Man on Fire is a 1987 Italian-French action thriller starring Scott Glenn as Christopher Creasy, a burnt-out former CIA operative who is hired to be the bodyguard of Samantha Balletto, the twelve-year-old daughter of a wealthy Italian businessman. Just as Creasy and Samantha become friends, she is kidnapped by the mafia. Suffering from a serious wound sustained during the kidnapping, a weakened Creasy is determined to get Samantha back at all costs. The film was based on the 1980 novel of the same name written by A. J. Quinnell, and would subsequently be remade as a 2004 feature film adaptation directed by Tony Scott and starring Denzel Washington as John Creasy.
The following weapons were used in the film Man on Fire (1987):
During the kidnapping one of the criminals is armed with a Benelli B76 pistol. A Benelli B76 is one of the handguns, used by Creasy (Scott Glenn) in his crusade. Creasy is also shown holding a B76 on the poster.
When Creasy performs his bodyguard duties, a Beretta M1934 is Creasy's (Scott Glenn) backup gun. In the final scene a police detective holds a Beretta M1934.
What appears to be a Beretta 80 Series pistol, is also seen in gun box. It's hard to identify the exact model though Beretta 85 seems to be a possible guess.
A Smith & Wesson Model 10 Snub Nose revolver is used by a kidnapper. Same looking revolver is seen in hands of another kidnapper, Violente (Lou Castel), in the scene in Sandri's hideout.
A Colt Python Snub Nose revolver is seen in the gun box. David (Joe Pesci) keeps it for himself. In the final scene a young criminal (Henri-Charles Alexandre) uses same looking revolver.
An M1928A1 Thompson (or possibly M1921) with 50-round drum magazine and removed buttstock is seen in Sandri's hideout.

It seems to have a horizontal handguard rather than a foregrip so M1928A1 is more likely guess.
MAT-49
In the flashback scene in Beirut one of the combatants holds a weapon that resembles a MAT-49.
One of Conti's henchmen holds a Manufrance Rapid with pistol grip (this grip is some aftermarket variant, possibly from Remington 870). Another Manufrance Rapid with full stock is seen in Sandri's hideout.
In the flashback scene in Beirut one of the combatants holds some version of M16. Several M16s of nondescript model are seen in Sandri's hideout. Three-prong flash hiders and the fact that the movie was filmed in Italy allows to guess that M16s are Italian produced .22 caliber Adler-Jäger AP-74s.
A subcompact M16-style carbine with folding stock and wooden furniture is seen in Sandri's hideout. It appears to be an Adler-Jäger AP-74/I, version of Adler-Jäger AP-74.
In the flashback scene in Beirut one of the combatants holds an AK variant. Its slim magazine allows to guess that it could be an Adler-Jäger AP-80, an Italian .22 LR replica of the AK-47.
