Handguns
M1911A1
The M1911A1 is seen in the hands of Holnists and is also used by The Postman (Kevin Costner) when he escapes from the Holnists.
Smith & Wesson Military & Police
General Bethlehem (Will Patton) carries a Pre-Model 10 Smith & Wesson M&P as his sidearm. The same revolver was used just moments before by Ford Lincoln Mercury (Larenz Tate). It's identifiable as a Pre-Model 10 because of the hammer, front sight and the ejector rod design.
Rifles & Carbines
CAR-15
The CAR-15 taken off the Holnists is used by several characters including the Postman (Kevin Costner) as well as Abby (Olivia Williams). They were seen firing in semi-auto, probably indicating that they might be civilian models that weren't converted to full auto.
M1 Carbine
An M1 Carbine is carried by the Postman (Kevin Costner) at the beginning of the film. He loses it when he gets captured and it's never seen again.
M14
An M14 is seen in the hands of Ford Lincoln Mercury (Larenz Tate).

M16A1 rifles can be seen being carried by Holnist soldiers in the background. The Car-15 is carried by Holnist solders who get major camera time.
AK 47 Variant
One of the many Holnist soldiers appears to be carrying an Ak 47 Variant. Unable to determine the exact model.Despite my best efforts the only shot I could find of it remained blurry. However it's likely that it's an AKM considering that the movie was filmed within the continental United States in 1997 and the AKM often served as a double for the AK-47 during the eighties and nineties.
M1 Garand
M1 Garands are used by many of the Postal Carriers.
Shotguns
Mossberg 500
A Mossberg 500 shotgun is seen in the hands of Sheriff Briscoe (Daniel von Bargen).
