Since Season 2's setting takes place in 1984, the Bushmaster HBAR itself and attachments equipped are anachronistic as they weren't introduced until the 1990s to 2000s. The Bushmaster HBARs are fitted with Knight's Armament Company quad picatinny rail handguards with rail covers, buffer tube sling loops and M4 LE stocks. Hopper notably keeps the rifle set to semi-auto at all times (which is correct as the Bushmaster HBAR is semi-automatic only in real life) and demonstrates familiarity with the weapon, reflecting his past Vietnam War service. In "Chapter Eight: The Mind Flayer" (S2E08), Hawkins Police Chief Jim Hopper ( David Harbour) arms himself with a Bushmaster Carbine taken from the deceased MP, which he later takes with him in the Season finale "Chapter Nine: The Gate" (S2E09). The Heckler & Koch MP5K, with the anachronistic side folding stock, is seen carried by military police officers at the Hawkins National Laboratory in "Chapter Four: Will The Wise" (S2E04).
