Discussion
The first unknown revolver looks like a Colt Python, the last one looks like a Colt Trooper Mk III. --Funkychinaman 06:36, 20 June 2012 (CDT)
- Thanks! Revolvers (and shotguns) are my weak point. I agree that Silveira's revolver is Trooper Mk III but I'm a little in a doubt about the first revolver: Pyton has a shrouded rod, and the first revolver seems to has an open rod. Greg-Z 06:53, 20 June 2012 (CDT)
- Oh, I see now. It's definitely a Colt though. --Funkychinaman 06:57, 20 June 2012 (CDT)
The unidentified rifle looks like the M14. --Funkychinaman 08:36, 20 June 2012 (CDT)
- It seems to me that the barrel is significantly shorter than on M14. Or is it the result of the angle of view? Greg-Z 08:46, 20 June 2012 (CDT)
- I think it's just the angle. --Funkychinaman 08:55, 20 June 2012 (CDT)
- Agree. Thanks! Greg-Z 08:58, 20 June 2012 (CDT)

Tanks
The 'Scorpion' tanks look more like M24 Chaffee's--The Mercenary 11:17, 21 June 2012 (CDT)
- The turret on this tanks is placed in the rear part of the hull, which matches Scorpion but not Chaffee. Greg-Z 11:47, 21 June 2012 (CDT)
- The turret doesn't look right though, and it's possible that the turret is pointing to the rear of the tank. The film was also made in the Philippines, a country that didn't use Scorpions, but did use M24s. --Funkychinaman 11:55, 21 June 2012 (CDT)
- Philippines used Scorpions, according to Wikipedia. But the version about the turned back turret fits good. OK, I'll correct the page. Greg-Z 11:58, 21 June 2012 (CDT)
- Whoops. I didn't think they'd use both. --Funkychinaman 12:33, 21 June 2012 (CDT)

Gun mantlet is totally wrong for a Scorpion, but is an exact match for the Chaffee. Here is a rear view of the Chaffee which looks like a match, so it appears the turret is backwards. Also, didn't realise this was Philippines filmed, that explains the round plungers on the M16A1 forward assists (this was typical of the Philippine made Elisco rifles). --commando552 13:42, 21 June 2012 (CDT)
- It's interesting about Philippine-made M16s. Thanks, I'll add it to the page. Greg-Z 13:50, 21 June 2012 (CDT)
Thompson
Are you sure that's a M1928A1? From this angle, we should be able to see the bolt actuator on top of the receiver, and probably the cutts compensator as well. --Funkychinaman (talk) 16:28, 12 April 2013 (EDT)
Unidentified revolver, part 2.
I have a guess that this revolver is of local Philippine manufacture. Armscor manufactures several Colt-style revolvers, one of which is M202. It has similarity with the screen-used gun, and the difference can be explained by the fact that Armscor web site contains the photo of modern version of M202 (though I couldn't find any info about Armscor revolvers that were produced in 1980s).
