The following weapons were used in the film Forrest Gump:
M1 Garand
One of the first guns seen in the film is the M1 Garand, seen carried by National Guard soldiers protecting African-American students during the integration of the University of Alabama. National Guardsmen are also seen with M1s slung when guarding the rioters protesting the war in Vietnam.

M16/XM16E1

Both rifles feature three-prong flash-hiders, so it is difficult to tell them apart from the left side of the rifle.
M1911A1
While in Vietnam, Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) is handed an M1911A1 for "Tunnel Rat" duty, and later his commanding officer, Lt. Dan Taylor (Gary Sinise) is seen using one after he is wounded during the battle.
