Probaby used a .50 cal on them, maybe M16, the .50 would have killed them all real quick

Depends on your definition of light, but all carry rifles, often M-14s, most carry .50 M-2, these carry the Mk-38/Bushmaster 25 mm cannon. I don't think we could cal the 5" gun a "small arm", but the old dudes off the Iowa class BBs probaby would. :) They are also armed with torpedoes, as well as their primary armament, the guided missiles.
