Black Hawk Down is the 2001 feature moving-picture show adaptation of the non-fiction Mark Bowden book that recounted the events surrounding the ill-fated US mission to capture a Somali warlord in 1993.

The motion picture received support from the United states Section of Defense, who provided extensive grooming for the actors with members of the United states of america Ground forces Ranger and other Special Forces soldiers to ensure authenticity in addition to allowing access to actual Blackness Hawk and "Little Bird" helicopters for filming. During the film's production, many of the soldiers and pilots seen were active duty, some of whom were veterans of the actual boxing. The picture show'due south cast included Josh Hartnett, Eric Bana, William Fichtner, Ewan McGregor and Sam Shepard as well as Tom Hardy and Ioan Gruffudd in early roles.

Rifles / Carbines

Filly Model 727

Many of the Delta Force operators are armed with the Colt Model 727 fitted with diverse accessories such as Aimpoint scopes and SureFire 660 flashlights, some of the carbines also have camouflage paint schemes. Delta Staff Sergeant Daniel Busch (Richard Tyson), Sergeant First Course Norm "Hoot" Gibson (Eric Bana), Master Sergeant Chris Wex (Kim Coates), and SFC Jeff Sanderson (William Fichtner) all carry the Model 727.

In real life, the older Colt Model 653 and Colt Model 723 would have been the carbines used by Delta operators during Operation Gothic Serpent. The Colt Model 727 would have been more mutual amongst the Rangers and not Delta. In the film, most of the Model 727 carbines are as well anachronistically equipped with Aimpoint CompM2 reflex sights (which was non available commercially until 17 March 1995, and afterwards standardized into the SOPMOD kit in 2000). During Operation Gothic Snake, some Delta operators and Rangers utilized the Aimpoint 3000 and 5000 reflex sights.

Colt Model 733

Various Delta Force operators and Army Rangers are armed with the short-barreled Filly Model 733. Some are standard 733s, while others are customized with camouflage paint schemes and Aimpoint scopes (similar to the aforementioned Model 727s). Some of the weapons take a XM177-style flash-hider instead of the standard barrel with A2 flash-hider. 1 item Model 733 used by Delta MSG Gary Gordon (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and afterward Primary Warrant Officer three Mike Durant (Ron Eldard) is heavily modified with a camouflage paint scheme, anachronistic Aimpoint CompM2 reddish-dot telescopic, weaponlight, and a sound suppressor.

In history, Gordon'due south carbine was actually a Colt Model 723 (like all other Deltas were using at the fourth dimension) with an OPSINC suppressor sleeved over the barrel.

Colt Model 733 ("M16A2 Commando") - 5.56x45mm. This item Model 733 features an A1E1 upper receiver, noted by the brass-deflector with the A1 sights. The variants in the film feature A2 uppers. M733s were available with A1, A1E1 and A2 upper receiver units.

Some other Delta operator engages a Somali technical with his M733. This has a camouflage paint scheme, Aimpoint CompM2 scope, and XM177-way flash-hider. This greatly resembles another Colt carbine used in Blood Diamond, and could be the same weapon, since the weapons were supplied by the aforementioned company in both films.

Colt M4 Carbine

For several of the sequences that involved stuntwork, a number of non-firing rubber prop M4 Carbines are seen in the hands of the Delta operators. They are recognizable by the knobs on the carry handles which indicate that the conduct handles are detachable, which is the distinguishing visual feature of the M4. The use of these weapons - fifty-fifty in rubber prop form - is anachronistic every bit the M4 Carbine was not adopted past the U.S. military (not even U.South. SOCOM) until 1994, the twelvemonth after the events of the film took place.

Note: While prototype models of the M4 existed at the time of Operation Gothic Ophidian, and conceivably might take been bachelor to Delta, all epitome models of the M4 used stock-still carry handle upper receiver assemblies. Further, when the M4 entered service in 1994, the initial standard was the Colt Model 777, which had a fixed carry handle. The flattop receiver Colt Model 920 and Model 921 - two Filly carbines which eventually became standardized equally the M4 and M4A1, respectively - neither existed nor entered service until 1995, after the initial buy of Model 777s. Photographs of the events leading up to Operation Gothic Serpent, also as research by enthusiasts, take confirmed that in fact Delta used Colt Model 653s and 723s during the operation - encounter the Colt Model 727 department to a higher place.

Colt M4 Carbine - 5.56x45mm NATO

Captain Mike Steele (Jason Isaacs) points out the fact that the selector switch on the carbine carried by SFC "Hoot" Gibson (Eric Bana) isn't set to "Safe", who and so replies "This is my safety" and bends his trigger finger. The selector switch appears to be molded into the receiver, making it likely this is actually a rubber stunt prop. (The book states Hoot had only cleared the chamber and pulled the trigger before inserting the magazine, making it unable to engage the safety due to the hammer being down.)

The one in the middle holds a inconspicuous Model 733 with XM177-mode flash-hider. While not obvious, the operator on the left has a Model 733 (the 11.5-inch butt is visible in other images taken during the same serial of photographs).

M16A2

Most of the Rangers, including SSG Matt Eversmann (Josh Hartnett), are armed with M16A2 Rifles. While defending the 2d Blackness Hawk crash site, SFC Randy Shughart (Johnny Potent) can be seen briefly using an M16A2, aslope his M14. Also, when CPT Steele (Jason Isaacs) tells SSG Eversmann that they have to secure the perimeter for the SAR chopper, the Ranger lying prone in the background appears to be working the forward help on his M16A2.

It should exist noted that Rangers weren't just issued the M16A2 during Operation Gothic Ophidian - they also used the Filly Model 727, which was so sold commercially by Colt equally the "M16A2 Carbine". Despite the picture show's portrayal of Delta Force using the M727, it is inaccurate as in reality they used Colt Model 653 and Filly Model 723 carbines; the Rangers would accept used the M727 in selected roles such as NCOs, COs, or in the case of the film, radiomen and possibly medics.

Delta Forcefulness SFC Randy Shughart (Johnny Strong) switches betwixt his M14 and an M16A2 every bit the Delta snipers defend their position at the second crash site. He must accept establish an M16A2 in the chopper because in Mike Durant'southward volume "In the Company of Heroes" it says Shughart asked Durant if there were any weapons in the chopper.

This is probably the only Ranger in the film fire bursts from his M16A2. Rangers are usually trained non to fire in bursts unless "they have a damn good reason", as quoted by several Drill Sergeants. Nonetheless this example may certainly qualify as a "damn good reason".

Special

M14

The M14 rifle is used by Delta Force Sergeant First Class Randy Shughart (Johnny Stiff), most notably when he and MSG Gary Gordon (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) are covering the second crash site. His M14 has a camouflage paint scheme and an Aimpoint CompM2/M68 reflex sight.

Heckler & Koch G3A3

The local militia arm themselves with Heckler & Koch G3 rifles among many weapons. Both older variants and newer G3A3 variants are seen in the film. The older variants were previously ID'd every bit CETME Rifles, which is incorrect - The furniture, magazines, trigger housings and receivers are incorrect for CETMEs. The fixed rear sights, while generally associated with CETMEs, were as well used on older-spec G3 rifles. The distinctive (and more usually seen) H&One thousand adjustable spindle/drum rear sight was but first introduced with the G3A3.

A pistol grip (minus the folding stock) is used in place of the full stock. This same setup is used on a short 870 by Charlie Sheen in the film Navy SEALs. In a deleted scene, SFC Sanderson uses the shotgun to blow the hinges on a door inside the target building. The tail terminate of this shot is still in the finished film, although if y'all haven't seen the deleted scene earlier it would be hard to spot.

Handguns

Colt M1911A1

The Colt M1911A1 pistol is used by the Delta operators as their sidearm of option. The weapon is near notably seen in the hands of Gordon and Shughart as two Delta snipers effort to secure the second crash site and are forced to describe their M1911A1 pistols as the overwhelming Somalis shut in on them.

Launchers

RPG-7
