The Thing (1982)
This is John Carpenter's Remake of the classic film The Thing (1951) (original unabridged title: The Thing from Another World)
The following guns were used in the movie The Thing
H&K 93
H&K 93 semi-auto in 5.56mm used by the Norwegian to try and kill the infected dog while flying from the helicopter.
Ithaca 37 shotgun
MacReady (Kurt Russell) carries a Ithaca 37 shotgun several times in the film. At one point Windows(Thomas G. Waites) manages to grab one before he is subdued by the others.
Colt Detective Special 3rd Gen.
Later in the film Blair (Wilford Brimley) retrives a 3rd Generation Colt Detective Special that he keeps in his desk drawer.
Colt Trooper MkIII
Garry (Donald Moffat) carries a Colt Trooper MkIII in a holster on his duty belt. Midway during the film MacReady aquires Garry's revolver and carries it with him from then on.
M2A1-7 Flamethrower
This flamethrower is used by several members of the team throughout the movie. Palmer uses a different flamethrower. The "other" flamethrowers appear to be those propane powered models sold currently, used for burning weeds, removing ice from planes and other equipment, the flame on those is very short though, at max usually 7 feet.
Thermite Grenade
It can not be conclusively said to be a Thermite grenade but this can be assumed due to the cylinder shape and the explosions produce a lot of sparks. We also know that the Norwegians had Thermite charges. This grenade is used by one of the Norwegians. It slips from his hand, and on explosion it kills his colleague and destroys the helicopter.
Dynamite
MacReady and some other survivors are seen using what apears to be Dynamite. Most notable when MacReady grabs a bundle so nobody will they attack or burn him. The survivors fashion the dynamite to their chests with a improvised holder.
Molotov Cocktail
MacReady and the survivors are seen using Molotov Cocktails to burn most of the compound.
