Starship Troopers 3: Marauder

Casper Van Dien returns as Col. Johnny Rico, a war hero in the seemingly never ending battle against a race of enormous bugs called the Arachnids. Col. Rico and his squad of troopers are called into action by his old friend Gen. Dix Hauser (Boris Kodjoe) to rescue Starship Captian Lola Beck (Jolene Blalock) and her crew from a bug infested nightmare.

Morita Mk. III

The primary weapon of the mobile infantry in Starship Troopers 3: Marauder, is the Morita Mk. III. It closely resembles the Objective Individual Combat Weapon, complete with grenade launcher and a long scope (which never seems to used by any troopers, apparently aiming is purely optional in the Mobile Infantry).

The weapon itself is actually a Vektor R5 assault rifle, a South African variant of the Galil assault rifle, housed in a very bulky looking gun mold.

Sorry but isn't that an AK-47??? Charon68

It looks like an AK-47 because the R5 which is based off of the Galil, is itself based off the AK-47 frame.

-Only most remotely. R5's have steel skeleton stocks, and synthetic fore grips. They also don't have the angled AK front sight on the barrel, the R series and the Galil have their sights on the gas tube. The red sillouette is definately an AK, not an R series rifle.

I agree, that is most definently an AK-47. The R-4 series (and therefore the Galil) may have their actions based off of the AK-47, but they do not truly resemble it.SAWGunner89 15:26, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Sgt. Bull Brittles (Stelio Savante) fires his Morita. Note that not only is he not using the scope, but he's using his left eye to sight up the bugs.

Although I am fairly sure that the scope in that fabricated weapon does not really work, it is actually not that uncommon to use a combat optic with both eyes open, in fact many sights are designed to allow that. This is so the firer has a greater degree of peripheral vision to maintain situational awareness, something which is key in a true fire-fight. For example, the EOTech HWS series and some models of the Trijicon ACOG are both designed to allow this (Trijicon's in fact has its own name, the BAC, or Bindon Aiming Concept). Just FYI.SAWGunner89 15:31, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
