Colt M4A1

ATF agents are using either M4A1 Carbines or MP5A3 submachine guns in the film. At least one ATF Agent is seen with an M4A1 fitted with an Aimpoint sight. The ATF Sniper's (Marc Blucas) M4A1 is fitted with an unknown telescopic sight. Mordechai (James Parks) also uses an M4A1 when he and his wife, Esther (Jennifer Schwalbach Smith - who is the director Kevin Smith's wife) go to the roof to hold back the ATF agents storming the church.

Classic Army M15A4 Airsoft Carbine

When Travis (Michael Angarano) escapes from the basement, he hides in the armory and takes out a Classic Army M15A4 airsoft rifle (which is a replica of the M4A1 Carbine). It is recognizable by the white "ArmaLite" logo and the white-painted fire position markings on the lower receiver (which no real AR-15 manufacturer uses).

This good close-up shows the ArmaLite logo, giving away that the gun is just an airsoft rifle. He wouldn't do much damage with the selector on safe also. (It should be noted that not all airsoft manufacturers use white fire position markers on their rifles; the more expensive airsoft M4s have the correct, real-life selectors.)

Norinco Type 56

Norinco Type 56 rifles are used by the Believers prominently, including Sara (Melissa Leo), Esther (Jennifer Schwalbach Smith), and Mordechai (James Parks). Billy-Ray (Nicholas Braun) picks up and fires a Type 56 when he escapes from the basement and confronts Caleb.

Note: Most Type 56's and Type 56-1's which were imported into the U.S. during the 1980s came standard with a AKM style slant compensator, which made them resemble AKMs.

AK-47

When Mordechai and his wife grab more weaponry from the armory, Esther (Jennifer Schwalbach Smith) is seen picking up a (possibly non-firing) AK-47. Her AK changes into a Type 56 when she actually fires it on the roof. An AK-47 is also seen on the cover/poster of the film.
