The following weapons appear in the film Home of the Brave:

Home of the Brave (2006)

WARNING: This page contains spoilers!

M16A2 Rifle

The first and most frequently-seen weapon in the film, the M16A2 rifle appears as the main weapon of U.S. Army soldiers in the film, including Specialist Tommy Yates (Brian Presley).

Colt Model 733/933

As the protagonists' convoy is entering the city, they pass two soldiers searching and questioning an Iraqi woman. The soldiers are armed with short-barreled M16 carbines which may be either the Colt Model 733s or Model 933s depending on whether the carry handles are detachable or not (they aren't shown closely enough to be certain).

U.S. Army soldiers search and question an Iraqi woman armed with Colt Model 733s or 933s.

Colt Model 727

One of the soldiers, Specialist Jamal Aiken (Curtis James "50 Cent" Jackson III), carries a Colt Model 727 as his main weapon, with a Trijicon RX-01 red dot sight mounted on the carry handle and a Vortex-style muzzle brake. He also appears to have an M203 leaf sight mounted on the handguard, despite not having an M203 on his weapon.

M4A1/M203 Grenade Launcher

Private Jordan Owens (Chad Michael Murray) can be seen carrying an M4A1 carbine fitted with an M203 grenade launcher as his main weapon in Iraq.

Rubber Colt Model 733/M203

When Private Owens is shot and killed by an Iraqi insurgent, his M4A1/M203 transforms into an obvious rubber Colt Model 733 with what seems to be a fake M203 made out of PVC pipe that is tied to the barrel. The rubber weapon is being used because it's getting dropped, but apparently, the movie's armorer didn't have any rubber M4s in inventory.

FN Minimi Paratrooper

In addition to his M16A2, Yates is also seen using an FN Minimi Paratrooper (standing in for the M249 SAW Paratrooper) when riding as a gunner on one of the Humvees in the convoy, with a 200-round woodland camo cloth ammo bag. It is recognizable as a standard Minimi Paratrooper (and not an M249) due to the design of the hand guard and the lack of a heat shield.

Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun

In addition to the Paratrooper SAWs mentioned above, some of the Humvees in the convoy are also armed with Browning M2HB heavy machine guns mounted on the roof, though in a rather odd mounting, nearly flush with the top of the vehicle.

Beretta 92FS

There are several appearances of the Beretta 92FS (standing in for the military-issue M9) in the film, first seen in the hands of Lt. Colonel William "Will" Marsh (Samuel L. Jackson) during the convoy ambush, then in the hands of an enraged and grief-stricken soldier who threatens to shoot Col. Marsh if he doesn't treat his injured friend when the base is under insurgent mortar attack.

FPK/PSL Sniper Rifle

When the ambush on the convoy starts, the first shot is fired by an insurgent using an FPK/PSL sniper rifle, killing an Iraqi Army soldier with a shot to the neck.

AK Carbine

Most of the insurgents involved in the convoy ambush can be seen armed with a custom-made AK-47 carbine; the weapon having the hooded front sights of the Norinco Type 56, AKM-style slant compensators, short barrels, and side-folding wire frame stocks as seen on the Romanian AIMS rifle. These appear to be some of the same guns seen in Ronin (which had the same armorers as this movie).

Type 69 RPG

During the convoy ambush, one of the insurgents fires a Type 69 RPG at the convoy, destroying one of the trucks in the convoy. The weapon can be identified by having the sights mounted off-center to allow for the carrying handle.

Type 69 RPG 40mm

M1 Garand

During Pvt. Owens' funeral, the honor guard can be seen firing a gun salute using M1 Garand rifles.

Colt Match Target

When talking to his boss about having had his civilian job at a local gun store given to someone else while he was in Iraq, Yates picks up and inspects a Colt Match Target rifle. The Match Target is the "post-ban" version of the AR-15 A2 rifle (itself a semi-automatic copy of the M16A2 that Yates used in Iraq), and was sold during the era of the Assault Weapons Ban (1994-2004). It differs from the Ar-15 A2 in that it lacks either a bayonet lug or flash hider.

Smith & Wesson 4506-1

At one point, out of frustration for not being able to get effective treatment for a back injury he suffered in Iraq coupled with his girlfriend Keisha (Ginger Ewing) breaking up with him, Aiken causes a hostage standoff at the coffee shop Keisha works at, holding her and the other employees hostage while armed with a Smith & Wesson 4506-1.

Beretta 92FS Inox

At one point in the film, Marsh has a violent outburst after showing up drunk for Thanksgiving dinner, and then goes to his room and retrieves a Beretta 92FS Inox, contemplating comitting suicide, but his wife Penelope (Victoria Rowell) finds him and manages to stop him before he can carry out the act, the incident prompting the Marsh family to seek counseling.

+When talking to his boss about having had his civilian job at a local gun store given to someone else while he was in Iraq, Yates picks up and inspects a [[M16|Colt Match Target]] rifle.  The Match Target is the "post-ban" version of the [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|AR-15 A2]] rifle (itself a semi-automatic copy of the [[M16A2]] that Yates used in Iraq), and was sold during the era of the Assault Weapons Ban (1994-2004).  It differs from the Ar-15 A2 in that it lacks either a bayonet lug or flash hider.
