do you have a screencap showing the mags in better detail?
DHSk Machine gun
- Seen most notably at the North Korean Border outpost.
Oerlikon 20 mm cannon
- At the mountain fortress, there are several gunners who are manning World War Two vintage Oerlikon 20 mm cannons.
SA-7 Launcher
SVD
Calico M-960A Submachine Gun
