White House Down is a 2013 action film directed by Roland Emmerich (2012, Independence Day). Channing Tatum stars as John Cale, a Capitol Police Officer and failed Secret Service applicant who finds himself trapped after heavily armed mercenaries seize the White House. He then proceeds to find President James Sawyer (Jamie Foxx) and the two try to find a way to thwart the terrorists. The film was released in the U.S. on June 28, 2013, only a few months following the release of the similarly-themed Olympus Has Fallen.

The following weapons were used in the film White House Down:

Other

FGM-148 Javelin

The mercenaries use a FGM-148 Javelin to fend off attacking helicopters. It is erroneously shown being used in an anti-air role, despite being an anti-tank weapon. The Javelin also fires like a standard hard-launch missile launcher, instead of a soft-launch (where the missile is pneumatically ejected a safe distance and then ignites its motor).

RPG-7

Airtronic RPG-7

President James Sawyer (Jamie Foxx) uses an RPG-7D paratrooper model made to look like the Airtronic RPG-7 in the film. It is done so by the addition of the M4-style stock and RIS rails. The type used is distinguishable from the standard RPG-7 by its takedown feature and the safety latch extension that is visible under the launch tube to prevent the sear from functioning when the launcher is in two pieces. Two separate rocket types can be seen being used with this weapon; the PG-7VM and the larger PG-7VL.
