Platoon
The following guns were used in the film Platoon
M16A1
Marines in both Elias and Barnes' squads use M16A1s, most commonly seen in the hands of Pvt. Chris Taylor (Charlie Sheen).
MGC M16 replica
In several scenes, MGC-16 replica rifle in place of blank firing M16A1 rifles. They are noted by their shortened forward assists. Most MGCs have blued magazines but they appear to have regular mags stuck in instead.
M16
Crawford (Chris Pedersen) is briefly seen using what appears to be an original M16 as it lacks a forward assist. It could also be an AR-15/SP1 rifle, but since he is not seen firing it, it is unknown.
Colt Model 653
Sgt. Elias Grodin(Willem Dafoe), Sgt. Robert Barnes (Tom Berenger), and Lt. Wolfe (Mark Moses) are armed with Colt Model 653 rifles noted by their forward assists an 14.5" barrels.
- What does it mean when the forward assist is rounded? Modern update?

The M1911A1 was the standard sidearms for all of the NCOs and officers in the film "Platoon".

Chinese Type 56
In the movie Platoon, the NVA soldiers used the Chinese Type 56, their copy of the Russian AK-47. In the real war, North Vietnamese used many real Russian and Chinese AKs, with the vast majority of supplied weapons coming from the Chinese. The Chinese Type 56 AK was also the rifle that Chris Taylor, played by Charlie Sheen, uses to shoot Sgt. Barnes.
