Uncommon Valor is a 1983 film starring Gene Hackman and Patrick Swayze which involves a group of Vietnam veterans determined to retrieve POW's left behind during the war.

Uzi Submachine gun
An Arms dealer's bodyguard is seen holding a standard Uzi 9mm submachine gun as he talks to the Americans.
CAR-15
Used by the men during their training exercises.
MGC CAR-15
In the opening Vietnam sequence, LRRP (Long Range Reconaissance Patrol) members are seen running back to the helicopters, some (including Frank Rhodes) are carrying the MGC CAR-15 replica rifle. They are never seen firing. The CAR-15s by MGC were always sold with the replica 30 round magazines. Some of the CAR-15s in the film took 20 round magazines off of the MGC M16 replica rifles and used those. Others retained the stock 30 round magazine.
M16A1
Several LRRP members are seen running with M16A1's during the opening Vietnam sequence.
Norinco Type-56
