Tomorrow, When the War Began
Tomorrow, When the War Began is a 2010 Australian film directed by first-timer Stuart Bettie set in a rural New South Wales town. When several teenagers go camping in the woods shortly before the end of their summer vacation, they return home to find out that their nation has been conquered by a hostile enemy force. (The nation(s) are never named, even though the enemy soldiers in the film are clearly of Asian heritage; instead, it is mentioned to be a coalition of Asian territories). The teens decide to hit back using guerrilla warfare.
The following weapons were used in the film Tomorrow, When the War Began:
Rifles
AK-74
The main weapon of the Coalition forces in Tomorrow, When the War Began is the AK-74 rifle. It is modified with a ribbed metal magazine vs the smooth plastic one, and a rail mount designed for various attachments (the only one used in the film is a tactical flashlight mounted underneath the forward grip). After her first encounter with Coalition troops, Ellie Linton (Caitlin Stasey) scavenges an AK-74 from a dead enemy soldier, which several of the group ends up using at one time or another.
AKMS
Several AKMS rifles are seen at the end of the movie as part of a captured enemy weapons stockpile and carried by Fiona Maxwell (Phoebe Tonkin) (probably because of its light-weight compared to the AK-74).
Winchester Model 70
A pair of Winchester Model 70 hunting rifles are taken on the camping trip. They make another appearance at the end during the guerrilla raid on the bridge and when the group shows off their armament.
Ruger Mini-14
A Ruger Mini-14 rifle, no doubt family-owned, is briefly seen carried by Chris Lang (Andy Ryan) at the end.
