The M16A1 is first seen held by both ARVN and American soldiers during the fall of Saigon. It's also seen held by Thai border guards and US Army Green Berets at the border.
AK Variants
Both the Type-56 and the (AK-47) are used by Vietnamese soldiers. Colonel James Braddock (Chuck Norris) is seen a Norinco during his escape from the prison camp as well as when he is engaging General Quoc's Mil MI-24 Hind helicopter.
Machine Guns
M60 machine gun
The M60 is used throughout the film. The machine gun is first seen mounted as door guns on American Huey helicopters during the fall of Saigon. Vietnamese Huey helicopters also are armed with the M60. It's also mounted in guard towers at the Vietnamese camp.
Handguns
M1911A1
Col. Braddock is seen with an M1911A1 holstered during the fall of Saigon. Braddock then pulls one on the transport pilot as he and children make their escape from the camp. General Quoc (Aki Aleong) also uses one to fire at Braddock's plane.
Walther P38
General Quoc (Aki Aleong) pulls his Walther P38 during Braddock's escape.
Smith & Wesson Model 30
A Vietnamese guard pulls a Smith & Wesson Model 30 when confronted by Braddock.
Smith & Wesson Model 60
During the fall of Saigon, a Vietnamese man pulls a Smith & Wesson Model 60 when Braddock denies him access to the helicopter.
Shotguns
Winchester Model 1912
A Winchester Model 1912 shotgun appears to be used in a torture device inside the Vietnamese prison camp. It is seen welded onto a metal stand, with a cable tied around the trigger that leads to a pair of handcuffs from the ceiling.
Trivia
"Faux" Mi-24 Hind
The "Mi-24 Hind" seen in the film is in reality a Sikorsky S-62 mocked up with faux weapons platforms to resemble the Russian attack helicopter. The modified helicopter appears to also been used in the Gary Busey action film Bulletproof (1988) (filmed in the same year as this one) and the 1989 Dolph Lundgren actioner Red Scorpion.
"Faux" American Attack Helicopter
The US Army attack helicopter seen in the film appears to be a Sikorsky S-76A helicopter modified with gun pods mounted on weapons platforms.
