The War at Home (1996)

The War at Home was a 1996 film directed by Emilio Estevez and written by James Duff (the creator of The Closer). Estevez stars in the film as a young Vietnam veteran who has difficulty adjusting back to civilian life and his family, including his overbearing father (portrayed by Estevez's real-life father Martin Sheen). The film marked the third film dealing with the Vietnam War that featured in the cast a member of the Sheen family (as his father Martin Sheen starred in 1979's Apocalypse Now and brother Charlie Sheen in 1986's Platoon).

The following weapons were used in the film The War at Home:

M60

The M60E3 machine gun is carried by US troops when Jeremy experiences flashbacks to Vietnam. This is anachronistic as the E3 Model was not introduced until the 1980's.
