Top Secret! (1984)
The following firearms can be seen in the 1984 comedy film Top Secret!:
Colonel Von Horst (Warren Clarke) uses a Walther P38 to threaten Nick after he smarts-off in German. Sergeant Kruger (Jack Cooper) also uses one to shoot an informant later.
Chocolate Mousse's (Eddie Tagoe) weapon is an M1928 Thompson. During one scene, Chocolate Mousse "loads" his weapon like a musket, even pouring gunpowder and using a ramrod.
The Karabiner 98k can be seen in the hands of the East Germans.

Here, German soldiers with Karabiner 98k's apprehend, and later execute, a guy carrying a suspicious package, which is later revealed to contain dog biscuits...
M1 Garand
Deja Vu uses an M1 Garand. Also, in when the East Germans attack the Resistance headquarters, a German soldier, for some reason, is using an M1 Garand.
The gun in this picture looks to me like a Beretta 92F, however the film is set around WWII and the 92F was not designed until 1972 so it could just be a movie mistake and they were not careful to use guns and other weapons from that era.
It's set in the 1950's. Still too early for such a gun, but then again, they also have a 1970's Ford Pinto and overall intentional flagrant disregard for period authenticity anyway.
Unknown revolvers

(In reality smashing ALL of the panes allows you one less obstruction to a target and keeps the enemy's fire from hurling glass shards at you when their fire smashes the pane.)Error creating thumbnail: File missingDéjà Vu (Jim Carter) tries to break a window using a revolver, only for the barrel to bend.
Cannon
Chocolate Mousse (Eddie Tagoe) uses a muzzle-loading field cannon during the attack on the French Resistance's headquarters.
