Calico M960 (as the "M1-L1 triple-pulse rifle")
The weapons brought along by Hanover (Wes Studi) and his team of pirates to loot the cruise ship Argonautica are described in the movie as "Chinese M1-L1 triple-pulse assault rifles" which have "thousand-round capacities", rotating barrels, and are "air-cooled & water-tight".
In reality, the guns which serve as the basis of the prop pulse rifles ("practical weapons") are heavily modified 9mm Calico M960 submachine guns with 100-round magazines. Among the modifications that appear to have been added by the film's armorers are "thumbhole" stocks, large flashlights, and claw mounts fitted with some type of red-dot reflex sight. The five rotating barrels on each gun do not actually fire; they are fitted around the real barrel of each Calico and seem to be driven by a small electric motor connected to the trigger, so that when the guns are fired, the barrels will spin. The enormous muzzle flash of the Calicos (probably generated with full-load blanks) usually obscures this special effects trick, but in several scenes of the movie, it is possible to see that the muzzle flash is coming from between the rotating barrels, not through them.
Taurus PT92/PT99
A pair of Taurus PT92 pistols are used frequently throughout the movie. Hanover (Wes Studi) carries a black PT99, a variant of the PT92 which has adjustable sights, as his sidearm (for some reason, he is always reloading it even though he never fires it once on screen). Vivo (Djimon Hounsou) carries a stainless PT92 AFS as his sidearm, which winds up changing hands numerous times throughout the movie. When Vivo is killed, this gun is taken by Hanover and is later stolen by Trillian (Famke Jensen), who uses it to dispatch the monster's tentacles in order to save Finnegan (Treat Williams).
Later, Vivo's PT92 ends up in the hands of Joey (Kevin J. O'Connor), who gives it back to Hanover when he is in the process of being painfully devoured by the monster (which kills its victims by slowly sucking fluids out of their bodies). Hanover shows his gratitude by firing a round at Joey (who runs off), but when he tries to commit suicide with the gun, the hammer falls on an empty chamber.
Walther PP
T-Ray's pistol appears to be an older model Walther PP.
Beretta 92FS
Mason (Clifton Powell) wields a Beretta 92FS with after-market wood grips in a scene where Finnegan (Treat Williams) confronts the pirates. It is not seen again after this encounter.
Unknown Shotgun
Used by Finnegan throughout the movie, most notably in the finale, when he uses it to fire a round of buckshot into one of the monster's eyeballs, blinding it.
