The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)

The weapons seen in this movie are:

M1911A1

Soldiers draw M1911A1 pistols when confronting Klaatu. A tank crewman uses one to shoot Klaatu.

M1911A1 - .45 ACP.

The clearly nervous tanker keeps his M1911 trained on Klaatu.

The tanker fires reflexively when Klaatu draws a "weapon" (later revealed to be a peace offering).

Other soldiers with their M1911's drawn in response to Gort's sudden appearance.

M1 Carbine

Soldiers are armed with M1 Carbines. Gort famously melts these rifles from the soldiers' hands to show that he has come to bring peace.

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 Magazine pouch for buttstock

Soldiers aim their M1 Carbines at the landed spaceship.

Gort, in response to Klaatu's wounding, fires a laser beam from his eye-visor that strikes the soldiers' weapons.

The soldiers stare down in shock as their M1 Carbines disintegrate. (They don't, although a severely peeved Gort does later completely disintegrate two unfortunate guards.)

Browning M1917 Machine Gun

Soldiers are seen manning a Browning M1917 machine gun.

M2HB Browning Machine Gun

Browning M2HB machine guns are mounted on many Army vehicles, most notably some of the Jeeps that pursue Klaatu's taxi cab through the city.
