Civil War

Civil War is a 2024 American action war film directed by Alex Garland (28 Days Later). Set in the near future, the film takes place during a rapidly escalating Second American Civil War, where the tyrannical President of the United States (Nick Offerman) fortifies himself and his loyalists in Washington, D.C. as the secessionist Western Forces close in. Seasoned photojournalist Lee Smith (Kirsten Dunst) joins the Western Forces army to document the war, followed by fellow journalists Joel (Wagner Moura) and Jessie (Cailee Spaeny). The group is determined to interview the President before the conflict concludes. Along the way, the trio witnesses the devastation of the Second Civil War firsthand, and become ever more active participants in the conflict.

A Western Forces commando draws his Glock 19 when checking the rooftops for the mortar teams to set up. Another WF commando uses a Glock 19 to exchange fire with Secret Service agents when his Colt LE Carbine runs dry during the battle inside the White House.

In a continuity error, the Secret Service agent's MP5A2 changes into a Heckler & Koch MP5A3, as the fixed stock is seen just before and during Jesse taking a picture of the action, then changes to a retractable stock, which is seen extended when he gets shot by Western Forces in the White House.
=Rifles=
==Colt AR-15A3 Tactical Carbine==
In an iconic scene, an unnamed Nationalist militiaman (Jesse Plemons) is armed with a Colt AR-15A3 Tactical Carbine with a EOTech EXPS2 holographic sight, 30-round STANAG magazine, and KAC quad picatinny rail handguard. Another Nationalist is also armed with an identically set up rifle.

The same rifle with all the exact attachments with the exception of parkarized STANAG magazines later turns up in the hands of a character named "WF White House Assaulter #1" (Jared Shaw), the leader of a Western Forces commando squad which assaults the White House during the battle of Washington, D.C. The WF White House Sergeant's (Jojo T. Gibbs) rifle also changes from a M4A1 Carbine into a Colt LE Carbine when she enters the White House.
==M4A1 Carbine==
Soldiers of the United States and the Western Forces both commonly carry M4A1 carbines throughout the film, mostly fitted with a variety of EOTech XPS2 holographic sights and/or Trijicon TA31 ACOG scopes, KAC quad rail handguards, some with AN/PEQ-15 laser designators, RIS foregrips, and flashlights, most notably during the battle of Washington, D.C. and the storming of the White House. U.S. Marines are also seen with M4A1s in a flashback scene of Lee's time covering a conflict in the Middle East. 
==Colt Mk 18 Mod 0==
Several militia fighters carry Mk 18 Mod 0 carbines during an assault on a Federal position in the university shootout, notably by one of them who is pinned down and subsequently shot; this militiaman's carbine has a EOTech 551 holographic sight, UTG quad rail handguard, and LE stock. Western Forces soldiers also carry Mk 18 Mod 0 carbines during the battle in Washington, D.C., mostly fitted with EOTech 551 holographic sights and KAC quad rail handguards.
==Colt Model 933==
Several Western Forces soldiers and militiamen appear to use Colt Model 933 carbines throughout the film. One of the militiaman is seen with a M933 with a EOTech 551 Holographic in one of Lee's photographs during the attempt to rescue their friend.
==Noveske N4 Diplomat==
What appears to be a Noveske N4 Diplomat with an EOTech 551 holographic sight, flashlight, camouflage tape wrapped around the handguard (for a smooth griping point), and Vltor EMOD buttstock is carried and fired by a red Hawaiian shirt-wearing militiaman during the shootout at the university. This AR features a different 'flat' profile forward assist differing from standard AR forward assists.

Numerous AR-15 variants with different attachments and configurations are used by militia fighters and soldiers throughout the film. 
===AR-15 Variant 1 (possibly Palmetto State Armory or SVRN)===
Pete (Greg Hill) uses a customized AR-style rifle with a telescopic optic sight, Keymod handguard, flashlight, Magpul AFG grip, Magpul MOE buttstock and tan Magpul PMAG magazine while guarding a gas station. The same AR is later seen in the hands of a Western Forces radio operator identified as "WF White House Assaulter #3" (Brian Philpot) during the assault on the White House, although the telescopic sight has been replaced with an EOTech XPS holographic sight and black P-MAGs.
===AR-15 Variant 2===
Eddie (Edmund Donovan) uses an AR-style rifle with a Troy Alpha rail free float handguard and an EOTech XPS2 holographic sight and magnifier. The same rifle (minus the magnifier) is later seen in the hands of one of the Western Forces commandos identified as "WF White House Assaulter #2" (Justin Garza) who assaults the White House.
===AR-15 Variant 3===
The Commercial Corporal (James Yaegashi) who leads the squad of militiamen assaulting the university uses an AR-style rifle with a Daniel Defense MFR handguard, flashlight, an EOTech 512 Holographic sight and a Daniel Defense buttstock. 
===AR-15 Variant 4===
A Western Forces commando is seen using an AR-style rifle with a full length railed handguard, suppressor and Aimpoint Micro red dot sight during the assault on the White House. 
==AK Variant==
A long haired militiaman appears to be carrying an AKM-type rifle with black synthetic furniture, flared magwell, and a Crane SOPMOD buttstock with buffer tube during a shootout at the university.
=Sniper Rifles=
==Aero Precision M5==
Custom sniper rifles based on an Aero Precision M5E1 Gen 1 upper receiver and a MAS Defense AR-10 lower receiver are used by various snipers during the film. 
The upper receiver can be recognized by the Aero Precision logo on the bolt carrier group and the M5E1 Enhanced gen 1 handguard.
==Remington M24==
A Western Forces sniper is seen setting up a M24 Sniper Rifle during the battle in Washington, D.C. 
==Bolt-Action Rifle==
A town resident defending a non-combat zone carries an unidentifiable bolt-action rifle.
=Machine Guns=
==Browning M2HB==
The Browning M2HB is seen mounted on various vehicles. Western Forces troops use M2HBs mounted on Humvees, MRAPs, and mock-up M1A1 Abrams tanks while assaulting Washington, D.C. 
==M240B==
M240B machine guns are used by militiamen and soldiers. A M240B mounted on a Humvee is used when Western Forces troops attack the White House.
 
==Mk 48 Mod 0==
Western Forces soldiers assaulting the White House, most notably a character identified as "WF White House Assaulter #4" (Tywaun Tornes), carry Mk 48 Mod 0 machine guns with collapsible stocks. The Mk 48 Mod 0 is distinguishable by the older rail handguard heatshield and heavier barrel for 7.62x51mm NATO.

=Launchers=
==Carl Gustav M2 Recoilless Rifle==
Federal forces use a Carl Gustav M2 Recoilless Rifle while defending the White House. 
==FGM-148 Javelin==

=Emplaced Weapons=
==M224 Mortar==
Several Western Forces carry and use 60mm M224 Mortars during the battle of Washington, D.C.
==Rocket Pods==
An Eurocopter AS350 Écureuil with what appears to be rocket pods is seen flying towards the Western Forces' base in Charlottesville, Virginia.
==M230 Chain Gun==
An AH-64 Apache with its M230 Chain Gun is seen fired during the film's climatic battle of Washington, D.C., however, when fired, its sound profile is closer to a minigun rather than the slowed 625rpm of the real M230. At one point, an Apache descends to street level between two buildings and fires an AGM-114 Hellfire missile at a Federal position at very close range, when in reality, Apaches will typically hover and fire their weapons at long-range rather than needlessly expose themselves to enemy fire. Or in this case, collision with the surrounding terrain.

==Fake M1A1 Abrams==
Two M1A1 Abrams tanks are used by Western Forces troops to attack White House gates during the Battle of Washington D.C. The tanks are both British made Chieftain tanks that have been visually modified to resemble the M1A1 Abrams.
