Assault Rifles

Norinco Type 56

Multiple Norinco Type 56 AK rifles were seen being used by the terrorists at the beginning of the film to kill the American soldiers transporting the Carnosaurs. All of the Type 56s in the movie appear to be semi-automatic civilian versions (as evidenced by the bolts moving in a semi-automatic tempo); however, the sound editor dubbed in the sound of automatic gunfire on the soundtrack whenever the weapons are fired.

Norinco MAK-90

At least one of the terrorists in the movie used an Norinco MAK-90 rifle, the "post-ban" semi-automatic civilian version of the Chinese Norinco Type 56. It is recognizable by the thumbhole stock.

AR-15 A2

Most of the U.S. Army personnel, including the Special Forces unit led by Colonel Rance Higgins (Scott Valentine) use AR-15 A2-style assault rifles. Rance's team has tactical flashlights fitted to the barrels of their AR-15s. Due to sound F/X editing, the AR-15s are made to sound like fully automatic M16A2s, the U.S. service rifle, but the prop weapons used in the film are all semi-automatic civilian versions (whenever they're fired, the bolts only move in a semi-auto tempo). Some of the AR-15s actually feature M16A1-profile "pencil" barrels (notably: the rifles used by Rance's team that are equipped with weapon lights), while others feature heavy-contour barrels - these weapons may not be Colt guns.

MGC M16 Replica

In all scenes where the AR-15s are not being fired, they are replaced by MGC M16 replica assault rifles fitted with M16A2 hand guards (some have the M16A1 flash hiders, while others still have the three-prong flash hider that came standard on the MGC rifles).
