'''''Rambo: First Blood Part II'''''  is the 1985 sequel to 1982's ''[[First Blood]]''.  [[Sylvester Stallone]] returns as John Rambo, the former Green Beret who is given the opportunity for a Presidential pardon if he accepts a mission to confirm the existence of American POW's captured during the Vietnam War.  The film proved to be a massive blockbuster and launched the character of Rambo into the popular culture.  Directed by [[George P. Cosmatos]] and co-written by [[James Cameron]] and Stallone, the film also starred [[Richard Crenna]], [[Charles Napier]], [[Julia Nickson]] and [[Steven Berkoff]] and would be followed by three sequels: 1988's ''[[Rambo III]]'', 2008's ''[[Rambo (2008)|Rambo]]'' and 2019's ''[[Rambo: Last Blood]]''.

=Handguns=
==Zastava M57==
Seen as the sidearms of all the Vietnamese officers is the [[Tokarev TT-33 Pistol#Zastava M57|Zastava M57]], the Yugoslav copy of the Soviet [[Tokarev TT-33 Pistol|Tokarev TT-33]], which was in short supply at the time. The Chinese [[Tokarev TT-33 Pistol#Norinco Type 54/Model 213|Norinco Type 54]] would be more accurate for them to use for the film, which would be noted by a frame mounted safety switch (which these all lack).

==SIG-Sauer P226==
CIA operator Lifer ([[Andy Wood]]) pulls out a [[SIG-Sauer P226]] pistol and holds it to Colonel Trautman ([[Richard Crenna]]) when he tries to stop the chopper from leaving Rambo. It is noted as a P226 by its double stack creases on the frame. The P226 was a brand-new pistol on the US firearms market in 1984-85, when the film was made, so it is likely that ''Rambo: First Blood Part II'' is the very first movie to feature this gun (it was previously stated on IMFDb's ''[[RoboCop]]'' page that ''RoboCop'' was likely the first movie to feature a P226). It should also be noted that the P226 was competing for the spot as the official handgun of the US military (the whole reason it was designed). Although it lost the spot, it caught on with many government agencies and is still used by some some units in the army today, making this a relatively accurate appearance.
[[Image:SigP226.jpg|thumb|none|300px|SIG-Sauer P226 - 9x19mm.]]

[[Image:RamboIISIG-SauerP226-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Lifer the door gunner with his P226 fixed on Trautman. Note that unlike most SIGs in movies, the exposed top of the barrel does not appear to have been filed down, indicating that the weapon is not converted to blank-fire. The curious absence of this modification suggests that the pistol is a prototype or early production weapon that was loaned to the movie's armorers by SIGArms, which makes sense because the P226 was not available on the civilian market at the time of filming.]]

==M1911A1==
One of the Vietnamese pirates on the gun boat has an [[M1911 pistol series|M1911A1]] pistol in his holster and puts his hand on it when Rambo and Co Bao enter the boat.

=Submachine Guns=
==Heckler & Koch HK94A3 (mocked-up as MP5A3)==
The weapon issued to John Rambo ([[Sylvester Stallone]]) by his CIA controllers is a "faux" [[Heckler & Koch MP5A3]], actually a 'chopped-and-converted' [[Heckler & Koch HK94A3]] standing in for the MP5A3. He loses the weapon when he is forced to cut away his equipment when his parachute rigging gets caught up during insertion. When he is first seen loading it up, it is fitted with a 3x scope, but when he prepares for the drop, it appears to have been removed. Note that the HK94 in the film features the "slimline" handguard, rather than the more commonly seen "tropical" handguard.
[[File:H&K94Conversion.jpg|thumb|none|400px|The "Fake MP5", the Heckler & Koch HK94A3 Converted to full auto fire, shortened barrel and added third firing position on trigger pack - 9x19mm.

[[Image:RamboIIMP5A3-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Rambo tightly grasps his HK94A3 (you can clearly see the lack of a barrel lug in this picture, identifying it as an HK94).]]

==Ingram MAC-10==
When Co Bao ([[Julia Nickson-Soul]]) disguises herself as a prostitute to save Rambo, she uses a [[MAC-10]] with a mock-suppressor to fend off the Vietnamese troops.
[[Image:Ingram-mac10 new.jpg|thumb|none|400px|MAC-10 9x19mm with silencer]]

=Assault Rifles=
==AKM==
After his insertion back into Vietnam, Rambo meets up with indigenous agent Co Bao ([[Julia Nickson-Soul]]) who is armed with an [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]]. Rambo later picks up a few AKMs throughout the film to dispatch several Vietnamese and Soviet soldiers. Vietnamese and Soviet soldiers are widely seen armed with AKMs as well. As in most Hollywood movies, the AKMs in the film are all Egyptian Maadi ARM copies of the original Soviet AKM (much like in ''[[Red Dawn (1984)|Red Dawn]]''). By the time of the film's setting, the Soviet military was using the [[AK-74]], not the anachronistic AKM.

==Poly Tech Legend AK-47==
One of the Soviet soldiers is seen with a genuine AK-47, likely a [[AK-47|Poly Tech Legend AK-47]] rifle, although this may have to be confirmed due to sketchy time era.
[[Image:AK47-PolyTechLegend.jpg|thumb|450px|none|Poly Tech Legend AK-47]]
[[Image:RamboIINorincoType56-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Soviet soldier searches for Rambo armed with a possible Poly Tech Legend AK-47.]]

==M16A1==
Some of the Vietnamese pirates guarding the boat and docks are seen armed with [[M16#M16A1 Rifle|M16A1]] rifles.

==M16A1 w/ A2 hand guards==
A Vietnamese river pirate can be seen with an [[M16#M16A1 Rifle|M16A1]] fitted with A2 hand guards on the boat docks.

==MGC M16 Replica==
The M16 rifle next to the RPG-7 stored in the boat is in reality an [[M16|MGC M16]] replica rifle.

[[Image:RamboIIRPG7-1.jpg|thumb|none|601px|An MGC M16 replica seen next to the RPG-7 in the boat compartment.]]

==Valmet M78/83==
A Vietnamese pirate is seen armed with an [[Valmet M78|Valmet M78/83]] rifle in a tree. The M78/83 differs from the original M78 in that the clubfoot "[[RPK light machine gun|RPK]]-style" butt-stock was replaced with a factory [[SVD Dragunov|Dragunov]]-style thumb-hole stock. These were seen unaltered in the films ''[[Commando]]'' and ''[[Predator]]''. At least one Vietnamese soldier is seen with one of these when chasing Rambo later on in the film.
[[File:Valmet M78 83S.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Valmet M78/83S with Mauser Mark X Electro-Point 4x40 scope (converted to full-auto) - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[Image:RamboIIDragunov.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Vietnamese lookout guard armed with a Valmet M78/83.]]

==Heckler & Koch HK93A2==
A Vietnamese river pirate is seen armed with an [[Heckler & Koch HK93A2]] rifle while watching from a tree. It is far more likely to be an HK93 over an HK33 because Stembridge gun rentals had many in stock at the time and they were easier to acquire over the selective fire HK33 variant.

=Shotguns=
==Remington 870==
A Vietnamese pirate can be seen wielding a [[Remington 870]] shotgun with a wooden for-end, extended magazine tube, and folding stock. Rambo ([[Sylvester Stallone]]) fires a few rounds at the pirates with the shotgun.

==MGC Remington Model 31 Replica==
The prison guards who oversee Rambo at the beginning of the film are armed with what appear to be [[Remington Model 31]] shotguns. These appear to be replica shotguns.

=Machine Guns=
==M60E3==
The [[M60E3]] is the main weapon wielded by John Rambo ([[Sylvester Stallone]]) in the film.  It is first seen being fired by a Soviet door gunner after their UH-1 dropped napalm on the waterfall where Rambo was fleeing.  When using the machine gun, Rambo wraps the ammo belt around his left forearm in order to ensure a proper feed.  When Rambo lands the chopper at the CIA base, he picks up the [[M60E3]] machine gun from the chopper door and empties it in the command center to destroy all the high tech equipment and scare Marshall Murdock ([[Charles Napier]]).  The use of the E3 model is peculiar because it was not introduced until the 1980s, making it unlikely that this machine gun was a holdover from the Vietnam War.  A notable continuity goof is that the gun has a full-length barrel when first seen, but has a cut-down barrel when Rambo wields it.

==M60 machine gun==
CIA operator Banks ([[Andy Wood]]) mans the [[M60 machine gun]] with the bipod removed door-mounted on the Huey sent to pick up Rambo. He is seen providing covering fire with it in the rescue mission to retrieve Rambo.

==Dual Browning M3 anti-aircraft==
An opposing Vietnamese gunboat begins to blow apart the gunboat Rambo is on with dual mounted [[Browning M3 heavy machine gun|Browning M3 anti-aircraft .50 caliber guns]], noted by their perforated barrel shrouds.

[[Image:RamboIIdualM3-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another shot of the Dual M3s.]]

==DShK (mocked up M60D)==
When Rambo and the POWs escape the camp in their captured UH-1, Lt. Col. Podovsky ([[Steven Berkoff]]) chases them down in his Mil Mi-24 Hind-D (which in reality was the modified French Aerospatiale Puma first seen in ''[[Red Dawn (1984)|Red Dawn]]''). The door gunners on his Hind begin firing at Rambo with their [[M60|M60D]] machine guns mocked up with semi-similar muzzle brakes and spade grips to resemble the aircraft model [[DShK heavy machine gun]] 
[[Image:M60d.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M60D machine gun - 7.62x51mm NATO.]]

[[Image:RamboIIM60D-2.jpg|thumb|none|601px|The Soviet door-gunner is taken out by UH-1's minigun. Note the spade grips and M60D body when the door gunner is killed.]]

==GE M134 Minigun==
Mounted on the right side of the UH-1 is a [[GE M134]] minigun which is electrically fired by Rambo at the controls when he strafes the POW camp and is then manned by one of the POWs, who manages to kill a Soviet Hind door gunner with it.

[[Image:RamboIIM134-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another shot of the POW firing at the Soviet "Hind". It should be noted that the real-life Hind's Achilles' heel was the tail boom having poor armor protection, so a burst from the Minigun into the tail boom could likely have taken the Hind down.]]

=Other Weapons=
==RPG-7 (Mockup)==
Rambo disposes of an enemy boat by pulling what is supposed to be an [[RPG-7]] (which appears like the armorers of ''[[Red Dawn (1984)|Red Dawn]]'', who did this film, brought it with them from that film, albeit more convincingly dressed up) out from under a compartment in the gun boat. In promotional material for the film such as the poster above, the RPG-7 is shown with a PGO-7 scope, yet only has iron sights in the film.
[[Image:Rpg-7-1-.jpg‎ |thumb|none|450px|RPG-7 - 40mm]]

[[Image:RamboIIRPG7-2.jpg|thumb|none|601px|The warhead is clearly Soviet-marked with a 1943 date and a 7.62 mark which is strange to be place on a 70mm rocket warhead.

Apparently, a props person just copied a label from a 7.62mm cartridge box (either 39 or 54R) and put it on the warhead figuring no one would notice.]]

[[Image:RamboIIRPG7-5.jpg|thumb|none|601px|Close-up on the trigger of the RPG-7 before Rambo fires it.]]

==M72 LAW==
When Rambo crashes his chopper, Podovsky's Hind flies over to confirm the crash. Rambo plays dead until the Hind is in range, then fires (with the safety on) an [[M72 LAW]] launcher through the windshield and blows them up. It should be noted that the powerful back blast of the LAW would have likely killed or wounded all the POWs in the back of the chopper.

==Rambo's Survival Knife==
While not a gun, we let Rambo's knife stay because, well, he's Rambo and his knife completes him. Like in the original ''[[First Blood]]'', Knife-smith Jimmy Lile was asked by Stallone to design a knife for the movie.

==Hoyt Archery Rambo compound==
Another non-firearm Rambo gets away with, his Hoyt Archery compound bow which has been well know as the "Torque Bow" because of the high explosive arrow tips he looses from it. The explosive tips are actually Razorback 5 arrow tips with their protective cover on, which was handpainted with gold paint in order to make them resemble a mini warhead.

=Trivia Specials=
==Soviet uniforms==
The Soviet uniforms are American-style 'Duck Hunter' fatigues (dyed blue to resemble Soviet uniforms). Also - due to service patches Soviet soldiers are meant to be from VDV (Airborne troops corps), but they incorrectly wear black berets (the VDV uses blue-colored berets). Also the VDV shoulder patches are not 'trimmed' prior to sewing onto the sleeves.

=="Faux" Mil Mi-24 "Hind" Gunship==
The "Mi-24 Hind" seen in the film is in reality an Aérospatiale Puma originally modified for the 1984 movie ''[[Red Dawn (1984)|Red Dawn]]'', although the fake Hind-A-style front end seen in ''Red Dawn'' has been removed (primarily because it hindered pilot vision, rendered the aircraft difficult to fly and was at risk of being torn off in violent maneuvers). However, the added wings and rocket pods were maintained, since they were sturdy modifications and did not adversely affect the aerodynamics of the helicopter.

==UH-1 "Huey"==
The helicopter flown by the Soviets as well as Rambo appears to be a late model Bell UH-1 Huey.  In the context of the film, this was most likely supposed to be a South Vietnamese leftover from the war (due to the VPA making use of former ARVN weapons and vehicles after the Fall of Saigon in 1975) on loan to the Soviets.  However, this particular model appears to be one that was not introduced until after the war.   The Huey in the film is armed with an [[M60E3]] door gun, an [[M134]] minigun, and dual rocket pods.
