Revision as of 20:56, 27 October 2008
The following guns were used in the film Jarhead
Remington M40A1
Anthony "Swoff" Swofford (Jake Gyllenhaal) uses two Remington M40A1 rifles in the film, first using one with a camo finish stock to train to be a Scout Sniper in Basic Traing, the second a desert camo painted model with a cheek rest stock. Swofford never gets to fire his rifle in combat so to make up for this, he fires his rifle into the air at the end of the film to celebrate the war's end.
M16A2
The M16A2 appears numerous times in the film as the standard weapon of the U.S. Marine Corps, most notably in a scene where Swofford snaps under stress and holds Fergus (Brian Geraghty) at gunpoint with one and forces him to recite the Rifleman's Creed, then gives the weapon to Fergus and demands for him to shoot him with it, which fergus refuses to do. During the Scout/Sniper training, The Marines are also seen using M16A2s converted to fire paintballs in a dismal attempt to take out their instructor, Staff Sgt. Sykes (Jamie Foxx), one of the Marines taking a paintball to the face in the process.
M16A3
At the end of the film when the Marines fire their weapons into the air in celebration of the war's end, Alan Troy (Peter Sarsgaard) fires his M16/M203 combo into the air, and his M16 is clearly seen firing full-auto. Since an M16A2 fires in 3 round bursts, it is assumed to be an M16A3. This would also be a serious continuity goof, since the M16A3 wasn't in service during the first Gulf War.
Cobray CM203 Grenade Launcher
The Cobray 37mm Launcher appears in the film mounted on several Marines' M16A2 rifles, most notably Fergus and Troy's rifles. These faux-launchers take the place of the actual M203, although some genuine M203s are seen, sometimes they even switch between the two in continuity errors.
M203 grenade launcher
The M203 grenade launcher is seen mounted on Fergus and Troy's M16A2 rifles sometimes taking the place of the Cobray CM203 launchers used in other scenes.
M249 SAW
The M249 SAW makes a few appearances in the film, most notably when the Marines are having a party to celebrate the end of the war, wherein it is one of the weapons being fired into the air.
M60 Machine Gun
The M60E3 machine gun makes several appearances in the film, most notably during the Scout Sniper training program where one Marine is killed after taking a round to the head from the weapon, and again near the end of the film where several are shown being fired into the air to celebrate the end of the war. There are also appearances of door-mounted M60D machine guns, first when Marines are watching the famous 'helicopter scene' of Apocalypse Now, and then on a Marine Corps Huey sitting on the ground at the Marine camp during Operation: Desert Shield.
AK-47
Just before being deployed to the middle east, the Marines can be seen watching the 'helicopter scene' from Apocalypse Now, the Việt Cộng fighters on the screen being seen with AK-47's.
GE M134 Minigun
Just before being deployed to the middle east, the Marines can be seen watching the 'helicopter scene' from Apocalypse Now, some of the helicopters seen fitted with GE M134 Miniguns.
Beretta M92FS
The Beretta M92FS appears several times in the film, usually being worn by officers, and is another weapon shown being fired in celebration at the end of the war.
M18A1 Claymore
An M18A1 Claymore mine makes a rather humorous appearance in the film when Fergus asks Swofford which way the mine should be planted facing, obviously having failed to notice the words "FRONT TOWARD ENEMY" on the front of the mine, which Swofford sarcastically points out.
M67 Hand Grenade
During their time in the Saudi desert during Operation: Desert Shield, the Marines are shown practicing with M67 hand grenades.
M136 AT4
In the scene where the Marines are digging their sleeping holes at the border just before the start of Operation: Desert Storm, an M136 AT4 can briefly be seen among some of the Marines' gear.
Mk 19 Grenade Launcher
At the start of Operation: Desert Storm, a humvee can be seen with a Mk 19 grenade launcher mounted on the roof.
Browning M2 Heavy Machine Gun
During the parade to welcome the Marines home at the end of the war, a humvee can be briefly seen with a Browning M2 heavy machine gun mounted on the roof.
