Men of War Dolph Lundgren as the leader of a group of mercenaries hired by a mining corporation to clear the natives off of a Pacific island. As the mercenaries spend more time among a tribe of natives, they must decide whether to carry out their mission or side with the locals against the company that hired them. The film's cast includes Anthony John Denison , Tommy "Tiny" Lister , Kevin Tighe and future JAG Catherine Bell and Trevor Goddard . The film was directed by Perry Lang , who also had a small role in the film.

Rifles M16A1 M16A1s are used by several mercenaries including Jimmy G (Anthony John Denison ), Grace Lashield (Catherine Bell ), Nolan (Don Harvey ) and Ocker (Tim Guinee ). About a half of Keefer's men are also armed with M16s (the rest carry Type 56s ). Most of the rifles have magazines taped together "jungle style".

Heavy Weapons Carl Gustav Recoilless Rifle The Carl Gustav Recoilless Rifle is one of the more notable weapons used in the film. It is mentioned by name by both Grace Lashield (Catherine Bell ) and Col. Merrick (Kevin Tighe ), who correctly point out that it originates from Sweden. The dangers of being behind the weapon whilst it is fired are also shown, with the backblast incinerating one of Keefer's goons as he tries to sneak up on Gunar from behind (a process that also somehow immobilizes him rigidly on the spot). The Carl Gustav is used by Nick Gunar (Dolph Lundgren ), Grace Lashield (Catherine Bell ) and Keefer (Trevor Goddard ).
