Red Scorpion (1989)


AO-63 assault rifle

The weapon used by Nikolai Rachenko(Dolph Lundgren) is an FN FAL with the muzzle modded to imitate twin barrels to mock up a Russian AO-63 assault rifle, The magazine also has the front slightly extended to form a front grip. Can be seen if you click here at 01:45 seconds. Not to forget it is seen tested by Colonel Zayas(Carmen Argenziano) on the rifle range impressed by its performance. The film-makers have also modified this gun with a Lewis gun's drum magazine and the pistol grip from an SS-77 general purpose machine gun. Although not related to the AO-63 but a Two barrel FN FAL does exist that was made by Winchester/Olin for US Army trials.
