Invasion U.S.A. is a 1985 action film starring Chuck Norris as the only man who can stop a terrorist invasion of the continental United States. While there was a 1952 film of the same name, the only common elements were an invasion on American soil by Soviet/Communist commandos using conventional weapons and the attempts by brave Americans to fight them off. The Georgia Army National Guard provided a massive amount of assistance to the production, which including several Huey gunships, M60 tanks, APC's, and numerous soldiers.


The following weapons were used in the film Invasion U.S.A.:

After Matt Hunter (Chuck Norris) runs out of ammo, he lays down the Micro Uzi Pistols and picks up another weapon.

Custom Underslung "Grenade" launcher

Underslung to both M16A1s and M16/SP1 slab sided rifles is an unusual custom 'grenade launcher'. Seen used by the terrorist throughout the film. In the final battle one is used by Rostov (Richard Lynch) on a slab sided SP1 rifle with a three prong flash hider. Another is used by Matt Hunter (Chuck Norris) on an M16A1 rifle with a birdcage flash hider. It is a simple tube that is attached to the barrel (via cutting holes in the A1 style handguards) and has a pistol frame grip to hold onto.

Fictional Rocket Launcher Type 1

Mikhail Rostov (Richard Lynch) uses a fictional mocked up launcher designed to slightly resemble an SA-7 Grail (Streyla) or Armbrust missile launcher, except he uses it in a direct fire role and he fires it multiple times without reloading.

Fictional Rocket Launcher Type 2

During the attack on the Central Command Center in Atlanta, Rostov picks up and uses a launcher that is very similar to the previous one, but not exactly the same. It has specific design differences. This could be the secondary mockup, since this one does not fire, whereas the slightly different one before is set up to fire pyrotechnical charges.

M72 LAW Rocket

Used twice during the final battle by Hunter. Hunter first used one to destroy Rostov's helicopter. The second time was when Hunter took it from a terrorist he killed and uses it against Rostov. Also used by US Army and National Guard troops during that occasion.
