M16A1
Fake Colt XM177 Commando
Sean Penn as Sgt. Tony Meserve uses a fake XM177, built up from an SP1 Carbine. What makes it weird is the unusual flash hider/muzzle brake which is too long for an XM177, the wrong diameter and has holes on one side only (the left side).

M60 machine gun
Type 56 AK47
Used by the VietCong's.
Mk2/M67 hand grenade?
Used to blow up PFC Max Eriksson in the Barracks Toilets.
