The large assault rifle used prominently in the 1989 movie Red Scorpion by Nikolai Rachenko (Dolph Lundgren) is an FN FAL mocked up to resemble the experimental Russian Avtomat AO-63 assault rifle. The FN FAL used in the movie has been modified with twin barrels, a custom stock, the pistol grip from a Vektor SS-77 general purpose machine gun, an enlarged magazine/foregrip and a Lewis gun's drum magazine mounted on top. Upon closer inspection only the lower barrel can actually be seen firing; presumably this is because building a weapon that could fire from two barrels and fed from different magazines would be a far more difficult modification, and the discrepancy isn't that noticeable on-screen.
The "Russian Assault Rifle" and variants can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:
