Glock 17

In the beginning of the film, Harry Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger) uses a Glock 17 2nd Generation pistol to shoot the guards pursuing him from the mansion. In the script the gun was classified as a Glock 21 .45 ACP but it was changed to a Glock 17 for the film, likely due to the larger magazine capacity. He was supposed to use the Glock 21 throughout the whole film but he instead uses a [Ruger P90|Ruger KP90]].

Walther PPK

During the bathroom scene, one of the two terrorists who follow Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger) attempts to kill him with a silenced Walther PPK, but thanks to the camera in the fake cigarette package on the bathroom sink, he is able to see the attack coming from his glasses, and avoids the shot, and he then disarms the terrorist using it.

Norinco Type 56-1 shortened

The main villian of the film, Salim Abu Aziz (Art Malik) can often be seen using an Norinco Type 56-1 Shortened carbine with two magazines taped together 'jungle style' as his primary weapon. It appears to have had the barrel professionally shortened to compact status.

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

When Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and several other agents capture Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Simon (Bill Paxton) for interrogation, they are armed with H&K MP5A3's, one of which is used to hit Helen over the head and knock her out when she resists, Harry beating the agent in return for harming his wife.

A Beretta 92FS is seen used by Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger) to interrogate Simon (Bill Paxton). Gibb (Tom Arnold) uses one as well, telling Simon to "Get lost, Dipshit," and fire at his feet.

MAC-10

While fighting their way through the terrorist camp, Harry (Arnold Schwarzenegger) hands Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis) a MAC-10. In one of the film's more humorous scenes, Helen drops the weapon down a flight of stairs causing it to go off when it hits each step, and the stray rounds score several kills.

Mk 2 hand grenade

At one point in the film, Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger) uses a Mk 2 hand grenade to kill several terrorists. For those wondering where this grenade came from, it was originally in the script that Juno put a grenade between Helen's legs, saying all she has to do is keep her legs closed, which Helen remarks is a problem Juno seems to have. When the two escape, he repinned it somehow for use again later. They cut this scene out of the film, causing this grenade's presence to be a continuity error. Another goof is that Tasker is shown being able to pull the pin on the grenade with his teeth, something that would be impossible in real life without suffering significant dental injury.

FIM-92A Stinger

During the highway scene when the Marine Corps Harriers are destroying the trucks the Crimson Jihad and the nukes are traveling in, one of the terrorists attempts to shoot down one of the Harriers with an FIM-92A Stinger, but luckily the pilot avoids the shot, the only casualty being another terrorist who is blown out the windshield of the truck by the backblast before being run over.

M60 machine gun

Near the end of the film when Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger) goes to rescue his daughter Dana (Eliza Dushku) from the terrorists in a Marine Corps Harrier, some terrorists flying by in a helicoter fire a door mounted M60 machine gun modified to use a brass catcher at the aircraft, and shatter the front of the cockpit's windshield while Tasker is trying to grab his daughter as she hangs from a construction crane. The M60 machine gun had the fore end removed and the catch bag mount installed to use the brass catcher on the M60 but retained the standard buttstock and trigger group.
