Unlike other officer and soldiers, 1st Lieutenant John McKay (Dan Gauthier) carries a blued Colt MK IV Series 80 with pearl grips that he keeps in a shoulder holster. This is anachronistic for the time period of the series, as the MK IV Series 80 was first produced in 1983.
The M16 rifle was the main rifle of the U.S. Army soldiers in Vietnam and is seen carried by most of the platoon. In the series, various models of the M16 are seen.
A Colt Sporter Carbine modified to resemble the XM177 rifle is mainly seen being used by SFC Clayton "Zeke" Anderson (Terence Knox). For the remainder of the series, the Colt is loaded with the more accurate 20 round magazine.
The Norinco Type 56-1 fitted with a drum magazine is seen in the hands of Goldman in "Acceptable Losses" (S3E14). In "War is a Contact Sport" (S3E18), an NVA tank gunner atop a T-55 is seen using one that's fitted with a drum magazine.

The Smith & Wesson M76 is seen used by Pvt. Ruiz (Ramon Franco) on some SOG missions. A bit of trivia: In 1966, the Swedish government blocked the sales of arms to the US as a protest against US involvement in the Vietnam conflict. As a result, Smith and Wesson created a clone of the Swedish M/45 which became known as the M76 on its release in 1967.
The Carl Gustav M/45 is used by Cpl. Danny Purcell (Tony Becker) and CIA Agent Duke Fontaine (Patrick Kilpatrick) on some SOG missions. The US forces in Vietnam used "deniable" weapons for some ops, which included the Carl Gustav.
The Soviet Goryunov SGM Machine Gun or Chinese Type 57 machine gun is also seen used by NVA forces in the series. Actually it's not a real Goryunov machine gun. It's visually modified Browning M1919
