Raiders of the Lost Ark
The following guns can be seen in Raiders of the Lost Ark:
RPG-2
Near the climax of the film, Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) points a shoulder-fired anti-tank weapon at the ark while it is being transported by the Nazis and threatens to blow it up. The weapon is actually a Chinese Type 56 copy of the Soviet RPG-2 made to look like a WWII-era German anti-tank weapon (it features a Panzerschreck-style shoulder grip). Since neither the Panzerschreck nor the Panzerfaust existed in 1936 (when the movie takes place), he should not have a weapon like this.
Nordenfelt gun
A twin barrel Nordenfelt gun is seen mounted at the rear turret of the 'Flying Wing' plane.
MP40
Many of the Nazis use MP40 submachine guns in this movie, which is not appropriate since the film is set in 1936 and neither the MP40 nor its more expensive predecessor, the MP38, existed at the time.
Mauser C96
Famous 'Broomhandle' pistol of 7.63mm or 9mm calibre with a 10 round magazine. Historically accurate as developed in the 1890's and used by Marion (Karen Allen) to shoot the last Nepalese Nazi Stooge on the bar brawl.

Mauser Ka98
Bolt action rifle used by Nazi troops and Egyptian hired guns throughout the film. Developed in 1898 so accurate in the film
MG 38
Belt fed machine gun seen mounted on various Nazi vehicles in the film (with optional 50 round 'snail' type magazines). An anachronism as not developed until 1938

Smith and Wesson Hand Ejector Model 2
Indy used two of them in the movie on was A .45 acp and the other
