The following weapons were used in the film Catch a Fire:
FN FAL
Many of the police and soldiers throughout the film use FN FAL battle rifles.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
When we first see Nic Vos (Tim Robbins), he can be seen teaching his two daughters, Kate (Jessica Anstey), and Marie (Charlotte Savage) to shoot at a range with Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolvers.
AKM
Many of the ANC rebels use the AKM as their main weapon for their struggle against apartheid.
This looks like the Polish AKM model, like in Hotel Rwanda. [1]
RPG-7
In the scene when Patrick (Derek Luke) is training with the ANC, some ANC trainees can be seen with RPG-7s.
M79 grenade launcher
When soldiers assault the ANC headquarters, one of them can seen with an M79 grenade launcher.
