I will put in screencaps eventually, but currently I do not have time to do so. -Run its a T-55

M16A1

The United States soldiers seen during Emmett Fitz-Hume (Chevy Chase) and Austin Millbarge's (Dan Aykroyd) training are carrying M16A1's. Also, M16's are one of the many rifles used by the Mujahideen.

M1 Carbine

Several of the Mujahideen are seen wielding M1 Carbines.

World War Two Era M1 Carbine, with Dark Walnut Stock, 'L' peep sight and no bayonet lug - correct for most of WW2, shown with khaki sling and oiler and a period twin magazine pouch for buttstock

"Kalashnikov"

AK-47's can be seen in the hands of the Soviet soldiers escorting the SS-50 rocket at the beginning of the film. Oddly enough, they are seen using Chinese Type-56's at the end of the film. Also, some of the Mujahideen are carrying AK-47's/Type-56's. (As the film is based around 1985, the Soviets should be using AK-74's, but since at this point in time the AK-74 was not found largely outside of the Soviet Union, the older guns are the only other choice.)

AK-47 - 7.62x39mm

Norinco Type 56 (Imported into the U.S. as the Norinco AKS-47 or AKS-47 Sporter) - 7.62x39mm

Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE)

Several of the Mujahideen can be seen using Lee-Enfield's, and later the rifle is seen in the hands of the Turkish soldiers at the guard post.

Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III* - .303 British.

Sterling SMG

Some of the Mujahideen, (most notably the unlucky one who is swept off the Ambulance by a tree branch), are using Sterling submachine guns.

Sterling Submachine Gun - 9mm

MAC-10

The "GLG-20's" Jerry Hadley (Charles McKeown) and Karen Boyer (Donna Dixon) use MAC-10's when Soviet troops discover the spies while infiltrating the Soviet Union. Austin later uses one in his corageous attempt to rescue Emmett from the Soviet border guards.

Ingram MAC 10 submachine gun - .45 ACP.

Tokarev TT-33

The Soviet KGB Agents are seen using Tokarev TT-33 pistols after Emmett and Austin discover their contacts' true loyalties while in Pakistan. The agents are also seen using the pistols later at the highway patrol office. They should, however, be using Makarovs.

Tokarev TT-33 - 7.62x25mm Tokarev.

M1911

During Emmett and Austin's training, Colonel Rhombus (Bernie Casey) fires an M1911 at their feet to pursuade them to jump into the mud pit.

Colt M1911A1 Pistol - .45 ACP.

RPG-7

Some of the Mujahideen are seen carrying RPG-7s.

RPG-7 70mm

Uknown M16 Variant

The guards at the abandoned outdoor theater are using an M16 variant. Most likely a carbine variant.
