Since this movie was filmed in Israel, the weapon might actually be an Egyptian "Port Said", a license built copy of the M45.

AK-47 Rifle

Some of the enemy soldiers can also be seen with standard AK-47 rifles, fitted with Israeli blank-firing adaptors, making them resemble AKM rifles.

AKS-47 Rifle

In addition to the AK-47 rifles, some enemy soldiers can also be seen armed with folding-stock AKS-47 rifles, also with Israeli blank-firing adaptors. One of them can also be seen fitted with a vertical foregrip.

Mosin-Nagant

When Doug Masters (Jason Gedrick) is landing to rescue his father Colonel Ted Masters (Tim Thomerson), an enemy sniper wounds him with a shot to the shoulder from a modified Mosin-Nagant M38 or M44 bolt-action rifle fitted with a scope, a turned-down bolt handle and a different stock.

M16A1 Rifle

M61 Vulcan

The M61 Vulcan appears in the film as the secondary armament of the protagonists' F-16 Fighting Falcons. When the weapons are actually fired however, the close-ups show acetyline-firing mockups, as evidenced by the exaggerated, fiery muzzle blast.

M197 Vulcan

During the attack on the enemy airfield, the protagonists are engaged by AH-1F Cobra helicopters which feature an M197 Vulcan as a secondary armament, though the choppers only fire their 2.75" rockets before they are destroyed.
