The following firearms were seen in the film King Solomon's Mines (1985)
Webley revolver
Allan Quartermain (Richard Chamberlain) carries a Webley-type revolver, possibly a Webley Mk VI.
Double-barreled sawed off shotgun
Quartermain carries a trademark sawed off shotgun of unknown type.
Luger P08
A german sergeant carries the Luger P08.
FN MAG (WW1-era machine gun mockup)
The German soldiers and African rebels use a FN MAG machine gun heavily modifed to look like machine guns of World War 1.
FN FAL/LAR (modified to look like Lewis-gun)
The main villain Dogati uses a FN LAR modified to look like a World War 1 Lewis light machine gun. The movie was filmed in Zimbabwe so there was no lack of FN FAL derivatives due to its popularity on that continent.
Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I
The German soldiers and African rebels carries the British world war 2 era Lee-Enfield rifle. It is most likely the Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I.
