The following weapons were used in the film The Stuff:

The Stuff (1985)

Handguns

Smith & Wesson Model 19

A Stuff-possessed state trooper (Jery Hewitt) who pulls the main characters over on the highway, impeding their escape, and attempts to arrest them by pulling a Smith & Wesson Model 19 which is difficult to see since the scene is filmed at night.

Smith & Wesson Model 57

When the militia storm the factory, the gate guard (Harvey Waldman) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 57 to shoot one of Colonel Spears' men who was disguised as a trucker before he himself is killed by Spears.

...albeit too late as he is cut down by Colonel Spears' Thompson.

Walther P38

When confronting Fletcher and another businessman, Evans, at the end of the film, Rutherford pulls a Walther P38 on them. He uses it to force them to eat the Stuff as punishment for unleashing it on the world.

Submachine Guns

Thompson Submachine Gun

The militia headed by the slightly unbent Colonel Spears (Paul Sorvino) all carry Thompson Submachine Guns. They have the classic foregrip but with standard magazines and are all stockless.

Rifles

MGC Replica M16

A few of the militia wield MGC Replica M16's as well. As well, inside Spears' house there are a pair of "crisscrossed" mounted M16's on display, as one would display swords.
