Invasion USA (1952)

Invasion USA is a 1952 drama that depicts an enemy invasion of the United States. The enemy was never specifically identified in the film, but clearly meant to be Soviet forces (as the film was set during the height of the Cold War). In the film, enemy paratroopers jump into the nation's capitol, dressed as U.S. Army paratroopers and take over Washington DC as well as the rest of the country. An entirely wretched film, its popularity has increased since being lampooned on "Mystery Science Theatre 3000" aka "MST3K".

The following weapons were used in the film Invasion USA (1952):
