One of Ira Gaines' men carrying an M16A2 Rifle.

This is not an M16A2; it lacks the A2-style rear sight and brass deflector. It's actually an M16A1 with M16A2 hand guards.

Jack Bauer watches the chopper carrying Victor Drazen descends, holding an M4A1 Carbine.

These aren't M4A1s; they're some type of M16A2 carbine variant (probably the Model 725) with chopped barrels and fake XM177-style flash suppressors installed. On IMFDB, we tend to call those "XM177 mock-ups"; they've been seen in several other movies and TV shows (such as The Rock and Seven Days, among others). -MT2008 17:13, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Oh okay, I'll change the labels for them on the page. Thanks heaps for the assistance. It's muchly appreciated. -- BillBuchanan24 01:24, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

The MP5s

Bill,

This is an MP5A3 with an Aimpoint sight and a tri-rail RAS forearm. Interestingly, it has an M16-style pistol grip fitted to the under-barrel rail. I can't tell for sure, but in the first picture, it looks to me as though it's got a 15-round magazine (which almost nobody uses anymore in real life). -MT2008 14:19, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Mossberg

Jack hears the bolts lock shut, securing Wald in his safe-room, Mossberg 590 Cruiser in hand.

This is not a 590 Cruiser. It's a 500 Mariner with a pistol grip. I own one that looks just like it (you can see a picture of my Mossberg on my profile, though I didn't have the pistol grip on it at the time I took the photo). -MT2008 23:12, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
