Valley of the Wolves: Iraq
Valley of the Wolves: Iraq (Turkish title: Kurtlar Vadisi: Irak) is a 2006 Turkish action film directed by Serdar Akar about a former Turkish intelligence agent (Necati Sasmaz) who leads a commando team into Iraq to seek revenge on an American special forces officer (Billy Zane) for the detention and humiliation of Turkish soldiers. The film gained some notoriety when it was released for its strongly anti-American tone, including depictions of American soldiers abusing prisoners and committing atrocities.
The following weapons are seen in the film Valley of the Wolves: Iraq:
Handguns
Beretta 92FS
The Beretta 92FS is used by Lieutenant Suleyman Aslan (Tayfun Eraslan), one of the Turkish soldiers arrested by the Americans, to shoot himself out of shame at the beginning of the film. Memati (Gurkhan Uygun), one of the protagonists, also uses a Beretta 92FS as his main weapon throughout the film. These pistols are likely replicas due to the large amounts of sparks and smoke that they generate when fired.
Umarex GPDA
Polat Alemdar (Necati Sasmaz) and his fellow agents Erhan (Erhan Ufak) and Abdulhey (Kenan Coban) all use Umarex GPDA pistols throughout the film, Abdulhey using a nickel-plated version. Colonel Sam William Marshall (Billy Zane) also uses a GPDA to shoot a man he suspects of collaborating with the Turks.
Unknown revolver
Col. Marshall uses an unknown revolver during the finale. Like the other handguns in the film, it is likely a replica of some kind.
Rifles
Heckler & Koch G36C (airsoft)
U.S. Special Forces soldiers use the Heckler & Koch G36C when they arrest a team of Turkish commandos at the beginning of the film. Since the rifles are never fired, it is likely that these are airsoft G36Cs that are made by several companies, most notably Umarex.
M16A2
Most of the U.S. Army soldiers in the film wield M16A2 rifles with attached flashlights.
M16A1 (With M16A2 Handguards)
When the M16A2s are fired, they turn into M16A1 rifles with M16A2 handguards. The Special Forces troops that assault an Iraqi village in the finale are largely armed with the M16A1 as well.
M4A1 Carbine
Some of the American soldiers use M4A1 carbines with flashlights and red dot sights mounted on the handguard. Like the M16A2, these are never shown firing during the film.
Colt Model 723
Polat uses a Colt Model 723 carbine during the finale. As with many weapons in the film, the Colt Model 723 may be yet another replica due to its similarity with the cap-firing MGC M16A2 Carbine.
AK-47
Various Kurdish Peshmerga soldiers and Iraqis are seen wielding non-firing AK-47 and AKS-47 rifles.
AKMS
AKMS rifles are used during firing scenes, most noticeably when Polat uses one to kill a Peshmerga officer at a roadblock.
Unknown Sniper Rifle
Polat uses a bolt-action sniper rifle during an attempt to kill Marshall when he meets with Iraqi officials.
Machine Guns
MG3
A Turkish commando uses a MG3 machine gun while facing off against American soldiers in the introduction.
Fake Browning M2 Heavy Machine Gun
Browning M2 heavy machine guns are mounted on American Humvees. The weapons are smaller than the real M2, and are clearly fakes.
Fake NSV Heavy Machine Gun
Another weapon mounted on the Humvees is a machine gun that resembles a NSV heavy machine gun.
Other
M72 LAW
Special Forces soldiers use M72 LAW rocket launchers to blast various buildings in the finale.
