Submachine guns

MP40

Members of the US Special Forces in the film are seen using MP40 submachine guns. Since the film was produced in Bosnia-Herzegovina, the SMG was most likely the closest to a western-looking firearm that the armorers could find that actually could be fired (the M16's seen earlier were replicas).

M16 Rifle (MGC Replica)

Some of the US Special Forces commanded by General Buck Swain (Tom Berenger) are armed with what appear to be M16 rifles. Closer inspection makes these rifles out to be MGC replicas.

The MGC M16 Assault rifle: a non firing metal replica built by the Model Gun Corp of Japan and one of the most used non firing replicas of the M16 in movies and television. The 'forward assist' on the early models like the one imaged here are bolt inserts to keep the receiver together. Modern MGC M16 replicas have improved by third parties over the years (like adding A1 flash hiders) making it more accurate to the real thing making it harder for 'Connoisseurs' to identify

General Buck Swain (Tom Berenger) holds the MGC replica. His scope appears to be askew.

Serbian terrorist Dushan (Mihai Baranga) takes aim with what appears to be a scoped Karabiner 98k rifle.
