The standard infantry weapons in the Irish Army are a customised Steyr AUG assault rifle, FN general-purpose and heavy machine guns, 60mm and 81 mm mortars, STRAAWs (anti-armour weapons), Carl Gustav recoilless rifles (anti-armour/fortification rifles), Javelin anti-tank missiles, M203 grenade launchers, and an Accuracy International sniper rifle. Artillery includes 105mm howitzers, 25-pounder field guns, and Bofors surface-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft guns. Standard ground vehicles are Mowag APCs, AML20 and AML90 armoured vehicles, Scoprion armoured recon vehicles, DROPS (basically like very large 8-wheel armoured trucks), and hundreds of general service vehicles (which are like standard 4X4 jeeps but adapted for military usage) and troop transporters. (Troops are also transported by Agusta Westland AW139 helicopters). They also use special-purpose vehicles such as Aardvark mine clearing vehicles and Dok-ing remotely-operated mine clearers

(If your "movie" is going to feature the Irish Army and the British SAS engaging each other, you should know that the last time Irish and British soldiers actually shot at each other was during the Irish War of Independence over 90 years ago.

Nowadays, despite the existence of Northern Ireland, both countries are on very friendly terms. In fact, special forces from the UK carry out joint-training missions with their counter-parts in Ireland. On a more general level, military personnel from both countries carry out numerous joint-operations ranging from drug enforcement in the Atlantic to surveillance of dissident groups active in the Ireland-Northern Ireland border area. There are even agreements that cater for a hypothetical attack on the island of Ireland by a third-party that would see the Irish Army and the British Army based in Northern Ireland fighting as one force.)
