This is what I use IMFDB for: to bolster my knowledge of firearms and to be able to identify them.

I didn't mean to be unreasonable and "demand" someone make a page; I just thought I'd get a little help from others more knowledgeable about firearms than me. With time, maybe I'll be able to contribute to IMFDB on my own.
I can tell you from reading the book that most of the weapons are standard U.S. Army issue stuff that you can identify by going to Wikipedia: M4 carbines, M249 SAWs, the M240, and the Browning M2HB .50-caliber.
