I see. They had a few different M16s in Land of the Dead but I didn't notice the M16A2 with the A1 guards. Kinda weird. It could be that airsoft gun like I said, or they just swapped out the guards to pay homage to the other Romero movies where they had M16A1s or copies.

Also, does this means you're redoing the Land of the Dead page?

I actually have already finished redoing it.
Land of the Dead was the first page that I capped and later on I realize that it was kind of sloppy -so I redid it.

About the M16A2 with A1 handguards, I actually noticed it by accident when I was deleting all of the screencaps in my pics folder.

AT-4? Capped from Blessed by Fire, maybe an anachronism, last cap for the article.

Yes it's an AT4 and it is correct for the setting.

AT4 was invented in the 1960s and it was/is in use by the Argentine military.

Although the AT-4 existed in the time period, it is still an anachronism because the Argentine Army hadn't adopted it yet. It also appears that they never used any disposable rocket launchers during the Falklands War, only 90mm and 105mm recoiless rifles.

Thatīs right, iīll upload the cap to the page. And today, only the IMARA (equivalent to the marines) and some regiments use the AT-4, the rest of them use the olds Instalazas, the M-72 Law and the Mara.
