The RPG-7 looks like an AT4/something similar to me
It looks too streamlined to be an RPG-7 to me. If it were an RPG-7, shouldn't the sights be at least a bit taller? Spartan198
- Saw the film last night and I believe it was an RPG-7. --24.63.181.248 22:11, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
Actually, just looks like the sights were never flipped up.
Beretta 92FS
I was watching this video and toward the end an MNU soldier is seen holding a Beretta 92FS. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7Cy9u_-O54 -Gunman69 23:39, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
It is Beretta 92FS or Vector Z88?
Anti Material Rifle
In the fight scene with the robot, the Anti-Material Rifle used to damage his mech-suit is a Denel NTW-20. Did not get a close enough look to see if it was configured in 20mm or the smaller, higher velocity 14.5mm. Also spotted the Mechem BXP. This one is the 20mm. Olly Steele.
Drum fed large bore
I didn't get a good look, but it appeared to be an Alliance Armament Wraithmaker drum on a Saiga-12 --173.173.112.176 03:09, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Alien Weapons
I love how the main character's weapon of choice is a super-soaker-esque alien gun that shoots electricity, which he uses to make people explode in a hilarious manner-S&Wshooter 22:39, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Other alien guns are a ray gun that's like an anti-tank weapon, a mortar launcher, assault rifle, one that shoots sonic rays, a flamethrower, and some others i cant remember.
Message to Olly Steele
First off, glad to see an armorer posting on here on the movie they did. And great job on D9's weapons. But, what's up with Tunnel Rats? No offense. Also, what was that drum-fed weapon? -protoAuthor
What about 'Tunnel Rats'? It was quite a while ago that I worked on that. The drum fed weapon in D9 is the Striker 12ga shotgun. Olly Steele.
FN FAL vs. R1
I am sorry, but I cannot see how anybody can be sure that it is an FN FAL. The film obviously occurs in South Africa, and they obviously have access to a large amount of South African military technology (as exemplified by the presence of R4 series rifles, BXP submachine guns, SS-77 machine guns, NTW-20 anti-material rifles, Atlas Oryx helicopters, and Cassipir armored cars) so how can anyone be sure that this is not an R1. It fits all of the pictures I have seen of earlier-manufactured R1s (which do feature wooden furniture and contain Belgian-made components) and it only makes since that it would be an R1. Would the person who changed the article please present his case?SAWGunner89 15:06, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
- I think Olly himself edited it. He was the armourer of the movie. So if anyone knows if it's a FAL, it's him.-Oliveira 17:39, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
