I am pretty sure it was not a recoiless rifle used to hit the LAPD APC in the movie. If I remember the scene correctly it seemed more like a bazooka a la the USMC SMAW (the Israeli B-300) where the missle/rocket is in a separate tube screwed into the rear of the launcher. In addition the launcher itself does not have the "crank" to close the rear hatch as is the case with most recoiless weapons. Finally, the reloads shown in the movie do not have the perforated shielding common to most/all recoiless rifle rounds.

I don't have this on DVD but I swear at least one of them is a chopped down HK94 and not an A3. During the elavator scene, you can see it is missing a paddle mag release and 3 lugs on the barrel end. If someone could cap that, it would be much appreciated. -GM
They're all chopped-down HK94s, every one of them, just like in Lethal Weapon and Predator. I have this movie on DVD, so I'll try to screencap the MP5s when I'm back at my apartment tomorrow.

Nice work with the page! It was in much need of better shots. I have 2, 3, and 4 on DVD, but 1 on VHS. I guess now 1, 2, and 3 are your work mainly. Excellent work. -GM

Thanks, I've been meaning to redo the page. I especially wanted to get rid of the screengrabs taken from Youtube videos, those didn't look too great. Anyway, now everyone can say IMFDB has completed pages of every film in the Die Hard series.--Alienqueen11 05:26, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Heckler & Koch never made a stainless version of their P7, it´s either nickel plated or hard chromed. Keep up the good work.

Recoilless rifle

I've taken a look around and I can't see any recoilless with a tube that looks like that one at the back. Thing is, there are some recoilless rifles with muzzles that look like that; if it's not a prop, it looks like they mounted it backwards. Dongs 07:05, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
