AR15 Patriot Pistol

A short AR15 full auto pistol (probably a Patriot Pistol) is seen being loaded by Kelly's men prior to the night battle and Dr. Karen Ross (Laura Linney) ends up using it during the fight. The pistol is built up from a Patriot barreled Upper receiver on a full auto Colt XM lower (possibly a Model 614 Export version), which has a partial magazine fence as opposed to the "slab side" receiver found on the SP1 Sporter. Rather than use the short buffer tube on most AR15 pistol variants, the armorers simply removed the XM177 style buttstock from the standard Carbine Buffer tube and kept it on the firearm. The finishes are noticeable different from the Patriot upper receiver and the Colt Lower receiver.

Dr. Karen Ross (Laura Linney) fires her Patriot Pistol - 5.56mm. The buffer tube is simply the Colt Carbine buffer tube devoid of the buttstock and not the short buffer tubes provided on guns like the Patriot or other AR15 pistol variants.

Unknown Bolt Action Rifle

I'm leaning towards a Winchester Model 70 without a scope due to the general shape. A background Kelly man holds a bolt action rifle but never fires it. Facing a horde of attacking Grey Gorillas one would want an assault rifle at the least.

One of Kelly's men holds a bolt action rifle - most likely a Mod 70 - .308 Winchester

One of Kelly's men in back holds a bolt action rifle - (Note that his barrel changes length in different shots) - .308 Winchester

Smartguns

Similar to the 'smart guns' used in the film Aliens, the camp has machine guns with dual drum magazines operating automatically to fire at movement 'out to 40 yards'. Though the Smartguns in the film 'Aliens' were actually German Spandau Machine guns, these are fake acetylene gas firing mockup guns.
