Mossberg 500 Bullpup

During an operation back in Vietnam John Steele (Martin Kove) uses a Mossberg 500 Bullpup with a reflex sight and a launching bayonet which Gen. Bon Soong Kwan (Soon-Tek Oh) later takes. The weapon is anachronistic for the Vietnam War as it was not made until 1985.

Mossberg 590

One of John's squadmates in Vietnam carries a Mossberg 590. John himself later uses it to threaten some Vietnamese mobsters and said mobsters use them during a drug deal. It is anachronistic to Vietnam as it was not made until 1987. On that note this is the earliest appearance of a Mossberg 590.

Rifles

LaFrance Specialties M16K

Most soldiers in Kwan's squad have what appear to be LaFrance Specialties M16Ks. They are anachronistic as the first M16K was not produced until 1982.

MGC M-16 Model Gun Corp Replica Rifle

While the right side of the receiver is never seen to confirm this all the M16 rifles that do not fire in the film can be assumed to be MGC M-16 Model Gun Corp Replica Rifles.

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
