Rambo: First Blood (1982)

First Blood is the 1982 action film based on a David Morrell novel and introduced the character of John Rambo to movie screens. Sylvester Stallone stars as Rambo, a former Green Beret and Vietnam veteran who takes on a small town when the sheriff (Brian Dennehy) pushes him over the edge. Stallone would reprise the Rambo character in three more sequels. In the United States, the film is known just as First Blood, while internationally and on some video releases, it is known as Rambo: First Blood.

The following weapons are seen used in First Blood:



M60 machine gun

An M60 machine gun is used by John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) near the end of the film when he removes it from the back of a National Guard truck and uses it to shoot up various stores in town, including the police station.
