1988 remake of The Blob.

The Blob (1988)


MGC M16 replica

The US Army soldiers throughout the latter half of the film all use MGC M16 replica assault rifles (recognizable by the shapes of their forward assist) for the non-firing scenes. Both Brian Flagg (Kevin Dillon) and Meg Penny (Shawnee Smith) use them as well.

M16

When Meg Penny (Shawnee Smith) fires an M16 at the blob, it becomes a real M16 (SP1) with an M16A1-style flash hider. In most other scenes of the movie, the MGC replica M16s are used instead.

M72 LAW

When Dr. Meddows traps Brian, Meg and one of his own injured soldiers (Rick Avery) down in the sewer with the blob, Brian uses the soldier's M72 LAW to blast off the welded-shut manhole cover so the three can escape.
