Black Hawk Down
The following guns were used in the film Black Hawk Down
Browning M2
The opening firefight in Black Hawk Down is a one sided affair in which a local militia leader orders the firing on of a crowd gathered to receive UN food rations while US forces can only look on helplessly. Ironically the weapon used to fire on the crowd, a Browning M2 .50 BMG machine gun, is of US design and manufacture and is also carried on the US Army HMMWVs in the film. Whether the use of the Browning M2 was an intentional choice by the filmmakers, is historically accurate, or was simply a coincidence is unknown.
GE M134 Minigun
During the slaughter of the crowd the Delta in the hovering UH-60 aren't cleared to open up the 6 barreled 7.62x51mm GE M134 minigun hanging off their Black Hawk. GE M134 pylon mounted miniguns are also carried by the MH-6 Little Birds and rain lead in several scenes.
M260 Rocket Launcher
The MH-6 that helps stop Atto's (George Harris) convoy carries a pair of M260 seven-tube 2.75 inch rocket launchers.
Colt M733
Busch (Richard Tyson) is the first Delta member on screen, and also the first soldier we see carrying a version of the Black Rifle, a Colt Commando M733. All Delta members carry an M733.
M60 Machine Gun
Army Ranger Nelson (Ewen Bremner) carries a belt fed M60 machine gun chambered in 7.62mm NATO.
Heckler & Koch G3A3
The local militia arm themselves with, among many other weapons, Heckler & Koch (G3A3) assault rifles chambered in 7.62mm NATO.
DShKM Machine Gun
A vehicle mounted Russian DShKM 38/46 machine gun appears in several scenes of Black Hawk Down.
RPG-7
The Russian manufactured RPG-7 features prominently in Black Hawk Down as it is the weapon which brings down a pair of
M-249 SAW
Several rangers carry 5.56mm belt fed M-249 SAWs throughout Black Hawk Down.
M16A2
Eversmann (Josh Hartnett) leads his Rangers in Black Hawk Down armed, like most of them, with an M16A2.
M21
The M21 is an accurized semi-automatic 7.62mm NATO M14 rifle that served as the official Army sniper rifle until 1988 before being replaced by the Remington 700 based bolt-action M24. Despite being officially replaced the M21 was fielded in both gulf wars and continues to be fielded by US Army and special forces around the world today.
AK-47
There are so many AK-47s in Black Hawk Down I doubt any other film has ever had more on screen. It's safe to assume the rifle you see almost every Skinny carry and fire is an AK-47. You'll see AK-47s with and without stocks, with and without foregrips, with and without folding stocks and every permutation in between.

M203
We see many Army Rangers with M203 grenade launchers attached to their M16A2 rifles, the most notable of which is Grimes (Ewan McGregor) who assists Delta in taking out a Skinny manned fifty-cal that has them pinned down.
