(Faux) M16A2 (Bulgarian AR)

At least some of the M16A2 rifles used in the film appear to be mocked up Arsenal AR's. Because this production was partially filmed in Bulgaria, these are likely the same mockups seen in other productions also filmed in the area including Universal Soldier: Regeneration and The Shepherd: Border Patrol.

Arsenal AR - 7.62x39mm

The "M16" rifles here are in reality Arsenal AR's mocked up with M16 carry handles and A2 handguards. These scenes were filmed in Bulgaria, making it likely these are the same mockups seen in other productions also filmed in the area including Universal Soldier: Regeneration and The Shepherd: Border Patrol .

AK-47

Local militia fighters in Bosnia are armed with AK-47 assault rifles.
