The following weapons appear in the film Tears of the Sun:
Colt M4A1 with SOPMOD Attachments
Used by Lieutenant A.K. Waters, Danny "Doc" Kelley, Jason "Flea" Mabry, Kelly Lake and Ellis "Zee" Pettigrew as their primary weapons. "Doc" and "Zee" both have an M203 Grenade Launcher attached at the end of there weapons while "Flea" has a 6x48 Trijicon ACOG and a Silencer. Flea's M4 is also has a custom paintjob of green and black. While "Lake" has an M68 Aimpoint and a Suppressor on his rifle.
M60E4 Machine Gun
The M60E4 machine gun appears in the film being used by James "Red" Atkins (Cole Hauser) as his primary weapon, fitted with a duckbill-style muzzle brake.
Heckler & Koch Mk 23 mod 0
Used by members of the SEAL team as their secondary weapon, seen fitted with silencers during the scene where the team take out the militia members in the villiage.
M249 SAW Paratrooper
A paratrooper version of the M249 SAW appears in the film used by Michael "Slo" Slowenski (Nick Chinlund) as his primary weapon, with a cloth ammo pouch.
M-14 Sniper rifle
Used by Demetrius "Silk" Owens (Charles Ingram) as his primary weapon. US Navy uses standard M14 rifles. The M21 is used by the US Army. The USMC uses the M14 DMR, Designated Marksman Rifle. All are updated versions of the M14
Remington 870 shotgun
Lake also uses a Remington 870 shotgun with an extended tube and a sidesaddle for extra shells. The shotgun is sometimes preferred for close quarters and in the jungle, often used by the pointman in the team. After "Lake" takes an unfatal shot to the right shoulder, "Flea" takes his Remington 870, because Lake can only use one arm. Flea then fires all seven shots and most likey drops the shotgun, due to its long reload time. Flea uses his M4 until he is shot.
Sig Sauer P228 pistol
Danny "Doc" Kelley (Paul Francis) wields a Sig-Sauer P228 (designated M11 in U.S. military service) as his sidearm during the ethnic cleansing scene and during the final battle when he runs out of ammo for his M4 and resorts to this pistol until he can reload.
AKM
Both the Russian AKM rifle and the Chinese Type 56 assault rifle was seen in the hands of Nigerian soldiers and the Cameroon border guards.
SKS
Used by Nigerian soldiers - Both Russian and Chinese models.
Mauser Kar98k rifle
