M16A1 with A2 style handguards - 5.56x45mm. Putting the distinctive A2 handguards on the older rifle was a method used by Movie/TV armorers to simulate A2 rifles when M16A1s were the only ones available. The same thing has been done vice-versa, Using M16A2's with A1 handguards for Vietnam War B Movies.

Miscellanea

AR-15 parts

In a continuity error, the High Standard Model 10B morphs into a half assembled AR-15 with A1 handguards. This might be because the scene involved McBain beating up two guards with the weapon and they did not want to risk damage to the Model 10B.
