Revision as of 16:51, 16 September 2008
The following guns are used in the film Heartbreak Ridge
M16 (AR-15/SP1)
In many scenes M16 (AR-15/SP1) rifle is seen. Some of them appear to be genuine civilian AR-15/SP1s and aren't seen fired full-auto. Instead, M16A1s seem to be used to depict full-auto fire. That is, until the Grenada sequence, when the Recon platoon's weapons are both M16A1s and M16 rifles, possibly AR-15/SP1's converted to fire full-auto, perhaps do to a lack of enough M16A1 rifles for those scenes.
M16A1
Seen in the hands of several Recon Marines, used when a fully-automatic weapon is required early in the film, until Grenada when possibly all the weapons were converted to full-auto fire, perhaps do to a lack of M16A1s. They seem to have either older M16 lowers or possible civilian AR-15 lowers modified to fire full-auto, as noted by the lack of magazine fencing.
Colt 37mm Flare Launcher
One of the Marines has an AR-15/SP1 (or possible M16) fitted with an underslung Colt Flare Launcher 37mm, made to take the place of the M203 40mm launcher.
M60E1
Used by Recon Marine Private Johansson "The Swede", Used inside an armored vehicle by the Cubans, and seen on the helicopter that picks up the Recon men after the operation is complete.
AKM
Gunnery Sgt. Tom Highway (Clint Eastwood) uses an AKM to teach his recruits in basic training, by shooting at them so they know the distinct sound of an AK-47 being fired at them. Several Cuban soldiers use them as well, just as Highway said they would.
Norinco Type 56
What looks like a Norinco Type 56 is seen lying next to a dead Cuban soldier. This is assumed based on the smooth reciever and front grips. The front sights aren't seen so it is hard to be sure.
DShK
A Cuban soldier is seen firing a DShK heavy machine gun at the Recon Marines. It is most likely an M60D dressed up to look like a DShK, similair to the guns in Red Dawn, as DShKs weren't too common at the time, but it isn't seen close enough to tell. The belt feeding into it does look considerably small though.
