Corrected entry: In the scene with the *army?* fighting the main monster, there are a few military mistakes. The M16/m4 that they are using would not be loaded with tracer rounds, which are expensive to supply and would have been reserved for an M249 SAW because of its rapid fire and inaccuracy. Also, I believe the rocket launchers used were FGM-148 Javelin rockets. These would have been propelled out of the tube, ascend several thousand feet, and then descend onto the target. In the movie, it went directly at the monster. Even if it was not the Javelin rocket, there was not enough exhaust flare coming from the tube to be a real rocket.
Correction: The Javelin missile has a direct-fire mode for use against fortifications. The top-down approach is designed for use against armoured vehicles with relatively thin top armour; as this is obviously a rather different situation, there's no reason not to take the direct-fire approach. And if, say, they've run out of ordinary ammunition, there's no inherent reason not to use the tracer ammunition; if it's either that or nothing, cost hardly becomes a consideration.
