Rifles & Carbines
M16A1

Other
M61 Vulcan
A structure on top of the drug factory hides a gun turret containing a pintle-mounted rotary cannon. Grating on the structure folds down to allow the cannon to fire. The weapon closely resembles an M61 Vulcan but slightly smaller. It is not known if this is an actual weapon firing blanks or a prop gun constructed for the film. The cannon closely resembles the cannon mounted on the Blue Thunder helicopter, which is supposed to be a M61 Vulcan, but was a acetylene-firing mockup.
