The first three screencaps are of the revolver Stan has in a scene near the beginning of the movie. The rest I believe to be a different gun from the latter part of the movie. See the quote in the fourth screencap.

. (Trivia: DeNiro requested a live bullet to be used in this scene to heighten the sense of danger. John Cazale, who played Stan, did not protest, yet compulsively and understandably checked that the bullet was not next in the chamber for the scene.)
Smith & Wesson M&P
The Viet Cong soldiers order the US soldiers to play Russian Roulette with a Smith & Wesson M&P revolver. Michael (Robert De Niro) notably uses it when he asks the Vietnamese soldiers to load three bullets in the gun, which he then uses to kill three soldiers and uses their weapons to dispatch the rest. It's identified as a Pre-Model 10 M&P from its hammer configuration. That is what is known as a "Long-Action" M&P. The "Long Action" was phased out in 1948. Smith & Wesson did not start numbering the models until 1957. By then the "Short Action" with the re-designed hammer was standard on all models.

Norinco Type 56
Norinco Type 56 rifles are used by the Vietcong. Michael (Robert De Niro) and Nick (Christopher Walken) both take one from them during the Russian Roulette scene and use them to dispatch them all.
