McBain also uses a stainless M1911A1 throughout the film. Captain Devon Shepard (Darlanne Fluegel) tries to draw one during the ambush, but is dissuaded by CSM O'Rourke.

Putting the distinctive A2 handguards on the older rifle was a method used by Movie/TV armorers to simulate A2 rifles when M16A1s were the only ones available. The same thing has been done vice-versa, Using M16A2's with A1 handguards for Vietnam War B Movies.Error creating thumbnail: File missing

What is referred to in the film as a Mi-24 Hind helicopter is in reality a visually modified Sikorsky S-62. The Sikorsky has the faux Hind weapons platforms added on its sides with the Hind-style rocket pods and missiles. A similarly configured helicopter was used in several other films including Braddock: Missing In Action 3 and (with slightly more convincing modifications) 1989's Red Scorpion.
