The following firearms were seen in the film King Solomon's Mines (1985)
Webley Mk VI
Allan Quatermain (Richard Chamberlain) and several other characters carries the Webley Mk VI.
Double-barreled sawed off shotgun
Quatermain 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 (modified to look like Lewis-gun)
The main villain Dogati uses a FN FAL modified to look like a World War 1 Lewis light machine gun. Dogati fires the weapon fully automatic. The movie was filmed in Zimbabwe, which was formally the (British armed) country of Rhodesia so there were probably no lack of FN FAL derivatives due to its popularity in that country and above all on that continent.
Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I
The German soldiers and African rebels carries the British anachronistic world war 2 era Lee-Enfield rifle. It is most likely the Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I. In reality, since this movie takes place during World War 1, neither the Germans nor the African rebels would have used a rifle that was not introduced into the general public until 1939. It is doubly unlikely that the Germans at that time would have used any other rifle than the German Mauser.
