The following weapons appear in the film Dragon Wars: D-War:

Usually all blank adapted firearms with birdcage flash hiders have the M16A1 version, to create that beautiful full starburst pattern with their full hot blanks.

Despite what the critics say, there is an impressive (if unsuccessful) defense of Los Angeles by a slew of U.S. Armored Vehicles. The tanks are Centurion tanks visually modified to pass as M1A1 Abrams as seen in many other movies such as Jarhead, Courage Under Fire, and Cloverfield, but the appearance of so many modern military vehicles (with the correct paint job for the time period) is impressive.
The CGI helicopters are actually quite good in the film. The Battle over the skies of Los Angeles, though illogical at times, is a nice and high end CGI sequence.
