M4A1 Carbine

One of the most commonly seen weapons in the show, the M4A1 carbine is used by practically all the American characters in the show seen in Iraq, with a few exceptions. All versions have the RIS foregrip, with the exception of Pvt. Frank 'Dim' Dumphy (Luke MacFarlane) who has an M203 grenade launcher mounted on his. The character Pvt. Avery 'Angel' King (Keith Robinson) has an ACOG scope mounted atop the carry handle of his M4 due to his role as the team's sharpshooter. Most of the M4's are also fitted with AN/PEQ-2 laser systems. One can also be seen in the hands of a distraught Iraqi civilian whose son has been mortally wounded by an insurgent bomber, and another M4A1 can be seen being used by Colonel Ryan (Michael Cudlitz), a Special Forces officer who has a custom camouflage paint scheme and suppressor on his M4A1.

M16A2 rifle

This weapon doesn't get near as much screen time in the show as its' 'little brother', the M4A1 carbine, shown being used by PV2 Brenda 'Mrs. B' Mitchell (Nicki Lynn Aycox) and PFC Esmaralda 'Doublewide' Del Rio (Lizette Carrión), due to their roles as members of a logistics unit instead of a front-line combat unit like their comrades. The ladies carry the standard-issue M16A2 with no frills.

M249 Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW)

The M249 SAW is carried by the team's automatic rifleman, Pvt. Maurice 'Smoke' Williams (Kirk 'Sticky Fingaz' Jones) and several other soldiers. Smoke originally carries the standard M249, but somehow switches to the compact 'paratrooper' version featuring a telescoping stock and shorter barrel.

AK-47

As befitting the stereotypical 'bad guy' weapon, the AK-47 is seen in the hands of Iraqi insurgents that the characters end up facing in practically every episode, though are also seen in the hands of Iraqi soldiers working with the team on rare occasions.

Beretta M92FS

The M2 Browning heavy machine gun also makes appearances in the series, usually mounted atop U.S. vehicles such as Humvees. The most notable use of this weapon in the series was when Lt. Alexander 'Underpants' Hunter (Josh Stamberg) uses one to shoot an Iraqi boy trying to flag down a convoy in the final episode.
