WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
The following weapons were used in the film Top Gun: Maverick:
DShK machine gun
A logistical truck used by enemy forces is seen with what appears to be a DShK machine gun mounted.
Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30
The enemy "Fifth Generation Fighters" (Sukhoi Su-57s, NATO-named as the "Felon") are equipped with Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30 autocannons.
M61A2 Vulcan
The M61A2 Vulcan appears as the secondary armament of the F/A-18E and F/A-18F Super Hornets flown in the film. The M61A2 is a lightweight version of the original M61, with thinner barrels and lighter materials originally developed for the F-22 Raptor and used by the F-22 and F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. An F-14 Tomcat with an internally-mounted M61A1 Vulcan also is briefly seen. A legacy F/A-18C Hornet is also seen at the Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor (TOPGUN) school.
M16A4
A USMC honor guard detail performs a rifle volley with M16A4 rifles during a funeral. The rifles have the original detachable carry handle rear sights and KAC M5 railed handguards with rail covers.
Yakushev-Borzov Yak-B
A Mil Mi-24 "Hind" used by the opposing forces is armed with two Yakushev-Borzov Yak-B rotary cannons in mounted in its nose turret. In reality, only a single Yak-B is mounted on Mi-24s that have the nose turret - this appears to be an intentional artistic liberty taken by the filmmakers.
