Colt 9mm SMG

Many of the humans involved in the battle against the Psychlos can be seen armed with Colt 9mm SMG's, seemingly having the front sight and muzzle brake removed. Some of them also have lengthened barrels to accomodate the mounting of M203 grenade launchers, as described below.

M203 Grenade Launcher

Some of the humans battling the Psychlos can be seen using M16A1 rifles and Colt 9mm SMG's fitted with M203 grenade launchers during the final battle. The mounting of the M203 on the Colt SMG is rather odd combination, very rarely seen in films.

Carl Gustav Recoilless Rifle

During the battle against the Psychlos, Carlos (Kim Coates) destroys a Psychlo flying machine using a Carl Gustav recoilless rifle, the weapon incorrectly shown being used as a surface to air homing missile. Carlos later uses one to shatter the massive dome over the city, resulting in the deaths of the Psychlos who are unable to breathe in Earth's atmosphere.
