The following weapons appear in the movie King Kong:
M1 Thompson
The M1 Thompson appears numerous times throughout the film used by various members of the crew of the S.S. Venture during the mission to rescue Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts). The Thompsons seen in the film have the classic 'gangster' configuration; vertical foregrips, flash suppressors, charging handle on the top, and high-capacity drum magazines.
Karabiner 98k
Another weapon used by the crew of the Venture is the German-made Karabiner 98k bolt-action rifle. Though firing a more powerful round, they tend to be less effective in the film overall than the rapid-fire Thompsons.
M1911A1
The second mate of the Venture, Ben Hayes (Evan Parke) carries an M1911A1 pistol during the mission to rescue Ann. He's most notably seen chambering it just before being killed by Kong.
Luger P08
The skipper of the S.S. Venture, Captain Englehorn (Thomas Kretschmann) is seen using a Luger P08 pistol, shooting a Skull Island native with it just as the native is about to kill Carl Denham (Jack Black).
M1903 Springfield
During and just after the climax of the film, several U.S. Army soldiers gathered around the Empire State Building can be seen holding M1903 Springfiled bolt-action rifles.
Lewis Gun
During the climax of the movie, the biplanes that attack Kong on the Empire State Building are fitted with Lewis Guns for the observer/tail gunner. The version used on the biplanes are air-cooled and lack the thick, water-filled sleeve around the barrel.
Harpoon Gun
When Kong is attacking the crew of the Venture during their attempt to capture him, Captain Englehorn shoots Kong in the leg with a harpoon gun of unknown make and model.
Browning M1919
In the scene where Kong is pursued from Central Park to the Empire State Building, U.S. Army soldiers are seen firing on the giant ape with a Browning M1919 machine gun mounted in the back of a car.
