What weapons do they use to shoot them down? Guns? Missiles?

Probably the aim-120B or C variant. Though it might make more sense to use a cheaper missile like the aim-9 or aim-7. as a cruise missile isn't maneuvering .

Either AMRAAMs or sidewinders, depending on distance and direction.

Looks like it's a very cost effective counter as well. The F16 missiles cost less than the cruise missiles
