Generation Kill is a six part miniseries that premiered on HBO in the summer of 2008. It is based on the book of the same name by Rolling Stone writer Evan Wright, who was embedded with the Marines of the First Reconnaisance Battalion during the initial stages of the 2003 US invasion of Iraq.

The following weapons are featured in the miniseries Generation Kill:


Assault Rifles

M4A1 Carbine

The M4A1 Carbine is the main rifle used by the Marines of First Recon in the series, including Corporal Josh Ray Person (James Ransone) and Sergeant Brad 'Iceman' Colbert (Alexander Skarsgard). The M4s seen in the series all have full quad rails, and some had attachments like PEQ laser modules and and optics. Most are stock with iron sights. Those without M203 launchers mostly have Knights Armament Vertical Grips on the forward rails. Sgt. Colbert's M4, which is the most unique of the M4 Carbines in the series, sports an AN/PVS-17 night sight, a M203 grenade launcher, rail covers, PEQ infrared laser modules, and an ERGO grip.

M16A2 Rifle

The M16A2 is carried by numerous Marines, including Lieutenant Nathaniel Fick (Stark Sands). The M16A2 is currently being phased out for the newer M16A4, but because the mini-series depicts the Invasion of Iraq in 2003, the M16A2 was the standard rifle of most Marine units at the time.
