The following weapons were used in the film The Fifth Element:
AKS-74U (as the "Zorg ZF-1 Pod Weapon")
Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg (Gary Oldman) makes a deal with the Mangalores that involves selling them his company's new Zorg ZF-1 pod weapons system. The ZF-1 contains a machine gun, rocket launcher, poison arrow launcher, net launcher, flamethrower, and freeze ray. Simon Atherton, the armorer who designed and built the weapons used in The Fifth Element, has said in an interview for a science-fiction magazine that the ZF-1 was built around a 5.45x39mm AKS-74U carbine. (It's also possible to see the AKS-74U flash hider on the weapon in some scenes.)
Korben's Handgun (Vektor CP1)
The handgun used by Korben Dallas (Bruce Willis), Leeloo (Milla Jovovich) and Father Vito Cornelius (Ian Holm) throughout the film appears to be a Vektor CP1 pistol visually modified.
The Mangalore handgun
The Vektor CP1 pistol also appears to be the basis for the Mangalore handgun. Korben Dallas (Bruce Willis) also is seen using this handgun when "negotiating" with the lead Mangalore.
AK-47
The Mangalore assault rifles props were built around the AK-47 series assault rifles.
WZ.83 Pallad D
The ZF-140 assault gun the mugger (Mathieu Kassovitz) pointed at Korben Dallas Was a dressed up Polish Pallad D Grenade Launcher. Two AK mags were mounted at an angle and the underfolding stock was covered by a rubber motorcycle fork gaiter.
Calico M960 Submachine Gun
A visually modified Calico M960 is used by one of the Mangalores disguised as humans to shoot at NYPD officers at JFK International Airport.
Browning M2 Heavy Machine Gun
The heavy machine gun used by the Mangalores onboard the Fhloston Paradise space liner was a Browning M2 heavy machine gun. The Browning M2 used in the film has a shortened barrel and was fitted with rockets, flexible metal hoses and a ballistic shield to make the weapon look more futuristic.
"NYPD" Weapon
The NYPD is seen carried a modified handgun of some sort as their main weapon. It's also used by the crew of the Fhloston Paradise space liner in fighting the Mangalores.
Mauser Schnellfeuer (M712)
A Mauser M712 machine pistol is used by Billy (Luke Perry) in Egypt in 1914. While it looks appropriate for the time period, the Schnellfeuer was produced in the early 1930s and is thus an anachronism.
Steyr AUG
A modified Steyr AUG rifle could be seen among the weapons Korben Dallas has collected from various sources at his apartment.
Colt Commando
A modified Colt Commando can be seen among Korben Dallas' gun collection.
Norinco Type 56-1
A visually modified Norinco Type 56-1 rifle was seen in the hands of a Fhloston Paradise space liner crew member when Korbin Dallas (Bruce Willis) and Ruby Rhod (Chris Tucker) were heading to the ship's control room.
