The following guns were used in the movie Apocalypse Now
M16A1
M16A1 Used by various characters throughout the film. While the 20 round magazine would be more correct for a Vietnam era film. Theirs are fitted with 30 rounders.
M60 machine gun
Mounted on both Col. Kilgore's choppers during the battle at Vinh Din Drop and the Navy PBR used by the crew to travel up river.
Browning M2
M1911A1
An M1911A1 is seen on Capt. Benjamin Willard (Martin Sheen) nightstand in hotel bedroom in Saigon at the start of the film. Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore (Robert Duvall) uses one as his sidearm throughout the movie.
M79 grenade launcher
An M79 grenade launcher is used by Roach (Herb Rice) to kill an NVA soldier hiding in the barbed wire during the scene at the Do Lung bridge. Roach had customized his with a tiger-strip paint job.
GE M134 Minigun
A GE M134 Minigun is seen door-mounted on one of the UH-1 Huey choppers during the famous raid scene. Being that the movie was filmed in the Philippines, they also supplied the helicopters which were outfitted with real guns. Since the weapons require no blank adaption to fire, all they needed was lots of blank ammunition to get the guns running.
ZU-23 AA Gun
AK-47
Simonov SKS
Winchester 1200
(Lt. Colby seems to be carrying a Winchester 1200.)
M1 Carbine
Most of the colonists seem to be armed with this weapon.
