The weapons used in this movie are:
M14
The M14 rifle features prominently in the U.S. Marine training scenes of Full Metal Jacket. Once the Marines arrive in Vietnam they are issued M16s. It is with an M14 rifle locked and loaded with 7.62mm NATO that Pvt. Pyle kills both Gny. Sgt. Hartman (R. Lee Ermey) and himself.
.
M16
The M16 rifle appears in the film as the standard-issue weapon of most of the Marines in Vietnam. Several of them can be seen with two magazines taped together "jungle style", as this is where this practice originated prior to the introduction of higher-capacity 30-round magazines for the M16.
M60
The Doorgunner (Tim Colceri) on the helicopter that takes Joker (Matthew Modine) and Rafterman (Kevyn Major Howard) to join Pvt. Cowboy's (Arliss Howard) 1st Platoon repeatedly fires an M60 machine gun at random Vietnamese they pass. The M60 is also the weapon Animal Mother (Adam Baldwin) carries throughout Full Metal Jacket. Pvt. Joker can also be seen firing an M60 when their base is attacked at the start of the Tet Offensive.
