The 1980 film The Dogs of War used a 26.5mm Manville Machine-Projector as the weapon of choice for Mercenary actor Christopher Walken. In the film, the weapon is called a "XM-18E1R" grenade-launcher, deemed capable of firing munitions far beyond the actual Manville gun. The film suggests that it fires fragmentation, grenade, tactical, anti-tank, anti-personnel and "flashette" shells. The actual "shells" used during the film were 12-gauge blanks. When fired the weapon makes a noise with the rotating drum and unwinding of the spring which makes it sound more menacing |
