AIMS

Georgi Koshkin (Uri Gavriel) can be seen using an AIMS rifle (A Romanian AKMS clone), distinguished from the other AK's in the film by the stamped receiver, vertical foregrip integrated into the handguard, and side-folding wire stock. His also has an orange bakelite plastic magazine and the standard slant compensator replaced with an Israeli blank-firing adaptor. While it may seem strange for a Soviet soldier to use a Romanian AK clone, the Iron Eagle series is somewhat notorious for inaccuracies in depictions of military hardware.

Walther PP

The Soviet members of the task force carry Walther PP pistols as their sidearms (due to its similarity to the Makarov PM). At one point, Koshkin uses his to shoot a basketball when the others are pestering him to play a game while he's trying to eat.

M72 LAW

There are two appearances of the M72 LAW, both seen in the hands of enemy soldiers. The first one is used to knock out one of the task force's BMP-5 armored personnel carriers (in reality, mocked-up M113 armored personnel carriers). The other is fired at Hickman in an attempt to kill him as he's making his run for the bunkers, but misses.

Browning M3 Heavy Machine Gun

When it starts to look as if the task force might fail their mission, nuclear bombers are sent as a contingency plan, including a B-52D Stratofortress armed with four Browning M3 heavy machine guns mounted in the tail.

Mini Uzi

At one point in the film, Chappy gathers the members of the task force together and challenges them to use a pair of Mini Uzis to shoot each other, though neither side is willing to do more than fire a burst into the sand, at which point Chappy informs them of the alternate plan to use nuclear bombers to destroy the target, fallout from which would kill hundreds of innocent civilians living nearby.

M61 Vulcan

The M61 Vulcan cannon appears in the film as the secondary armament of F-16C Fightning Falcons flown by the US pilots and F-4E Phantom II's (standing in for MiG-29 Fulcrums) flown by the Soviet pilots in the film. As in the previous Iron Eagle film, acetyline-firing mockups are used to simulate the actual M61 Vulcans in closeup shots of the weapon firing.

DEFA Cannon

Just as in the previous film, enemy pilots can be seen piloting IAI Kfirs referred to as MiG-23's, the fighters armed with DEFA cannons as their secondary armament.
