Talk:Black Hawk Down
Weapon used by delta force
M4 was issued in 1994 before the battle which took place in 1993 ...the weapon seen in the movie and used by Delta operators was CAR-15
- If you'll look at the upper reciever and carry handle/rear-sight assembly, you'll see they match the M16A2-style of the early-model M4 carbine as shown in the picture above the screenshots. The CAR-15 (also known as the Colt Commando) used the recievers and carry handle/rear sight assembly of the M16A1. Orca1 9904 22:18, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
Also, the stock is wrong for the CAR15...its an M4
Isn't it more likely that Randy Shughart was actually carrying a Springfield M21 rather than the M14?
- No, he was carrying a M14 during the actual battle and it is in his Medal of Honor citiation. So its definately a M14.
