Since the receiver has only two fire positions (Safe and Fire) it is the semi automatic HK91 rather than the select fire G3. | During the attack on his home that results in the kidnapping of his daughter Jenny (Alyssa Milano), John Matrix ([[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]) retrieves a [[Heckler & Koch G3|Heckler & Koch HK91]] from the armory in his tool shed to fend off the attackers.

Revision as of 20:11, 20 July 2011
The following weapons were used in the film Commando:
Heckler & Koch HK91
During the attack on his home that results in the kidnapping of his daughter Jenny (Alyssa Milano), John Matrix (Arnold Schwarzenegger) retrieves a Heckler & Koch HK91 from the armory in his tool shed to fend off the attackers. Since the receiver has only two fire positions (Safe and Fire) it is the semi automatic HK91 rather than the select fire G3.
Beretta 92SB
Matrix (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is also seen taking a Beretta 92SB from his tool shed and tucks it in his belt. He never gets to use it though and it dissapears from his belt when he crashes his car.
M16/SP1 Rifle
The original M16 (also known as the Colt SP1 rifle) is used, as denoted by the slab side upper receiver (minus a bolt assist). The three pronged flash hider, however, is replaced with a standard A1 birdcage flash hider in many of the rifles.
M16 Rifle with A2 handguards
South American police are seen with M16 (Colt SP1) rifles outfitted with A2 handguards to look like the M16A2 rifle. Kirby's men at the end of the film are also seen with these rifles.
MGC M16 aka 'Replica M16s'
Obvious because the MGC M16 (Model Gun Corp of Japan) metal M16 replicas have three pronged flash hiders, but they are mounted upside down and their 20 round magazines are blued, not Colt anodyzed gray. Used by every soldier/combatant carrying an M16 when they are doing stunts or pointing the muzzle directing at someone without firing. The replicas were probably used so extensively for safety purposes.
M16A1 Rifle
There are numerous appearances of M16A1 rifles in the film; used by U.S. military personnel as well as some of Arius' (Dan Hedaya) men, one of which Matrix commandeers and uses as well. Most of the M16 rifles seen have 20 round magazines, but some have 30 round magazines. Throughout the final battle, the rifles in the hands of actors and stuntmen change from original M16 (SP1) rifles to M16A1 rifles and back again.
CAR-15
General Kirby's men, who are assigned to protect Matrix and his daughter, but end up killed themselves are armed with CAR-15 carbines. Not XM177s/Colt Commandos, they look to be commercial CAR-15 clones due to the length and shape of their 'fake' XM177 suppressor/flash hider.
Ruger Mini-14 GB
Arius' men use Ruger Mini-14 GBs with factory folding stocks. Several of them are seen firing at Matrix and a few are seen dying with their Ruger Rifles. Some are stainless steel models, others are blued models.
Heckler & Koch HK94 (chopped & converted)
One of Arius' men is seen firing a Heckler & Koch HK94 with the 16" barrel chopped down and converted to full auto to resemble an MP5A3. The only featture seen to note this is the lack of the three barrel lugs on the barrel.
Valmet M78/83
One of the weapons used by Matrix during the assault on Arius' base, the Valmet M78 is a Finnish light machine gun similar in appearance to the RPK, the main difference being a different muzzle brake, front sight assembly, and many other structural differences. The Valmet M78 Light Machine Gun has a standard RPK 'style' buttstock. The later Valmet M78/83 has a synthetic thumbhole "Dragunov Style" stock. This is the version used in the film. The Valmet M78 series of Light Machine guns came in 7.62x51mm (.308) and 7.62x39mm calibers.
M202A1 FLASH
Another weapon used by Matrix during the final assault, the M202A1 FLASH is the 4-barreled rocket launcher first seen being used by Cindy (Rae Dawn Chong) to flip the police van carrying Matrix after he's arrested raiding a sporting goods store for supplies.
Uzi
One of the weapons used by Matrix that appears in the the final assault is the full size Uzi, when stealing the seaplane to reach Arius' compound and during the final battle.
Micro Uzi
A Micro Uzi is used by Bennett (Vernon Wells) during a last ditch effort against Matrix, but Bennet is killed by Matrix before he can fire it.
Ingram MAC-10
The MAC-10 submachine gun can be seen being used by assassins in the beginning of the movie, killing members of Matrix's old special forces unit.
Remington 870
A Remington 870 shotgun is used by Matrix during the final raid on Arius' compound. The gun has a long barrel and a high-capacity magazine tube. However, in the film, the shotgun actually changes (continuity error) several times in the sequence, sometimes the foregrip looks different and the sling changes from being slung over the barrel to over the magazine tube. Since the movie had many continuity errors with the other guns, it makes being 100% sure of the shotgun type difficult.
Steyr AUG
A Steyr AUG is seen on the wall of the hidden arms room in the 'surplus store', but never used. Seen again, during the final raid on Arius' compound, Arius attempts to take out Matrix using a Steyr AUG bullpup rifle, but ultimately fails and ends up among Matrix's body count.
AKM
Throughout the film, some of Arius' men are seen using AKMs.
M67 Hand Grenade
Yet another weapon used by Matrix is several M67 hand grenades. Some are also used by Arius' men during the final battle.
Desert Eagle Mark I
Another weapon Matrix uses during the final battle is a chrome Magnum Research Desert Eagle Mark I chambered in .357 or .44 being that the film was shot in 1984 and released in 1985.
Franchi SPAS-12
Another weapon seen being carried by Arius' men, but not used in combat is the Franchi SPAS-12.
M1911A1
Some of Arius' men use M1911A1s as their sidearms.
M60E3 Machine Gun
The M60E3 machine gun first appears being used by one of Arius' men, and is commandeered and used by Matrix. The M60E3 used in the film had a shorter barrel, several inches shorter than the standard M60E3.
M60 Machine Gun
One of Arius' men is seen guarding his mansion armed with an M60 machine gun. One is also seen in the sporting goods armory.
Detonics ScoreMaster
- During the final showdown with Matrix, Bennet shoots him in the arm with a Detonics ScoreMaster before tossing it down in favor of his knife in order to show his Manhood.
Colt Combat Commander Series 70
General Kirby keeps a Colt Combat Commander Series 70 carried in his holster when Matrix surprises him and pulls the gun out and points it at him.
M18A1 Claymore
Just before starting the final battle, Matrix plants several M18A1 Claymore anti-personnel mines on the grounds of the complex, and triggers it remotely during the battle. Though the M18A1 Claymore is an antipersonnel mine, the ones in the film are strong enough to vaporize an entire building, indicative of the 'exaggeration' of Hollywood movies. The M18A1 Claymore mines are not real (of course NONE are real in movies), however the ones in this film are even more 'customized' than usual. They are plastic casts of the M18A1 and fabricated to take an internal Radio receiver (and custom detonator). The Real M18A1 would be a self enclosed unit, two plastic halves enclosing the explosive and steel balls (shrapnel), and would not have room to add on an internal radio unit.

Sully (David Patrick Kelly) keeps a Smith & Wesson Model 39 as his sidearm in the film.
Smith & Wesson Model 15

Smith & Wesson Model 60
One of the men inside the bar in the mall tries to shoot at the police with a Smith & Wesson Model 60 but is gunned down before he can get off a shot.
Smith & Wesson Model 67
Cooke (Bill Duke) tries to shoot Matrix with a Smith & Wesson Model 67, the stainless version of the Model 15, while fighting with him in Sully's hotel room.
Hidden Armory
In search of weapons and supplies, Matrix goes to a sporting goods store and opens up a secret armory behind the wall, revealing 100s of guns inside. The ones most obvious are:
