The sights and attachments often change too. In particular, for most of the movie, James doesen't have a light on his gun, but one sporadically appers, and he uses it while recuing Eldridge. Also, in one scene, Sanborns ACOG, is briefly replace by a red dot sight, before switching back.

Barrett M107

A Barrett M107 (not a M82 as noted by the full-length accessory rail) is used by the private contractors to respond to an insurgent ambush, and is later used by Sergeants James and Sanborn to shoot several of the attackers.
