The soldier riding in back wields the MG34 (trivia: this is the same mockup of a Mercedes-Benz G5 used in
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.
Miscellaneous Shotguns
During the "Skeet Surfin'" scene near the beginning of the movie, the surfers can be seen with a variety of shotguns.
Unknown automatics
Numerous automatic pistols are used throughout the film.
Nick fires out the window. Possibly a Sig P210?

Du Quois, holding a gun, alerts the others to the presence of a German grenade.
Unknown revolvers
Nigel, holding a silver pearl-handled revolver, takes up position near a mostly-broken window.
For reasons best known to himself, instead of firing out one of the already-smashed panes, Nigel uses his revolver to break the one pane
not already broken, and shoots through
that.
Déjà Vu (
Jim Carter) tries to break a window using a revolver, only for the barrel to bend.
Cannon
Chocolate Mousse (Eddie Tagoe) uses a muzzle-loading field cannon during the attack on the French Resistance's headquarters.
