Revision as of 00:08, 24 May 2009
The following weapons appear in the film In the Army Now:
M16 Rifle
Several different versions of the M16 rifle appear as the standard weapon of U.S. Army personnel throughout the film, including the original M16, M16A1, and even an M16A2. At one point, PFC "Bones" Conway (Pauly Shore) tries to use an original M16 fitted with an A1-style muzzle brake and A2-style handguards to kill a cobra but runs out of ammo after firing a few shots, resorting to using the rifle as a makeshift bludgeon instead. Bones and the rest of the protagonists can later be seen firing M16's & M16A1's and other weapons in an attempt to "scare off" attacking Libyan forces.
M136 AT4
There are two appearances of M136 AT4 rocket launchers in the film. The first is when the protagonists are in basic training and a Lt. Colonel sees Bones holding an AT4 backwards and corrects him on it. The latter appearance is when the protagonists are attempting to destroy a group of Libyan SCUD missiles that are about to be launched at U.S. bases in Chad. The first rocket Bones fires is fired backwards, repeating his mistake from basic training. He then tries again with one more rocket, this shot hitting home and destroying all the SCUD launchers in a series of chain-reaction explosions.
Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun
At one point in the film, a convoy the protagonists are a part of is ambushed by Libyan forces, the protagonists being strafed by a Libyan jeep mounting a Browning M2HB heavy machine gun, though the rounds only succeed in setting their already broken-down truck on fire, leaving the protagonists otherwise unharmed.
M60E3 Machine Gun
Another weapon used by the protagonists when engaging the Libyans is an M60E3 machine gun, PFC Conway using it to flipo over a Libyan jeep. M60E3's can also be seen mounted on the front passenger seat of the desert patrol vehicles used by the protagonists near the end of the film.
M60D Machine Gun
Near the end of the film, the protagonists recover an airdrop intended for a Special Forces mission which includes a pair of desert patrol vehiclesfitted with M60D machine guns for the back passenger.
Beretta 92FS
In one scene, the protagonists are eating in the mess hall when they see a group of Special Forces soldiers including Staff Sergeant Stern (Esai Morales) who is practicing field-stripping a Beretta 92FS while being timed.
Norinco Type 56
The Norinco Type 56 appears as the primary weapon of the Libyan Army soldiers in the film, fitted with AKM-style slant compensators, with and without underfolding bayonets. One Type 56 is comandeered by Private Christine Jones (Lori Petty) when the protagonists escape from a Libyan POW camp during the confusion created by an allied airstrike. One Libyan can also be seen with a Type 56-1 fitted with an AK-74-style muzzle brake.
M1911A1
In one scene, Libyan soldiers shown monitoring the protagonists with listening devices in their POW cell can be seen carrying holstered M1911A1 pistols.
M67 Hand Grenade
During basic training, Bones is shown being trained how to use an M67 hand grenade, his Drill Sergeant instructing him to "drop the pin and throw the grenade", yet Bones does the exact opposite, causing the two to almost be killed when the grenade detonates.
M16A1/M203 Grenade Launcher
In promotional material for the film (such as the poster above), Paulie Shore can be seen wielding an M16A1/M203 grenade launcher, though never uses one on-screen.
