What a fun game!Garand:
I'll guess that the photo shows a M2 carbine, a select-fire modification with enlarged, 30-round magazine, and a M16 Bayonet Knife.
...that's my final answer.

NOT Garand
As others have mentioned, M1 Carbine
Corporal
Upon further research, it looks like it is specifically a M7 bayonet knife.
"The M4 bayonet formed the basis for the later M6 and M7 bayonet-knives."

Geeez a thirty round magazine? I thought the largest capasity magazine the US military had was for twenty rounds?? Well thats what I get for thinking, after all we did create Flash Gordon and Star Wars and the cowboys thousand shot revolver! Need to get out to the movies more must be out of touch again!

The standard magazine for an M-16 is 30 rounds, . .has been for 20 years. Anymore about the only time you see a 20 round magazine is at the firing range. The US military experimented with larger magazines, but found that there would either be too much spring tension when they were fully loaded, or not enough when they were close to empty, . .either way causing feed problems. . .
Binford, you forgot one other type of clip in relation to ammunition, . .the "strip-clip" that holds belt-fed ammunition together that is separated by the action of the machine gun, . ..

I'd vote it's an M2 carbine. Prolly an M7 bayonet, it's not an M8A1 (M16) as someone mentioned.
Anyone have a good pic of an M16A1 (or earlier version M16) in either mount?
