M16A2
Marines at the funeral use real M16A2 rifles. It is a goof that they rack the bolts to fire them as funeral guns are usually real guns fitted with a blank firing adapter on the muzzle to allow enough gas pressure to cycle the bolt(as real guns have heavier bolt springs than blank guns. Blank guns need lighter springs to allow the gas pressure to cycle low pressure blank rounds.)
M16A1 w/ M16A2 handguards.
The Marines can be seen armed with M16A1 rifles fitted with M16A2 forend handguards. They are easily noticed as A1 models by the lack of a shell deflector and the lack of a forward assist.

Colt 1911 Series 70
The main villain of the film, General Frank Hummel (Ed Harris) carries an Colt 1911 Series 70 as his sidearm of choice throughout the film. It is seen being pulled out by Hummel, who then shoots Sergeant Crisp during the confrontation.
