During the introductory sequence, the fictional F/A-37 "Talon" fighter piloted by Lieutenant Kara Wade (Jessica Biel) is fired on by antiaircraft guns, including a Bofors 40mm gun in a single mount.
M61 Vulcan cannons are presumably mounted on the various US fighters seen during the movie, but are also seen clearly; several appear in the introduction in M167 Vulcan Air Defence System (VADS) towed mountings, while others are visible in Phalanx installations on the the carrier USS Abraham Lincoln.

It isn't particularly clear why the aircraft are practising against this obsolete system; the last M167 VADS was retired from service in 1994.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe VADS swings around, firing constantly; the fire control radar is briefly visible as it points into the camera - 20mmError creating thumbnail: File missingAnother VADS opens fire on the aircraft piloted by Lieutenant Ben Gannon (Josh Lucas). Note that the 20mm M61 is not firing blanks in this scene, as no spent casings are coming out of the chute on the side of the gun; the muzzle flashes are post-production CG additions.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe white fire control radars of two of the Abraham Lincoln's three Phalanx installations are visible to the left and right of her foredeck -20mm
Beretta 92FS
The Beretta 92FS is the standard sidearm of US military personnel, standing in for the military M9.
The Chinese AK/AKM variant, the Type 56 (and 56-1 the folding stock version) are the most commonly seen AK47/AKM rifle in movies and television (at least those done by U.S. Production companies). The Type 56 (full stock) version is commonly seen in the movie, usually in the hands of terrorists of many different stripes. Terrorist guards from several organizations are seen wielding the weapon in Rangoon, Islamic Extremists in a mountain fortress in Tajikistan, and North Korean Soldiers.
In addition to the many Norinco Type 56 Chinese AK rifles, terrorists are also seen wielding what looks like original milled receiver AK-47 rifles with original front sights (not the hooded Type 56 sights). However, being how 'new' they look, they can be the third pattern AK-47 "Legend Series" rifles imported by Poly Technologies, Inc, between 1988-1989. Those were high end identical clones of the original AK-47 rifles but very few were imported.

This is the commercial clone of the original Type III AK-47 and is the most used in American films and shows when showing the milled receiver AK-47Error creating thumbnail: File missingTajikistan terrorist fires his milled receiver AK-47 on the castle wall - 7.62x39mm
Norinco Type 56 Target
Tajikistan terrorists are seen using a long barreled Type 56 variant rifle. It has an underfolding stock and a long barrel but no bipod.
A prototype Heckler & Koch MP7, the Heckler & Koch PDW, is carried and used by Lieutenant Kara Wade (Jessica Biel) when she is shot down over North Korean Territory.
Though the official Colt 733 was 11.5" we see 10" M16 short carbines, in the hands of covert ops thugs in Alaska.

A North Korean marksman with the group tasked with tracking down one of the pilots uses an SVD Dragunov sniper rifle; another is later used by an officer at a border checkpoint.
A curious thing is that all the North Korean Troops carry the Yugo Zastava M70AB2 AK rifle (with a flashlight taped to the front hand guard).

I'll buy a replacement correct pistol grip and rephotograph the gun. :)Error creating thumbnail: File missingNorth Korean officer with a Zastava M70AB2 rifle - 7.62x39mm
Heckler & Koch G36K
Lieutenant Ben Gannon (Josh Lucas) takes a Heckler & Koch G36K fitted with a Heckler & Koch AG36 Grenade Launcher and a Bundeswehr ZF 3x4° dual optical sight from a Black Ops guard and uses it against them in the hangar. Black Ops thugs can also be seen using G36K rifles with Bundeswehr-standard sights.
A F88 Austeyr is held by a Black Ops guard, Gannon tell him to set it on the ground. When Gannon is ambushed, the guard picks it up again, but is shot by Gannon. Austeyr F88 rifles can also be seen in the Alaska Base Armory.
