U.S. Army soldiers at Fort Knox were seen with [[M14 Rifle|M14 rifles]] slung over their shoulders before Fort Knox was hit with fake knock-out gas by Pussy Galore's crew.
James Bond (Sean Connery) keeps a brown-gripped .32 ACP Walther PPK in his shoulder holster, seen most prominently when a Cuban hitman tries to grab it during the pre-credits sequence.
Goldfinger's guards carry MP40s, using them in most major gunfights of the film, with even Goldfinger himself using one briefly during the Fort Knox raid. This gun is also being tested on a bulletproof vest in Q's lab. The old lady working as a guard to Goldfinger's facility also carries an MP40.
When Bond (Sean Connery) first engages Goldfinger's men in a gunfight outside Goldfinger's Geneva factory, he fires a Walther P38 at them rather than his usual PPK. Several of Auric Goldfinger (Gert Fröbe)'s guards can be seen carrying Walther P38s as their sidearms, one of which Bond also manages to comandeer before having to hand it back over to Pussy Galore (Honor Blackman).
One of the Goldfinger's guards who sits next to Bond in his Aston Martin holds a Smith & Wesson Model 36 on him. In a continuity error, it later becomes a Walther P38.
While flying to the United States, Bond correctly identifies Pussy Galore's (Honor Blackman) revolver as a Smith & Wesson Model 22 (when he says "Smith & Wesson .45"), also stating that a bullet fired from the gun would pass through him and the plane.
Oddjob (Harold Sakata) uses a suppressed M1911A1 to kill Solo (Martin Benson) while driving him to the airport in the Lincoln. This pistol is also used by US Army soldiers
U.S. Army soldiers at Fort Knox were seen with M14 rifles slung over their shoulders before Fort Knox was hit with fake knock-out gas by Pussy Galore's crew.
During the raid on Fort Knox, Auric Goldfinger (Gert Fröbe) can be seen carrying a Colt Official Police revolver with a gold-plated finish and ivory grips while disguised as a U.S. Army Colonel, even shooting Mr. Ling with it, to fool Army soldiers during the shootout at the gold depository. Note: In the novel, Goldfinger uses a Gold-plated Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket and killed his victims with one shot through the right eye.
Note the switch from M14s(above,likely filmed in U.S.) to WWII era Thompson and carbines,most likely because the Fort Knox set was built in England and at the time(1964) M14s weren't readily available to UK armourers.

M1 Carbine
U.S. Army soldiers can be seen carrying M1 Carbines during the gas raid on Fort Knox. They are WW2 Carbines judging by the darker wood Walnut stock and lack of a bayonet lug.
Q tells Bond about the machine guns installed underneath the lights of his customized Aston Martin DB5, which Bond uses during a car chase at Goldfinger's factory in Geneva.
A Nagant M1895 revolver is also visible on the wall.
