Heaven's Soldiers (Korean: 천군, Cheongun) is a 2005 South Korean science fiction action-comedy directed by Min Joon-ki.

The North and South Korean governments have secretly joined forces to create a nuclear warhead. But when the United Nations force the end of the project and demands the surrender of the weapon, the North Korean General Kang steals the bomb. A South Korean commando team is sent to stop him. During the battle, a total of eight soldiers from both sides inadvertently fall into a spatiotemporal rift that transports them to the year 1572, where the Joseon kingdom finds itself beset by invaders.


The following weapons were used in the film Heaven's Soldiers:

Pistols

Beretta 92FS

General Kang carries an inaccurate Beretta 92FS as a North Korea officer, who would likely carry a more appropriate TT-33 or a Baekdusan CZ-75 clone. During the final battle, Major Park also uses it.

Rifles

M4A1

ROKA soldiers primarily use the M4A1. Sergeant Lee uses it during the final battle and when it runs out of ammo, he uses it with a bayonet as a melee weapon.

Norinco Type 56

At the beginning of the movie, Korean People's Army soldiers are seen holding AK-74 rifles, but in a continuity error, they switch for Norinco Type 56s with synthetic furniture. General Kang uses a Type 56-2 at the end of the movie.

Sniper Rifles

Heckler & Koch PSG-1

ROKA soldiers use the PSG-1 as their sniper rifle. It is briefly used by General Kang when he tries to kill a Jurchen commander. At the end, Major Park kills almost all the riders with the rifle.

Grenades

RGD-5

RGD-5s are the grenades carried by the North Koreans. A Joseon official, who obviously doesn’t know what is it, removes and replaces the pin three times as torture, as he sees the modern soldiers panicking when he does it.
