Corrected entry: The four actors were carrying a mix of Vietnam-era weapons and modern weaponry. Ben Stiller was carrying a modern-day M4 Carbine which was developed in the late 1990's. One of the other actors was carrying an M16-A2 which was developed after the Vietnam war. The other two actors were carrying correct Vietnam era weapons (M60 Machine Gun and M16-A1).

Correction: Being the film is a story "within" the film, these type of mistakes are mistakes by the fictional (careless) filmmakers, not a "real" mistake.
