The following guns were used in this film:
Lee Enfield SMLE No. 1 Mk. III
The standard infantry rifle of the British troops, Black & Tans, Auxiliaries and later the Free State's National Army. It is also the most commonly used rifle by the IRA.

Mauser C96 Broomhandle
The Broomhandle Mauser can be seen in several scenes used by IRA members
Vickers machine gun
Mauser Gewehr 98
A common misconception is that the rifles landed in Howth for the Irish Volunteers in 1913 were the Mauser Gewahr 98. It was in fact the long obsolete Mauser 1871 single shot bolt-action rifle. However the Gewhar 98 (or G98) is featured most prominently in the hands of Teddy Boy.
Mauser Kar 98a
Damien (Cillian Murphy) carries a Mauser Kar 98a throughout the film.
