Harvey Ashford (Doug E. Doug) snickers while holding his rifle. He was previously holding a Colt Model 715, but it switched to a different rifle in this scene. It's possibly a Colt AR-15A2 Sporter II since it has the same upper receiver as an M16A1, but has a flat "slab side" lower receiver. This gun also has triangular handguards, A1 style pistol grip, and possibly an A1 buttstock.
