13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi is a 2016 military thriller directed by Michael Bay that recounts the events surrounding the attack on both the Ambassador's residence and the CIA's diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012. The film stars John Krasinski, James Badge Dale, and Pablo Schreiber as members of the CIA's Annex Security Team who helped to repel the attackers and attempted to rescue the ambassador. The film was adapted from the book 13 Hours by Michael Zuckoff.
The following weapons were used in the film 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi:
Ambassador Stevens (Matt Letscher) is seen with a Glock 17 as his sidearm to defend himself when the attackers storm onto the Mission. Several other characters in the film also use Glock 17s.
Jack Silva (John Krasinski) and "Oz" (Max Martini) carry Colt M4A1s as their rifle of choice. Team members "Boon" (David Denman), "Tanto" (Pablo Schreiber), and "Tig" (Dominic Fumusa) also carry and use M4A1s as secondary weapons. CIA security personal are also armed with M4A1s. The M4A1s are all equipped with EOTech sights, AN/PEQ-15 laser designators, SureFire flashlights, Magpul buttstocks and PMags, and forward grips.
Glen Doherty (Toby Stephens) and the Tripoli GRS Team are all armed with Mk 18 Mod 0s fitted with a flashlights and EOTech XPS holographic sights. DS Agents assigned to protect Ambassador Stevens are also armed with Mk 18 carbines with the same rifle loadout.
Tyrone "Rone" Woods (James Badge Dale), is seen using a Salient Arms International GRY as his rifle of choice, pronounced "grey" like the color. The rifle is equipped with EoTech sights, AN/PEQ-15 laser designator, and Salient Arms' trademark "JailBrake" muzzle device attached to the end of its barrel. During the MANPAD buyback scene, Boon is seen using a "GRY Rifle" in a sniper configuration with a Advanced Armament Co. suppressor attached to the end of the barrel without the "JailBrake" muzzle device, and a ACOG sight. Note that this weapon is anachronistic because this rifle, specifically the JailBrake and the rail it attaches to, was only developed and put to market in 2015. Also, the Magpul SL stock that this rifle is equipped with is also anachronistic since it was first marketed in late 2014.
The two Delta Force operators that accompany Glen Doherty to rescue the besieged Benghazi personnel are both armed with Heckler & Koch HK416D. The rifles are equipped with SureFire suppressors, EOTech 552 sights and, DBAL-I2 laser modules.
The Heckler & Koch HK417 is used throughout the film. The rifle is first seen earlier in the movie manned by Oz (Max Martini), providing sniper cover for the team when they buy back stolen Gaddafi weapons from arms dealers. The HK417 is then used by Boon (David Denman) during the remainder of the film. It is seen fitted with a Harris bipod, Clip-On Night Vision Device (CNVD), and telescopic scope.

F2000s were sold to the Libyan Army and ended up in the hands of militants after Gaddafi's fall, though all images show them with the integrated scope and GL-1 grenade launchers.
M16A2
Members of the 10th Special Forces can been seen carrying M16A2 rifles. A potential buyer at the arms bazaar can also be seen inspecting an M16A2.
Members of the Annex Security Team (AST), including "Tanto" (Pablo Schreiber) and "Tig" (Dominic Fumusa), are armed with what appear to be M249 SAW Paratroopers with components of the Rapid Fielding Initiative, but with no heat shields attached to either of them.
After securing Ambassador Stevens in the saferoom, DS Agent Scott Wickland (David Giuntoli) arms himself with a compact Remington Model 870 with a heatshield and vindicator grips. When the DS Agents are in a car chase with the attackers in hot pursuit, DS Agent Vincent (Kevin Kent) uses the compact shotgun to take out an attacking gunman who was close to shooting out their vehicle's bulletproof windows.
When the mysterious attackers begin their assault on the CIA Annex, the Annex's Cook (Shane Rowe) uses a Mossberg 500 "Persuader" to defend the compound at ground level.
"Tig" (Dominic Fumusa) is seen using a Heckler & Koch HK69A1 Grenade Launcher to take out an enemy technical as well as a couple of the attackers. "Tig" accidentally drops the HK69A1 as the team departs the burned Mission, and the grenade launcher is never seen again.
Boon is seen playing Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, and the weapon seen used in the game is the "ASM1" submachine gun. In reality, Advanced Warfare was not released until 2014, two years after the Benghazi attack. The latest Call of Duty game that was available at the time was Modern Warfare 3.
