 Nice, but where's the trigger? This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it. |
The following guns were used in the movie Apocalypse Now
I will do the rest of the uploads and the text Tues evening. -Predator20
M16A1
M16A1s are used by various characters throughout the film. Since this film takes place in the early '70s, the introduction of the 30-round magazine is historically accurate.
M60 machine gun
M60 machine guns are mounted on both Col. Kilgore's (Robert Duvall) choppers during the battle at Vinh Din Drop and the Navy PBR, used by the crew to travel up river.
M60D
Browning M2
- Add more info to the description and captions to the images so I have more to work with. - Gunmaster45
M1911A1
An M1911A1 is seen on Capt. Benjamin Willard (Martin Sheen) nightstand in hotel bedroom in Saigon at the start of the film. Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore (Robert Duvall) uses one as his sidearm throughout the movie.
M79 grenade launcher
An M79 grenade launcher is used by Roach (Herb Rice) to kill an NVA soldier hiding in the barbed wire during the scene at the Do Lung bridge. Roach had customized his with a tiger-strip paint job.
GE M134 Minigun
A GE M134 Minigun is seen door-mounted on one of the UH-1 Huey choppers during the famous raid scene. Being that the movie was filmed in the Philippines, they also supplied the helicopters which were outfitted with real guns. Since the weapons require no blank adaption to fire, all they needed was lots of blank ammunition to get the guns running.
ZU-23 AA Gun
I guess this is right, gun type was already on the page. If not please correct me. Thanks -Predator20
- Based on the shape of the reciever, I'd say it's a Browning M2HB mocked up as the ZU-23 gun, but like you, I don't know that weapon. - Gunmaster45
AK-47
Simonov SKS
Ithaca 37
Lt. Colby (Scott Glenn) seems to be carrying a Ithaca 37.
- Based on the screencap you gave me, it was a Winchester Model 12 Trench. - Gunmaster45
- Oh my bad, it's an Ithaca 37 with the trench style heat shield and bayonet lug. - Gunmaster45
- Well you ain't worth a sh*t. Predator20
- Oh my bad, it's an Ithaca 37 with the trench style heat shield and bayonet lug. - Gunmaster45
M2 Carbine
Most of the colonists seem to be armed with the M2 Carbine.
- I'd say they are more likely M2 Carbines, they have 30-round magazines and I think I see selector switches. - Gunmaster45
Okay I'll fix both of them. 1200 and M1 is what was on the page. Did you read the talk for this page? Predator20
