The following weapons were used in the 1985 film Spies Like Us:
The United States soldiers seen during Emmett Fitz-Hume (Chevy Chase) and Austin Millbarge's (Dan Aykroyd) training are carrying M16A1's, such as those seen running around the base. Also, M16's are one of the many rifles used by the Mujahadeen warriors.
The guards at the abandoned outdoor theater are seen holding Colt XM177's. As was common in several of the films directed by John Landis, several movie directors make cameos and they are seen here.
Several of the Mujahideen are seen wielding M1 Carbines.

AK-47/Norinco Type 56
True, genuine AK-47's can be seen in the hands of Soviet soldiers and Border Guards. Oddly enough, some are also seen using Chinese Type56's at random points during the film. Also, a good majority of the Mujaheddin warriors are carrying AK-47's/Type-56's, including at least one with a folding stock, seen during the Ambulance chase scene.
Several of the Mujahideen can be seen using No. 1 Mark III* Lee-Enfield's, and the No.4 rifle is later seen in the hands of the Pakistani soldiers at the guard post.
The "GLG-20's" Jerry Hadley (Charles McKeown) and Karen Boyer (Donna Dixon) use MAC-10's when Soviet troops discover the spies while infiltrating the Soviet Union. Austin later uses one in his corageous attempt to rescue Emmett from the Soviet border guards.

Here, Austin is loading a MAC-10 with a magazine full of these innovative inventions.
Tokarev TT-33
The Soviet KGB Agents are seen using Tokarev TT-33 pistols after Emmett and Austin discover their contacts' true loyalties while in Pakistan. The agents are also seen using the pistols later at the highway patrol office. They should, however, be using Makarovs.

M1911
During Emmett and Austin's training, Colonel Rhombus (Bernie Casey) fires a nickel plated M1911 with ivory grips at their feet to persuade them to jump into the mud pit.
