Mercenary for Justice is a 2006 direct-to-DVD action film directed by Don E. FauntLeRoy and starring Steven Seagal as John Seeger, who commands a squad of mercenaries hired by the CIA to carry out a coup d'état on a fictional island in Southern Africa. After his mercenaries are defeated due to the appearance of French regular troops, Seeger finds that his CIA employers are dissatisfied and now have a nearly suicidal mission for him and his men. Some of the battle scenes were filmed partially in Bulgaria (all scenes with T-72 tanks and other armored vehicles) while others were filmed in South Africa, resulting in numerous continuity errors.

The following weapons are seen in the movie Mercenary for Justice:

SPOILERS.jpg WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!



Handguns

Custom Star Model B

John Seeger (Steven Seagal) carries a custom Star Model B, standing in for the M1911A1. In the final scene this pistol is used with a sound suppressor. Anthony Chapel (Roger Guenveur Smith) and one of his henchmen are armed with nickel plated Model B pistols.

Vektor SP1

Dekerk (Vivian Bieldt) carries a pistol that what appears to be a Vektor SP1, but differs in some details including the shape of cocking serrations.

PPSh-41

PPSh-41 submachine gun with a 71 round drum magazine is seen in hands of a mercenary in the opening scene. Many PPSh-41 were captured by South African army during the border conflicts with Angola and Mozambique, so it's not surprising to see PPSh in South African filmed movie.

During the mission in Cape Town Kruger (Langley Kirkwood), Dekerk (Vivian Bieldt) and other mercenaries are armed with submachine guns that look like Heckler & Koch MP5A3 but really are visually modified PPS-43s. The same weapons can be seen in Behind Enemy Lines II: Axis of Evil that was also filmed in Bulgaria.

Assault Rifles

Vektor R5

Vektor R5 assault rifles are the most widely used guns in this movie. They are seen in hands of mercenaries, French commandos, Cape Town police officers, and Chapel's henchmen. Some of these R5 can be LM5, semi-automatic civilian version of this assault rifle.

Dekerk (Vivian Bieldt) aims a Vektor R5 with front grip. Next to him Kruger (Langley Kirkwood) holds a Vektor SS-77 machine gun.
A wounded Cape Town SWAT officer drops his R5 with front grip.

Vektor R5 (visually modified to resemble AK-47)

Many R5s are visually modified to resemble the AK-47 assault rifles. They are fitted with the wooden furniture and AK-style compensators but still can be identified by their angled receivers and Galil-style 5.56mm magazines. Most mercenaries are armed with such rifles.

Fake AK-47

The first version of fake AK has a longer barrel and wooden buttstock and resembles AK-47.

AK-47

Genuine AK-47s can also be seen in the movie. They are probably from Bulgarian arsenals (the Bulgarian army used 7.62mm AKs for the longest time of all Eastern Europe states).

Final Production version of the Type III AK-47 with cleaning rod removed and laminated stock - 7.62x39mm
A prison guard is killed by throwing knife and falls, dropping his AK-47.

SIG SG 550 (Airsoft Replica)

Several French commandos are armed with assault rifles that resembles the SIG SG 550 but appear to be airsoft replicas. More specifically it appears to be a Spring JP Air Sports Combat 912A, as noted by the shape of the handguard with a bracket for the bipod, and the shape of the magazine. This same replica can be seen in other Bulgarian filmes movies, such as Infestation.
