Colt Commander

Terry's (Russell Crowe) personal sidearm is a Colt Commander. He pulls it on Mr. Fernandez's group and later gives it to Peter (David Morse) during the rescue. There must have been two different weapons used, because when he first pulls it, adjustable sights are seen.

Dino moves into position with his M4A1 in-tow.

Terry moves into position with his M4A1.

Downtown 2 surveys the area with his M4A1.

My only complaint...everyone has the "night" sight open, not the smaller rear sight which is used during the day, as it catches the most light.

It is not a "Night" site, it is in fact an 0-2 site. 0-2 standing for 0 to 200 meters and is use to quickly obtain sight alignment in close engagements. -Just your friendly neighborhood Marine

CAR-15 varients

Used in bulk by the ELT. Maybe they got a group discount.

FN Minimi

An FN Minimi is seen used by Downtown 3, fitted with an M249-style heat shield. He uses it so well, i think that Downtown 3 is the military advisor and/or an armorour.

He was actually part of the security team for the shoot; the director liked his look and put him in the film.

Downtown 3 gets to know the FN Minimi before the mission.

He also rack the slide to test the springs. Good man.

Tactical Map

I just had to mention this map, because it is so realistic. It is the exactly what a team of Special Operations Forces would use when assaulting a camp.
