==[[AK-47]]==
Soldiers at the Mwanzaa Airport carry either Russian AK-47 rifles or Poly Tech Legend AK-47 Rifles.  They are the classic AK design without the Chinese Type 56 Style hood.

==Norinco Type 56 rifle==
Junta soldiers prior to their entry into Tanzania (and then into Zaire) also carry Chinese Norinco Type 56 rifles - the Chinese AK47 copy.

==MAC-10 submachine gun==
In addition to his M14 rifle, Kahega ([[Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje]]) also carries and uses a MAC-10 Submachine gun.

==AR15 Patriot Pistol==
 
A short AR15 full auto pistol (probably a Patriot Pistol) is seen being loaded by Kelly's men prior to the night battle and Dr. Karen Ross ([[Laura Linney]]) ends up using it during the fight.  The pistol is built up from a Patriot barreled Upper receiver on a full auto Colt XM lower (possibly a Model 614 Export version), which has a partial magazine fence as opposed to the "slab side" receiver found on the SP1 Sporter.  Rather than use the short buffer tube on most AR15 pistol variants, the armorers simply removed the XM177 style buttstock from the standard Carbine Buffer tube and kept it on the firearm.  The finishes are noticeable different from the Patriot upper receiver and the Colt Lower receiver.
[[Image:Congo-ARPistolA.jpg|thumb|none|500px|AR Patriot Pistol being loaded (note the Colt XM partial-fence lower receiver) - 5.56mm]]
[[Image:Congo-ARPistol2A.jpg|thumb|none|500px|AR Patriot Pistol charging handle being racked, note that it is built on an XM16 partial-fence lower and has only a 20 round magazine - 5.56mm]]
[[Image:Congo-AR-PistolsFiresA.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Dr. Karen Ross ([[Laura Linney]]) fires her Patriot Pistol - 5.56mm.  The buffer tube is simply the Colt Carbine buffer tube devoid of the buttstock and not the short buffer tubes provided on guns like the Patriot or other AR15 pistol variants.]]
 
==Luger P08 handgun==
A Luger P08 Handgun is carried and fired by Dr. Peter Elliot ([[Dylan Walsh]]).
[[Image:P08Luger1917.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Luger P08 9mm]]

==Uzi Submachine gun== 
Dr. Karen Ross ([[Laura Linney]]) carries and uses an Uzi Submachine gun during the final battle.  The Uzi is later used by Dr. Peter Elliot ([[Dylan Walsh]]).
[[Image:Uzi.jpg|thumb|none|400px|IMI Uzi 9mm]]
[[Image:Congo-UziA.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Dr. Karen Ross ([[Laura Linney]]) fires her Uzi at the attacking Zinj Gorillas - 9mm]]

[[Image:Congo-UziKellyClearsJamA.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Kelly tries to clear Peter's Uzi jam when Peter is grabbed by the Zinj Gorillas - 9mm]]
 
==Unknown Bolt Action Rifle==
I'm leaning towards a Winchester Model 70 without a scope due to the general shape.  A background Kelly man holds a bolt action rifle but never fires it.  Facing a horde of attacking Grey Gorillas one would want an assault rifle at the least.
[[Image:Congo-BoltActionRifleA.jpg|thumb|none|500px|One of Kelly's men holds a bolt action rifle - most likely a Mod 70 - .308 Winchester]]
[[Image:Congo-BoltAction2A.jpg|thumb|none|500px||One of Kelly's men in back holds a bolt action rifle - (Note that his barrel changes length in different shots)  - .308 Winchester]]
 
==Sentry guns==
Similar to the sentry guns used in the director's cut of the film ''[[Aliens]]'', the camp has machine guns with dual drum magazines operating automatically to fire at movement 'out to 40 yards'.  Though the sentry guns in ''[[Aliens]]'' were actually German Spandau [[Maxim LMG 08/15]] machine guns, these are fake acetylene gas firing mockup guns. In the book, they also had sound surpressors, which had to be taken off to scare off the gorillas.

[[Image:Congo-Smartgun2A.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Sentry guns fire during the night battle - the 'flame' of the acetylene gas fire is evident.]]
 
==Stinger Missiles==
