For the first three episodes, Tom Mason (Noah Wyle) is seen carrying a Norinco Type 56-1, the Chinese underfolding stock copy of the AKMS, with its distinctive hooded front sight. The rifle also appears to have duct tape wrapped around the end of the stock, presumably for relief when the rifle is put to the shoulder.
After having lost his M4A1 during the events of Episode 3, Hal Mason (Drew Roy) carries a Galil MAR carbine fitted with a conventional bolt handle and top mounted rail as his preferred weapon.
Colt M4A1 carbine is a prominent weapon seen carried by the resistance. In the first episodes, Hal Mason (Drew Roy) is seen carrying the M4A1. Jimmy Boland (Dylan Authors) carries his M4A1 fitted with an EOTech sight.
A rifle of the Heckler & Koch pattern can be seen being used by one of Pope's gang in "The Armory" (S1E02). It is possible that this is the civilian version of the Heckler & Koch G3, the HK91, as noted by the lack of the grenade launching lug on the barrel. It also appears to have a flashlight attached to side of the front sight block.
Sonya, a woman that Tom, Hal, and Weaver encounter in Boston, fires on the group with a Karabiner 98k, an interesting choice for a survivor of the attack. Note The weapon has a hooded front sight, indicating that it is of late to post war manufacture.
A variant of the Colt M1911A1 is carried by Maggie (Sarah Carter). The pistol is fitted with ivory grips and is first seen in "The Armory" (S1E02). She is seen to carry 2 of theses in a black leather shoulder rig.
John Pope (Colin Cunningham) is seen carrying a Colt Single Action Army as his sidearm, notably in "The Armory" (S1E02). In (S1E08), he uses his SAA to test out a new armor-piercing round.
At the beginning of the premiere episode "Live and Learn" (S1E01), a Remington 870 shotgun with an extended mag tube is seen used by a resistance fighter at a human checkpoint.
A Mossberg 590 is used by Weaver in Episode 6 to dispatch a skitter on route to kill/capture Jimmy. The 8-shot is parkerized with ghost-ring sites; whether or not the Speedfeed is present, cannot be seen.
The M240B is another weapon used by the 2nd Massachusetts. It's first seen being carried by Anthony (Mpho Koaho) in the series premiere "Live and Learn" (S1E01). Tom Mason (Noah Wyle) can be seen firing an M240B when his squad ambushes Pope's bandits in "The Armory" (S1E02). The Falling Skies website mistakenly refers to this machine gun as a .50 Caliber weapon, when, in fact, it uses the .308 Winchester round.
Tom Mason (Noah Wyle) can be seen firing an RPG-7. The Falling Skies website erroneously refers to it as a "Bazooka", a completely different weapon system.
