Bad Taste is a 1987 horror comedy that was the first feature length film directed by Peter Jackson. Jackson also has an acting role in the film.
The following guns were used in the movie Bad Taste
IMI Uzi
Derek (Peter Jackson) uses an IMI Uzi sub-machine gun at the start of the film. The weapon is seen again later in the hands of an alien. It's interesting to note that Peter Jackson went about crafting most of the guns himself for the movie.
Sterling MK IV SMG
Three Sterling MK IV Submachine guns are used by Frank, Barry and Ozzy. In the "Good taste made Bad Taste" documentry, Director Peter Jackson explains how he made these guns himself out of aluminum pipe and plastic. He doesn't specify if he made the other guns but nonetheless they're quite impressive.
AKS-47
This is the weapon of choice for most of the aliens in the movie. Again, this was another replica made by Peter Jackson for the movie. It seems the same prop was used over and over again because not more than one is seen at any given time.
Browning Hi-Power
Barry uses what looks like a Browning Hi-Power pistol after his Sterling jams. It appears that this is a real gun because there is recoil, smoke and ejecting cartridges. Apparently, the New Zealand film commission didn't allow Peter Jackson to use blank firing guns in this movie which is why he made replicas and added in the effects during post-production. Handguns are legal to own in New Zealand so Peter wouldn't of had much trouble using them in the movie. The actors also behave like they're firing a real gun during these scenes. Full auto weapons on the other hand are restricted in New Zealand which explains the use of replicas for the "bigger" guns.
Smith and Wesson Model 29
Used by one of the military personnel.
MP40
Used by one of the aliens.
RPG-7 (FAKE)
A fake RPG-7 is used to destroy the house, as well as an unlucky sheep.
