Mission 58 - Weapons
Assault on Iran

 Friendly Forces
HECKLER AND KOCH
THE HECKLER AND KOCH Mk. 23 S.O.C.O.M
As its name implies, USSOCOM is responsible for conducting highly specialized unconventional warfare missions. [show more...]
The SOCOM is a field pistol with match grade accuracy, not a target pistol that you take to the field. Rather than rely on exotic parts and complex mechanisms, the SOCOM was developed to be ruggedly simplistic and solidly accurate.

Weight: 2.66 pounds (1.21 kg) unloaded; 3.47 pounds (1.576 kg) with loaded 12-round magazine
Caliber: .45 ACP


M249 Light Machine Gun
M249 Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW) light machine gun
The SAW is a lightweight, gas-operated machine gun fed by a magazine or metallic link-belt that disintegrates. It is man-portable and designed to combine a high volume of fire with accuracy almost equal to a rifle. [show more...]
The SAW entered the field in the mid-1980’s to fill in the gap caused by the retirement of the Browning Automatic Rifle 30 years earlier.

Primary function: 5.56 mm light machine gun for use in infantry squads

Weight:With bipod and tools, 15.16 pounds (6.88 kilograms); 200-round box magazine adds 6.92 pounds (3.14 kilograms); 30-round magazine adds 1.07 pounds (0.49 kilograms)

Maximum effective range:3,281 feet (1,000 meters)

Rate of fire:Cyclic, 725 rounds per minute; sustained, 85 rounds per minute


5.56-millimeter M4 carbine with M203 grenade launcher
5.56-millimeter M4 carbine with M203 grenade launcher
This weapon was designed as a shorter, lightweight alternative to the M16A2 rifle, to give soldiers the ability to engage the enemy with accurate, lethal fire at close quarters. [show more...]

Gas operated, and air-cooled, it has a collapsible stock and can be fitted with rubber bullets for crowd control. The M4A1, the version made for Special Operations Forces, has a full automatic mode. But the tradeoff for making a shorter, handier version of the M16 has been in penetration, velocity and accuracy over longer ranges.

Primary function: 5.56 mm rifle for close-quarters battle
Weight: 7.92 pounds (3.6 kilograms)
Maximum effective range: area target, 2,624.8 feet (800 meters); point target, 1,650 feet (500 meters)
Rate of fire: 45 rounds per minute, semiautomatic
Other features: Can be fitted with M203 grenade launcher
Used by: Marine Expeditionary Units and U.S. Army units


RPK-74 Machine Gun
RPK-74 Machine Gun
After the new AK-74 assault rifle entered service, the RPK-74 light machine gun was developed from the rifle. [show more...]

The RPK is essentially a variant of the AKM assault rifle with a longer, heavier barrel and is fed either by a 40-round curved box magazine or a 75-round drum magazine.

It can also use the AKM's 30-round box magazine. The RPKS-74 version with folding butt was intended for airborne paratroops. These machine guns differ from the AK-74 assault rifle in barrel length and weight, sight windage mechanism, butt shape, dimensions weight and the design of the recoil compensator.

Primary function: 7.62 mm squad machine gun
Weight: Up to 15 pounds (7 kg) depending on magazine
Rate of fire: 150 rounds per minute in automatic mode
Maximum effective range: 2,640 feet (800 meters)


M16A2 Assault rifle
M16A2 Assault rifle
The M16A2 is the standard issue for the US Army. With a heavier, firmer barrel than its predecessor, the M16A1, the A2 allows for the firing of NATO standard SS 109 type (M855) ammunition, also used with M249 Squad Automatic Weapons (SAWs). [show more...]

The rifle cartridge range is farther and more effective than ever before. The M16A2 can also fire all NATO standard 5.56mm ammunition and, equipped with the M203 Grenade Launcher, can fire 40mm missiles.

Lightweight, air-cooled, gas-operated, magazine-fed, the M16A2 can be fired from the shoulder or the hip. A selector level allows the soldier to shoot in modes of automatic fire, in 3-round bursts, or single-shot semiautomatic fire. A muzzle compensator improves the control and accuracy of the M16A2, and a fully adjustable rear sight has been enhanced for wind and range changes.

Factoid:The M16A2 has a modified upper receiver that changes the way cartridges are ejected. They used to hit left-handed shooters in the face.

Effective range:550 meters
Reload time: 4.9 seconds
Cyclic rate of fire: 800 rpm
Maximum range: 3,600 meters
Weight (loaded): 8.79 lbs
Length: 39.63 inches

.50 caliber machine gun
.50 caliber machine gun
At 550 rounds per minute, the .50 caliber can be placed on ground mounts and on most vehicles for use as an anti-personnel and anti-aircraft weapon. [show more...]
This automatic has a maximum range of 4.22 miles, and ammunition may be fed from the left or right side.

Factoid: The .50 caliber was used as a sniper weapon by US forces during the Vietnam War.

Length: 61.42 inches (156 centimeters)
Gun: 84 pounds (38 kilograms)
M3 Tripod (Complete): 44 pounds (19.98 kilograms)
Total: 128 pounds (58 kilograms)
Bore diameter: .50 inches (12.7mm)
Maximum effective range: 2000 meters with tripod mount
Maximum range: 4.22 miles (6.8 kilometers)


M67 Fragmentation grenade
M67 Fragmentation grenade
This is designed to be thrown about 40 meters and explode into fragments with a kill radius of 5 meters, and a casualty-producing radius of 15 meters. [show more...]
The M61 model has only 5.5 oz. of explosive, with a coil of serrated wire inside the body for fragmentation.

Weight: 14 oz.
Explosive: 6.5 oz., Composition B.


L115A1 Long Range Rifle
L115A1 Long Range Rifle
Selected units of the UK's military utilize the heavier L115A1 Long Range Rifle when enemies are located at seemingly impossible distances. With a heavy bullet that is less likely to be deflected over extremely long ranges, the L115A1 allows snipers to zero in on and kill the enemy from distances that equal nearly ten football fields laid end-to-end. [show more...]

Caliber: 8.59 mm
Weight: 6.8 kg
Length: 1300 mm
Muzzle velocity: 9.36 m/s
Effective range: 1100 m


Enemy
M16 Rifle
M16 Rifle
Introduced in 1959, the M16 is one of the world's most widely used assault rifles. The SAS has been using the M16 since 1963 in conflicts from the Falklands to the Persian Gulf. In Vietnam, American troops used M16s to suppress enemy activity around airfields and at close-quarter combat throughout the jungles. Praised by soldiers for its light weight and high rates of fire, improvements to the M16’s accuracy and lethality came in the form of two upgrades: the M16A1, and most recently, the M16A2. [show more...]

Weight: 3.6 kg
Length: 99 mm
Caliber: 5.56 mm
Rate of fire: Up to 950 rpm


FIM-92A Stinger Weapons System
Designed by the US Army for short-range air defense, this is an ideal weapon to bring down low-altitude airborne targets like planes, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, and even cruise missiles. It can be shoulder-fired or launched from a Bradley Fighting Vehicle or even a helicopter. The guidance system is "fire-and-forget," using an infrared seeker and navigation system to lock onto targets and eliminate them. First used in Grenada in 1983, this missile system was sold wholesale to mujahedeen fighting the Soviets, and it effectively tipped the balance of power in Afghanistan. [show more...]

Factoid: During the 1990s, one of the very few ways that US intelligence officers kept contact with local Afghan warlords was through a Stinger buyback program, where bounties were paid to bring unused Stingers off the market before they found their way into the hands of the Iranians or terrorist groups.

Length: 5 ft.
Weight: 12.5 lbs.
Range: 5 miles
Ceiling: 10,000 ft.
Speed: Mach 1+


RPG-7 Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher
RPG-7 Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher

A shoulder-fired, muzzle-loaded, grenade launcher, the RPG-7 fires a variety of grenades from a 40-mm launch tube. It's light enough to be fired by one person, but an assistant usually stands to the left of the gunner for protection.

The launcher first ejects the grenade out 10 meters, and then the grenade's internal motor ignites and speeds it toward the target with fins that cause it to rotate slowly. Crosswinds can cut accuracy down by 50% for the gunner's first shot, but the shaped charge in the grenade can punch through all known armored vehicles.

[show more...]

Factoid: In the Mogadishu ambush, it was an RPG the Somalis used to down the Blackhawk.

Primary function: Shoulder fired anti-tank weapon
Weight: 15.2 pounds (6.9 kilograms)
Effective range: 1,640 feet (500 meters)
Rate of fire: Four to six rounds per minute
Ammunition: 85 mm grenade
Other features: Can penetrate 260 mm armor
