The following guns were used in the film Black Hawk Down
Browning M2
The opening firefight in Black Hawk Down is a one sided affair in which a local militia leader orders the firing on of a crowd gathered to receive UN food rations while US forces can only look on helplessly. Ironically the weapon used to fire on the crowd, a Browning M2 .50 BMG machine gun, is of US design and manufacture and is also carried on the US Army HMMWVs in the film. Whether the use of the Browning M2 was an intentional choice by the filmmakers, is historically accurate, or was simply a coincidence is unknown.
GE M134 Minigun
During the slaughter of the crowd the Delta in the hovering UH-60 aren't cleared to open up the 6 barreled 7.62x51mm GE M134 minigun hanging off their Black Hawk.
M260 Rocket Launcher
The MH-6 that helps stop Atto's (George Harris) convoy carries a pair of M260 seven-tube 2.75 inch rocket launchers.
Colt M733
Busch (Richard Tyson) is the first Delta member on screen, and also the first soldier we see carrying a version of the Black Rifle, a Colt Commando M733.
M67 Hand Grenade
While loading up for the assault on the Olympic Hotel Sanderson (William Fichtner) picks up M67 fragmentation hand grenades.
M7A2 Hand Grenade
An M7A2 CS gas grenade is sitting next to the M67 fragmentation hand grenades Sanderson (William Fichtner) picks up.
M60 Machine Gun
Army Ranger Nelson (Ewen Bremner) carries a belt fed M60 machine gun chambered in 7.62mm NATO.
