Opening Credits Massacre
The scene at the beginning of the film in which protestors placing flowers in the muzzles of M&P soldier's rifles before being killed is a mix between two famous (or infamous) events during the time of the Vietnam war. The placing the flowers in the muzzles of rifles was done by hippy rioters in M14 Rifles carried by M&P soldiers, as seen in this famous photgraph:
The use of the M1 Garand and opening fire on the rioters was based on the Kent State Shooting in 1970, when Nation Guardsmen (not M&P) opened fire on protesting students. There's a little history lesson for you.

The Unknown Rifles
If anyone out there has the Blu Ray version of the movie, perhaps a high def screen shot could shed light on that mysterious rifle.
I have blu-ray, but no blu-ray capturing device. Also it's more a matter of not really seeing the full thing, ain't it?-protoAuthor
- It's an HK of some sort, though. I can tell that from the shot we have.-protoAuthor
Police with Glocks
Not really important, but they're not police, they're Veidt security guards. They even have a V on their hats.
