An [[M4A1 Carbine]], fitted with an Elcan optical sight, is first seen in the hands of a 'Fish' gunman when Theo Faron ([[Clive Owen]]) is kidnapped by the resistance group. Later, during the action sequence at the Bexhill refugee camp, a female 'Fish' is also seen with an M4. While it would be more likely in reality for the gun to be a Diemaco C8A1 Carbine, Colt Canada did not sell to civilian companies (including film armorers) at the time this film was made, so it would be impossible to use one in the film. Another M4A1 carbine, equipped with an M203 grenade launcher, tactical light, and an AN/PEQ-2 IR designator, is used by Luke ([[Chiwetel Ejiofor]]) when his forces arrive at the Bexhill refugee camp. | |||
