Deathcheaters
Deathcheaters (Renamed Death-Cheaters when released internationally) is a 1976 Australian film directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith (The Man From Hong Kong, Turkey Shoot) about two Vietnam soldiers turned television stuntmen Steve (John Hargreaves) and Rod (Grant Page) who are offered the opportunity to infiltrate a gangster's fortress in the Philippines and find secret documents and deliver them to an aging gangster named Mr. Culpepper (Noel Ferrier).
The following firearms were used in the film Deathcheaters:
L1A1
The Australian copy of the FN FAL, The L1A1 Battle Rifle, is used by Steve (John Hargreaves) and Rod (Grant Page) in the flashbacks to the Vietnam War. Many henchmen at Hernandez's warehouse in the Philippines also use them.
MP40
Another weapon used by henchmen are German MP40 Submachine guns. One is taken by Rod and used in his raid on Hernandez's warehouse. One of Culpepper's (Noel Ferrier) men who take Rod to his facility uses one as well.
Fake M14
A very common rifle used by henchmen is an M1 Garand rifle mocked up to look like an M14. They have a fake flash hider and dummy box magazine (the rifles still fire from the 8 round blind magazine & en bloc). These were common for a time and have appeared in A Rumor of War and Commando (on racks in the hidden armory). Some of the rifles also appear to be modified BM-59s.
