M1 Carbine
Capt. Bennett Marco (Frank Sinatra) is seen holding an M1 Carbine just before the ambush in Korea.
M1 Garand
A US Army honor guard is seen carrying the M1 Garand when Raymond Shaw is greeted back in the States.
PPSh-41
Chinese guards in the back of the room during the brainwashing are clearly seen holding PPSh-41 submachine guns.
Walther P38
Bennett Marco (Frank Sinatra) hands Raymond Shaw (Laurence Harvey) a Walther P38 during the brainwashing scene. While it is more likely an American officer in the Korean War would carry an M1911A1, it's possible that the gun was simply one provided by the Chinese or a personal sidearm that Captain Marco picked up in World War II.
Colt Official Police
Raymond Shaw (Laurence Harvey) is seen with what appears to be a suppressed Colt Official Police revolver when he confronts Senator Jordan.
Arisaka Type 2 Paratrooper rifle
Though described by Mrs. Iselin (Angela Lansbury) as a "a two-piece Soviet Army sniper's rifle" the weapon Raymond Shaw (Laurence Harvey) assembling is in reality a Japanese Arisaka Type 99 Type 2 Paratrooper rifle mounted with a low power rifle scope.
