The following weapons seen in the movie Firefox:
Walther PP
Former USAF pilot Mitchell Gant (Clint Eastwood) carries a Walther PP series pistol during his mission into Russia. Pyotr Baranovich (Nigel Hawthorne), one of the Firefox scientists, is seen pulling a Walther in the hangar. As he sees the Firefox take off, Gant's Russian contact puts a Walther to his head as the soldiers close in on him.
Valmet M71S
A Valmet M71S rifle (standing in for a Kalashnikov Variant) can be seen in the hands of a Russian soldier checking the men's bathroom of a Moscow subway station. At the Bilyarsk Airbase, the rifles are seen fired by the soldiers to prevent the escape of the MiG-31 Firefox.
Norinco Type 56
The Norinco Type 56 appears to be used in lieu of the AK-47, notably carried by Russian soldiers who search for the Russian contact in the countryside.
GE M134 Minigun
A helicopter doorgunner is seen firing a GE M134 Minigun as Gant experiences a flashback to the Vietnam War.
Remington 870
As a military helicopter lands at his cabin, Mitchell Gant runs into his home and grabs a Remington 870 Police Folder shotgun to defend himself.
Firefox's Machine Guns
In addition to its missiles, twin machine guns are part of the MiG-31 Firefox's weaponry.
Trivia Section
- The "Moscow" scenes were filmed in Vienna with the countryside scenes in Hungary. In one subway scene, you can read German signs.
- The helicopter cockpits of the Mi-24 Hinds that search for the Firefox are in fact the same cockpits used in the film Blue Thunder.
- MiG-31 depicted in the film is entirely fictional and nothing to do with real MiG-31 "Foxhound"
- The Soviet cruiser shown in one scene is in fact an American Belknap class guided missile cruiser.
