Over There (2005)

Over There was a 2005 television series that was one of the first to portray on a weekly basis the early days of US involvement in the Iraq War. The series was co-created by Steven Bochco, the producer behind such series as Hill Street Blues and NYPD Blue, and aired for 13 episodes in the US on the FX cable channel.

The following weapons were used in the television series Over There:


Rifles/Carbines

Colt M4A1

One of the most commonly seen weapons in the show, the M4A1 carbine is used by practically all the American characters in the show seen in Iraq, with a few exceptions. All versions have the RIS foregrip, with the exception of Pvt. Frank 'Dim' Dumphy (Luke MacFarlane), who has an M203 grenade launcher and Surefire Universal weaponlight mounted on his as mentioned below. Pvt. Avery "Angel" King (Keith Robinson) has an ACOG scope mounted atop the carry handle of his M4 due to his role as the fireteam's Designated Marksman. Most of the M4A1s are also fitted with AN/PEQ-2 IR designators. One can also be seen in the hands of a distraught Iraqi civilian whose son has been mortally wounded by an insurgent bomber, and another M4A1 is used by Colonel Ryan (Michael Cudlitz), a Special Forces officer who has a custom camouflage paint scheme, suppressor, and Surefire Universal weaponlight on his M4A1.

Colt M16A2

The standard-issue M16A2 with no frills is used by PV2 Brenda "Mrs. B" Mitchell (Nicki Aycox) and PFC Esmeralda "Doublewide" Del Rio (Lizette Carrión), due to their roles as members of a logistics unit instead of a front-line combat unit like their comrades.

AK-47

As befitting the stereotypical "bad guy" weapon, the AK-47 is seen in the hands of Iraqi insurgents that the characters end up facing in practically every episode, though are also seen in the hands of Iraqi soldiers working with the team on rare occasions.

Machine Guns

FN M249 SAW

The M249 SAW is carried by the fireteam's Automatic Rifleman, Pvt. Maurice "Smoke" Williams (Kirk "Sticky Fingaz" Jones) and several other soldiers. Smoke originally carries the standard M249, but somehow switches to the compact "paratrooper" version featuring a telescoping stock and shorter barrel in "Roadblock Duty" (S1E02). Other soldiers can also be seen using standard M249s on occasion, including a few mounted on vehicles.
