Land of Bad

Land of Bad is a 2024 action thriller starring Liam Hemsworth as Sergeant JJ Kinney, a USAF Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC), callsign "Playboy", on his first-ever field mission, where he's assigned to assist a US Army Delta Force unit on assignment to a Philippine island in the Sulu Sea. There, the mission quickly goes awry, and Kinney and his surviving squamates find themselves trapped in hostile territory crawling with vicious Abu Sayyaf militants. Russell Crowe co-stars as Captain Eddie "Reaper" Grimm, a veteran USAF drone pilot tasked with providing air support for the team. The film was directed by William Eubank and the cast includes Liam's real-life brother Luke Hemsworth in addition to Chika Ikogwe, Milo Ventimiglia, Ricky Whittle, and Daniel MacPherson.
__TOC__
=Handguns=
==Beretta 92FS==
Standing in for the M9 pistol used by U.S. military, "Playboy" (Liam Hemsworth) carries a Beretta 92FS. Since he is a member of Air Force Special Operations Command but not a part of its Tier 1 squadron, he would draw his weapons from standard USAF supply chains and carry an M9 until replaced by the SIG-Sauer M17. Being a part of a non-Tier 1 unit, it is not unusual he does not carry extra pistol magazines on his plate carrier. 
==Glock 17==
Master Sergeant John "Sugar" Sweet (Milo Ventimiglia) carries a third-generation Glock 17, and Sgt. Bishop (Ricky Whittle) carries a fourth-generation model. While the Glock 17 isn't officially used by the US military, Tier 1 units have a wide leeway on acquiring firearms from outside the standard supply chain and the Glock 17 is a popular choice for Tier 1 operators. 
==Phantom==
Sgt. Abell (Luke Hemsworth), Liam and Chris's older brother) carries a Phantom, a blank-firing pistol similar to the Glock 17. He fires three rounds from his sidearm before it locks back. Since it is highly unlikely a Tier 1 operator only loaded three rounds, it is assumed either the director wanted to simulate an unlikely Glock failure or a continuity error occurred and a scene was cut where more rounds were fired.
==M1911A1==
An M1911A1 is carried by Saeed Hashimi (Robert Rabiah).
==Beretta Px4 Storm==
Hashimi is seen reaching for a Beretta Px4 Storm tucked into his back waistband. The front half of the pistol isn't seen but it can still be ID'ed by the Px4's grip.
==Taurus PT92==
An Abu Sayyaf fighter is seen using a Taurus PT92.
=Pistol-Caliber Carbines=
==Ruger PC Charger==
What appears to be a Ruger PC Charger with a folding stock is seen used by Victor Petrov's mercenaries.
=Rifles=
==M4A1 Carbine==
The M4A1 is used by SGT JJ "Playboy" Kinney (Liam Hemsworth), with an EOTech XPS, Magpul MOE stock, and a PEQ-15. Since it is stated early on in the movie he is not a Tier 1 asset, he would draw his rifle from standard AFSOC supply chains and would likely carry as a base rifle an M4A1 in its SOPMOD Block I or Block II configuration with the base Block I shown here. Some non-permanent upgrades such as the MOE stock and mixing of Block I and II items are common.
==Heckler & Koch HK416D10==
Sgt. Bishop (Ricky Whittle) uses a Heckler & Koch HK416D10RS equipped with an Aimpoint T1 on the original Aimpoint riser, Aimpoint PEQ-15, and a SOPMOD stock. It has also been spray-painted a jungle camouflage.
==Wedgetail Industries WT-15==
MSG Sugar (Milo Ventimiglia) uses a Wedgetail Industries WT-15, an Australian license-made version of the AR-15 with a short BCM M-LOK handguard and 11.5" inch barrel, an A2 muzzle device, as well as an Aimpoint T1 on a UTG super slim riser, an Olight weaponlight on the right-side M-LOK rail, pressure switch on the top, Steiner DBAL-A3, and a Magpul ACS stock. It is also loaded with a black Magpul PMAG, and has received the same paint job.
==Midwest Industries AR-15==
Sgt. Abell is seen using a Midwest Industries built AR-15, likely customized to resemble the URG-I rifles used by SOCOM. The AR-15 is equipped with Slim Line One Piece Free Float M-LOK handguard with 16" inch barrel and is equipped with a SOPMOD stock, Magpul vertical foregrip, ELCAN SpectreDR scope and the same switch/light/laser set up used by Sugar. Both the scope and stock are actually used by SOCOM on their URG-Is, further implying that that's what this is meant to be. It too features the same paint job.
==Type 56 SKS==
A number of Abu Sayyaf fighters use the Type 56 Carbine, a Chinese-made version of the SKS. Some are seen with shortened barrels. A Type 56 SKS in a custom stock, with a shortened barrel, is scrounged and used by Kinney (Liam Hemsworth). He's also seen with it on the theatrical poster (and the Netflix preview image).
==Type 56==
Abu Sayyaf fighters are also frequently seen with Type 56 assault rifles.
==Norinco Hunter (converted)==
This distinct AK rifle is a heavily modified Norinco Hunter sporting rifle. Its factory civilian-style furniture is replaced with a typical AK fixed stock and pistol grip adapted to the Hunter's distinct rear receiver trunnion. The handguard is replaced with AKM-style palm swell handguards. 
==M16A1==
A number of Abu Sayyaf fighters are seen with M16A1 rifles.
=Sniper Rifles=
==Barrett MRAD==
Bishop uses the SMR version of the Barrett MRAD. Like all the other long guns used by the operators, it has a jungle spray-paint camo. It uses a suppressed gunshot sound effect when fired, despite not being fitted with a suppressor.
=Launchers=
==RPG-7==
Abu Sayyaf fighters use the RPG-7 at a few points in the movie. They all appear to be the same prop, missing its sights. Because all rocket launchers in movies are entirely special effects (there's no such thing as a rocket-propelled blank), it's entirely possible this is a toy/airsoft gun, which would explain the missing sights.

=Machine Guns=
==Browning M2HB ==
The Browning M2HB is seen mounted on a technical. The firing sound seems to be a random sound picked for its "punchiness" as it doesn't sound remotely like an actual M2HB.
==M240B==
The Huey door gunner is seen using the M240B during Playboy's attempted extraction.
==M61 Vulcan==
A US Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet with the incredibly creative callsign "Hornet One" is seen firing a strafe, danger-close, from its two M61 Vulcans, mounted on either shoulder. Different shots occasionally show a regular Hornet (a similar error occurs in the exact same scene with a Huey and Blackhawk). In reality, all Hornets (as well as all US fighters since the F-8 Crusader) feature a single cannon or no cannons at all based on the variant.
=Grenades=
==RGD-5 Hand Grenade==
Some Abu Sayyaf fighters use the RGD-5 hand grenade.
