| + | '''''Toy Soldiers''''' is a 1991 action film that focuses on a group of mostly problematic, non-disciplined students who have their prep school taken over by a group of Colombian terrorists. The terrorist leader, Luis Cali ([[Andrew Divoff]]) plants explosives throughout the school grounds and threatens to blow it up along with everyone in it if his demands aren't met or the school is assaulted. As the Army is called in to figure out a way to effectively deal with the situation, the students take it upon themselves to make efforts to re-take the school. In addition to Divoff, the film's cast includes [[Sean Astin]], [[Louis Gossett Jr.]], [[Michael Champion]], and [[Wil Wheaton]]. The film received assistance from the US Department of Defense, who provided UH-60 Black Hawk and AH-64 Apache helicopters (both new in Army inventory at the time) for the production. | ||

Revision as of 23:24, 11 December 2014
Toy Soldiers is a 1991 action film that focuses on a group of mostly problematic, non-disciplined students who have their prep school taken over by a group of Colombian terrorists. The terrorist leader, Luis Cali (Andrew Divoff) plants explosives throughout the school grounds and threatens to blow it up along with everyone in it if his demands aren't met or the school is assaulted. As the Army is called in to figure out a way to effectively deal with the situation, the students take it upon themselves to make efforts to re-take the school. In addition to Divoff, the film's cast includes Sean Astin, Louis Gossett Jr., Michael Champion, and Wil Wheaton. The film received assistance from the US Department of Defense, who provided UH-60 Black Hawk and AH-64 Apache helicopters (both new in Army inventory at the time) for the production.
The following weapons were used in the film Toy Soldiers:

Beretta 92SB
Jack Thorpe (Michael Champion), the American terrorist and Luis' second-in-command, uses a Beretta 92SB as his sidearm, noted by its rounded trigger guard. When Thorpe shows the Beretta to the guard when they first arrive at the school, it has a silencer mounted. An army infiltrator uses a Beretta 92SB at the end of the film to deliver the fatal shot to Luis.
"We don't want to hurt anybody.." Thorpe reveals his Beretta 92SB (with silencer mounted) to the guard.
Thorpe (Michael Champion) shoots the guard with the silenced Beretta.
Thorpe prepares to shoot the headmaster, Dr. Robert Gould (Denholm Elliott), with his Beretta 92SB before Billy runs in, late for the headcount.
Thorpe points his 92SB at Billy (Sean Astin) when he runs in.
An infiltration soldier shoots Luis in the head with his Beretta 92SB.
Browning Hi-Power
The wounded leader of the infiltrating explosives team gives Dean Edward Parker (Louis Gossett Jr.) his Browning Hi-Power sidearm when he cannot go into the building. Parker smashes through a window, alerting Luis who is holding Billy hostage. He turns around and shoots Parker in the arm, but leaves himself undefended, and is shot in turn by a member of the infiltration team.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch SP89 (Mocked up as MP5K)
Jack Thorpe (Michael Champion) and many of the other terrorists overrunning the school are armed mainly with Heckler & Koch SP89s mocked up as the Heckler & Koch MP5K. These are also seen carried by US Army Infiltration members as well. Billy Tepper (Sean Astin) steals one from a terrorist when the Army infiltrates the school and tries to ambush Luis Cali with it, but is thwarted.

Uzi Carbine
One of the terrorists is seen multiple times using an Uzi Carbine, the civilian version of the Uzi SMG, fitted with a 16-inch barrel with a barrel shroud. It seems the armorers converted it to full-auto fire for the film. It is most notably used when Joey Trotta (Wil Wheaton) knocks out a terrorist and attempts to kill another with the the Uzi, failing as the muzzle rise, very inaccurately depicted, raises his fire to the sky, and he is gunned down by the terrorist's SP89.

Rifles / Carbines
SKS
The film opens with a Colombian soldier in a personnel truck seen armed with an SKS rifle.
Heckler & Koch G3
Another soldier in the film's opening sequence is seen briefly with a Heckler & Koch G3 rifle. It could however be a Heckler & Koch HK91 rifle, but it is never seen close enough.
Steyr AUG
A Colombian soldier in the opening sequence is seen very briefly with a Steyr AUG assault rifle.
Beretta AR-70
A Colombian soldier in the opening sequence is seen briefly with an Beretta AR-70/223 carbine.
M16A1
Colombian soldiers in the opening sequence can be seen with M16A1 rifles.
Norinco Type 56-1
One of the terrorists uses a Norinco Type 56-1, as noted by its hooded front sight and under-folding stock. It is fitted with an AKM-style muzzle brake, making it similar to the gun used in Heat, meaning it was a semi-auto Chinese import, converted to full-auto fire for the film and fitted with the slanted muzzle by the gun's importer.

Poly Tech Legend AKS-47
The terrorist who commonly partners up with the other man with the 56-1 uses what appears to be a Poly Tech Legend AKS-47, a model most closely resembling a genuine AKS-47.
Ruger Mini-14
Thorpe uses an Ruger Mini-14 with a synthetic stock and scope to kill the U.S. Border Patrol officers.
Thorpe (Michael Champion) fires his Mini-14.
Colt XM177-type Carbine Variants
Most of the US Army infiltrator units assaulting the school are armed with mock XM177-type Carbines. These weapons feature 16 inch lightweight barrels with slip-over fake XM177 moderators. They are mocked up from both SP1 receiver and A1 receiver carbines.
AMAC-1500 Sniper Rifle
The infiltration unit has two snipers armed with what looks like Iver Johnson AMAC-1500 sniper rifles. They have heavy muzzle brakes and fluted barrels. One appears to be an older spec than the other based on the different muzzle brakes.
Machine Guns
Browning M1919A4
During the opening in Colombia, mounted on a Colombian Army jeep is a Browning M1919A4 machine gun.
Browning M2HB
The belltower guards set up a .50 caliber Browning M2HB heavy machine gun to watch the front gate. They notably use it to disable an approaching sheriff's car. M2HBs are also seen set-up at other parts of the school.

M60D Machine Gun
The UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, notably those transporting and dropping the infiltration soldiers into the school, are armed with two door-mounted M60D machine guns.
RPD
A Colombian soldier is seen briefly using an RPD Light Machine Gun.
Shotguns
Mossberg 500
A King's County Sheriff's deputy is seen pulling a Mossberg 500 shotgun from his police car when they first arrive on the school grounds.
Other
M72 LAW
The belltower guards use a M72 LAW anti-tank launcher to blow up the sheriff's car. Several additional LAW launchers are seen in the film. Thorpe notably attempts to use one on the infiltration Black Hawk helicopters.
Thorpe (Michael Champion) prepares a LAW rocket launcher. The rocket seen in the tube appears to be a mockup.
M67 Hand Grenade
Still partially alive after being shot by the snipers, one of the roof guards' last act is to drop an M67 hand grenade down on the infiltrating explosives team and kill all but the leader, who is wounded in the leg.
M230 Chain Gun
M230 Chain Guns are mounted on the AH-64 Apache gunships that provide cover for the infiltrator UH-60 Black Hawks during the assault on the school. It appears that that when the Apache actually seen firing its M230 (notably at Thorpe), a prop mockup that emits acetylene flame is used.
