Behind Enemy Lines
The following weapons were used in the movie Behind Enemy Lines:
Beretta 92SB
Both Lt. Jeremy Stackhouse (Gabriel Macht) and Lt. Chris Burnett (Owen Wilson) have Beretta 92SB handguns as their sidearms. When the two of them first crash land in Bosnia after their F/A-18F Super Hornet is shot down, Stackhouse is discovered by the Serbs. They take his weapon and question him. After that, a Serb sniper named Sasha (Vladimir Mashkov) uses the pilot's own weapon to execute him, and then uses it to shoot at Burnett when he is discovered. Burnett later uses his Beretta 92SB to shoot and injure Sasha near the end of the film. This model of the Beretta won the Air Force trials and is not accurately portayed as used in the film due to it. Burnett being a Navy pilot, would be issued the SIG-Sauer M11 ( the US military designation for the SIG P228). Note how it has a rounded trigger guard front. The later models such as the 92F and 92FS would incorporate the curved trigger guard later on. The use of this handgun also would seem to depict that this film is set around the same time as USAF Captain Scott O'Grady crashed in Bosnia (1995), on which this film is loosely based.
Beretta 92FS
In addition to the Beretta 92SB's mentioned above, a few Beretta 92FS pistols can also be seen, most notably when the Marines are gearing up for the rescue mission aboard the Carl Vinson.
CZ 75B
The Serbians use CZ 75B handguns as their sidearms. It is most notably seen when Sasha (Vladimir Mashkov) uses his to fire at Burnett when he is first discovered by the Serbs. He also uses it later on to detonate an unexploded landmine. Burnett also takes this gun from Sasha to protect himself while getting the pictures from the ejected seat.
CZ 52
In the scene were Lt. Burnett enters the mall that the Serbian troops are attacking, he enters an area where several civilians are hiding, one of them questions him while holding a CZ 52 up to his chest before the area is hit by a round fired by a Serbian tank.
SIG-Sauer SSG 3000
Throughout the film, Sasha can be seen carrying a SIG-Sauer SSG 3000 sniper rifle with a Harris bipod as his main weapon, firing on Burnett with it several times as he pursues him across Bosnia, though never scores a fatal shot.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Several of the Serbian soldiers seen throughout the film can be seen carrying Heckler & Koch MP5A3's. These weapons can also be seen in the hands of French Special Forces soldiers and US Marines during the rescue mission, with Navy trigger groups.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
The General of the Serbian troops, Miroslav Lokar (Olek Krupa) carries a Heckler & Koch MP5K with extended barrel throughout the film.
CZ 700
At the end of the film when Burnett is being rescued by the U.S. Marines, A Serb sniper with a heavily camouflaged CZ 700 sniper rifle attempts to shoot Burnett while he's running back to the helicopters, but before he can fire, he is taken out by a Marine sniper. The movie was made in Slovakia and they used the weapons that are in that country, except for a few possibly Yugo AK's for the Serbs.
AK-47
While hunting for Burnett, at least one Serbian soldier can be seen carrying an AK-47 rifle. Several can also be seen in the opening scene when the Serbian solders were planting trees on the graves.
Zastava M70AB2
During flashbacks to the ethnic cleansing scene that took place at the beginning of the film, several Serbian soldiers can be seen using Zastava M70AB2 assault rifles to slaughter civilians that would fill the mass grave Burnett and Stackhouse are later shot down for discovering. The M70 is the Serbian AKM copy and differs primarily in that it has a folding sight for launching grenades in front of the gas tube, which is clearly visible in the screencap below. The B1 is fixed stock and the B2 is folding stock.
AKM
Many of the Croatian soldiers can be seen with AKM rifles throughout the film. A couple are also seen being carried by guerrilla fighters Burnett encounters, including a young man named Babic (Kamil Kollarik) who accompanies Burnett in his attempt to reach the extraction point. Burnett also commandeers one of these weapons from a dead Serbian soldier and uses it for the remainder of the film.
SA Vz.58
Along with the AK-series rifles, many of the Serbian soldiers can also be seen carrying SA Vz.58 assault rifles, both the fixed-stock Vz.58 and folding-stock Vz.58V, most notably in the scene where Burnett is navigating the minefield. A trio of Serbian soldiers brandishing SA Vz.58 rifles spot him and give chase, unaware of the minefield until they trigger it, killing them and destroying their rifles.
AKMSU
Yet another weapon used by the Serbians is the AKMSU carbine. It is carried by Bazda (Marko Igonda) most of the time.
Remington 700PSS Sniper Rifle
The Remington 700PSS sniper rifle also appears in the film carried by U.S Marines (an anachronism; the US Marines use the M40 sniper rifle) and Serb soldiers in several scenes.
Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun
In the scene where Stackhouse is captured, some of the Serbian vehicles arriving on the scene can be seen with American-made Browning M2HB heavy machine guns mounted on them.
M53/59 Praga Anti-Aircraft Gun
When Burnett is discovered following Stackhouse's execution and the Serbs open fire on him, one of the weapons the Serbs fire at him is an M53/59 Praga twin-barreled 30mm anti-aircraft gun.
SVD Dragunov
Another Weapon of the Serbs is the SVD Dragunov Sniper Rifle. It is briefly seen in the hands of several of the troops chasing Burnett into the graves.
FAMAS-F1
The FAMAS-F1 can be seen briefly in the hands of the French Special Forces troops in the Savior Six helicopter.
Unknown Sniper Rifle
One of the French Special Forces Troop in the Savior Six helicopter can be seen with a Sniper Rifle of unknown make or model. Looks like the M24.
M16A2 Rifle
In several scenes, U.S. Marines can be seen armed with M16A2 assault rifles, most notably at the climax of the film, when Marine forces rescue Burnett (Owen Wilson).
M16A1 with M16A2 hand guards
Some of the "M16A2s" used by the Marines are actually M16A1s fitted with A2-style hand guards.
GE M134 Minigun
When the U.S Marines rescue Burnett at the end of the film, several UH-1 Huey Gunship helicopters armed with GE M134 Miniguns can be seen firing at the Serbian forces trying to kill Burnett.
M60D Machine Gun
When the U.S. Marines rescue Burnett at the end of the film, several M60D machine guns can be seen door-mounted in UH-1 Huey Gunship helicopters.
NSV Heavy Machine Gun
In some scenes, a few of the T72 tanks operated by the Serbians can be seen with NSV heavy machine guns mounted on the Tank Commander's hatch on top of the turret.
RPD Light Machine Gun
During the climax of the film, an RPD light machine gun can briefly be seen being fired by one of the Serbs.
RPG-7
When Burnett is sneaking out of the town disguised as a Serbian soldier, one of the other soldiers he passes is carrying an RPG-7 slung on his back. Only the rear end of the launcher is visible, but given the filming location, it is likely that this is a genuine RPG-7 and not the Chinese Type 69 RPG clone.
PROM-1 Anti-Personnel Mine
The mine Bazda steps on in the forest which is implied to be a pressure release detonated device appears to be a Yugoslavian PROM-1 anti-personnel mine, with the distinctive pronged tilt trigger of that weapon. If so, this is an error; the PROM-1's detonator is triggered by tilting the prongs, and the mine's bounding charge explodes around one second after the striker is released. The minefield Burnett is navagating when the Serbs chasing him set it off is comprised of numerous PROM-1 mines with tripwires crisscrossing the field. The detonation of the mines is falsely shown to be a directional blast, more akin to that of the American M18A1 Claymore. Strangely enough, right when Burnett stands up after the blasts an implied dud mine is shown with detonator missing, but body still showing. the body seems to be of the POMD-1 mine, while all the detonators used in the movie are that of the PROM-1 mine.
M61 Vulcan
The M61 Vulcan appears in the film as the secondary armament of the F/A-18F Super Hornet piloted by the protagonists when they are shot down over Bosnia, although the weapon is not shown being fired since the pilots were conducting a reconaissance mission at the time and not a combat mission.
Phalanx CIWS
In some shots of the USS Carl Vinson, some of the ship's Phalanx CIWS turrets can be seen, though are never fired during the film.
