	There were 15 real M4's, 20 Airsoft (Not classic army though, G&G )and around 40 rubber moulded M4's used on the show. The Real M4's were not Colt models as non were available in South Africa, they were made in Vietnam! Airsofts and rubbers were used a lot throughout for almost all of the weapons if not close to camera or if damage was likely.

	It is possibly likely that the real M4A1’s were just built up from real uppers with UTG quad handguards and other parts such as the A1 teardrop forward assist, then fitted on a different kind of AR lower reciever to replicate M4’s used by the Recon Marines in 2003. The same thing can be seen in [[Strike Back]] when Porter uses a similar M4 due to filming in South Africa.

	While rewatching the series I noticed in the Episode 4: Combat Jack at around the 6 minute mark, that a Marine was carrying a carbine with a M16A1 upper receiver. [edit] On closer look, it appears to be a MCG CAR-15, as it has the distinctive Bolt-Style Forward assist. I can not take shot as I do not own the series on physical media.

	I'm no expert here, but I'm fairly certain that the point of an infrared laser (or indeed any laser at all) is to have a point of aim without using your sights since wearing a head-mounted nod device would make aiming through your sights kind of difficult due to how far it sticks out from your head.
