WARNING! POSSIBLE SPOILERS!

M1 Carbine

Several of the US Marines who meet the astronauts on the beach are armed with the M1 Carbine.

Fake M14 Rifles

Several of the US Marines who meet the astronauts on the beach are also armed faux M14 rifles, which were built up from stock M1 Garand rifles, with an M14 style flash hider added, a fake box magazine and the addition of a faux M14 top handguard on top of the Garand wooden handguard. As a trivia note: the Marines are all dressed anachronistically. They wear the Pacific theater helmet cover from WWII, Khaki M23 ten pocket ammo belts (for a Garand) and ARMY(!) style O.D. Green fatigues (the USMC style looked different and had the globe & anchor beneath the left pocket). By the 1970s, any fast reaction force on a base would be wearing the transitional Marine Camouflage (based on the NAM leaf ERDL camo), unless they were base personnel who were 'grabbed' for the emergency.
