The following weapons were used in the film Red Scorpion:
Rifles
AO-63 assault rifle (mocked up FN FAL)
The large assault rifle used prominently by Nikolai Rachenko (Dolph Lundgren) during the final assault is an FN FAL mocked up to resemble the experimental Russian Avtomat AO-63 assault rifle. The weapon is also seen being tested by Colonel Zayas (Carmen Argenziano) on the rifle range near the beginning of the film. The FN FAL used in the movie has been modified with twin barrels, a custom stock, the pistol grip from a Vektor SS-77 general purpose machine gun, an enlarged magazine/foregrip and a Lewis gun's drum magazine mounted on top. Upon closer inspection only the lower barrel can actually be seen firing; presumably this is because building a weapon that could fire from two barrels would be a far more difficult modification, and the discrepancy isn't that noticeable on-screen.
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.
thumb|none|600px|The AO-63 inflicts damage all out of proportion to its size to targets that are apparently impervious to 5.56X45mm and 7.62X39mm ammunition.
FN FAL
Unmodified FN FAL rifles are used by guerilla fighters.
IMI Romat (fitted with grenade launcher)
An Israeli contract FAL fitted with a grenade launcher is seen being used by Nikolai Rachenko (Dolph Lundgren) and Kallunda Kintash (Al White).
AK-47
AKM
Seen in the hands of Soviet troops, Cuban troops, the African rebels, and Nikolai Rachenko (Dolph Lundgren) throughout the film, occasionally with attached bayonets.
AMD-65
An AMD-65 rifle is used by Rachenko to drunkenly shoot up a bar on the Soviet base so that he can be arrested and subsequently aid guerilla Kallunda Kintash (Al White) in his escape, thereby gaining the trust of the rebels and allowing him to assassinate their leader (in an incredibly convoluted plan that actually involves the deaths of several Russian soldiers). AMD-65s are also seen being used by various Russian soldiers/guerillas and by Dewey Ferguson (M. Emmet Walsh).
Vektor R4
Vektor R4 rifles are used by the Angolan troops.
Mosin-Nagant
Mosin-Nagant M44 carbines (without the bayonet) are seen in the hands of African guerillas.
Shotguns
Mossberg 500
Mossberg 500 shotguns with extended mag tubes are used by the Russian Military Policemen and Dewey Ferguson (M. Emmet Walsh) during the road chase. A Mossberg 500 is also used by Nikolai during the final assault, along with other members of the guerilla force.
Machine Guns
M1919A4 machine gun
A Browning M1919A4 machine gun (which would never be used by Russian forces) is seen mounted on a Soviet Ratel Infantry Fighting Vehicle vehicle.
Vektor SS-77
A South African Vektor SS-77 machine gun is seen mounted on an armored vehicle during the road chase, and also on a motorcycle and sidecar being ridden by Cuban troops.
RPK
RPKs are used by various Russian and Cuban troops. Lt. Nikolai Rachenko (Dolph Lundgren) takes one and uses it during the ambush at the oasis.
Submachine Guns
PPSh41
Seen wielded by the African guerillas.
Handguns
Colt Combat Commander
Incongruously used by a Cuban soldier and General Vortek (T.P. McKenna). It is likely supposed to portray the Russian Tokarev TT-33, as Soviet officers would never use a handgun of American manufacture.
Other
M40 106mm Recoilless Rifle
Seen mounted on a Land Rover and used by Rachenko (Dolph Lundgren) during the assault on the joint Soviet/Cuban military camp.
M134 Minigun
An M134 minigun can be seen mounted in the nose of the Sikorsky S-62 "Hind gunship", it is a mockup.You can see where it is attached to the aircraft. Furthermore, during the attack in the rebel base you can see the entire mount rotate with an acetylene-powered muzzle blast, although it is never seen firing in close-up.
Mk 40 grenade launcher
A MK 40 is seen underslung the barrel of the Israeli IMI Romat used by Nikolai Rachenko(Dolph Lundgren) and Kallunda Kintash (Al White).
Flamethrower
Custom flamethrowers are used by Soviet troops to 'cleanse' a tribal village in a scene in the extended cut.
Degtyaryov DT Machine Gun
DT machine gun is seen firing from the hull of a Soviet T-34/85 tank. While long out of Soviet service by the time it is plausible that the “Client State” was still using such an outdated armored vehicle.
RPG-7l
An RPG-7 launcher is used during the escape of Kallunda Kintash (Al White).
RKG-3
A mockup of an RKG-3 anti-tank grenade is wielded by Colonel Zayas (Carmen Argenziano) before getting his arm blown off by Nikolai Rachenko.
Unknown Magnetic Grenade
At the end of the truck chase, Nikolai Rachenko(Dolph Lundgren) places a Magnetic Grenade onto the truck's fuel tank to destroy it.
Trivia
- Many of the "Soviet" vehicles were actually on loan from the S.A.D.F.(South African Defense Forces).
- The movie was funded by the anti-communist S.A.D.F., with the production run by co-producer and future Washington DC lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who later would gain notoriety for being implicated in a scandal involving the bribery of US government officials.
- Screenshots to be added
- The "Mil Mi-24 Hind" seen in the movie is mocked up from a Sikorsky S-62. The same modified helicopter can be seen in Braddock: Missing In Action 3 and Bulletproof (albeit less convincingly modified).
