The weapons used in this movie are:

M9 Beretta

The Military adopted Beretta M92FS, the M9 was used as the standard side arm by the SEALs.

  • On another note, the original M9s were used by the real Navy SEALs in it's early days of adoption and flaws in the pistol's design became evident due to the extensive usage by the SEAL team members. Apparently later on, the Navy SEALs switched to the Sig Sauer P226 as a result of their dissatisfaction with the Beretta M92FS (M9).

This is a 92SB.

Stainless Beretta M92FS (Inox)

Ramos (Paul Sanchez) carries a Beretta Inox as a secondary weapon during the first raid. Somewhat unlikely since a SEAL team member would not carry a weapon that's so flashy in a night raid.

SIG P210

Used by a terrorist to execute a SIG P210 Pistol of the American Helicopter Crewmen.

Heckler & Koch MP5K is obvious in the hands of several SEAL team members. In reality NO SEAL team would ever conduct a 'surprise' live fire exercise around a civilian. It would not be tolerated by the U.S. Navy.

Remington 870

Used by Hawkins (Charlie Sheen) as a backup weapon and door breach gun.

Colt Commando

Used in three scenes in the movie, carried with an M203 in the mission where chief is killed. The most obvious shot is one where Lt. Curran (Michael Biehn) is carrying one. This movie is one of the very few films where we see an actual XM177 or GAU-4/A rifle (or a very close copy, being that the sound suppressor/flashhiders of the original XM177 were not good for blank firing guns, so many times an existing M16 rifle was custom modified to resemble the XM177. In the 1980s there were a slew of various aftermarket XM177 style flash hiders - some were very accurate, some were not.) At any rate, this is one of the most accurate portrayal of an XM177 in modern U.S. Cinema.

Barrett M82

Used by Dane, Codename "God", (Bill Paxton), the SEAL sniper to engage four targets during the hostage rescue mission and again during the Beirut mission. The weapon used is the first model Barrett, the M82 (the same used in the film RoboCop), outfitted with a Thermal Imaging Sight and a Night Vision Sight. The later version M82A1 is the most recognizable version of the semiautomatic Barrett Light Fifty rifle.

Contrary to popular belief SEALs do utilize the M82 .50 cal rifle for long range, and vehicle interdiction missions.

RPG-7

The RPG-7 is a rocket propelled grenade launcher used by the terrorists. The rockets show two distinct paint schemes, a darker green paint job, flaking off showing the original yellowish/OD Russian paint underneath.

AK-47

Shaheed's militia use both AKMs and what looks to be original AK47s. They appear to be milled receiver AKs with Russian Front sights and double tang back ends with the typical 'drop down' angled buttstock and the swivel sling on the body, not the stock. They could have been Poly-Technology Legend series of AKs that were imported during the 1980s (this movie was shot in 1989 and released in 1990) but the Legend series of rifles were of the Type 56 "Pig Sticker" bayonet style. Like in the more recent movie We Were Soldiers the armorers could have used Milled receiver bodies and assembled AKs from Russian Parts kits. Since this film was done in the 1980s when real Soviet/Russian weapons parts were illegal to import, they could have fabricated the parts themselves. Also the sequence that was supposed to be Beirut was shot in Spain, and the production could have used weapons provided by European Armorers (who at the time had no restrictions on acquiring Soviet/Russian guns)

AKS-47

The underfolding version of the AK-47 (also sometimes referred to as the AK47 Type 3B (Type 3 indicating type of receiver and B indicating folding metal stock). The underfolding AKS-47s in the movie are milled receiver Russian type guns, one of the few times we actually see real AK-47s (or really close copies) in a U.S. made film.

AKMS

Used extensively during the Beirut Mission by both SEALs and the Opposition Force fighters, the AKMS is the underfolding version of the AKM rifle. These could be converted Maadi ARM/MISR rifles imported into the U.S. or real Russian rifles provided by European Armory houses for the filming in Spain.
