The following guns were used in the movie Lord of War

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Lord of War (2005)

AK-47/AKM/AKMS

One of the most frequently-seen weapons in the film, numerous versions of the AK-47 and the newer AKM appear constantly. The weapon's simplicity and near-indestructibility are highly praised by Yuri during the movie in one memorable scene where he examines an AK while detailing its features and history in modern war. The film starts out following the journey of an AK-47 7.62x39mm round from a munitions factory in Russia to its' final destination in some third-world country, where it is fired at and kills an unarmed youth.

As in many Hollywood movies, one of the most common AK derivatives seen in the film is the Norinco Type 56-1, the Chinese copy of the AKMS, with its distinctive hooded front sight. In fact, AKs of this type are seen being used by the ex-USSR soldiers in Ukraine during the early-1990s (which is highly inaccurate, because Soviet tropps would never use Chinese-made weapons, and the 7.62x39mm AKs had been phased out of Russian service at the time of the scene, anyway). Several early-1950s Type III AK-47s (which are true "AK-47s", as opposed to AKMs) also appear - this is the type which Yuri Orlov (Nicolas Cage) is seen playing with during his infamous narrative speech describing the versatility and popularity of the Kalashnikov.

Andre Baptiste, Jr.'s custom AK

The gold-plated AK-47/AKM derivative carried by Andre Baptiste, Jr. (Sammi Rotibi) is not, as has been written previously, an "AKS-47U" or "AKMSU" or any such factory-manufactured weapon. It is apparently (and most likely) a custom-made Kalashnikov built specially for the movie by the film's armorers, and appears to have been inspired by Saddam Hussein's infamous gold-plated Kalashnikovs which were discovered in Iraq after the invasion.

Besides being gold-plated, some of the features of this weapon borrowed from other Kalashnikov derivatives are (1.) A side-folding skeleton stock borrowed from East German and Romanian-made AKMS copies, (2.) A stamped-and-pressed AKM-style receiver, (3.) The old-style smooth magazines which were only used on very early AK-47s (as opposed to the "ribbed" types which are the most common today), and (4.) A chopped barrel and hand guard which look nothing like those of most AKSU variants, though the conical muzzle break does appear to be AKSU style.

Micro Uzi

Yuri's very first arms sale is a batch of Micro Uzi machine pistols, which are sold to local Russian mobsters (inaccurately, the scene takes place in 1980 - the Micro Uzi was not introduced until 1983).

M16A2

In one of Yuri's first major sales, he procures hundreds of surplus M16A2 rifles left in Lebanon by America peace keepers, which he sells to the leader of a Lebanese Maronite militia (probably the real-life Phalange) in a joint deal with a corrupt American military officer named Lt. Colonel Southern (a reference to Lt. Colonel Oliver North, who in real life helped sell American-made weaponry "under the table" to proxy forces).

One notable goof here is that there is an extreme close-up of one rifle's receiver, and it is clearly possible to see the weapon says, "AR-15 A2" on the side (the AR-15 A2 being the semi-automatic civilian copy of the M16A2).

Uzi

In one scene, Yuri and Vitaly sell full-size Uzi submachine guns to Somali Islamic resistance fighters (one of them tests the weapon by firing it at a cardboard cutout of Ronald Reagan). Yuri notes the irony of this transaction: "I sold Israeli-made Uzis to Muslims."

Glock 17

In one part of the film, Yuri sells four Glock 17 pistols to a Colombian narco-guerilla (possibly a member of FARC),along with a large shipment of other weapons. When a dispute arises regarding payment for the weapons (the drug lord wants 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.

M60 Machine Gun

While doing buisness with André Baptiste, André Baptiste Jr. requests that Yuri get him what he calls "the gun of Rambo", an M60 machine gun. Upon receiving it, he is seen firing the gun at random civilians while driving in the truck to do business with the R.U.F. in Sierra Leone.

An M60 is also seen on the Coast Guard launch when Jack Valentine is about to board the Kristol/Kono.

Heckler & Koch MP5A2/A3

Throughout the movie, the Interpol agents are brandishing Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine guns, both the MP5A2 and MP5A3 (they might be A4s and A5s, but it is difficult to see whether or not they have the 4-position trigger groups or not). In one scene where Interpol agents confront Yuri as he is about to ship an Mi-24 attack helicopter to Burkina Faso, one of the agents shoves an MP5 in his face threateningly. He coolly replies, "Oh, a new MP5...would you like a silencer for that?"

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 RPGs, to peasants to avoid being caught with them by Interpol agents.

Beretta M92FS

Yuri's brother Vitaly Orlov (Jared Leto) carries a Beretta M92FS pistol throughout the movie. During the altercation with the narco-guerilla in Colombia, he pulls this weapon to defend his brother.

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 the R.U.F. in exchange for conflict diamonds, but only manages to destroy one truck (containing half the weapons) before he's shot multiple times by rebel gunmen. He falls close to the second truckload of weapons and tries to pull the pin out of a second grenade as he lies dying, but he is stopped by Yuri, who puts the pin back into the grenade. Vitaly then expires.
