M1 Carbine
While Lt. Harry Brubaker (William Holden) is trapped behind enemy lines, Mike Forney (Mickey Rooney) & Nestor Gamidge (Earl Holliman) go to rescue him, armed with Korean war standard M1 Carbine Rifles.

Korean Soldiers fire at Brubaker & Forey with a Soviet made Degtyaryov DP-27 drum-fed machine gun, killing Nestor Gamidge, before they are killed by Fighter plane machine guns.

Unidentified revolver
In addition to the unidentified rifles, one of the Korean soldiers killing Brubaker is armed with an unidentified nickel revolver, possibly a Webley variant.
