He also appears to have an M203 leaf sight mounted on the handguard, despite not having an M203 on his weapon. While clearing a house during a firefight with Iraqi insurgents, Aiken accidentally kills an unarmed woman who stepped out in front of him, mistaking her for an enemy in the tight confines, the incident haunting him throughout the film.
Colt Model 933
As the protagonists' convoy is entering the city, they pass two soldiers searching and questioning an Iraqi woman, the soldiers carrying Colt Model 933 carbines.
M4A1/M203 Grenade Launcher
Private Jordan Owens (Chad Michael Murray) can be seen carrying an M4A1 carbine fitted with an M203 grenade launcher as his main weapon in Iraq, using it up until he's killed by an insurgent.
M249 SAW Paratrooper
In addition to his M16A2, Yates is also seen using an M249 SAW Paratrooper when riding as a gunner on one of the humvees in the convoy, with a 200-round woodland camo cloth ammo bag. He can be seen with it again when riding on another convoy at the end of the film.
Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun
In addition to the Paratrooper SAWs mentioned above, some of the humvees in the convoy are also armed with Browning M2HB heavy machine guns mounted on the roof, though in a rather odd mounting, nearly flush with the top of the vehicle.
M136 AT4
During the ambush on the convoy, one soldier uses an M136 AT4 to take out an insurgent firing on the soldiers from an upper story window, though is shown holding the weapon backwards.
Beretta 92FS
There are several appearances of the Beretta 92FS in the film, first seen in the hands of Lt. Colonel William "Will" Marsh (Samuel L. Jackson) during the convoy ambush, then in the hands of an enraged and grief-stricken soldier who threatens to shoot Col. Marsh if he doesn't treat his injured friend when the base is under insurgent mortar attack.
FPK/PSL Sniper Rifle
When the ambush on the convoy starts, the first shot is fired by an insurgent using an FPK/PSL sniper rifle, killing an Iraqi Army soldier with a shot to the neck.
RGD-5 Hand Grenade
When clearing a building during the ambush, Yates kills an insurgent who drops a live RGD-5 hand grenade, though Yates and the other soldiers with him manage to get clear before the grenade detonates.
Norinco Type 56
While persuing insurgents into a graveyard, one of the insurgents manages to sneak up behind Pvt. Owens, shooting him in the back of the neck with a Norinco Type 56 fitted with an AKM-style muzzle brake.
AK Carbine
Most of the insurgents involved in the convoy ambush can be seen armed with a custom-made AK-47 carbine; the weapon having the hooded front sights of the Norinco Type 56, AKM-style slant muzzle brakes, short barrels, and side-folding wire frame stocks as seen on the Romanian AIMS rifle.
Type 69 RPG
During the convoy ambush, one of the insurgents fires a Type 69 RPG at the convoy, destroying one of the trucks in the convoy. The weapon can be identified by having the sights mounted off-center to allow for the carrying handle.
M1 Garand
During Pvt. Owens' funeral, the honor guard can be seen firing a gun salute using M1 Garand rifles.
AR-15 A2 HBAR
When talking to his boss about having had his civilian job at a local gun store given to someone else while he was in Iraq, Yates picks up and inspects an AR-15 A2 HBAR rifle with no muzzle brake.
- If it has no muzzle brake, and no threading on the end of the barrel, it might be a Colt Match Target or some other "post-ban" AR-15 variant.
Mossberg 500
While discussing the termination of Yates' job at the gun store, he owner is seen cleaning a Mossberg 500 with wooden furniture.
12 Gauge Over/Under Shotgun
During the conversation with the gun store owner, the owner is also seen cleaning a 12 gauge over/under double-barreled shotgun.
Smith & Wesson 4506
At one point, out of frustration for not being able to get effective treatment for a back injury he suffered in Iraq coupled with his girlfriend Keisha (Ginger Ewing) breaking up with him, Aiken causes a hostage standoff at the coffee shop Keisha works at, holding her and the other employees hostage while armed with a Smith & Wesson 4506. He requests to talk to Yates, and Yates nearly succeeds in talking him into surrendering, but Aiken points his weapon at the police and is killed.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
During the hostage standoff, police SWAT officers can be seen armed with Heckler & Koch MP5A3's with Navy trigger groups, M68 Aimpoint red dot scopes, and Surefire dedicated forend weaponlights.
Remington 700PSS Sniper Rifle
During the hostage standoff, a SWAT sniper is seen armed with a Remington 700PSS sniper rifle with a camouflage paint scheme, Harris bipod, and a pouch of some kind on the side of the stock. When Aiken points his pistol at the police, the sniper kills him with a single shot to the chest.
Glock 17
Some of the police officers seen in the hostage standoff can be seen using Glock 17 pistols as their sidearms.
Beretta 92FS Inox
At one point in the film, Marsh has a violent outburst after showing up drunk for Thanksgiving dinner, and then goes to his room and retrieves a Beretta 92FS Inox, contemplating comitting suicide, but his wife Penelope (Victoria Rowell) finds him and manages to stop him before he can carry out the act, the incident prompting the Marsh family to seek counseling.
