Submachine Guns

Haenel-Schmeisser MP28/II

A Haenel-Schmeisser MP28/II submachine gun is seen in the hands of one pirate. The appearance of the MP28 seems to be correct since the movie's plot takes place in the late 1920s (1929 to be precise if you look at Porco's "Mare Blu Cinema" magazine at the beginning).

Rifles

Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III*

A pair of Air Pirates carry Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III* rifles which have many characteristics from Miyazaki's 1986 movie Castle in the Sky. The SMLEs are equipped with Lee-Enfield No. 4 muzzles and (sometimes) with Lange Visier rear sights from Gewehr 1898.

Aircraft Machine Guns

Custom Maxim lMG 08

Porco purchases an Aircraft Pattern MG08 Maxim with a custom barrel jacket for his red Savoia S.21 lane in the Milan gunshop. He is offered some special armor-piercing rounds for it, what he refused.

Aircraft cannon

A large cannon that appears to be a very chunkily-rendered Solothurn S-18 20mm Anti-Tank Rifle given the stock, sight and side-loading, appears mounted on one of the pirates' planes. It loads using some kind of stripper clip arrangement rather than its usual box magazine, and the barrel and rounds are scaled up to the point it resembles a small tank gun.
