The following guns were used in the movie Commando
Heckler & Koch Model 91
During the attack on his home that results in Jenny (Alyssa Milano)'s kidnapping, John Matrix (Arnold Schwarzenegger) retrieves an Heckler & Koch 91 from his tool shed to fend off the attackers. Since the receiver has only two fire positions (Safe and Fire) it is the semiautomatic HK91 rather than the select fire G3.
M16A1
There are numerous appearances of M16A1 rifles in the film; used by U.S. military personnel as well as some of Arius (Dan Hedaya)'s men, one of which Matrix commandeers and uses as well. The M16A1's in this film have 20-round magazines.
Valmet M78/83
One of the weapons used by Matrix during the assault on Arius' base, the Valmet M78 is a Finnish light machine gun similar in appearance to the RPK, the main difference being a different muzzle brake, front sight assembly, and many other structural differences. The Valmet M78 Light Machine Gun has a standard RPK 'style' buttstock. The later Valmet M78/83 has a synthetic thumbhole "Dragunov Style" stock. This is the version used in the film. The Valmet M78 series of Light Machine guns came in 7.62x51mm (.308) and 7.62x39mm calibers.
M202 FLASH
Another weapon used by Matrix during the final assault, the M202 FLASH is the 4-barreled rocket launcher first seen being used by Cindy (Rae Dawn Chong) to flip the police van carrying Matrix after he's arrested raiding a military surplus store for supplies.
Uzi
One of the weapons used by Matrix that appears in the the final assault is the full size Uzi (most notably when stealing the seaplane to reach Arius' compound.
Micro Uzi
A Micro Uzi is used by Bennett (Vernon Wells) during a last ditch effort against Matrix, but Bennet is killed by Matrix before he can fire the weapon.
Ingram MAC-10
Used by assassins in the beginning of the movie.
Remington 870
There are several appearances of Remington 870 shotguns in the film, first by police officers who arrest Matrix when he raids a military surplus store, then by Matrix himself during the final raid on Arius' compound. The latter has a high-capacity magazine tube.
Steyr AUG
During the final raid on Arius' compound, Arius attempts to take out Matrix using a Steyr AUG bullpup rifle, but ultimately fails and ends up among Matrix's body count.
AKM
Throughout the movie, Some of Arius' men are seen using AKMs.
M67 hand grenade
Yet another weapon used by Matrix is several M67 hand grenades. Some are also used by Arius' men during the final battle.
Desert Eagle
Another weapon Matrix uses during the final battle is a silver Desert Eagle with black grips.
Franchi SPAS-12
Another weapon seen being carried by Arius' men, but is not used in combat is the SPAS 12.
M60E3 Machine Gun
The M60E3 machine gun first appears being used by one of Arius' men, and is comandeered and used by Matrix. Short barrel version of M60E3 was used in the movie.
LAR Grizzly Win Mag
During the final showdown with Matrix, Bennet shoots him in the arm with an LAR Grizzly Win Mag, a variant of the M1911A1 pistol chambered in .45 Winchester Magnum with a barrel that protrudes past the end of the slide.
Colt MK IV Series 70
Used by General Kirby, carried in his holster when Matrix surprises him and pulls the gun out of Kirby's holster.
M18A1 Claymore
Just before starting the final battle, Matrix plants several M18A1 Claymore anti-personnel mines on the grounds of the complex, and triggers it remotely during the battle. Though the M18A1 Claymore is an antipersonnel mine, the ones in the film are strong enough to vaporize an entire building, indicative of the 'exaggeration' of Hollywood movies. The M18A1 Claymore mines are not real (of course NONE are real in movies), however the ones in this film are even more 'customized' than usual. They are plastic casts of the M18A1 and fabricated to take an internal Radio receiver (and custom detonator). The Real M18A1 would be a self enclosed unit, two plastic halves enclosing the explosive and steel balls (shrapnel), and would not have room to add on an internal radio unit.
