The following weapons were used in the film Top Secret!:
Handguns

totally in his reach.

Nigel uses a Colt SAA during the firefight in the hideout.
Colt Single Action Army w/ 4.75" barrel, custom engraved with ivory - .32-20 Winchester
Nigel, holding a silver pearl-handled SAA, takes up position near a mostly-broken window.
In an obvious satire of old B-Movie westerns and gangster movies, Nigel goes for the one
unbroken window, smashes it with his revolver and shoots through that.
(In reality smashing ALL of the panes allows you one less obstruction to a target and keeps the enemy's fire from hurling glass shards at you when their fire smashes the pane.)Charter Arms Undercover
Déjà Vu (Jim Carter) tries to break a window using an early Charter Arms Undercover, only for the barrel to bend. It appears as if a easily bendable tube to the end of the revolver, allowing the barrel to "bend".
Early Model Stainless Charter Arms Undercover - .38 Special
Déjà Vu (
Jim Carter) confusedly looks at his now unusable revolver.
Submachine Guns
M1928 Thompson
Chocolate Mousse's (Eddie Tagoe) weapon is an M1928 Thompson. During one scene, Chocolate Mousse "loads" his weapon like a musket, even pouring gunpowder and using a ramrod.
M1928 "Tommy Gun" - .45 ACP
Chocolate Mousse loads his Thompson in a...most unusual way.
Chocolate Mousse blasts away at the East Germans.
MP40
The MP40 is seen quite frequently in the hands of the East Germans and the French Resistance.

Deja Vu uses an M1 Garand. Also, in when the East Germans attack the Resistance headquarters, a German soldier, for some reason, is using an M1 Garand.

Raiders of the Lost Ark).
Another view of the MG34 as the German driver loses control of the vehicle.
The soldier in back continues firing the MG34 even as the car heads wildly out of control and right into a Ford Pinto.
