Revision as of 17:16, 3 September 2013
Bulletproof is a 1988 action film starring Gary Busey, Henry Silva and Darlanne Fluegel, directed by Steve Carver (Big Bad Mama, Lone Wolf McQuade).
The following weapons were used in the film Bulletproof (1988):
Handguns
Webley Mk VI
A Webley Mk VI is used by Frank "Bulletproof" McBain (Gary Busey).
1911A1
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.
Colt Python
McBain has a Colt Python, but is never seen using it. Montoya (Don Pike) is seen using it during the ice cream truck chase.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
McBain's partner, Billy Dunbar (Thalmus Rasulala) is armed with what appears to be a Smith & Wesson Model 10.
Beretta 92SB
Tarpley (James Andronica) and Blackburn (R.G. Armstrong) are seen armed with Beretta 92SB pistols.
Luger P08
Colonel Kartiff (Henry Silva) and the Russian Major (William Smith) use Luger P08 pistols throughout the film.
Single Action Army
General Maximiliano Brogado (René Enríquez) carries a pair of nickel-plated Single Action Army revolvers.
Shotguns
High Standard Model 10B
McBain uses a High Standard Model 10B when he goes down to Mexico.
Submachine Guns
Micro Uzi
Pantaro (Juan Fernández) uses a Micro Uzi with a combination scope and laser throughout the film. McBain uses a plain Micro Uzi briefly.
Uzi Carbine
A government agent is seen with a Uzi Carbine. Hermano (Jorge Cervera Jr.) carries one as well.
Rifles
AKM
AKMs are seen throughout the film.
Valmet M71
Valmet M71s are seen throughout the film.
Valmet M76
A henchman is seen with a Valmet M76.
M16A1
M16A1s with A2-handguards are seen in the hands of the rebels and US troops.
Heavy Weapons/Explosives
RPG-7
Montoya shows Sharkey (Danny Trejo) an RPG-7 during the beginning of the film. This appears to be the same mockup seen in the film Rambo: First Blood Part II.
M60E3
Montoya tells Sharkey to use "the 308" on the pursuing McBain. This turns out to be an M60E3 machine gun.
Browning M2 Aircraft
Jeeps with mounted Browning M2 Aircraft machine guns are seen throughout the film. It's possible it's all just the same jeep.
Hawk MM1 grenade launcher
The Russian Major uses a Hawk MM1 grenade launcher at the end of the film. This is most likely the same launcher seen in The Dogs of War and The A-Team television series.
M2A1-7 Flamethrower
One of the rebels is armed with an M2A1-7 Flamethrower.
Mk 2 hand grenade
Sharkey tries to stop McBain with a Mk 2 hand grenade during the ice cream truck chase.
M26 hand grenade
Captain Shepard frees McBain with an M26 hand grenade.
Miscellanea
AR-15 parts
In a continuity error, the High Standard Model 10B morphs into a half assembled AR-15 with A1 handguards. This might be because the scene involved McBain beating up two guards with the weapon and they did not want to risk damage to the Model 10B.
Faux T-72 and ZSU-23-4
This film reuses the faux T-72 and ZSU-23-4 from Red Dawn.
M75 APC
This film also has a vintage M75 APC. The M75 was first fielded during the Korean War.
BRDM-2
This film also has what appears to be a real BRDM-2.
"Faux" Mi-24 Hind
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.
"MBT-90 Thunderblast"
America's newest tank, with armor "thick enough to survive anything from a Stinger to a ten-foot SAM" (which doesn't really say much; anti-aircraft missiles generally have almost no armor-piercing capabilities and would be no match for even modest tank armor). As the production rented vehicles from the same one from Red Dawn, this is likely the same modified tank chassis used for the Abrams in that film.
