John Wayne used numerous weapons in his many films. For nearly every western, he can be seen with a Model 1892 44-40 Lever Action Rifle. His rifle was distinctive in that he had a large loop style lever in place of the standard oval shaped lever. His Revolver in most westerns was a model 1873 Peacemaker .45 calibre with the short barrel, his pistol was distinctive in that he used off white (nearly yellow) bone grips in place of the standard dark wooden grips. On occasion he carried an engraved "Hideaway" Derringer with white pearl grips. This derringer featured one barrel over the other for a two shot capacity. It was named "Betsy" and was featured in the film "Big Jake".

The Thompson, it
can be said, was the first ever sub machine gun, not because it was the first of
it's type but due to the fact that its inventor, General John T Thompson
invented the term "Sub Machine Gun". With the start of WW2 the Army finally
recognized the need for submachine guns. It also recognized that the Thompson
was already obsolete. Compared to German submachine guns, the Tommy Gun was
heavier, more complex and costlier to produce. But it did have one major
advantage that the Army couldn't ignore. The M1928A1 Thompson was the only
submachine gun being mass produced in any Allied country. This alone gave it a
huge advantage over any would-be competitors, as seen in Back To
Batann.

The M11/9mm version
of the Ingram submachine gun series. Also known as the M11 long, it is similar
to the earlier M11 .380 ACP but has a much longer receiver and other slight
design changes to make it better to use. It uses plastic Zytel magazines instead
of the metal ones used in earlier Ingram's. A compact "room-sweeper" for CQB
situations, as seen in Mc.Q.
The M16 has been the main infantry and Special Forces weapon of
the United States, as well as over two dozen western countries, for almost three
decades. It is the rifle that others are compared against. It was first used in
Vietnam. The A2 variant was introduced in the late 1970's. It has an increased
barrel diameter, and the rifling is changed from 1:12 to 1:7 to accommodate the
new round developed by Belgium's Fabrique National. This round extended the
range of the rifle, and propelled a 62gr bullet with a steel core at over 3000
fps. The rear sight was modified to allow more accurate adjustments of wind-age
by hand, as well as for elevation calibrated out to 800 meters, as seen in The
Green Berets.
