Bravo Two Zero

Bravo Two Zero (1999)

Bravo Two Zero is a 1999 Gulf War film that originally aired on the BBC. The film chronicles the heroic mission of British SAS troopers dropped behind Iraqi lines during the First Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm 1990-1991). This unit later became the most highly decorated British Military Patrol unit since the last Boer War (1899-1902). Sean Bean starred in the film as SAS sergeant Andy McNab.

The following weapons were used in the film Bravo Two Zero:

M16A2/M203

M16A2s with M203 grenade launchers are used by half of the eight man British SAS patrol, including Andy McNab (Sean Bean) and Chris Ryan (Kevin Collins). The rifles feature a camouflage paint scheme, McNab having a compass attached to the side of his weapon.
