The M9 is a lightweight, semiautomatic pistol manufactured by Beretta and designed to replace the M1911A1 .45 caliber pistol and .38 caliber revolvers. The M9 has several safety features. It can be fired in either double or single action mode and can be unloaded without activating the trigger while the safety is in the “on” position. The M9 pistol has a 15-round magazine, and may be fired without a magazine inserted. This M-9 Pistol weapon can have the hammer lowered from the cocked, “ready to fire,” position to the uncocked position without activating the trigger by placing the thumb safety on the “on” position.

M16A2 5.56mm Rifle The M16A2 5.56mm rifle is a lightweight, aircooled, gas-operated, magazine-fed, shoulder- or hip-fired weapon made by Colt Manufacturing and Fabrique Nationale Manufacturing Inc. It replaces the M16A1 rifle. The weapon is designed for either automatic fire (3-round 21 bursts) or semiautomatic fire (single shot) through the use of a selector lever. The bottom of the trigger guard opens to provide access to the trigger while wearing winter gloves. The upper receiver/ barrel assembly has a fully adjustable rear sight and a compensator which helps keep the muzzle stable during firing. The steel bolt group and barrel extension are designed with locking lugs which lock the bolt group to the barrel extension allowing the rifle to have a lightweight aluminum receiver.
