Smith & Wesson Model 29

A Smith & Wesson Model 29 is presented to Jack (Kurt Russell) by Egg Shen (Victor Wong) just before the final battle with Lo Pan. When explaining guns will do no good against Lo Pan, Egg removes the weapon (which had a 10⅝" barrel which was offered on the Model 29) to Jack saying "Here. This will make you feel better... like Dirty Harry" (the joke being that the movie also takes place in San Francisco).

Smith & Wesson Model 36 "Chiefs Special"

Eddie (Donald Li) ends up getting stuck with the Smith & Wesson Model 36 during the escape from Lo Pan's prison. Wang Chi (Dennis Dun) first tries to give it to Jack Burton. Jack trades it back to Wang for the TEC-9. Wang Chi then trades it to Eddie and gets the shotgun.

Submachine Guns

Intratec TEC-9

Jack Burton's (Kurt Russell) main weapon during the movie is a Intratec TEC-9 (aside from his Gerber TAC boot knife). He recovers it from one of the Wing Kong in Lo Pan's underground dungeon when Jack knocks two of them out when flying back in the wheelchair he's in. Burton acquires the weapon after trading Wang Chi (Dennis Dun) the Smith & Wesson Model 36 given to him by Wang. Wang then trades the S&W Model 36 to Eddie for the Double Barreled shotgun.

When the three storms show up, one of the Chang Sings uses a Micro Uzi but it's no use. Since he fires only single shots it should be assumed he is armed with an Uzi pistol instead.
