In some scenes during the film, CW Wally Hamer ([[Matthew R.

CIA Agent Benjamin Keynes ([[Jonas Ball]]) and the rest of special forces team, expect for MSG Tanner ([[Kenny Taylor]]), can be seen using [[M4A1 Carbine]]s as their main weapons. Due to a continuity error, they often switch between genuine M4s and "Franken-M4s" which are actually M4 upper receiver units slapped onto [[Colt AR-15 Sporter Carbine|Colt AR-15 Sporter II Carbine]] lower receiver units.

M4 Upper/AR-15 Sporter II Lower

As mentioned previously, many of the special forces team use rifles which are actually M4 upper receivers upon Colt AR-15 Sporter II Carbine lower receiver units. It appears that the armorers didn't have enough genuine M4s (or at least M4s fitted to mil-spec lower receiver units) in inventory, and were thus forced to fit some M4 uppers to an incorrect lower receiver type.

This indicates that the actor used two different weapons with the same accessories, but different lower receiver types.
