Here's some info about the real weapons 
from the U.S.Marine Corps homepage (http://www.usmc.mil/)

    M16A2 5.56mm Rifle
    
   Primary function: Infantry weapon
   Manufacturer: Colt Manufacturing and Fabrique Nationale Manufacturing
   Inc.
   Length: 39.63 inches (100.66 centimeters)
   Weight, with 30 round magazine: 8.79 pounds (3.99 kilograms)
   Bore diameter: 5.56mm (.233 inches)
   Maximum effective range:
   Area target: 2,624.8 feet (800 meters)
   Point target: 1,804.5 feet (550 meters)
   Muzzle velocity: 2,800 feet (853 meters) per second
   Rate of fire:
   Cyclic: 800 rounds per minute
   Sustained: 12-15 rounds per minute
   Semiautomatic: 45 rounds per minute
   Burst: 90 rounds per minute
   Magazine capacity: 30 rounds
   Unit Replacement Cost: $586
   
   Features: The M16A2 5.56mm rifle is a lightweight, air-cooled,
   gas-operated, magazine-fed, shoulder- or hip-fired weapon designed for
   either automatic fire (3-round bursts) or semiautomatic fire (single
   shot) through the use of a selector lever. The weapon has a fully
   adjustable rear sight. The bottom of the trigger guard opens to
   provide access to the trigger while wearing winter mittens. The upper
   receiver/barrel assembly has a fully adjustable rear sight and a
   compensator which helps keep the muzzle down 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.
   
   Background: The M16A2 rifle is a product improvement of the M16A1
   rifle. The improvements are:
   * a heavier, stiffer barrel than the barrel of the M16A1;
   * a redesigned handguard, using two identical halves, with a round
   contour which is sturdier and provides a better grip when holding the
   rifle;
   * a new buttstock and pistol grip made of a tougher injection moldable
   plastic that provides much greater resistance to breakage;
   * an improved rear sight which can be easily adjusted for windage and
   range;
   * a modified upper receiver design to deflect ejected cartridges, and
   preclude the possibility of the ejected cartridges hitting the face of
   a left-handed firer;
   * a burst control device, that limits the number of rounds fired in
   the automatic mode to three per trigger pull, which increases accuracy
   while reducing ammunition expenditure;
   * a muzzle compensator, designed to reduce position disclosure and
   improve controllability and accuracy in both burst and rapid
   semi-automatic fire;
   * a heavier barrel with a 1 in 7 twist to fire NATO standard SS 109
   type (M855) ammunition which is also fired from the M249 Squad
   Automatic Weapon (SAW). This further increases the effective range and
   penetration of the rifle cartridge. The M16A2 will also shoot the
   older M193 ammunition designed for a 1 in 12 twist.




   
    Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), M249 Light Machine Gun
    
   Primary function: Hand-held combat machine gun
   Manufacturer: Fabrique Nationale Manufacturing, Inc.
   Length: 40.87 inches (103.81 centimeters)
   Weight:
   With bipod and tools: 15.16 pounds (6.88 kilograms)
   200-round box magazine: 6.92 pounds (3.14 kilograms)
   30-round magazine: 1.07 pounds (.49 kilograms)
   Bore diameter: 5.56mm (.233 inches)
   Maximum effective range: 3281 feet (1000 meters) for an area target
   Maximum range: 2.23 miles (3.6 kilometers)
   Rates of fire:
   Cyclic: 725 rounds per minute
   Sustained: 85 rounds per minute
   Unit Replacement Cost: $4,087
   
   Features: The Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), or 5.56mm M249 is an
   individually portable, gas operated, magazine or disintegrating
   metallic link-belt fed, light machine gun with fixed headspace and
   quick change barrel feature. The M249 engages point targets out to 800
   meters, firing the improved NATO standard 5.56mm cartridge.
   The SAW forms the basis of firepower for the fire team. The gunner has
   the option of using 30-round M16 magazines or linked ammunition from
   pre-loaded 200-round plastic magazines. The gunner's basic load is 600
   rounds of linked ammunition.
   
   Background: The SAW was developed through an initially Army-led
   research and development effort and eventually a Joint NDO program in
   the late 1970s/early 1980s to restore sustained and accurate automatic
   weapons fire to the fire team and squad. When actually fielded in the
   mid-1980s, the SAW was issued as a one-for-one replacement for the
   designated "automatic rifle" (M16A1) in the Fire Team. In this regard,
   the SAW filled the void created by the retirement of the Browning
   Automatic Rifle (BAR) during the 1950s because interim automatic
   weapons (e.g. M-14E2/M16A1) had failed as viable "base of fire"
   weapons. Early in the SAW's fielding, the Army identified the need for
   a Product Improvement Program (PIP) to enhance the weapon. This effort
   resulted in a "PIP kit" which modifies the barrel, handguard, stock,
   pistol grip, buffer, and sights.
