M16A1 (A2 Handguards)
The majority of the US soldiers in the film carry what appear to be M16A2-style rifles. This appear to be M16A1 rifles with A2-style round handguards.
Norinco Type 56-1
What appears to be the Norinco Type 56-1 rifle carried by Russian soldiers in the film. These rifles have the distinctive full-circle ("hooded") front sights of the Norinco, but have slant muzzle brakes of Russian-made AK rifles. Colonel Valachev (Jürgen Prochnow) appears to use one of these rifles that's been fitted with what appears to be a GP-25 Grenade launcher.

Browning M2 HB machine guns are seen mounted on US Army APC's in the film.
