This is the original Live Fire Morita Carbine, used by Michael Ironside as L.T Jean Rasczak, and then later by Casper Van Dien as the heroic Johnny Rico. The fiberglass Morita Carbine was originally fitted with a functional live firing Mini-14, which has now been replaced with a static fiberglass Mini-14 casting. The Carbine is labelled as "HERO-1", and was the primary working firearm for the principle actors. The prop is accompanied by a notarised letter from the movie's weapons coordinator "Rock" Galotti, confirming the prop's authenticity and use within the movie by Casper Van Dien & Michael Ironside.
