Argo is a 2012 thriller directed by and starring Ben Affleck. The film is based on the recently declassified story of CIA exfiltration specialist Tony Mendez (portrayed by Affleck in the film), who in 1979 devised a daring plan for six American diplomats to escape Iran during the Iranian Hostage Crisis by posing as a Canadian film crew scouting locations for a fictional sci-fi epic. The film's cast includes John Goodman, Bryan Cranston, and Alan Arkin.
The following weapons were used in the film Argo:
Handguns
Walther P38
When the U.S. Embassy in Tehran is seized by Iranian demonstrators on November 4, 1979, a Walther P38 is used by one of the demonstrators to force an American diplomat to open the doors to the main building.
Colt M1911A1
The demonstrators also brandish M1911A1 pistols when seizing the embassy.
Submachine Guns
IMI Uzi
Several members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard are armed with Uzi submachine guns.
Madsen M50
Mendez is inspired to come up with his plan while watching a scene from Battle for the Planet of the Apes on television that features the ape Caesar (Roddy McDowall) holding a Madsen M50 submachine gun.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
In one scene, a Revolutionary Guard shoots a man with a Heckler & Koch MP5K.
Rifles
Heckler & Koch G3A3
Most of the Revolutionary Guards and soldiers are armed with Heckler & Koch G3A3 rifles, the standard weapon of the pre-revolutionary Iranian military.
M16A1
U.S. Marine Embassy guards are seen grabbing and loading M16A1 rifles when the demonstrators break into the embassy compound.
Other
Smith & Wesson 276 Gas Gun
Marines use Smith & Wesson 276 Gas Guns to fire tear gas rounds at the demonstrators as they attempt to storm the embassy.
