The Octagon is a 1980 action movie directed by Eric Karson starring Chuck Norris as a martial artist Scott James who must stop a group of terrorists trained in the ninja style by his half-brother Seikura (Tadashi Yamashita).
The following weapons are seen in the movie The Octagon:
Handguns
M1911
The French police officer (J. Ross Imler) used an M1911-style pistol to shoot a terrorist during the shootout in Paris. The driver-bodyguard also has a M1911-style pistol.
Colt Detective Special 3rd Gen
A Colt Detective Special 3rd Gen revolver is used by the female bodyguard (Janell Twomey) during the terrorist attack in Paris. In another scene during the night shootout between McCarn's and Doggo's men "Hatband" (Aaron Norris) is armed with a suppressed Colt DS 3rd Gen.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
During the night shootout one of Doggo's men is armed with a suppressed Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolver.
Unidentified Pistols
During the night shootout McCarn's men use various suppressed pistols. They are never seen well enough to be identified.
Submachine guns
MP40
MP40 is seen in hands of one of the truck drivers in the opening scene.
Madsen M50
Madsen M50 with an unusual (possibly fake) barrel shroud is used by female terrorist (Janette Jiliano) in Paris. It's hard to say what the shroud's purpose is; it may have been meant as a suppressor, but the audio indicates otherwise.
MAC-10
MAC-10 is used by male terrorist (Benjamin J. Perry) (disguised as woman) in Paris. Aura (Carol Bagdasarian) has MAC-10 in the scene in hotel.
Rifles
M16A1
M16A1 assault rifles are used by McCarn's (Lee Van Cleef) men. In the final scene M16 is Aura's (Carol Bagdasarian) weapon. Some of these M16s can be identified as non firing replicas.
AK-47
The guards in Doggo's (Kurt Grayson) headquarters are armed with AKs of unknown model. These guns are seen too briefly and too far to be identified. According to the time of filming, it's most likely a Chinese version.
McCarn rifles
In McCarn's (Lee Van Cleef) apartments a rack with several rifles and/or shotguns is seen.
