Men of War (1994)

Men of War is a 1994 action film starring Dolph Lundgren as the leader of a group of mercenaries who are hired by a mining corporation to clear the natives off of a Pacific island. As the mercenaries spend more time with the tribe of natives, they must decide whether to go through with their mission or side with the locals against the company that hired them. The film was directed by Perry Lang.

The following weapons were used in the film Men of War:


Handguns

Smith & Wesson Model 686

Jimmy G (Anthony John Denison) carries a ridiculous number of handguns around his body, including a Smith & Wesson Model 686 with wood grips.

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 Keefer's men are also armed with M16s (the rest carry Type 56s). Most of them 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).

M60

Blades (Tommy "Tiny" Lister) carries an M60 machine gun, which is taken from him by Nick Gunar (Dolph Lundgren) in one scene.

Unknown

Due to a continuity goof, Keefer's (Trevor Goddard) pistol switches from his usual Glock 19 to another, unidentified weapon in one scene.
