==Colt 1902 Military Pistol==
LTC Preston Packard ([[Samuel L. Jackson]]) carries what appears to be two [[Colt Model 1902 Pistol|Colt M1902]] military pistols in a dual shoulder holster rig. He is seen pulling one on Bill Randa ([[John Goodman]]). The use of this pistol is an odd choice, since it was never adopted by the US military, and would be at least 45 years old by 1973, the time period for this film (although some [[M1911A1]]s, produced as early as 1924, and other designs such as the [[M1917 Revolver]] still in use were slightly older.) It is noteworthy, however, that officers often still carried their own 'unofficial' sidearms, even in the 70s.

San ([[Jing Tian]]) as well as Captain James Conrad ([[Tom Hiddleston]]) sometimes are seen armed with [[M16/SP1]]s. Conrad's rifle appears to change to this model instead of the M16A1 in various scenes. By 1973, the [[M16A1]] would've pretty much completely replaced this model of M16.

==AKM==
Captain Cole ([[Shea Whigham]]) is seen carrying a [[AK-47]]-type rifle. He explains to Bill Randa ([[John Goodman]]) that he carries this instead of an [[M16]] after he took it off a 50-year-old farmer who fought for the NVA who had surrendered after his village was destroyed. This rifle is likely an [[AKM]]. It can be distinguished by the stamped divot by the fire selector and the ribs on top of the receiver cover.

During the sudden attack on the boat, as Conrad ([[Tom Hiddleston]]) reaches for his M16, a [[Remington 870]] can briefly be seen in the background, possibly used as a stand-in for the [[Ithaca 37]]. One of the films' armorers confirmed the use of these shotguns while filming took place. ([[John C. Reilly]]) also appears to be holding the shotgun in behind the scenes footage included on the blu-ray release.
