Rules of Engagement is a 2000 war/drama film directed by William Friedkin and starring Samuel L. Jackson as U.S Marine Colonel Terry Childers, who is being court-marshaled after ordering his troops to open fire on a crowd of civilian protesters in Sana'a, Yemen.

The following weapons appear in the film Rules of Engagement:
Warning: Potential Spoilers Ahead!
Handguns
M1911A1
The M1911A1 appears in the film as the sidearm of then-Lieutenant Terry Childers (Samuel L. Jackson) in Vietnam. Childers uses the M1911A1 to force NVA Colonel Binh Le Cao (Baoan Coleman) to order his men to disengage after they ambush the U.S Marines being led by then-Lieutenant Hayes Hodges (Tommy Lee Jones).
Customized Springfield Armory Professional 1911 Pistol
While Childers is crying on the desk there is a Springfield Armory Professional customized with stainless parts. It is possible that the pistol is a customized Kimber.
Makarov PM
A Makarov PM is seen on a Yemeni officer's desk when Hodges questions him about the massacre in Sana'a.
Shotguns
Remington 870 Combat Shotgun
One of the Marines in Hodge's squad in the opening Vietnam sequence carries a Remington 870 with a heat shield.
Mossberg 590 Combat Shotgun
The Marine Embassy Guards can be seen armed with Mossberg 590 shotguns during the siege, fitted with bayonet lugs and wood furniture.

M16A1 Rifle
During the opening Vietnam scenes, then-Lieutenants Hodges (Tommy Lee Jones) and Childers (Samuel L. Jackson) lead a platoon of Marines armed with M16A1s.
SKS
NVA soldiers are shown firing SKS rifles when they ambush Hodges' Marines in a swamp.
AKM
AKM rifles are used by several NVA soldiers when they attempt to ambush Childer's Marines.
AKMS
The AKMS is used by the Yemeni protesters during the siege of the U.S embassy in Sana'a. A memorable scene in the film shows a first-person view of an AKMS firing at the U.S. flag as it's being taken down from the embassy, the shooter putting several holes in the flag before the Marines can get it down.
FN-FAL
A Yemeni gunman is shown firing a FN FAL with a scope at the Marine helicopters as they approach the beseiged embassy.
M16A2 Rifle
Most of Colonel Childers' Marines in Yemen are armed with M16A2 rifles.

The M4A1 carbine is used by Captain Lee (Blair Underwood) during the embassy evacuation. Another Marine escorting Ambassador Mourain (Ben Kingsley) is also armed with a M4A1.
AKMSU
AKMSU carbines are carried by Yemeni security forces when Hodges visits Sana'a as part of his investigation, and in flashback sequences during Col. Childers' court-marshal.
Machine Guns

The M60 machine gun is used by Marines in the opening Vietnam scenes and later on the UH-1 helicopter that transports Col. Childers' team to the besieged U.S. embassy in Yemen.
RPD Light Machine Gun
RPD light machine guns are used by the North Vietnamese in the opening scene.
Daewoo K3 Light Machine Gun
During the embassy siege, several Marines use Daewoo K3 light machine guns that have been visually modified to resemble the M249 SAW (they are fitted with M249 heat shields, among other features, but are recognizable as K3s due to the shape of the front sight and gas tube).
Other
M18 Smoke Grenade
During the scene in Vietnam, several Marines, including Childers, have M18 smoke grenades attached to their web gear.
M79 Grenade Launcher
The M79 grenade launcher is shown being used by marines during the opening scene in Vietnam.
