A Mauser Karabiner 98k is seen in several scenes in the film - an anachronism as the 98K was not introduced until 1935, and the film is set in 1920-1922. It is possible that the armorer did not have access to enough First World War Mausers.
The Webley .455 Mk VI is the most commonly seen revolver in the film, carried by British officers, Black and Tans, Auxiliaries and several IRA members including Teddy (Padraic Delaney).
Colt New Service is carried by some IRA members - it's impossible to tell from the film, but it is most likely a British army-issued revolver in .455 Webley.
The Mauser Broomhandle can be seen in several scenes used by IRA members - the Mauser was a popular sidearm among IRA members, who referred to it as the "Peter the Painter automatic", after a famous anarchist who allegedly carried one.
