The following guns were used in the movie Lord of War
Uzi Series
Practically every major version of the Uzi makes an appearance in this film, with the Micro Uzi being the first gun sold by Yuri Orlov (Nicolas Cage).
M16A2
In one of Yuri's first major sales, he procures hundreds of surplus M16A2 rifles.
Colt Model 733
During the arms botique, several women can be seen posing with Colt Model 733s.
Glock 17
In one part of the film, Yuri sells four Glock 17 pistols to a Colombian drug lord. When a dispute arises reguarding payment for the weapon (the drug lord wanted to give him cocaine instead of money), Yuri ends up getting shot with one of the pistols, violating the most important of his three rules; "Don't get shot with your own merchandise".
A notable mistake is that two of the Glock-17s in this scene (including the one used by the drug lord to shoot Yuri) are clearly third-generation models (they have frame rails for mounting accessories, plus thumb reliefs and finger grooves in the grip), which were introduced in 2000, but the scene takes place in the late-1980s.
Smith & Wesson Model 686
While Yuri is negotiating with André Baptiste Sr. (Eamonn Walker), the warlord uses a Smith & Wesson Model 686 to kill one of the men in the room, after which Yuri comments that he'll have to purchase the weapon having used it. Later on, André captures Yuri's primary gun-running competitor, Simeon Weisz (Ian Holm) as a "present" for Yuri and gives him the opportunity to kill him using the revolver. When Yuri is reluctant to do the deed himself, the warlord puts the gun in Yuri's hand and presses Yuri's finger on the trigger until the gun fires, killing Weisz.
M240G Machine Gun
As part of the deal with André Baptiste, Yuri sells him a shipment of M240G machine guns.
M60 Machine Gun
While doing buisness with André Baptiste, his son André Baptiste Jr. (Sammi Rotibi) requests that Yuri get him what he calls "the gun of Rambo", an M60 machine gun. Upon recieving it, he is seen firing the gun at random civilians while driving in his car.
AK-47
One of the most frequently-seen weapons in the film, numerous versions and foreign clones of the AK-47 appear constantly. The weapon's simplicity and near-indestructability are highly praised by Yuri during the movie. The film starts out following the journey of an AK-47's 7.62x39mm round from a munitions factory in Russia to its' termination in some third-world country where it is fired at and kills an armed youth.
H&K G3A3
When intercepted by Interpol and local goverment agents after his cargo plane is downed, one of the local government agents intends to shoot Yuri with an H&K G3A3, but is stopped by the Interpol agent.
AKS-47U
One of the more distinctive weapons in the film, André Baptiste Jr. is frequently seen toting an AKS-47U; a compact, carbine version of the AK-47, André's having everything except the wooden parts gold-plated.
Heckler & Koch MP5A4
When Yuri's cargo ship is boarded by Interpol agents, the agents are seen brandishing Heckler & Koch MP5A4's.
RPG-7
Another frequently-seen weapon in the film is the RPG-7 rocket launcher. In one scene, Yuri gives away a whole plane full of weapons, including RPG's, to peasants to avoid being caught with them by Interpol agents.
Beretta M92FS
During the altercation with the drug lord, Yuri's brother Vitaly Orlov (Jared Leto) pulls a Beretta M92FS pistol to defend his brother.
Type 67 Machine Gun
Another weapon seen in the film is a Type 67 machine gun, a Chinese weapon similar to the Russian PK machine gun.
Steyr AUG
When Yuri's wife stumbles upon the cargo container Yuri conducts his gunrunning buisness from, we can see a Steyr AUG among the weapons inside.
Karabiner 98k
A Karabiner 98k bolt-action rifle can be seen in the hands of an Afghan Mujahideen rebel during the montage where Yuri describes the growth of his buisness.
RGD-5 Hand Grenade
Near the end of the film, Vitaly uses RGD-5 hand grenades to try to destroy the weapons his brother is selling to André Baptiste Jr. in exchange for conflict diamonds, but only manages to destroy about half the weapons before he's killed.
