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.
Norinco Type 56
Several resistance fighters are seen armed with Norinco Type 56 rifles.
AKM
Throughout the remainder of Season 1, Tom Mason (Noah Wyle) carries an AKM as his preferred weapon.

An M16A1 can be seen in the hands of a resistance fighter.
M16A2
Several resistance fighters are seen armed with M16A2 rifles.
M16A4
One resistance fighter can be seen armed with an M16A4 rifle, identifiable by the removable carry handle/rear sights.
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.
L1A1 SLR
The British variant of the FN FAL rifle, the L1A1 SLR is seen in the hands of of a resistance fighter inside a grocery store.

A Marlin Model 336 can be seen in the hands of one of the resistance fighters.
In (S1E08), Sonya (Blair Brown), 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.
Springfield Armory M1A
One of Terry Clayton's men in "Sanctuary (Part 2)" carries a M1A Rifle. John Pope later takes the rifle and uses it in a shoot out with Clayton's men.
Karen (Jessy Schram) uses a UMP9, as noted by the curved magazine, as her preferred weapon.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3

In "Sanctuary, Part 1" (S1E06), Maggie gives a Beretta 92FS Inox to Anne Glass (Moon Bloodgood) after an incident in the clinic.

Colt Single Action Army
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.

The Falling Skies website mistakenly refers to this machine gun as a .50 Caliber weapon, when, in fact, it uses the .308 Winchester round.
