World War III
| ||||||||||||||||||||||
The following weapons were used in the miniseries World War III:
Pistols
M1911A1
The M1911A1 pistol is carried by several US officers in the miniseries, including Colonel Jake Caffey (David Soul) and Capt. Angel Cordobes (Richard Yniguez).
Walther PP
Commander Alexander Vorashin (Jeroen Krabbé) carries what appears to be a Walther PP Pistol as his sidearm. In reality, the pistol was probably supposed to be a Makarov PM.
Rifles/Carbines
M16 (SP1)
The majority of the US troops in the miniseries are armed with M16 (SP1) rifles with slab-side receivers. The M16s used in this scene are a mixture of rifles with 3-prong flash hiders and rifles with M16A1-style "birdcage" flash hiders.
Valmet M76 Carbine
Soviet troops appear to be armed with the Valmet M76 Carbine. The use of these rifles were meant to be a substitute for such AK rifles as the AKS-47.
Valmet M71S
Other Soviet troops are armed with the Valmet M71S rifle. It was common for productions made in the 1970's and early 1980's to use the Valmet M71S rifle is as a substitute for the AK-47.
