Webley Green

Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) uses a Webley Green revolver as his weapon of choice in this film. During the Plane Scene, he considers using it to shoot the German Plane, only to find it with no ammo. It was previously believed that he carried a Webley Mk VI but that has now been disproven.

Walther P38

The Walther P38 is a very common weapon in this film, used by a large majority of the German Soldiers and Officers. It is also seen used by Indy during the Tank scene, using one to shoot 3 or 4 German Soldiers in a row.

Walther PPK

Walter Donovan (Julian Glover) carries a Walther PPK as his sidearm. He uses it to shoot Indy's Father (Sean Connery), in order to get Indy to retrieve the Holy Grail for the Germans. It is interesting to note that Sean Connery carried the same Walther PPK as "James Bond" in the "007" films. Another weapon of this model is used by the German Communications Officer that spots Indy and his father during the fire scene.

MP40

The German Soldiers in the Castle all use MP40 SMGs as their weapon of choice. Indy takes one from a German Officer and uses it to gun down the German Soldiers that threaten him and his father, he later drops it when Vogel holds Elsa Schneider (Alison Doody) at gunpoint, before she reveals her allegiance to the Germans.

As the film is set in 1938 this would be an anachronism, but artistic license could be claimed by saying they are meant to depict the earlier MP38 (which would be less available as a prop). At least the use of MP28 & MP35 SMGs lends more accuracy than the universal use of MP38/40's in Raiders of the Lost Ark set in 1936

Villar-Perosa Mod 15

In the scene where Indy and his father escape the Zeplin, they are attacked by 2 German fighter airplanes. Indy's Father uses a Villar-Perosa Mod 15 mounted on the biplane to try and hold off the fighters, but accidentally shoots the biplane's tail - While the gun is clearly SUPPOSED to be a Villar Perosa Mod 15, the actual prop used was built by mating two upside-down Beretta Mod 38/42 submachine guns. This explains the straight magazines and why it really doesn't look too much like a Villar Perosa . . .
