The following weapons were used in the film Michael Collins:
Handguns
Mauser C96
A Mauser C96 fitted with and without the optional shoulder stock by Michael Collins (Liam Neeson) in the 1916 Easter Rising scenes in the beginning. Two IRA assassins also uses the weapon to kill two respective police inspectors.
Colt New Service
Michael Collins uses a Colt New Service to threaten Ned Broy (Stephen Rea) outside a bar, and later by Liam Tobin (Brendan Gleeson) during the jailbreak scene.
Webley Mk VI
British officers, RIC Detectives and many IRA members including Michael Collins carry Webley Mk VIs throughout the film.
Webley Mk IV
Kitty Kiernan (Julia Roberts) pulls a Webley Mk IV on a potential assassin during the political rally scene. A second (probable) Webley IV is wielded by an assassin in the killings. Since the Mk. IV and V are so alike it's difficult to properly identify which model is used in some scenes.
Browning 1900
Both the Irish and British uses the Browning Model 1900. Vinny Byrne (Tom Murphy) uses a Model 1900 to shoot a British detective through a newspaper. A British detective is carrying one at his untimely death at the hands of a IRA assassin. Joe O'Reilly (Ian Hart) also uses one throughout the film.
Steyr 1912
Harry Boland (Aidan Quinn) uses a Steyr 1912 during the Civil War scenes in Dublin. It is also used by an IRA assassin in the Bloody Sunday scene.
Colt 1911
A Colt 1911 is used by Liam Tobin in the Bloody Sunday scene. Harry Boland takes one from an overzealous bodyguard during his confrontation with Collins.
Luger P08
Carried by an unknown IRA assassin who shoots a British secret service agent in his hotel room.
Rifles
Ross Mk.III
An IRA soldier can be seen surrendering a Ross Mk.III rifle in the Easter Rising scene.
Sharps Carbine
An Sharps Carbine is shown to Michael Collins and carried by an unknown IRA member during the raid on the police station in the beginning.
Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE)/Lee-Enfield Mk.I and MK.III
British and Irish forces throughout the film use Mk.III rifles. IRA soldiers can be seen carrying Lee-Enfield Mk.I rifles during the Easter Rising scene and the Civil War fighting in Dublin. The Mk.I makes several apperances but for the most part the shots are fuzzy due to the quick pace of the scenes and it is difficult getting a clear/sharp screenshot of it.
Mauser Gewehr 98
The Mauser Gewehr 1898 is seen at least twice in the movie. Once during the urban fighting in the Civil War and later an IRA soldier (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) uses a Gewehr 1898 at the end of the film.
Shotguns
12 Gauge Double-Barrelled Shotgun
12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotguns are used by various IRA soldiers throughout the movie including one sawed off shotgun.

Winchester Model 1897 Trench Shotgun
A Winchester Model 1897 Trench is carried by a Black and Tan arresting Ned Broy.
Submachine Guns
Bergmann MP18
A Bergmann MP18 is used by IRA members to assassinate three British secret service agents in a cafe.
M1921 Thompson
IRA members are seen using the M1921 Thompson submachine guns following Bloody Sunday and during the civil war fighting in Dublin. This is historically accurate, as the IRA bought some of the first Thompson guns off the production line. The movie version is the M1921A which lacks the compensator of the later M1921AC.
Heavy Weapons
Lewis Gun
The Lewis Gun is used by the Black And Tans, most noticeably to fire at Dublin tenements. Joe O'Reilly (Ian Hart) uses one mounted on an Irish Army troop truck.
