Colonel James Braddock (Chuck Norris) opens fire with the G3A4. Notice from the muzzle flare how the rifle barrel doesn't actually seem to be attached to the front of the weapon. This would be a good way for Braddock to catch a ricochet in the face. Note the muzzle of the AN/M5: it appears to be fitted with some kind of caliber adaptor or barrel insert.
M16A1
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.

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" Mil Mi-24P "Hind-F" Gunship
The "Mi-24 Hind" seen in the film is in reality a mocked-up Sikorsky S-62. To this end, the helicopter has been fitted with wings, faux rocket pods and missiles, and a fake (and apparently non-functional) side-mounted cannon near the nose which is presumably supposed to be a Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-2K (making it a Hind-F variant), although any resemblance to the Russian original is still only superficial at best. This modified helicopter also appears to have been used in the Gary Busey action film Bulletproof (filmed the same year as Missing in Action III) and the 1989 Dolph Lundgren actioner Red Scorpion (where it is fitted with more extensive and slightly more convincing modifications).
"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 pylons.
