The following weapons were used in the television series Over There:
M4A1 Carbine
One of the most commonly seen weapons in the show, the M4A1 carbine is used by practically all the American characters in the show seen in Iraq, with a few exceptions. All versions have the RIS foregrip, with the exception of Pvt. Frank 'Dim' Dumphy (Luke MacFarlane) who has an M203 grenade launcher mounted on his. The character Pvt. Avery 'Angel' King (Keith Robinson) has an ACOG scope mounted atop the carry handle of his M4 due to his role as the team's sharpshooter. Most of the M4's are also fitted with AN/PEQ-2 laser systems. One can also be seen in the hands of a distraught Iraqi civilian whose son has been mortally wounded by an insurgent bomber, and another M4A1 can be seen being used by Colonel Ryan (Michael Cudlitz), a Special Forces officer who has a custom camouflage paint scheme and suppressor on his M4A1.
M16A2 rifle
This weapon doesn't get near as much screen time in the show as its' 'little brother', the M4A1 carbine, shown being used by PV2 Brenda 'Mrs. B' Mitchell (Nicki Lynn Aycox) and PFC Esmaralda 'Doublewide' Del Rio (Lizette Carrión), due to their roles as members of a logistics unit instead of a front-line combat unit like their comrades. The ladies carry the standard-issue M16A2 with no frills.
M249 Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW)
The M249 SAW is carried by the team's automatic rifleman, Pvt. Maurice 'Smoke' Williams (Kirk 'Sticky Fingaz' Jones) and several other soldiers. Smoke originally carries the standard M249, but somehow switches to the compact 'paratrooper' version featuring a telescoping stock and shorter barrel.
AK-47
As befitting the stereotypical 'bad guy' weapon, the AK-47 is seen in the hands of Iraqi insurgents that the characters end up facing in practically every episode, though are also seen in the hands of Iraqi soldiers working with the team on rare occasions.
RPG-7
Like the AK-47, the RPG-7 rocket launcher is used by Iraqi insurgents, most notably in the final episode of the series when a convoy the main characters are in is ambushed.
Beretta 92FS
One of the most rarely seen U.S. weapons in the series, the Beretta 92FS (standing in for the military-issue M9) was most notably used by a distraught Cpl. Shaver (Currie Graham) to commit suicide after he fails to save the life of an Iraqi boy injured by an insurgent bomber.
M203 grenade launcher
The M203 grenade launcher was seen being wielded by Pvt. Frank 'Dim' Dumphy (Luke MacFarlane) mounted on his M4A1 carbine, though rarely was used in the series.
M2 Browning Heavy Machine Gun
The M2 Browning heavy machine gun also makes appearances in the series, usually mounted on U.S. vehicles such as Humvees. The most notable use of this weapon in the series was when 1LT Alexander 'Underpants' Hunter (Josh Stamberg) uses one to shoot an Iraqi boy trying to flag down a convoy in the final episode.
DShK Heavy Machine Gun
In the opening episode, an Iraqi insurgent can be seen firing a DShK heavy machine gun during the sandstorm firefight.
Kimber Custom TLE II
In the episode "Prisoner", Colonel Ryan, while pinning an Iraqi insurgent to the ground, can be seen holding a Kimber Custom TLE II fitted with a Surefire 310R weaponlight to the side of his prisoners' head.
RPK Light Machine Gun
In the third episode, one of the insurgents can be seen engaging U.S. forces from the roof of a building using an RPK light machine gun, but is inevitably taken out.
