The following firearms were used in the film Three Kings
M16A2 Assault Rifle
The M16A2 can be seen throughout the movie in use by the various US forces and the four main characters.
M4 Carbine
Major Archie Gates (George Clooney) is seen armed with an M4 Carbine in the film and in promotional pictures.
Beretta M92FS pistol
The Beretta M92FS can be seen throughout the movie as well. Used by SFC Troy Barlow (Mark Wahlberg), SSGT Chief Elgin (Ice Cube), PFC Conrad Vig (Spike Jonze) and numerous other US personnel. Elgin accidentally fires his at one point when pistol-whipping an Iraqi soldier during the raid on the Karbala bunker, though thankfully no one is harmed by the stray shot.
M60 Machine Gun
The M60 machine gun is seen mounted on top of the HMMWV, and is fired a few times during the confrontation between the main characters and the Iraqi soldiers at the Karbala bunker.
Thunder 5 pistol
This is the peculiar-looking "big revolver" carried by PFC Conrad Vig. The Thunder 5 is used to threathen a group of Iraqi soldiers at the Karbala bunker, perform target practice from a moving vehicle, and finally to shoot Iraqi soldiers during the rescue of SFC Barlow. An Interesting thing to note is that this weapon is not US Army Issue (Indeed, there is a deleted scene in which Vig recieves the weapon on Easter as a gift from his parents).
Remington 870
A Remington 870 with a sawed-off barrel and stock can be seen in one of the flashback scenes where Conrad Vig is blasting away at objects arranged in a makeshift shooting range during his civilian life.
AKS-74U Assault Rifle
The AKMSU carbine can be seen in the hands of the Iraqi officer in the "moving of the gold" scene at the Karbala bunker. He is later shot in the leg with his own weapon during a struggle with Major Archie Gates (George Clooney), the incident leading to a shootout between the protagonists and the Iraqis despite Gates stating it was an accident.
Makarov PM pistol
The Makarov PM pistol can be seen being used by one of the Iraqi soldiers to kill one of the Shiite refugees imprisoned at the Karbala bunker, and then being used by one of the Iraqi's interrogating Barlow when he's rescued. The pistol is then taken by Barlow who appears ready to kill his former captor, but instead fires several shots into the wall near his head.
Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE)
The Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE) is seen being carried and fired by one of the Shiite refugees.
Mauser Gewehr 98/ Mauser Karabiner 98k rifle
Many of the Shiite refugees are seen armed with Mauser 98 bolt-action rifles - both the Gewehr 98 rifle and the Karabiner 98k rifle.
Mosin-Nagant
Many of the Shiite refugees and rebel Iraqi troops can be seen armed with Mosin-Nagant M91/30 rifles and M1944 carbines.
AKM
The AKM can be seen throughout the movie in use by Iraqi forces and also the four main characters and Shiite refugees. During the mission to rescue SFC Barlow, an Iraqi soldier who was not fooled by the protagonists' Saddam ruse uses an AKM to fatally wound Conrad Vig and seriously injure Barlow before being taken down by a Shiite refugee and Major Gates, the latter also using an AKM at the time.
RPK light machine gun
During the mission to rescue Barlow from the Iraqi's, one of the Iraqi's can be seen with an RPK light machine gun, which he discards when fleeing from the ruse of Saddam's arrival.
Type 69 anti-tank rocket launcher
The Type 69 anti-tank rocket launcher can be seen used by Iraqi soldiers in two scenes; first to blow up a tanker truck full of milk at the Karbala bunker, then to destroy one of the cars in the convoy pretending to be "Saddam"'s entourage.
