Revision as of 09:02, 3 July 2010
The following weapons were used in the film Iron Eagle:
Carl Gustav M/45B
Some of the enemy soldiers seen in the film can be seen armed with Carl Gustav M/45B submachine guns. 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 adapters. One of them can also be seen fitted with a vertical foregrip.
AIMS Rifle
In one scene, an enemy soldier can briefly be seen armed with an AIMS rifle, identifiable by the vertical foregrip integrated into the handguard.
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.
Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun
Several enemy jeeps can be seen fitted with Browning M2HB heavy machine guns. One can also be seen mounted on a tripod during Colonel Ted Masters' trial.
Smith & Wesson Model 15
Throughout the film, U.S. Air Force Security Police personnel can be seen armed with Smith & Wesson Model 15 revolvers, though never use them.
M16A1 Rifle
In a few scenes, U.S. Air Force security personnel tasked with guarding restricted areas of the base such as the flightline can be seen carrying M16A1 rifles slung on their backs.
M61 Vulcan
The M61 Vulcan appears in the film as the secondary armament of the protagonists' F-16 Fighting Falcons, being used both to strafe ground targets, and when engaging in dogfights with enemy fighters. When the weapons are actually fired however, the close-ups show acetyline-firing mockups, as evidenced by the exaggerated, fiery muzzle blast. The sound effects are also inaccurate for the 4,000 to 6,000 rounds per minute firing rate of this weapon.
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.
