Error creating thumbnail: File missing WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Rifles
M4A1 Carbine
The M4A1 is the primary rifle used by the sailors aboard the USS Nathan James. Members of the US Navy's Mountain Warfare Unit can be seen using M4A1 carbines fitted with EOTech red dot sights to defend themselves against Russian helicopters in the premiere episode "Phase Six" (S1E01). US Navy sailors including the CMDR Tom Chandler (Eric Dane) are armed with the M4A1 in "Welcome to Gitmo" (S1E02). The M4A1 also is the rifle carried by Tex (John Pyper-Ferguson) throughout Season 1, beginning with "Welcome to Gitmo" (S1E02).
HK416
Heckler & Koch HK416s are used by members of the Mountain Warfare Unit, namely LT Danny Green (Travis Van Winkle).
AKMSU
AKMSU rifles are seen in the hands of Russian operatives in the premiere episode "Phase Six" (S1E01). LT Danny Green (Travis Van Winkle) takes an AKMSU off one of El Toro's men in "El Toro" (S1E05).
AK-103
Russian soldiers aboard the Soviet ship carry AK-103 assault rifles, notably in "Dead Reckoning" (S1E03), "SOS" (S1E07), and "Two Sailors Walk Into a Bar" (S1E08).
SVD Dragunov Sniper Rifle
An SVD Dragunov is seen in the hands of a Russian operative in the premiere episode "Phase Six" (S1E01).
M16A4
Some of the escaped prisoners in Guantanamo Bay are armed with M16A4 rifles in "Welcome to Gitmo" (S1E02). In "We'll Get There" (S1E04), Sailors aboard the Nathan James use M16A4 rifles fitted with what appear to be Mk 87 Mod 1 line-throwing adapters to launch parachutes into the air in order to propel the ship forward using wind power after the engines fail. Although these line launchers are used by the US Navy and can be attached to an M16 (if the flash hider is removed), they are generally only used with the M14 due to the higher pressures generated by a 7.62x51mm blank round.
Handguns
Members of the Mountain Warfare Unit are armed with the SIG-Sauer P226 Navy in the series.
Beretta 92FS
The Beretta 92FS is seen throughout the series and is the sidearm carried by CMDR Tom Chandler (Eric Dane).

A Russian officer is armed with a Beretta Cougar in "Dead Reckoning" (S1E03). Adm. Ruskov (Ravil Isyanov) is later seen using the pistol.
Smith & Wesson Model 60
Quincy Tophet (Sam Spruell) pulls a Smith & Wesson Model 60 in "Dead Reckoning" (S1E03).
Shotguns
Mossberg 500
Several men at a checkpoint are seen firing Mossberg 500 shotguns in Season 1's finale "No Place Like Home" (S1E10).
Machine Guns
M240B Machine Gun
An M240 machine gun is seen being fired from the Nathan James in "Phase Six" (S1E01). M240's are also mounted on Navy RHIBs.
