'''''Invasion U.S.A.''''' is a 1985 action film starring [[Chuck Norris]] as a former CIA operative and the only man who can stop a terrorist invasion of the continental United States. While there was a 1952 film  [[Invasion USA (1952)|of the same name]], the only common elements were an invasion on American soil by Soviet/Communist commandos using conventional weapons and the attempts by brave Americans to fight them off. The Georgia Army National Guard provided a massive amount of assistance to the production, which included several UH-1 gunships, M60 tanks, M113 APC's, and numerous soldiers.

In a flashback, Matt Hunter ([[Chuck Norris]]) holds a [[Colt M1911A1]] on Mikal Rostov ([[Richard Lynch]]). The pistol is also seen in holsters of U.S. Army and National Guard troops.

This appears to be the same pistol later used in ''[[Popeye_Doyle#1911A1_Government|Popeye Doyle]]''.

Another is used by Matt Hunter ([[Chuck Norris]]) on an M16A1 rifle with a birdcage flash hider. It is a simple tube that is attached to the barrel (via cutting holes in the A1 style handguards) and has a pistol frame grip to hold onto. The pistol grip can clearly be seen in the final scenes to be that of a Walther P-38, and the weapon may have been modeled after the [[XM148 grenade launcher]]

Invasion U.S.A. (1985). Note that in this movie poster, the Micro Uzis has been enlarged by the artist.

Invasion U.S.A. is a 1985 American action film starring Chuck Norris as a former CIA operative and the only man who can stop a terrorist invasion of the continental United States. While there was a 1952 film of the same name, the only common elements were an invasion on American soil by Soviet/Communist commandos using conventional weapons and the attempts by brave Americans to fight them off. The Georgia Army National Guard provided a massive amount of assistance to the production, which included several UH-1 gunships, M60 tanks, M113 APCs, and numerous soldiers.


The following weapons were used in the film Invasion U.S.A.:


SPOILERS.jpg WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!


Handguns

Colt M1911A1

In a flashback, Matt Hunter (Chuck Norris) holds a Colt M1911A1 on Mikal Rostov (Richard Lynch). The pistol is also seen in holsters of U.S. Army and National Guard troops. One with a scope is also seen used by Nikko (Alexander Zale), Rostov's right hand man, disguised as a National Guard soldier. This appears to be the same pistol later used in Popeye Doyle.

US troops emerge armed with their rifles. The production received a good deal of cooperation from the Georgia National Guard, who provided equipment and personnel. Note that the second soldier from the right is wearing a PASGT helmet, which had only just entered service with the U.S. military at the time of filming. This is likely the first-ever cinema appearance of PASGT gear.
M16s are carried by US troops.

MGC M16 Replica

Some of the terrorists in the final battle are seen with MGC M16 replica rifles.

M72 LAW

The M72 LAW is used throughout the film. In a flashback, Rostov prepares to use the LAW before being thwarted. Also used twice by Hunter during the final battle. Hunter first used one to destroy Rostov's helicopter and then when Hunter took it from a terrorist he killed and used it against Rostov. Also used by US Army and National Guard troops during the final assault.

Custom Underbarrel "Grenade Launcher"

Mounted under both M16A1s and M16/SP1 slab-sided rifles is an unusual custom 'grenade launcher'. Seen used by the terrorists throughout the film. In the final battle, one is used by Rostov (Richard Lynch) on a slab-sided SP1 rifle with a three-prong flash-hider. Another is used by Matt Hunter (Chuck Norris) on an M16A1 rifle with a birdcage flash-hider. It is a simple tube that is attached to the barrel (via cutting holes in the A1-style handguard) and has a pistol frame grip to hold onto. In the final scenes, the pistol grip can clearly be seen to be that of a Walther P38, and the weapon may have been modeled after the XM148 grenade launcher.

Fictional Rocket Launcher Type 1

Mikal Rostov (Richard Lynch) uses a fictional mocked-up launcher designed to slightly resemble an SA-7 Grail or Armbrust missile launcher, except he uses it in a direct fire role and he fires it multiple times without reloading.

Rostov's henchman Nikko begins to aim but Rostov stops him and takes the launcher for himself.

Fictional Rocket Launcher Type 2

During the attack on the Central Command Center in Atlanta, Rostov picks up and uses a launcher that is very similar to the previous one, but not exactly the same. It has specific design differences. This could be the secondary mockup, since this one does not fire, whereas the slightly different one before is set up to fire pyrotechnical charges.

Rostov hears something while carrying the faux launcher.
