Private First Class Holbrook (Daryl Mitchell) walks past a group of soldiers carrying M16A2s.

In a flashback, Sgt. Bilkos (Steve Martin) right-hand man looks right down the barrel of his M16A2. Not very bright.

Shortly before Fenders little mishap with his M16A2, Pfc. Holbrook (Daryl Mitchell) watches as Bilko attempts to make his men look like actual soldiers.

M60

An M60 can be seen mounted on top of the turret of the hover tank.
