Work in progress.....
The following guns were used in this film:
Colt Official Police
Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) loses his Colt Official Police Revolver at the beginning of the film when Willie drops it out of the getaway car after they exit club Obi Wan. Indy's had a 4" barrel and was .38 special. It had been thought that the Temple of Doom gun was the Colt New Service M1917 Revolver or possibly one of the cut down S&W's from Raiders of the Lost Ark, but new information and research has led to the discovery that it was most likely a 4 inch Colt Official Police .38.
The same gun looks to have also been used by one of Lao Che's gangsters.
Enfield No 4. Mk 1
The Lee Enfield No 4. Mk 1 was used by the Indian Army against the Temple of Doom guards at the Bridge scene.
One noteworthy scene is of an Royal Indian Army soldier having difficulty with his No 4. Mk 1 rifle. In the sequence the soldiers are cycling the bolts and firing as rapidly as they can. Being blanks there is no recoil, so the soldiers are almost 'short stroking' the cycling of the action. This soldier extracts a spent cartridge by pulling back on his bolt handle, but he does it only about 3/4th of the way before the empty brass breaks loose from the extractor claw, so he tries to load a fresh round out of the magazine before he has successfully extracted the expended brass. He struggles with two cartridges (one unspent, one spent) both jammed into the chamber, whereas after a few seconds, he pulls back hard on the bolt and both cartridges fly out, thus clearing the weapon. Thus the so called 'jam' seen on screen is purely operator error.
Martini Henry
The Martini Henry was used by the Temple of Doom guards during the Mine Cart chase.

M1928 Thompson
Lao Che's son Kao Kan shoots at Indy in the Club Obi Wan nightclub with a Thompson M1928 in the opening sequence.
Webley Mk III
A nickel plated Webley Mk. III is used by Chen to shoot and kill Indy's partner, Wu Han, during the cork popping scene in Club Obi Wan.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
What looks like a three inch Smith & Wesson Model 10 Military/Police with the butt swivel removed is used by Indy's partner Wu Han.
