Rifles

FEG SA-85M

One of the Lebanese terrorists in S04E01 can be seen with what appears to be a FEG SA-85M based on its light wood furniture, ported gas block and AKM front sight.

FEG SA-85M - 7.62x39mm

Note the unusual combination of a p[ported gas tube and AKM front sight which indicates it is a FEG variant.

CSA SA Vz. 58 Compact

Sgt. Michael Stonebridge (Phillip Winchester) carries a customized CSA SA Vz. 58 Compact chambered in 5.56x45mm in S04E01. It has been fitted with a magazine well to allow it to feed from standard AR-15 magazine and has a flashlight clamped under the front sight block, a suppressor, and an Aimpoint red dot sight attached via a side mounted MIL-STD-1913 rail.

CSA SA Vz. 58 Compact - 5.56x45mm

During the firefight at the end of S04E01 the side mounting clamp of the sight rail fails causing it to fall into the actors face. This (apparent) error was kept in, but with sound effects and sparks giving the impression that it was shot off.

In subsequent shots however, the sight is present and undamaged. Note that now the attaching lever of the mount is taped down, which would suggest that the cause of it falling off was not a mechanical failure, but rather the lever catching on something and coming undone.

M4A1

Sgt. Damien Scott (Sullivan Stapleton) and DEA Special Agent Kim Martinex (Milauna Jackson) both carry rifles resembling M4A1s in S04E01. However, neither of these rifles appear to be actual M4s but rather mock ups, possibly based on fixed carry handle guns that have had the carry handle machined off and a rail bolted on in its place. Scott's rifle is fitted with an Aimpoint red dot sight and railed handguard, whilst Martinez's has a standard handguard and ACOG.

Colt M4A1 - 5.56x45mm

A side view of Scott's rifle showing the differences from a genuine M4A1. Firstly it has a tear drop shaped forward assist plunger which was replaced with a round one long before the M4 was developed. Secondly it can be seen that the rail is a different colour and made from a separate piece of metal bolted on to the receiver. Also visible at the front of the upper receiver is what appears to be the remains of the contouring where the front of the carry handle used to attach to the gun. Scott's rifle appears to be built on an A1 lower

Martinez with her rifle on the boat. Note the presence of a screw head front pivot pin and lack of a front push pin detent housing or magazine fence indicating that the rifle is built on an SP1 lower.

A side view of Martinez's rifle. Note what appears to be the contouring at the front and back of the upper receiver where a fixed carry handle was possibly previously installed. Also note that her rifle is feeding from a CAA polymer magazine.

Martinez's rifle appears to be fitted with a genuine M4 profile barrel.

Note that the contouring of the barrel which makes it superficially resemble an M4 is fake, appearing to be a short metal sleeve slipped over the barrel ahead of the front sight block.

Custom Shortened FN FAL

Custom shortened FN FAL carbines can be seen being used by one of Martinex's team, along with several Columbian Cartel guards. The resemble DSA SA58 OSW rifles, however they lack the railed top cover, along with the fact that this American made weapon would be unlikely to appear in a South African filmed production.

DSA SA58 OSW - 7.62x51mm. Aside from the railed top cover and 30 round magazine, this rifle is a very close match for the one that appears in the show.

Scott spots the FAL inside the bag belonging to one of Martinez's team.

This same weapon is also briefly seen several times being used by guards responding to Scott and Stonebridge's attack.

Other Weapons

Sgt. Damien Scott can be seen using M26 hand grenades in S04E01.
