The following guns were used in the film Forrest Gump:
One of the first guns seen in the film is the M1 Garand, seen carried by National Guard soldiers protecting black students during the integration of the University of Alabama. National Guardsmen are also seen with M1s slung when guarding the rioters protesting the war in Vietnam.

Both rifles feature three-prong flash-hiders, so it is difficult to tell them apart from the left side of the rifle.
