			:Agreed, it is a Micro size rather than a Mini. It is quite odd though, normally the way it works is that the full auto Micro has the compensated barrel and hooked trigger guard, whilst the semi automatic Uzi Pistol has a rounded or hooked trigger guard and the shorter plain barrel (I think that Pistols had the hooked trigger guard if they were made after the Micro was introduced). This thing has the rounded trigger guard and the compensated barrel though which is a rather odd combination that I'm not sure ever existed on real guns . I think this might suggest that it is airsoft, and along with this the shape of the muzzle flash looks wrong for a compensated barrel meaning it is probably CG. --[[User:Commando552\|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552\|talk]]) 12:59, 23 January 2015 (EST)

	The 727 has A2 sights, A1E1 upper and M4 profile barrel is a Model 723. So is the one with the M203 attached. There are no M4s or LE Carbines shown here, they're all 723s.

	: Hmm, so the difference between the two is the upper receiver and not the barrel? That's interesting - I had thought the barrel was the main difference (Given our weapon images) - 723 was smooth and 727 stepped. I had figured the uppers weren't a main distinction (as they get changed easily and I've seen 'em come many ways on otherwise set spec ARs); The listings I had seen seem to have pointed that way. But thinking about it, I don't recall any 727 listing showing a carbine without having A2 sights so I suppose that makes sense.

			::I should have known better when I said 727 above as I 100% know the difference. I was on the train after a long day when I posted that comment so apparently didn't think about it hard enough before hitting confirm. The safest way to tell the difference between the two is the receiver style rather than the barrel with the 723 always having the A1E1 and the 727 always having the A2. The 723 does always have an M4 profile barrel, but the barrel of the 723 gets a bit fuzzy. The vast majority of the pictures I have ever seen of them have had the A1 "pencil" barrel (which is why I just listed them as A1 type in the [[Colt AR-15 Identification Guide]]). However, some stuff I have read says that the very late models of the 723 had an M4 profile barrel (from 1987 onward I believe, and the M203 cut on the barrel was from an XM4 prototype called the Model 720 rather than the 727 "Dubai Carbine" as is often reported) which I suppose is what these could be. The thing is though, these 723s with the M203 barrel seem to be REALLY rare so it is odd to me that they would turn up in a film in such prolific numbers, but this does seem to be the only thing that fits the criteria (or it is some custom build, or obscure variant made by another company). Here is a pic of one with the M203 step regardless:[[File:Colt Model 723 with M4 barrel.jpg\|thumb\|400px\|none\|Colt Model 723, late model with "M4" profile barrel - 5.56x45mm]]--[[User:Commando552\|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552\|talk]]) 11:27, 23 January 2015 (EST)

	The 727 has A2 sights, A1E1 upper and M4 profile barrel is a Model 723. So is the one with the M203 attached. There are no M4s or LE Carbines shown here, they're all 723s. The "sniper rifle" with the SIR handguard and red dot sight I'm inclined to say is an airsoft replica because it matches [http://images.ontheedgebrands.com/get/w/400/h/400/A21-DYMR733.image?notfound=notavailable this] almost exactly, right down to the barrel step for attaching an M203 even though the barrel would be too short for it.

	: Hmm, so the difference between the two is the upper receiver and not the barrel? That's interesting - I had thought the barrel was the main difference (Given our weapon images) - 723 was smooth and 727 stepped. I had figured the uppers weren't a main distinction (as they get changed easily and I've seen 'em come many ways on otherwise set spec ARs); The listings I had seen seem to have pointed that way. But thinking about it, I don't recall any 727 listing showing a carbine without having A2 sights so I suppose that makes sense. I take it both were available with the stepped barrels and the receiver is indeed the only main distinction?

			::I should have known better when I said 727 above as I 100% know the difference. I was on the train after a long day when I posted that comment so apparently didn't think about it hard enough before hitting confirm. The safest way to tell the difference between the two is the receiver style rather than the barrel with the 723 always having the A1E1 and the 727 always having the A2. The 723 does always have an M4 profile barrel, but the barrel of the 723 gets a bit fuzzy. The vast majority of the pictures I have ever seen of them have had the A1 "pencil" barrel (which is why I just listed them as A1 type in the [[Colt AR-15 Identification Guide]]). However, some stuff I have read says that the very late models of the 723 had an M4 profile barrel (from 1987 onward I believe, and the M203 cut on the barrel was from an XM4 prototype called the Model 720 rather than the 727 "Dubai Carbine" as is often reported) which I suppose is what these could be. The thing is though, these 723s with the M203 barrel seem to be REALLY rare so it is odd to me that they would turn up in a film in such prolific numbers, but this does seem to be the only thing that fits the criteria (or it is some custom build, or obscure variant made by another company). Here is a pic of one with the M203 step regardless:[[File:Colt Model 723 with M4 barrel.jpg\|thumb\|400px\|none\|Colt Model 723, late model with "M4" profile barrel - 5.56x45mm]]--[[User:Commando552\|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552\|talk]]) 11:27, 23 January 2015 (EST)

	: The first ones are likely [[Colt Model 727]]s - they have the M4-style stepped barrels but appear to have A1E1 upper receivers (Fixed carry handle with A1 sights with forward assist and shell deflector). Second set of caps show CARs that actually seem to have the same stepped barrels as the first set, just harder to tell (They're easier to make out if you blow the images up). If they were fixed barrel, they'd be [[Colt Model 723\|M723s]], of the same series. The last ~~shot with the full-size AR~~ looks like an [[M16A1]] fitted with the A2 handguards - It ~~looks like it has~~ the thinner barrel of an A1 which is why I say that (I would have said an SP1, but it seems like it has a full mag fence, what I can tell, anyway). If we could get a better shot of the receiver we could be certain. Also, the variant with the M203 on the main page is actually a carbine and not a fullsize, probably another M727.
