This isnt an M4, due to it being issued in 1994. Because Gates is Delta Farse, I'm gonna say M723, but i'll double check.

I put down the one we have, but just because the M4 wasn't issued until 1994 in real life doesn't mean it can't be in this movie (which came out in 1999). There are gun-related anachronisms in lots of movies (i.e. Platoon features the Colt M653, which wasn't around in the Vietnam War era). -MT2008 03:46, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Beretta 92FS

The Beretta 92FS can be seen throughout the movie as well. Used by SFC Troy Barlow (Mark Wahlberg), SSGT Chief Elgin (Ice Cube), PFC Conrad Vig (Spike Jonze) and numerous other US personnel. Elgin accidentally fires his at one point when pistol-whipping an Iraqi soldier during the raid on the Karbala bunker, though thankfully no one is harmed by the stray shot.

M60 Machine Gun

The M60 machine gun is seen mounted on top of the Humvee, and is fired a few times during the confrontation between the main characters and the Iraqi soldiers at the Karbala bunker. The same Humvee-mounted M60 machine gun struck the windscreen of a van driven by SFC Troy Barlow (Mark Wahlberg) after the Humvee ran over a land mine and exploded.

Thunder 5 pistol

This is the peculiar-looking "big revolver" carried by PFC Conrad Vig. The Thunder 5 is used to threathen a group of Iraqi soldiers at the Karbala bunker, perform target practice from a moving vehicle, and finally to shoot Iraqi soldiers during the rescue of SFC Barlow. An Interesting thing to note is that this weapon is not US Army Issue (Indeed, there is a deleted scene in which Vig recieves the weapon on Easter as a gift from his parents).

AKMSU Carbine

An AKMSU carbine can be seen in the hands of the Iraqi officer in the "moving of the gold" scene at the Karbala bunker. He is later shot in the leg with his own weapon during a struggle with Major Archie Gates (George Clooney), the incident leading to a shootout between the protagonists and the Iraqis despite Gates stating it was an accident.

Makarov PM pistol

The Makarov PM pistol can be seen being used by one of the Iraqi soldiers to kill one of the Shiite refugees imprisoned at the Karbala bunker, and then being used by one of the Iraqi's interrogating Barlow when he's rescued. The pistol is then taken by Barlow who appears ready to kill his former captor, but instead fires several shots into the wall near his head.
