Browning M2HB .50 Caliber machine gun
What appears to be infantrymen is seen manning the Browning M2HB .50 caliber machine guns on the M113 armored personel carriers (actually British FV432 APCs) in downtown Los Angeles.
Rather inaccurately, infantry mans the Browning M2HB .50 caliber machine guns on the FV432 APC - .50 BMG
Browning .50 Cal gunners unload with their fifty cal machine guns - .50 BMG. The soldier here is wearing armor and the BDU of an infantryman and not of a Combat Vehicle Crewman (CVC) (who should be manning the guns).

M4A1 Carbine
In the film's opening, a SWAT team runs to the Dragon cave, mostly armed with flat top M4A1 Carbines with Aimpoint sights.
M4A1 5.56mm with M68 Aimpoint scope and RIS foregrip
Early on a SWAT team runs to the Dragon cave, mostly armed with flat top M4 Carbines with Aimpoint sights - 5.56mm
Mechanized Infantry gets into position in front of an APC, with their M4 flat top carbines with M68 Aimpoint sights.
In the carnage of the first failed assault on the Dragon Lair, the surviving SWAT team members fire their M4 Carbines at the approaching Dragon soldiers.
What is interesting is that the M4s have the correct A2 flash hiders (the starburst doesn't go all the way around), which is rare in motion pictures. Usually all blank adapted firearms with birdcage flash hiders have the M16A1 version, to create that beautiful full starburst pattern with their full hot blanks.
M16A1 Rifle
Some M16A1s with A2 handguards are used by U.S. Soldiers in firing sequences. However, during non firing sequences, they seem to have the modified MGC Replica M16s that have been upgraded with A2 handguards, A1 style flash hiders and 30 round magazines (just like the ones used by the Congressionals in the film Barb Wire).
M16A1 5.56mm with M16A2 handguards
A Soldier behind the one with an M4 appears to have a modified MGC M16 with A2 handguards, A1 flash hider and a poorly fitting 30 round magazine.
M230 Chain Gun
Apache helicopter gunships fire their 30mm Hughes M230 Chain Guns, while flying over downtown Los Angeles.

Unknown Revolver
What appears to be a Korean stuntman dressed as a police officer, fires his unknown revolver before being crushed by a flying car. The police car is a Daewoo, and not a standard police car used in the U.S.
Unknown Helicopter Pilot revolver
It looks like a snubnose s&w model 58 .41 magnum
An Apache gunship pilot pulls his survival sidearm, what appears to be a large caliber snub nosed revolver (make and model unknown)
Beretta 92FS
A combination of patrol cars and motorcycle cops fire their Beretta 92FS pistols at the attacking dragon with little effect - 9mm
Two police officers fire their Beretta 92FS pistols at the dragon - 9mm
Trivia
Armored Columns in Los Angeles
Despite what the critics say, there is an impressive (if unsuccessful) defense of Los Angeles by a slew of U.S. Armored Vehicles. The tanks are Chieftain tanks visually modified to pass as M1A1 Abrams as seen in many other movies such as Jarhead, Courage Under Fire, and Cloverfield, but the appearance of so many modern military vehicles (with the correct paint job for the time period) is impressive.
Armored Vehicles drive into the financial district of Los Angeles.
Impressive lineup of U.S. Armored vehicles driving downtown. The two front tanks are easily identified as Army Trucks Inc's Chieftain-chassis fake Abrams, while the ones further back appear to be CG fakes; note that unlike the tanks ahead they do not have a raised lip on the glacis plate, and the shape of their hull front is more correct for an Abrams.
"M1A1" tank with their gunners roll towards their doom...
Military Helicopters
- The CGI helicopters are actually quite good in the film. The Battle over the skies of Los Angeles, though illogical at times, is a nice and high end CGI sequence.
