==Colt M1911A1==
A Colt M1911A1 or similar variant is briefly seen when survivalists in Fairfield, Nebraska load up weapons. 
== SIG-Sauer P226 ==
A Philadelphia police officer uses his duty sidearm, a SIG-Sauer P226, to kill himself when the event affects Rittenhouse Park. This pistol is picked up and used by others to commit suicide. A P226 is also used by a US Army military policeman, PFC Auster. This is incorrect- while some SIG-Sauer P220 series pistols are issued in the US military, they are extremely limited, and it is unlikely that a common military policeman would have them. Instead, a military policeman, or any of the other military branches' police units (e.g. USN master-at-arms, USAF security forces) would be equipped with the standard Beretta M9 pistol.

=Rifles=
==AK-47==
During the segment showing men loading weapon in Fairfield, Nebraska, one of the survivalists sitting near a cooler loads an AK-type rifle.
==AR-15-Style Rifle==
One of the men in Fairfield, Nebraska loads an AR-15-style rifle. It is a heavy barreled 16" carbine that doesn't have the step down found on the M4-style barrels. It is seen only very briefly, preventing more specific details from being made out.

==Iver M1 Carbine==
While the survivalists arm themselves in Fairfield, Nebraska, they watch the crisis unfolding on a television set. An M1 Carbine with parts from the Iver Johnson Enforcer Pistol (with late model heat shield and wooden foregrip) is seen on a table near the television. A second Enforcer-style M1 Carbine is seen leaning against a trunk near the cooler.

==Unidentified Bolt Action Rifle==
An unidentified rifle is seen in the survivalists' arsenal. Like several other weapons in the scene, it is seen very briefly and impossible to identify.

==Unidentified Bull-Barreled Rifle==
The man holding the AK-47 in Fairfield also has a bull-barreled rifle near his legs. Again, it is impossible to identify anything other than the general type of weapon.

==Unknown Rifle==
An unidentifiable rifle is used by another survivor in the boarded-up house visited by Elliot's group. It appears to be a heavy barreled .308 rifle of some sort with no front sights. Being that we only see the end of the barrel, it could be anything from a Remington 700 to a Thompson Center Arms Contender Rifle.
