Congo is the 1995 feature film adaptation of the Michael Crichton bestseller of the same name. Directed by Frank Marshall, the film follows a group of scientists who travel deep into Congo jungle searching for some colleagues who have gone missing after their camp was destroyed. The cast included Dylan Walsh, Laura Linney, Ernie Hudson, and Bruce Campbell.
The following weapons were used in the film Congo:
Handguns
M1911A1 Pistol
Captain Munro Kelly (Ernie Hudson) carries a Custom M1911A1 Pistol with an extended target front sight, a Bomar Rear Sight and a Safari Arms Ambidextrous Safety.
Luger P08
A Luger P08 is carried and fired by Dr. Peter Elliot (Dylan Walsh).
Submachine Guns
MAC-10 submachine gun
In addition to his M14 rifle, Kahega (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) also carries and uses a MAC-10 Submachine gun.
MP40
During the negotiations after their arrest, a junta soldier is seen threatening a man with an MP40 submachine gun - 9mm.
Uzi Submachine gun
Dr. Karen Ross (Laura Linney) carries and uses an Uzi Submachine gun during the final battle. The Uzi is later used by Dr. Peter Elliot (Dylan Walsh).
Machine Guns
M60 Machine Gun
An M60 Machine gun is briefly seen during the escape attempt from the Mwanzaa Airport - 7.62x51mm
MG34
During the same sequence an MG34 is also seen being wielded by a junta soldier - 7.92mm
Rifles/Carbines
FN FAL 50.61 Paratrooper Rifle
Captain Munro Kelly (Ernie Hudson) carries an FN FAL 50.61 Paratrooper rifle.
M14 Rifle
Kahega (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) carries an M14 Rifle.
AK-47
Soldiers at the Mwanzaa Airport carry either Russian AK-47 rifles or Poly Tech Legend AK-47 Rifles. They are the classic AK design without the Chinese Type 56 Style hood.
Norinco Type 56 rifle
Junta soldiers prior to their entry into Tanzania (and then into Zaire) also carry Chinese Norinco Type 56 rifles - the Chinese AK47 copy.
Rocky Mountain Arms Patriot Pistol
A full auto Rocky Mountain Arms Patriot Pistol is seen being loaded by Kelly's men prior to the night battle and Dr. Karen Ross (Laura Linney) ends up using it during the fight. The pistol is built up from a Patriot barreled Upper receiver on a full auto Colt XM lower (possibly a Model 614 Export version), which has a partial magazine fence as opposed to the "slab side" receiver found on the SP1 Sporter. Rather than use the short buffer tube on most AR15 pistol variants, the armorers simply removed the XM177 style buttstock from the standard Carbine Buffer tube and kept it on the firearm. The finishes are noticeably different from the Patriot upper receiver and the Colt Lower receiver. These custom firearms appear to have also been used in 1998's Soldier.
Unknown Bolt Action Rifle
I'm leaning towards a Winchester Model 70 without a scope due to the general shape. A background Kelly man holds a bolt action rifle but never fires it. Facing a horde of attacking Grey Gorillas one would want an assault rifle at the least.
Shotguns
Franchi SPAS-12
Munro Kelly (Ernie Hudson) is seen armed with a Franchi SPAS-12 shotgun in fighting the Zinj gorillas.
Sentry guns
Similar to the sentry guns used in the director's cut of the film Aliens, the camp has machine guns with dual drum magazines operating automatically to fire at movement 'out to 40 yards'. Though the sentry guns in Aliens were actually German MG42 machine guns, these are fake acetylene gas firing mockup guns. In the book, they also had sound suppressors, which had to be taken off to scare off the gorillas.
