Our expert's notes

A prop M16 rifle from Stanley Kubrick’s Oscar®-nominated Vietnam War film Full Metal Jacket. M16s were carried by the U.S. Marines during Pvt. Joker’s (Matthew Modine) deployment to Vietnam as a Stars and Stripes war correspondent.

The use of replica Model Gun Company (MGC) cap guns as background weapons during production is well documented, with the rifles easily identified on-screen by the solid-cast forward assist on the right-hand side of the receiver.

The weapon is made of metal with black ABS plastic grips, a plastic buttstock, a green canvas sling and an original Colt 20-round magazine. Designed to operate like a real M16, it has a working charging handle, safety and trigger. Metal components have a blued steel finish. Some corrosion and wear is present from use and time spent in storage. Dimensions: 98 cm x 7 cm x 24 cm (38 ¾” x 2 ¾” x 9 ¾”)
