Big Trouble in Little China

Big Trouble in Little China (1986)

The following guns were used in the movie Big Trouble in Little China

In the opening street fight between the Wing Kong and the Chang Sing various weapons are seen including:

Smith & Wesson Model 19

One of the Wing Kong is seen with two custom Smith & Wesson Model 19 revolvers in cowboy style holsters. The weapons have been gold plated and have ivory grips.

Norinco Type 56

Seen being used by Wing Kong gang members. These are likely Norinco Type 56s given the unique hooded front sights, but feature AKM slant muzzle brakes. Also seen in the hands of Lo Pan's security men during the initial escape from his underground lair.

Norinco AKS-47 (the U.S. Import version of the Type 56 assault rifle) - 7.62x39mm.

Heckler & Koch HK94

One of the Chang Sings uses a Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine gun during the funeral shoot out with the Wing Kong. However, given the very slow rate of fire, it appears that the MP5 was actually a "chopped and converted" HK94 carbine.

Heckler & Koch HK94 chopped and converted to resemble an MP5A3. Note the lack of a paddle magazine release, a lugged barrel, and a push pin set - 9mm.

MAC-10

Yet another machine pistol in the hands of the two opposing gangs during the gang leader's funeral procession.

MAC-10

Uzi

Seen during the opening battle, one of the gang members appears to have a Micro Uzi. But, since he fires only single shots it should be assumed he is armed with an Uzi pistol instead.

Beretta 92SB

Two members of the Chang Sings use the Beretta 92SB pistol in the Chinese standoff with the Wing Kong. It is noted as an SB model by the rounded trigger guard and ambi safety.

Beretta 92SB - 9mm.

Interdynamic KG-9 / Intratec TEC-9

Jack Burton's (Kurt Russell) main weapon during the movie (aside from his Gerber TAC boot knife). Recovered from one of the Wing Kong in Lo Pan's underground dungeon when Jack knocks two of them out when flying back in the wheelchair he's in. Burton acquires the weapon after trading Wang Chi (Dennis Dunn) the Smith & Wesson Model 36 given to him by Wang. Wang then trades the S&W Model 36 to Eddie for the Double Barreled shotgun.

Smith & Wesson Model 29

Presented by Egg Shen to Jack just before the final battle with Lo Pan. When explaining guns will do no good against Lo Pan Egg removes the weapon (which had a 10⅝" barrel which was offered on the Model 29) to Jack saying "Here...this will make you feel better...like Dirty Harry" (the inside joke being that the movie takes place in San Francisco).

Unknown Sawed Off Shotgun

One of the other weapons acquired from the Wing Kong during the escape from Lo Pan's prison.

Smith & Wesson Model 36 "Chiefs Special"

The final "gun trio" from the Lo Pan escape.

Smith and Wesson Model 36 - .38 special - 5 shot
