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 with with 40 round magazine used by the Norwegian to try and kill the infected dog while flying from the helicopter.

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 (Kurt Russell) 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.
AN/M14 Incendiary Grenade
The Norwegians use several AN/M14 incendiary grenades at the start of the film.
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. (In the second photo under Molotov cocktail below, you can see the survivors are using WW2 Thompson magazine pouches to hold the dynamite)
Molotov Cocktail
MacReady and the survivors are seen using Molotov Cocktails to burn most of the compound.
