Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
The following weapons are seen in the film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen:
M4A1 Carbine
Major William Lennox (Josh Duhamel), CMSgt. Bobby Epps (Tyrese Gibson), and Captain Graham (Matthew Marsden) can be seen holding M4A1 carbines as their main weapon in the film. Apparently all the M4s as well as other weapons used by NEST were dressed up to give them a bit more of a futuristic look to them, A lot of them are seen with Magpul PMAG polymer magazines and appear to be modified to use special Sabot ammo as was stated in the first Transformers to be the only type of ammunition that can do any damage to the Decepticons. Among the accessories seen on the M4's include Magpul CTR & Crane Stocks, Surefire Universal weaponlights, EOTech red dot sights, and AN/PVS-17 night-vision scopes. Other U.S. military personnel can be seen using regular M4A1's with varying accessories including ACOG scopes, C-More red dot sights, Surefire Universal weaponlights, and RIS foregrips.
M203 Grenade Launcher
Several NEST soldiers have M203 grenade launchers mounted on their M4A1 carbines.
Mk 46 Mod 0 Light Machine Gun
The Mk 46 Mod 0 is seen in the hands of NEST soldiers, dressed up with Hollywood embellishments like their M4A1's. They are also fitted with side-mounted ammo boxes, M68 Aimpoint red dot scopes, Harris bipods, and M145 MGO scopes.
SIG-Sauer P226
A SIG-Sauer P226 is seen in a Blackhawk tactical holster on CMSgt. Epps’ vest, though he is never seen using it.
Hand Held M134 Minigun
A Hand Held M134 Minigun is seen being used by an unnamed NEST soldier in Shanghai. Movie armorer Steve Karnes had the following to say about the film thread on our discussion forum. "You missed the hand held Dillon M134DT Titanium Minigun with a carbon fiber backpack ammo box with power source. I designed and built the hand hold mount for the Minigun. It's a different set up than the old style used in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The set up for Transformers 2 is the same one we used in G.I. Joe except it was a standard M134 and not the Titanium model."
Special
Milkor M32 MGL
The Milkor M32 MGL is seen being held by a NEST soldier while suiting up. Seen in action by NEST troops throughout the film.

At one point in the film, a NEST soldier can be seen carrying an Barrett M82A1 sniper rifle when NEST is gearing up to mobilize.
M1 Garand
M1 Garand rifles were seen in the hands of a military honor guard at the NEST base in Diego Garcia when the bodies of the NEST soldiers that died in the Shanghai operation were loaded onto an awaiting USAF C-17 Globemaster transport plane.
M249 SAW
A heavily modified M249 SAW made to look "futuristic", with Paratrooper-style telescoping stock, is seen used by NEST troops in the battle at Egypt. Like the Mk 46 Mod 0 mentioned above, the SAWs are also fitted with various optics such as the M68 Aimpoint red dot scope.
MG42 Machine Gun

NEST Chainguns
Several NEST vehicles are armed with mocked up Doom-style chainguns. While they look like GAU-19/As they are much smaller than the real thing. They are about the same size as a HMMWV mounted M134D Minigun. Secondly the amunition canisters are smaller than those for either aforementioned system.
M136 AT4
Several M136 AT4 is seen on the back of NEST soldiers, fitted with AN/PVS-4 night vision scopes and Hollywood embellishments, riding in a motorcycle during the Shanghai search for Decepticons.

Bushmaster M17S
A number of Bushmaster M17S rifles were seen in the hands of Chinese police officers & PLA soldiers in Shanghai, fitted with an unknown red dot scope. It is possible that the M17S rifles were standing in for modern Chinese bullpup rifles like the Norinco QBZ-95 rifle.
M61A2 Vulcan
Starscream can be seen firing his arm-mounted M61A2 Vulcan several times in the movie.
Trivia
N.E.S.T.
There really is a N.E.S.T. in the U.S. It stands for Nuclear Emergency Support Team and it is not a fighting force but has lots of scientists and bomb disposal experts. N.E.S.T. usually counts on elite units from the various branches to help it with any fights or defensive postures. It is a unit of the U.S. Department of Energy and deals mostly with detecting, controlling and deactivating nuclear devices or threats on U.S. Soil. In the films Broken Arrow and The Peacemaker, N.E.S.T. is referred to by its older name Nuclear Emergency Search Team, but within the last ten years the name was changed. The "N.E.S.T." seen in the movie may be a different group with the same acronym (or a fictional upgrade of the existing NEST, being that the Allspark, the Autobots and the Decepticons all emanate at least some levels of radiation).
N.E.S.T Island Base
One of the main reasons why N.E.S.T, a US run special operations unit would allow British Special Forces into their ranks not only because they are one of the few foreign nations in which have had good special operations history with, but because of the island in which N.E.S.T's base is stationed on. The island, which is actually a live US Naval Base, was given to the US by the British for lease. Keeping the secret of the Autobots residing on the island from the British would not have lasted long, so in good faith payment I suspect the US government allowed the British to have their own Special Forces teams within N.E.S.T .
