Hot Shots! Part Deux (French for "Part Two") is the 1993 sequel to Hot Shots! (1991). Charlie Sheen returns as Topper Harley, who is asked to join a rescue team to get back his former commanding officer who was caught behind enemy lines. Also returning from the first film are Valeria Golino and Lloyd Bridges. While the first film was chiefly a parody of Top Gun, the sequel was mostly a parody of the Rambo films (the cast even includes Rambo co-star Richard Crenna).
The following weapons were used in the film Hot Shots! Part Deux:
Browning M2HB machine guns are dual-mounted on the bow of the Apocalypse Now PBR carrying "Captain Willard" (an uncredited Martin Sheen). Another single M2 is mounted in the stern of the PBR. These are likely just mockups.
In some scenes, the rifle carried by Rabinowitz appears to have a forward assist like on a Colt AR-15A2 Sporter II and the same model of fake M203 used in Predator and Scarface.

This is verified screen used from the film Scarface. Two 30 round magazines have been taped together with black gaffer's tape to emulate the way Tony Montana loaded his weapon in the film. What is interesting is that the tape in the movie does really appear to be motion picture gaffer's tape, which would only be common on ... a movie set.Error creating thumbnail: File missingRabinowitz (Ryan Stiles) is seen with an M16 fitted with what appears to be an M203 grenade launcher.Error creating thumbnail: File missingRabinowitz holds the rifle as the squad waits for Topper. The long trigger guard of the fake M203 can be seen clearly.
AKM
The AKM is the main rifle carried by Iraqi soldiers and sailors in the film.
This weapon is used by many Iraqi soldiers and officers including Rufshaad (Andreas Katsulas). Col. Denton Walters (Richard Crenna) is seen taking up an AKS-47.
Heckler & Koch HK94 (Chopped and Converted, Mocked Up as MP5A3)
Heckler & Koch HK94s chopped and converted to look like the MP5A3 are seen used by Topper, Commander Arvid Harbinger (Miguel Ferrer) and other team members. These HK94's have the slender foregrips of early MP5's.
What appears to be a Colt M1911A1 is seen in the holster of Capt. Benjamin L. Willard (an uncredited Martin Sheen, reprising his role from Apocalypse Now) as gives a thumbs up to his real-life son Charlie Sheen.
Saddam (Jerry Haleva) is seen using what appears to two full auto pistols that resemble the Beretta 93R. These are Beretta 92FS pistols converted to full-auto and customized with 93R barrels and long mags.
The Iraqi Boat Captain (Gregory Sierra) is seen firing an Oerlikon 20mm Cannon that was mounted on the Iraqi ship. In order to make the weapon more menacing, two drum magazines attached together to make a saddle drum are mounted on the weapon instead of the usual single magazine. While there are left-handed 20mm Oerlikon drums, these are rarer than right-handed drums, and so the saddle drum is made from two right-handed drums with the one on the left mounted backwards.
An M47 Dragon Anti-Tank Guided Missile Launcher is seen carried by the team. Rabinowitz is seen taking up the launcher while at the prison compound. This particular launcher is missing the optical sight and bipod: in other words, it is an expended launch tube. An actual M47 would not be used as a plain shoulder fired launcher with no other means of support, and could not be fired at all without a sighting unit attached since the trigger is on the right-hand side of the sight (of course this can be overlooked given the way the launcher is actually used in the film).

Note the shape of the foam rubber base compared to the image above: this is blown apart when the missile is fired, showing this to be a spent tube.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAiming the launcher. The folding sights mounted on the original sight bracket are a nice bit of prop work, and do a very good job of looking like they actually belong on the weapon. They appear to have been inspired by the folding sight of the Hotchkiss-Brandt SARPAC rocket launcher, a rather obscure 70s-era French attempt to produce a rival to the American M72 LAW.
RPG (Mockup)
The Iraqi sailor shoots with a fake missile built to look like an RPG-type launcher.
