Revision as of 20:43, 16 March 2009
The following weapons were used in the film Fire Birds (also known as Wings of the Apache):
M16A2 Rifle
During the mission near the end of the movie, several U.S. Army soldiers can be seen carrying M16A2 rifles, though none are fired on-screen.
FIM-92A Stinger
After Brad Little (Tommy Lee Jones)'s helicopter is shot down, Billy Lee Guthrie (Sean Young) lands her helicopter to assist him, and the two are attacked by an enemy fighter jet. Little then instructs her to remove one of the still-functioning FIM-92A Stinger missiles from his Apache and reconfigure it to be shoulder-launched, allowing Guthrie to shoot down the enemy aircraft.
M230 Chain Gun
The integral under nose armament of the AH-64 Apache gunship. The only time these guns are seen in movies are when they are attached to a Helicopter gunship. Unlike other films, where the entire helicopter and chain gun are CGI creations, we see the real deal (chain gun and helicopter) throughout this movie.
