It is interesting to note that although the .45 Mancuso gives Ryan is in the classic leather holster Mancuso's is in the M12 Universal Military holster which was not available at the time the movie was set.

Makarov PM

The Makarov PM pistol appears in the film being wielded by the Red October's cook who ambushes the protagonists while they're attempting to evade the Konovalov, his attack fatally wounding Cpt. 2nd Rank Vasily Borodin (Sam Neill) and also wounding Captain Marko Ramius (Sean Connery) when he and Ryan pursue him.

AK-47

A Soviet Naval Infantryman in the Red October's conn can be seen armed with an AK-47. The AK-47 in the hands of the Naval Infantryman appears to be a Chinese Norinco Type 56 rifle (note the hooded foresight) standing in for a Russian AK rifle.

Norinco Type 56 (Imported into the U.S. as the Norinco AKS-47 or AKS-47 Sporter) - 7.62x39mm. This particular gun lacks the "pig sticker" bayonet seen on the model above, which was standard on PLA-issue Type 56s, but much rarer on the export versions.
