-During the attack on his home that results in Jenny's ([[Alyssa Milano]]) kidnapping, John Matrix ([[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]) retrieves a [[Heckler & Koch G3|Heckler & Koch HK91]]  from his tool shed to fend off the attackers.  Since the receiver has only two fire positions (Safe and Fire) it is the semi automatic HK91 rather than the select fire G3.

-==M16==
+==Desert Eagle Mark I==
-The original [[M16]] (also known as the Colt SP1 rifle) is used, as denoted by the slab side upper receiver (minus a bolt assist).  The three pronged flash hider, however, is replaced with a standard A1 birdcage flash hider in many of the rifles.

-==M16 with A2 handguards==
+==Colt Combat Commander Series 70==
-South American police are seen with [[M16]] (Colt SP1) rifles outfitted with A2 handguards to look like [[M16#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]]. Kirby's men at the end of the film are also seen with these rifles.
+Major General Franklin Kirby ([[James Olson]]) carries a [[Colt Commander|Colt Combat Commander Series 70]] in his holster when Matrix surprises him and pulls the gun out and points it at him.

-==MGC M16 aka 'Replica M16s'==
+==ASP==
-Obvious because the [[M16#Non Firing Replicas of the M16 Rifle|MGC M16]] (Model Gun Corp of Japan) metal M16 replicas have three pronged flash hiders, but they are mounted '''upside down''' and their 20 round magazines are blued, not Colt anodyzed gray.   Used by every soldier/combatant carrying an M16 when they are doing stunts or pointing the muzzle directing at someone without firing.  The replicas were probably used so extensively for safety purposes.
+Sully ([[David Patrick Kelly]]) wields an [[ASP]] as his sidearm.

-==M16A1==
+==Colt M1911A1==
-There are numerous appearances of [[M16 rifle series#M16A1 Rifle|M16A1]] rifles in the film; used by U.S. military personnel as well as some of Arius' ([[Dan Hedaya]]) men, one of which Matrix commandeers and uses as well. Most of the M16 rifles seen have 20 round magazines, but some have 30 round magazines.  Throughout the final battle, the rifles in the hands of actors and stuntmen change from original M16 (SP1) rifles to M16A1 rifles and back again.
+Some of Arius' men use [[Colt M1911A1]]s as their sidearms.

-==CAR-15==
+==Detonics ScoreMaster==
-General Kirby's men, who are assigned to protect Matrix and his daughter, but end up killed themselves are armed with [[M16#Colt XM177/CAR-15/Commando Series|CAR-15]] carbines.  '''Not''' XM177s/Colt Commandos, they look to be commercial CAR-15 clones due to the length and shape of their 'fake' XM177 suppressor/flash hider.
+A [[Detonics ScoreMaster]] is the sidearm carried by Bennett ([[Vernon Wells]]). During the final showdown with Matrix, Bennett shoots him in the arm with this pistol.

-==Ruger Mini-14 GB==
+==Detonics CombatMaster==
-Arius' men use [[Ruger Mini-14|Ruger Mini-14 GB]]s with factory folding stocks.  Several of them are seen firing at Matrix and a few are seen dying with their Ruger Rifles.  Some are stainless steel models, others are blued models.
+In Matrix's own weapons shed, a [[Detonics CombatMaster]] can be seen on a wall rack.

-==Heckler & Koch HK94 (chopped & converted)==
+=Revolvers=
-One of Arius' men is seen firing a [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch HK94|Heckler & Koch HK94]] with the 16" barrel chopped down and converted to full auto to resemble an MP5A3. The only featture seen to note this is the lack of the three barrel lugs on the barrel.

-One of the weapons used by Matrix during the assault on Arius' base, the [[Valmet M78]] is a Finnish light machine gun similar in appearance to the [[RPK light machine gun|RPK]], the main difference being a different muzzle brake, front sight assembly, and many other structural differences.  The [[Valmet M78]] Light Machine Gun has a standard RPK 'style' buttstock.  The later [[Valmet M78#Valmet M78|Valmet M78/83]] has a synthetic thumbhole "Dragunov Style" stock.  This is the version used in the film. The Valmet M78 series of Light Machine guns came in 7.62x51mm (.308) and 7.62x39mm calibers.

-Another weapon used by Matrix during the final assault, the [[M202 FLASH|M202A1 FLASH]] is the 4-barreled rocket launcher first seen being used by Cindy ([[Rae Dawn Chong]]) to flip the police van carrying Matrix after he's arrested raiding a sporting goods store for supplies.
+==Uzi Pistol==

+==Heckler & Koch HK94 (chopped & converted)==
-The [[MAC-10]] submachine gun can be seen being used by assassins in the beginning of the movie, killing members of Matrix's old special forces unit.
+One of Arius' men is seen firing a [[Heckler & Koch HK94A3]] with the 16" barrel chopped down and converted to full-auto to resemble an [[Heckler & Koch MP5A3|MP5A3]]. The only feature seen to note this is the lack of the three barrel lugs on the barrel.

-==Remington 870==
+=Rifles=
-A [[Remington 870]] shotgun is used by Matrix during the final raid on Arius' compound. The gun has a long barrel and a high-capacity magazine tube.  However, in the film, the shotgun actually changes (continuity error) several times in the sequence, sometimes the foregrip looks different and the sling changes from being slung over the barrel to over the magazine tube.  Since the movie had many continuity errors with the other guns, it makes being 100% sure of the shotgun type difficult.

+During the attack on his home that results in the kidnapping of his daughter Jenny ([[Alyssa Milano]]), John Matrix ([[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]) retrieves a [[Heckler & Koch HK91]] from the armory in his tool shed to fend off the attackers. Since the receiver has only two fire positions (Safe and Fire), it is the semi-automatic HK91 rather than the select-fire G3.

-==Steyr AUG==
+==M16A1==
-A [[Steyr AUG]] is seen on the wall of the hidden arms room in the 'surplus store', but never used.  Seen again, during the final raid on Arius' compound, Arius attempts to take out Matrix using a  [[Steyr AUG]] bullpup rifle, but ultimately fails and ends up among Matrix's body count.
+There are numerous appearances of [[M16A1]] rifles in the film; used by U.S. military personnel as well as some of Arius' ([[Dan Hedaya]]) men, one of which Matrix commandeers and uses as well. Most of the M16 rifles seen have 20-round magazines, but some have 30-round magazines. Throughout the final battle, the rifles in the hands of actors and stuntmen change from original M16 (SP1) rifles to M16A1 rifles and back again.

-==AKM==
+==M16/SP1==
-Throughout the film, some of Arius' men are seen using [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]]s.
+The original [[M16 Rifle]] (also known as the Colt SP1 rifle) is used, as denoted by the 'slab side' upper receiver (minus the forward assist). The three-pronged flash-hider, however, is replaced with an A1 birdcage flash-hider in many of the rifles.

-==M67 hand grenade==
+==MGC M16==
+[[MGC M16]] metal replicas are used by every soldier/combatant carrying an M16 when they are doing stunts or pointing the muzzle directing at someone without firing. The MGC replicas can be differentiated from the actual M16s as the replicas have three-pronged flash-hiders (however they are mounted '''upside down''') and their 20-round magazines are blued, not Colt anodized gray. The replicas were probably used so extensively for safety purposes.
+[[Image:MGC16.jpg|thumb|none|450px|MGC M16]]

-Yet another weapon used by Matrix is several [[M67 hand grenade]]s. Some are also used by Arius' men during the final battle.
+==CAR-15==
-[[Image:M67.jpg|thumb|none|300px|M67 HE-Frag hand grenade]]
+General Kirby's men, who are assigned to protect Matrix and his daughter, are armed with [[CAR-15]] carbines. '''Not''' XM177s/Colt Commandos, they look to be commercial CAR-15 clones due to the length and shape of their 'fake' XM177 suppressor/flash-hider.
-[[Image:CommandoM67grenade-1.jpg|thumb|none|550px|Matrix picks up M67 hand grenades in the armory.]]

-==Desert Eagle==
+==Ruger Mini-14 GB==
-*Another weapon Matrix uses during the final battle is a chrome [[Desert Eagle]] chambered in .357 or .44 being that the film was shot in 1984 and released in 1985.
+Arius' men use [[Ruger Mini-14|Ruger Mini-14 GB]]s with factory folding stocks. Several of them are seen firing at Matrix and a few are seen dying with their Ruger rifles. Some are stainless steel models, others are blued models.

-==Franchi SPAS-12==
+==Steyr AUG==
-Another weapon seen being carried by Arius' men, but not used in combat is the [[Franchi SPAS-12]].
+A [[Steyr AUG]] is first seen on the wall of the hidden armory in the 'surplus store' and is among the weapons carted out by Cindy, but never used by Matrix. During the raid on the compound, Arius ([[Dan Hedaya]]) attempts to take out Matrix using a Steyr AUG bullpup rifle. Both are likely the same prop rifle.

-==M1911A1==

-Some of Arius' men use [[M1911A1]]s as their sidearms.
+Throughout the film, some of Arius' men are seen using [[AKM]]s.

-==M60E3 machine gun==
+=Shotguns=
-The [[M60 machine gun#M60E3 Machine Gun|M60E3 machine gun]] first appears being used by one of Arius' men, and is commandeered and used by Matrix. The M60E3 used in the film had a shorter barrel, several inches shorter than the standard M60E3.
+==Remington 870 (customized with LPC sight)==
+A [[Remington 870]] shotgun is used by Matrix during the raid on Arius' compound. The gun has a long barrel with a specialized under-barrel laser sight that is often confused with an extended magazine tube. However, in the film, the shotgun actually changes (continuity error) several times in the sequence, sometimes the forend looks different and the sling changes from being slung over the barrel to over the magazine tube. Since the film had many continuity errors with the other guns, it makes being 100% sure of the shotgun type difficult.
-[[Image:USOM60E3.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M60E3 machine gun - 7.62x51mm]]
+The laser sight is specifically made for the Remington 870 shotgun by the Laser Products Corporation (later Surefire). This is the same type of laser sight used in ''[[Terminator, The (1984)|The Terminator]]'' and ''[[Wanted: Dead or Alive (1987)|Wanted: Dead or Alive]]''. The laser sight is easily distinguished by the proprietary LPC "clamp" as well as the actual sight's "bell-shaped" end.

+=Machine Guns=
+==Valmet M78/83==
+One of the weapons used by Matrix during the assault on Arius' base, the [[Valmet M78]] is a Finnish light machine gun similar in appearance to the [[RPK]], the main difference being a different muzzle brake, front sight assembly, and many other structural differences. The Valmet M78 light machine gun has a standard "RPK style" buttstock. The later [[Valmet M78/83]] has a synthetic thumbhole "Dragunov style" stock. This is the model used in the film. The Valmet M78 series of light machine guns came in 7.62x51mm (.308) and 7.62x39mm calibers.

+==M60E3==
+The [[M60_machine_gun#M60E3_Machine_Gun|M60E3 machine gun]] first appears as one of the weapons in the armory hidden in the surplus store. Matrix attempts to take one before he's apprehended by the police. The M60E3 later is used by one of Arius' men on a tool shed and then is commandeered and used by Matrix. The M60E3 used in the film had a shorter barrel, several inches shorter than the standard M60E3.

+Another weapon used by Matrix during the final battle, the [[M202 FLASH]] is the 4-barreled rocket launcher first seen being used by Cindy ([[Rae Dawn Chong]]) to flip the police van carrying Matrix after he's arrested for raiding a sporting goods store for supplies - apparently she decided the best way to rescue him was to blow up the vehicle he was riding in. The weapon in the film is a boxy prop replica rather than a real M202: due to the film being one of the most well-known depictions of an M202, a number of other non live-action works contain M202s based on this prop rather than the real weapon.

-Just before starting the final battle, Matrix plants several [[M18A1 Claymore]] anti-personnel mines on the grounds of the complex, and triggers it remotely during the battle.  Though the M18A1 Claymore is an antipersonnel mine, the ones in the film are strong enough to vaporize an entire building, indicative of the 'exaggeration' of Hollywood movies.  The M18A1 Claymore mines are not real (of course NONE are real in movies), however the ones in this film are even more 'customized' than usual.  They are plastic casts of the M18A1 and fabricated to take an internal Radio receiver (and custom detonator).  The Real M18A1 would be a self enclosed unit, two plastic halves enclosing the explosive and steel balls (shrapnel), and would not have room to add on an internal radio unit.

-One of the men inside the bar in the mall tries to shoot at the police with a [[Smith & Wesson Model 60]] but is gunned down before he can get off a shot.
+During the assault on Arius' compound, Matrix also carries several [[M67 hand grenade]]s. He is seen tying these to his vest by the pin, presumably to be able to pull the pin and toss them with one hand. This is a very bad way to carry grenades and anyone with basic military training will agree, this is NOT how to carry them. When carried by the pin, several safety hazards are present. One of Arius' men tosses a grenade at Matrix during the final battle, sending Matrix flying through the air.
