M1928 Thompson

The M1928 Thompson appears numerous times throughout the film used by various members of the crew of the S.S. Venture during the mission to rescue Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts). The Thompsons seen in the film have the classic 'gangster' configuration; vertical foregrips, flash suppressors, charging handle on the top, and high-capacity drum magazines.

Mauser Gewehr 1898

Another weapon used by the crew of the Venture is the German-made Mauser Gewehr 1898 bolt-action rifle. Though firing a more powerful round, they tend to be less effective in the film overall than the rapid-fire Thompsons (possibly due to the Gew 98's straight bolt handle (which slows down reload time) and five-round magazine.

M1911A1

The second mate of the Venture, Ben Hayes (Evan Parke) carries an M1911A1 pistol during the mission to rescue Ann. He's most notably seen chambering it just before being killed by Kong.

Artillery Luger P08

The skipper of the S.S. Venture, Captain Englehorn (Thomas Kretschmann) is seen using a long-barelled Artillery model Luger P08 pistol, shooting a Skull Island native with it just as the native is about to kill Carl Denham (Jack Black).

Lewis Gun

During the climax of the movie, the biplanes that attack Kong on the Empire State Building are fitted with Lewis guns for the observer/tail gunner. The version used on the biplanes are air-cooled and lack the thick, water-filled sleeve around the barrel.
