Some troops carry an XM177E2 thought most of them appear to be the later version plastic MGC Colt Commando (replica copy of the XM177-E2) that was sold just prior to the rise in popularity of Airsoft versions.
A European (mostly likely British) mercenary is seen shooting an British L1A1 SLR (Self Loading Rifle) at the beginning of the film (note the foresight ears and the barrel on the rifle). An African Soldier is also seen using one.
One of the three civilians that try to escape from Cider Creek fires with a Remington 7600 at a U.S. Army helicopter, thanks go to Gunmaster45 for the identification.
