M1911A1

At one point in the film, A.J. (Tyrese Gibson) pulls an M1911A1 when he discovers that someone has been taking more than their share of water. He later gives it to Frank Towns (Dennis Quaid) when the survivors make first contact with the nomads, Towns using it to kill most of the nomads when the encounter goes bad.

Webley Mk IV

One of the nomads can be seen using a Webley Mk IV revolver when the survivors' first contact with them goes bad, shooting and killing Rodney (Tony Curran) with it. Elliot (Giovanni Ribisi) then uses it to kill one of the surviving nomads the next day. Ian (Hugh Laurie) later holds it on Elliot when it's revealed that Elliot's plane-building skills are in fact based on scale models, not full-size aircraft, but has it taken away by Towns without a shot being fired.

AK-47

Several of the nomads can be seen with AK-47 rifles, casings of which are also found around what's left of Kyle (Bob Brown)'s body when Towns finds him while searching for Liddle (Scott Michael Campbell). Many of the AK-47s seen in the hands of the nomads are Chinese Type 56 assault rifles - both fixed stock and folding stock variants.
