The Wild Geese

SIG SG 510

Swiss StG 57. The 7.62x51mm version is called the 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 which is also seen fired in the prone position during the final firefight.

MAC-10

MAC-10 Submachine Gun - 45acp

One of the mafia killers sent to terminate Shawn Finn carries a MAC-10 Submachine Gun - 45acp

L1A1 SLR

There is a huge mix of all manners of FAL rifles in the film. The Mercenaries use a mix of LAR, FAL 50.00 and L1A1s so some of them are firing semi auto and others are firing full automatic.

British Inch Pattern L1A1 SLR (Self Loading Rifle) chambered in 7.62x51mm

Mercenaries all fire the L1A1 SLR (Self Loading Rifle) chambered in 7.62x51mm. Medical Orderly Arthur Witty (far left) carries an Uzi during his jump, uses an L1A1 during the first battle, and then switches back to an Uzi for the rest of the film.

A mercenary uses an L1A1 during the barracks attack, while Esposito (Glyn Baker) uses a full auto FN FAL 50.00 rifle - 7.62x51mm

FN FAL 50.61

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.

R1 Battle Carbine

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.

CZ Sa.23 submachine gun

A Czechoslovakian Sa.23 submachine gun with a fixed wooden stock is seen in the parachute harness of a mercenary as they prepare to do a halo jump from the C-130 transport plane. It is the 23 model because it is 9mm parabellum, the later 7.62x25mm Tokarev model has a slanted pistol grip and magazine hence the ammunition. While it might be unusual for one of the mercenaries to be carrying a communist weapon during the Cold War, the design was actually sold to and adopted by South Africa during that time period. Some may think it is a South African Sanna-77 submachine gun. The Sanna-77 was a semi-automatic SMG issued to white Afrikaan farmers during the Aparthied era as a protection weapon, however many claim that is was merely an updated Sa.24 (folding stock 9mm). This is unlikely since the Sanna-77 was only manufactured in a folding stock version.
