The following weapons were used in the film Escape from the Planet of the Apes:
WARNING! POSSIBLE SPOILERS!
M1 Carbine
Several of the US Marines who meet the astronauts on the beach are armed with the M1 Carbine.
Fake M14 Rifles
Several of the US Marines who meet the astronauts on the beach are also armed faux M14 rifles, which were built up from stock M1 Garand rifles, with an M14 style flash hider added, a fake box magazine and the addition of a faux M14 top handguard on top of the Garand wooden handguard. As a trivia note: the Marines are all dressed anachronistically. They wear the Pacific theater helmet cover from WWII, Khaki M23 ten pocket ammo belts (for a Garand) and ARMY(!) style O.D. Green fatigues (the USMC style looked different and had the globe & anchor beneath the left pocket).
Smith & Wesson Model 10
A Smith & Wesson Model 10 is held by Dr. Otto Hasslein (Eric Braeden).
Colt Detective Special
Cornelius (Roddy McDowall) is seen with a Colt Detective Special near the end of the film.
