A Holnist pursuing The Postman and Abby during their escape from Benning is armed with a [[Colt AR-15 Sporter II]] also mocked up as an XM177E2. The Postman later holds this carbine when encountering "Ponytail" (played by Costner's daughter Anne) in the woods.

	One of the many Holnist soldiers appears to be carrying an [[AK-47\|AK-47 ~~Variant~~]]~~. Unable to determine the exact model. Despite my best efforts the only shot I could find of it remained blurry. However~~ it's ~~likely that it's an [[AKM]] considering that the movie was filmed within the continental United States in 1997 and the AKM often served as a double for the AK-47 during the eighties and nineties~~.		One of the many Holnist soldiers appears to be carrying an [[AK-47\|AK-47 variant]], but it's too blurry to definitively identify.
