SIG SG 510

Mercenary carries a Swiss StG 57. Most probably the SG 510 being that the 510 is chambered for 7.62x51mm

During the attack on the barracks, a Mercenary carries a StG 57/SIG SG 510 Assault rifle.

L1A1 SLR

British Inch Pattern L1A1 SLR (Self Loading Rifle) chambered in 7.62 Nato

Some of the Mercenaries and nearly all of the Simbas (General Endoufa's crack troops) carry the FN FAL 50.61 paratrooper rifle. This is odd, since the junta's forces are being aided by the Soviet Bloc (note the Cuban and East German military Advisors), thus it would have been more likely that the junta's soldiers are issued AK47s or other Combloc weapon.

FN LAR

Col. Allen Faulkner (Richard Burton) as well as many of the Mercenaries carry the FN LAR automatic rifle (early FAL variant)

FN LAR "Light Automatic Rifle" 1st pattern FAL - 7.62x51mm. This is the foreign equivalent of the "G" Series FAL that was imported into the U.S. during the 1960s and 70s

FN FAL 50.00

FN FAL 50.00 7.62x51mm NATO

Hardy Krueger as Lt. Pieter Coetze is using a FN FAL 50.00.

R1 Battle Carbine

300px This weapon is a chopped down L1A1 SLR with a special sight and is used by the Ex SAS member Tosh Donalson played by Ian Yule who in real life was a Mercenarie in the Congo during the 1960s under the command of Major Mike Hoare. It was said that Tosh was supposed to have this R1 variant as he is ex-SAS which made him special. I heard this weapon was an experimental weapon for South African Paratroops but never got adopted.

R-1 Battle Rifle. Full sized FN-FAL metric variant. Originally wooden stocked later issued with synthetic stock and often camoflaged by the end user with a hand applied series of paints.

-Some of the mercenaries are firing their rifles fully automatic, which means that those soldiers cannot be using L1A1s since the L1A1 SLR is Semiautomatic Only. Some soldiers seem to have the early model FN LAR (Light Automatic Rifle) which has a shape similar to the L1A1.
