War Machine (2017)

Olympic Arms K23B Tactical

LCDR Pete Duckman (Anthony Hayes), a US Navy SEAL on McMahon's staff carries a Olympic Arms K23B Tactical as his main weapon. Most likely, this is the same gun that was previously seen in Skyfall; the common denominator is that both productions sourced weapons from the same armory (Bapty & Co., U.K.)

Other

M203 Grenade Launcher

US Marines also use the M4A1 with an M203 grenade launcher.

This carbine has been incorrectly assembled using the bottom half of the KAC RAS handguard with only a single rail rather than the correct top half which contains the side rails. Also note that this particular carbine is not an actual M4; it notably has a thin "pencil barrel" with no step for an M203 mount, and the flattop upper receiver appears to have been manufactured by cutting off the carry handle from an earlier upper.
