Despite being officially replaced the [[M21]] was fielded in both gulf wars and continues to be fielded by US Army and special forces around the world today.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | There are so many [[AK-47]]s in ''[[Black Hawk Down]]'' I doubt any other film has ever had more on screen. It's safe to assume the rifle you see almost every ''Skinny'' carry and fire is an [[AK-47]]. You'll see [[AK-47]]s with and without stocks, with and without foregrips, with and without folding stocks and every permutation in between.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | 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 [[HMMWV]]s 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]] pylon mounted miniguns are also carried by the [[MH-6]] ''Little Birds'' and rain lead in several scenes.
