Thunder 5 pistol

This is the peculiar-looking "big revolver" carried by PFC Conrad Vig. The Thunder 5 is used to threathen a group of Iraqi soldiers at the Karbala bunker, perform target practice from a moving vehicle, and finally to shoot Iraqi soldiers during the rescue of SFC Barlow. An Interesting thing to note is that this weapon is not US Army Issue (Indeed, there is a deleted scene in which Vig recieves the weapon on Easter as a gift from his parents).

AKS-74U Assault Rifle

The AKMSU carbine can be seen in the hands of the Iraqi officer in the "moving of the gold" scene at the Karbala bunker.
