Lifeforce (1985)

The following weapons appear in the film Lifeforce:


Steyr AUG

The Steyr AUG is shown as the standard issue rifle of the British Army in this film. "First Soldier" (Milton Cadman) and "Second Soldier" (Rupert Baker) open fire on the male vampires when they awaken. There is a continuity break as they start out with AUG carbines, but switch to full sized rifles immediately afterwards.

Miscellaneous

Despite using AUGs instead of SLRs or SA-80's, it's obvious the production got some help from the British Army, as the character are ferried around in a real army Westland Lynx helicopter.
