The following weapons were used in the film Back to the Future:
Norinco Type 56
Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) is shot with a Norinco Type 56 by Libyan terrorists. This is probably the only time in a motion picture where a Kalashnikov-pattern rifle is seen jamming (yet it can happen, usually when a round pops up at a strange angle in the magazine, stopping the feed completely, and racking the action doesn't immediately eject the misfed round). Why this was noteworthy amongst firearms enthusiasts was because the AK was (and is) still one of the world's most reliable weapons and rarely experiences the jams of other, more 'delicate' firearms.
RPG-7
The Libyan terrorists attempt to destroy the time machine with an RPG-7, causing Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) to accelerate to the speed necessary to initiate time travel in an attempt to escape. In reality, the weapon is a fake RPG-7 common in films made in the 1980's.
Single Action Army
In the beginning of the movie, Doc Brown attempts to defend himself from the terrorists with a nickel-plated Single Action Army fitted with pearl grips. He has this as his personal sidearm because the "Wild West" is his favorite period in history as he mentions in the later movies.
Charlie Parker 1878 Double Barrel Shotgun
When Marty first travels back in time to 1955, "Old Man Peabody", a farmer plus obsessive pine-tree breeder, (Will Hare), mistaking him for a malevolent space mutant, fires a Charles Parker shotgun at him.
