This is John Carpenter's Remake of the classic film The Thing (1951) (original unabridged title: The Thing from Another World)
The following guns were used in the movie The Thing
H&K 93
H&K 93 semi-auto in 5.56mm used by the Norwegian to try and kill the infected dog while flying from the helicopter.
SPOILER
The HK 93 has never been issued to the Norwegian Army, only a few examples were on trial in the late 70's or early 80's. The closest gun to this movie would be the HK G3A4, a scoped version of the standard G3A3 (slightly modified to Norwegian specs: The buttstock is 2 cm longer than the original German rifle. A different bayonette attachment, and bolt aid spurs.) Since military presence and all firearms are banned in the Norwegian sector of Antarctica, i seriously doubt that the Norwegian Goverment would aid goverment-paid researchers with guns and choppers..
Ithaca 37 pump action shotgun
Not a Remington Model 31 as prevously mentioned. You can tell it is a Ithica 37 because of the lack of an side ejection port and the . It is also used to shoot the dogs and Windows manages to grab one before he is subdued by the others. MacReady (Kurt Russell) is also seen with one at the Norwegian base.
Colt Trooper MkIII
Garry (Donald Moffat) uses the Colt Trooper MkIII to shoot the Norwegian when he is trying to kill the infected dog with the H&K 93. The revolver was prevously thought to be a S&W Model 15, however the M15 is similar in looks. The Colt has a shrouded ejector rod housing, the M15 does not. The pictured revolver has the shrouded ejector rod unlike the S&W M15..
M2 Flamethrower
This flamethrower is used by several members of the team throughout the movie. Palmer uses a different flamethrower.
Thermite Gernade
It can not be conclusivly said to be a thermite gernade but this can be assumed due to the cylander shape and the explosions produce a lot of sparks. We also know that the Norwegians had thermite charges. This grenade is used by one of the Norwegians. It slips from his hand, and on explosion it kills his colleague and destroys the helicopter.
