The Colt M4A1 carbine is one of the main weapons utilized by the U.S. Armed Forces in Battle: Los Angeles, seen in the hands of members of the 2nd Battalion 5th Marines and the 40th Infantry Division. The M4's appear to be fitted with ACOG scopes, RIS foregrips, Surefire Universal weaponlights, and most interestingly, AN/PEQ-15 laser designators; an improved, compact version of the AN/PEQ-2 system first employed in the early 2000's.

M240D Machine Gun
The mounted version of M240 machine guns machine gun is visible on the ramp of at least one of the U.S.M.C. CH-46 Sea Knights that appears in a 4 seconds teaser released in July 2010. Another M240 apears to be monted on top of the comandeered LAV25, though it is never seen clearly
One of the Marines is seen carrying the M136 AT4 in the film's trailer after aquiring it from the wreckage of the FOB. Technical Sergeant Adriana Santos (Michelle Rodriguez) uses it in the end battle to destroy an alien drone. The movie seems to the treat the AT4 as a guided weapon, judging by the squealing lock-on tone heard before firing.
