Stealth (2005)

The following weapons appear in the film Stealth:


Bofors 40mm

During the introductory sequence, the fictional F/A-37 "Talon" fighter piloted by Lt. Kara Wade (Jessica Biel) is fired on by antiaircraft guns, including a 40mm Bofors gun in a single mount.

M61 Vulcan

M61 Vulcan cannons are presumably mounted on the various US fighters seen during the movie, but are also seen clearly; several appear in the introduction in M167 Vulcan Air Defence System (VADS) towed mountings, while others are visible in Phalanx installations on the the carrier USS Abraham Lincoln.

GE M61 Vulcan - 20mm
GE M61 Vulcan Cannon in a Phalanx mounting - 20mm
An M167 VADS with a 20mm M61 Vulcan opens fire as one of the Talon fighters passes by. It isn't particularly clear why the aircraft are practising against this obsolete system; the last M167 VADS was retired from service in 1994.
The VADS swings around, firing constantly; the fire control radar is briefly visible as it points into the camera.
Another VADS opens fire on the aircraft piloted by Lt. Ben Gannon (Josh Lucas). Note that the M61 is not firing blanks in this scene, as no spent casings are coming out of the chute on the side of the gun; the muzzle flashes are post-production CG additions.
The white fire control radars of two of the Abraham Lincoln's three Phalanx installations are visible to the left and right of her foredeck.

M16A2 Rifle

The M16A2 rifle is the standard weapon of US military personnel, most notably the US Marines on the Naval Vessels.

M16A2 - 5.56x45mm

Beretta 92FS

The Beretta 92FS is the standard sidearm of US military personnel.

Beretta 92FS - 9x19mm

Norinco Type 56

The Chinese AK/AKM variant, the Type 56 (and 56-1 the folding stock version) are the most commonly seen AK47/AKM rifle in movies and television (at least those done by U.S. Production companies). The Type 56 (full stock) version is commonly seen in the movie, usually in the hands of terrorists of many different stripes. Terrorist guards from several organizations are seen wielding the weapon in Rangoon, Islamic Extremists in a mountain fortress in Tajikistan, and North Korean Soldiers.

Norinco Type 56-1 (under-folding stock variant) - 7.62x39mm
Tajikistan terrorists run with Type 56 AKs. Type 56-1 folding stock versions are also used in large numbers - 7.62x39mm

AK-47

In addition to the many Norinco Type 56 Chinese AK rifles, terrorists are also seen wielding what looks like original milled receiver AK-47 rifles with original front sights (not the hooded Type 56 sights). However, being how 'new' they look, they can be the third pattern AK-47 "Legend Series" rifles imported by Poly Technologies, Inc, between 1988-1989. Those were high end identical clones of the original AK-47 rifles but very few were imported.

Poly Technologies AK-47 - 7.62x39mm. This is the commercial clone of the original Type III AK-47 and is the most used in American films and shows when showing the milled receiver AK-47

Norinco Type 56 Target

Tajikistan terrorists are seen using a long barreled Type 56 variant rifle. It has an underfolding stock and a long barrel but no bipod.
