The following weapons were used in the animated film The Iron Giant:
Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun
Near the end of the film, U.S. Army vehicles (primarily M41 Walker Bulldog tanks) can be seen fitted with Browning M2HB heavy machine guns when attacking the Iron Giant (V.O. Vin Diesel), mistakenly believing he was attacking the town of Rockwell.
Browning M2 Aircraft Heavy Machine Gun
In addition to the Army, the U.S. Air Force also becomes involved in the attack against the Iron Giant, sending F-86 Sabre fighter jets to try to destroy him, using missiles and built-in Browning M2 Aircraft heavy machine guns to eventually shoot him down, but not destroy him.
Browning M1919 Machine Gun
Another weapon used by the Army, the Jeep used to transport General Rogard (V.O. John Mahoney) and government agent Kent Mansley (V.O. Christopher McDonald) is fitted with a Browning M1919 machine gun.
M20 "Super Bazooka"
The first weapon fired at the Iron Giant by the Army, several soldiers can be seen armed with M20 "Super Bazooka" rocket launchers.
M1911A1
General Rogard carries an M1911A1 and it's mostly seen in his holster as well as when he uses it to shoot the Iron Giant.
FUN TRIVIA FACT: In this scene, and in the other scenes where General Rogard fires his M1911A1 at the Giant, the pistol sound effects are the EXACT same sound effects used in Terminator 2: Judgment Day for the Beretta and Browning pistols in that film.
M1 Garand
An M1 Garand is seen used by a soldier when Rogard's jeep stops after the Iron Giant approaches town from the forest while destroying tanks.
M1903 Springfield
The M1903 Springfield are used by several U.S. military personal when they attack the Giant and most are seen when the Iron Giant attacks the Army. The soldiers also aim these guns at Kent Mansley when he tries to escape a nuclear missile. These are highly anachronistic however, since the film is set in the 1950's and the M1903 had been completely phased out by this point except in a sniper capacity, which these weapons clearly are not.
M1 Carbine
A U.S. soldier was armed with a M1 Carbine during the first attack on the Iron Giant.
Winchester Model 70
Winchester Model 70 rifles were used by the two hunters when they killed a deer before Hogarth and the Iron Giant found them, the hunters dropping their rifles and fleeing at the sight of the Iron Giant.
BB Gun
A BB Gun was used by Hogarth Hughes in the beginning of the film while searching for the Iron Giant at the power station. It seems to be a lever-action weapon, possibly a Daisy Red Ryder. Hogarth originally tapes a flashlight to the barrel, but the flashlight disappears when the Iron Giant crushes the weapon underfoot while following Hogarth.
