Revision as of 21:02, 17 April 2012
Uncommon Valor is a 1983 action film starring Gene Hackman as a retired Marine Colonel who leads a group of Vietnam veterans and a young former Marine (Patrick Swayze) back into Vietnam on a mission to rescue POW's left behind after the war, one of which may be his son.
The following weapons were used in the film Uncommon Valor:
Handguns
Smith & Wesson Model 10 Revolver
Thai Police hold Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolvers when they apprehend Rhodes and the men.
Smith & Wesson Model 686 Revolver
One of the Thai Cops carries a Smith & Wesson Model 686 Revolver in the raid. Since the revolver was introduced in 1980 and as the scene takes place in 1983 Bangkok, this is possible.
M1911 pistol series
The M1911 is carried by several characters including Col. Rhodes (Gene Hackman), Wilkes (Fred Ward), and Blaster (Reb Brown).
Submachine Guns
M1928A1 Thompson
When their weapons are confiscated before the rescue mission, the men are forced to use older WWII-era weapons including the M1928A1 Thompson. Wilkes, Blaster and Charts (Tim Thomerson) are armed with Thompsons that lack the compensator. You can tell they're M1928A1's because of the location of the actuators, although it appears the rear sights have been removed.
Uzi Submachine gun
A bodyguard of the 'new' arms dealer who confronts Johnson and Rhodes is seen holding a standard Uzi 9mm.
Rifles
CAR-15
When the men train for the mission in Galveston, they are seen firing CAR-15 rifles. Several LRRP members are also seen carrying the rifle in the 1972 Vietnam prologue.
MGC CAR-15
In the opening Vietnam sequence, LRRP (Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol) members are seen running back to the helicopters, some (including Frank Rhodes) are carrying the MGC CAR-15 replica rifle. They are never seen firing. The CAR-15s by MGC were always sold with the replica 30 round magazines. Some of the CAR-15s in the film took 20 round magazines off of the MGC M16 replica rifles and used those. Others retained the stock 30 round magazine.
M16A1
Several LRRP members are seen running with M16A1's during the opening Vietnam sequence.
M16SP1
During the opening Vietnam sequence, Blaster is seen firing an M16SP1 rifle with slab side receiver.
Norinco Type-56
The Norinco Type-56 is a common assault rifle used in movies and television to stand-in for the AK-47. Seen carried by Laotian border patrol guards as well as Jiang (Kwai Hi Lim) and Lai Fun (Lau Nga Lai).
Chinese Type 56 Carbine
Laotian Border Patrol and Prison Camp guards are seen firing the Chinese Type 56 carbine rifle.
M14-E2
Scott (Patrick Swayze) uses an M14-E2 outfitted with a night vision scope as a sniper rifle during the training exercise.
M1 Garand
When their weapons are confiscated before the rescue mission, the men are forced to use older WWII-era weapons including the M1 Garand. Used primarily by Col. Rhodes (Gene Hackman).
M1 Carbine
Jiang's associate in the bar is seen holding an M1 Carbine, however, he walks away when Rhodes begins his conversation with Jiang - .30 carbine.
Mosin Nagant Rifle
A Mosin Nagant Rifle is one of the weapons glimpsed in the arms dealer's cache.

"Fake" MG42
In the film, a fake barrel shroud is placed on a M60 machine gun to make it look like a MG42. You can notice in the photos there is no opening to remove the barrel on the right hand side. Also there is ammo bag hanger on the left side and the nut on the bottom of the gas cylinder is showing below the shroud. The stock was left off on the helicopter just like M60C gun and a fake rubber stock was add for the ground scene.

An authentic MG42 machine gun on the wall of the arms cave. Sailor later uses an actual MG42 when he is bursting through the prisoner huts, but it is never fired (the only firing scenes of the "MG-42" utilize the mocked up M60).
