"M15A4" AIRSOFT RIFLE

When Travis (Michael Angarano) escapes from the basement, he hides in the armory and takes out a Classic Army M15A4 airsoft rifle (which is a replica of the M4A1 Carbine). It is recognizable by the white "ArmaLite" logo and the white-painted fire position markings on the lower receivers (which no real AR-15 manufacturer uses).

This good close-up shows the ArmaLite logo, giving away that the gun is just an airsoft rifle. He wouldn't do much damage with the selector on safe also. (It should be noted that not ALL airsoft manufacturers use white fire position markers on their rifles, the more expensive airsoft M4's have the correct, real-life selectors.)
Travis looks around, desperately trying to find a way out of the church.

Norinco Type 56

Norinco Type 56 rifles are used by the Believers prominently, including Sara (Melissa Leo), Esther (Jennifer Schwalbach Smith), Mordechai (James Parks). Billy-Ray (Nicholas Braun) picks up and fires a Type 56 when he escapes from the basement and confronts Caleb.

Note: ALL Type 56's and Type 56-1's are fitted with slant muzzle brakes to pass for AKMs.
