	MAJ Archie Gates ([[George Clooney]]), the former Delta Force Operator and now soon-to-be-retired Green Beret, is seen armed with an [[~~M16 rifle series#Colt Carbine/Model 653/Model 727/Model 733\|~~Colt Model 727 ~~carbine~~]] in the film and in promotional pictures. This is accurate for a Special Forces soldier during the time period of the film to carry, because the [[M4 carbine]] had not yet been adopted. It should be noted, however, that in real life, SFOD-D operators actually used the Colt Model 723 (which is nearly identical to the 727, but featured an A1 rear sight) up until the issuance of the M4 Carbine in the mid-1990s.
