Unidentified This article currently has one or more unidentified weapons. |
Mercenary for Justice is a 2006 direct-to-DVD action movie directed by Don E. FauntLeRoy and starring Steven Seagal as a mercenary John Seeger. In the opening scene Seeger commands a squad of mercenaries who carried out the coup d'état on a fictional island in Southern Africa but were defeated due to the appearance of French regular troops. Seeger's employers from CIA are dissatisfied and now they have a nearly suicidal mission for him and his men. In order to make the mercenary leader to agree on this work, they kidnap two persons dearest to Seeger. And this was a grave mistake...
The war scene was filmed partially in Bulgaria (all scenes with T-72 tanks and other armoured vehicles) and partially in South Africa, resulting in numerous continuity errors.
The following weapons are seen in the movie Mercenary for Justice:
WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Handguns
Custom M1911A1
As in many other movies, Steven Seagal's character John Seeger carries a custom M1911A1. In the final scene this pistol is used with a sound suppressor.

Several characters are armed with Vektor Z88 pistols, South African copies of Beretta 92FS.
Vektor SP1 ?
Dekerk (Vivian Bieldt) carries a pistol that look mostly like Vektor SP1 but differs in some details including the shape of cocking serrations.

PPSh-41
PPSh-41 submachine gun with a 71 round drum magazine is seen in hands of a mercenary in the opening scene. Many PPSh-41 were captured by South African army during the border conflicts with Angola and Mozambique, so it's not surprising to see PPSh in South African filmed movie.
Heckler & Koch HK94
During the mission in Cape Town Kruger (Langley Kirkwood), Dekerk (Vivian Bieldt) and other mercenaries are armed with Heckler & Koch HK94, chopped and converted to look like Heckler & Koch MP5A3 submachine guns. HK94 can be identified by the barrels which are longer then real MP5A3s.

Unidentified shotguns
Assault Rifles
Vektor R5
Vektor R5 assault rifles are the most widely used guns in this movie. They are seen in hands of mercenaries, French commandos, Cape Town police officers, and Chapel's henchmen. Some of these R5 can be LM5, semi-automatic civilian version of this assault rifle.
In several scenes a version of R5 with additional front grip can be seen.
Vector R5 (visually modified to resemble AK-47)
Many R5s are visually modified to resemble the AK-47 assault rifles. They are fitted with the wooden furniture and AK-style compensators but still can be identified by their angled receivers and Galil-style 5.56mm magazines. Most mercenaries are armed with such rifles.
Fake AK-47
The first version of fake AK has a longer barrel and wooden buttstock and resembles AK-47.
Fake short AK
The second version has the original R5 barrel and folding stock and is fitted only with wooden stock and grip. It distantly resembles AKS-74U or AKMSU.

Heckler & Koch G3
Heckler & Koch G3 assault rifles are seen in hands of Greek soldiers during the scene in the house of Ahmet Dasan (Peter Butler) in Athens. These guns can be airsoft ones because this scene was also filmed in South Africa where real G3s weren't used.
M4 Carbine

PKT machine gun
