Iron Man (2008)

The following guns were seen in Iron Man:


Heckler & Koch G36K

Raza's Ten Rings fighters carry Heckler & Koch G36K assault rifles, most fitted with G36C-style carry handles. In the film, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) learns that Obadiah Stane has been selling Stark Industries weapons to Raza's men, making them better armed than any of the other jihadist factions in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The various assault weapons used by Raza's men, including the H&Ks, are therefore supposed to be Stark Industries products. It is also possible that in the Iron Man universe, Stark Industries obtained a license from Heckler & Koch to produce G36 and UMP-series weapons in the U.S.

His G36K is outfitted with the current SOPMOD rig, a tandem sight mount with an AN/PVS-14 NVS mounted behind an ACOG (or any other red dot) Scope. This tandem double scope system allows the shooter to use red dot aiming with night vision capability.

Heckler & Koch G36C

Several of Raza's men are also armed with the compact version of the G36, the Heckler & Koch G36C. The G36's are also outfitted with many accessories to disguise their origins. During the escape from the Ten Rings' camp, Yinsen (Shaun Toub) grabs a G36C dropped by one of the fighters and runs towards Raza's men firing wildly, trying to divert attention from Stark until the suit is powered up and he can use it to fight his way out.

CAR-15 rifle

Some of the Ten Rings fighters seem to carry an XM177 lookalike, which is sometimes referred to as a CAR-15, to differentiate it from the real XM177 series of rifles.

M4A1

USAF Airmen stationed in Afghanistan are seen armed with M4A1 carbines. They are also used by airport security when Tony Stark returns to the United States. The M4A1's in the movie are eqiupped with Insight Technologies ISM-V scopes; These scopes have built-in laser aiming modules and night-vision, thus eliminating the need for anything but the handgrip.

Held by one of Raza's men is an M4A1 with a Magpul Buttstock and an M26 Modular Acessory Shotgun System (MASS) fitted under the barrel. While the carbine's grip appear to be removed, close inspection reveals his sleeve is in the way.

Browning M2 M1921

Both Ten Rings fighters and USAF Airmen in Afghanistan can be seen using the Browning M2 M1921 50-caliber machine gun. The Ten Rings fighters place the machine guns in their camp, with the USAF Airmen have them mounted on top of their Humvees.


There is NO SUCH THING as an "M2 M1921". The depicted M2HB design dates from 1938 -- and its correct designation is simply "M2HB".

The Browning M2 was invented in 1921 by John Moses Browning. In 1938, he was dead. Original designation is "Browning M2 M1921".
