Kong: Skull Island is a 2017 monster action-adventure film directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts and is the second installment in the "Monsterverse" cinematic universe after 2014's Godzilla. The film follows a surveying team escorted by the United States Army sent to explore Skull Island only to encounter the titular creature, Kong. Set in 1973, all the weaponry and equipment are from late in the Vietnam War era. The cast includes Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, John Goodman, and John C. Reilly.


The following weapons were used in the film Kong: Skull Island:


SPOILERS.jpg WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!

Handguns

Colt 1902 Military Pistol

LTC Preston Packard (Samuel L. Jackson) carries what appears to be two Colt M1902 military pistols in a dual shoulder holster rig. He is seen pulling one on Bill Randa (John Goodman). The use of this pistol is an odd choice, since it was never adopted by the US military, and would be at least 45 years old by 1973, the time period for this film (although some M1911A1s, produced as early as 1924, and other designs such as the M1917 Revolver still in use were slightly older.) It is noteworthy, however, that officers often still carried their own 'unofficial' sidearms, even in the 70s.

Colt M1911A1

A young Lt. Hank Marlow (Will Brittain) wields the M1911A1 pistol at the film's beginning. Some of Packard's men carry the pistol in holsters throughout the film. The pistol also is carried by the older Harlow (John C. Reilly).

Mauser C96

The Mauser C96 is wielded by Gunpei Ikari (Miyavi), a Japanese Zero pilot, in the film's beginning. He only fires one shot before it jams.

Rifles/Carbines

M16A1

US soldiers as well as some scientists are seen with the M16A1. Captain James Conrad (Tom Hiddleston) carries the M16A1 throughout most of the film.

The M16A1 is seen in the hands of CWO Glenn Mills (Jason Mitchell).

M16/SP1

San (Jing Tian) as well as Captain James Conrad (Tom Hiddleston) sometimes are seen armed with M16/SP1s. Conrad's rifle appears to change to this model instead of the M16A1 in various scenes. By 1973, the M16A1 would've pretty much completely replaced this model of M16.

The original M16, the first version, firing in a 20-round magazine, adopted in large numbers by the U.S. Air Force in Vietnam. This has the original 3-prong flash hider. It would later be replaced by the upgraded M16A1 - 5.56x45mm

M14 Rifle

US Army MPs in front of the White House are seen armed with the M14. Packard (Samuel L. Jackson) also is seen carrying an M14 rifle, which in one scene mounts a scope that subsequently disappears for the rest of the movie.

AKM

Captain Cole (Shea Whigham) is seen carrying a AK-47-type rifle. He explains to Bill Randa (John Goodman) that he carries this instead of an M16 after he took it off a 50-year-old farmer who fought for the NVA who had surrendered after his village was destroyed. This rifle is likely an AKM. It can be distinguished by the stamped divot by the fire selector and the ribs on top of the receiver cover.

Machine Guns

M60

The M60 machine gun is seen mounted as door guns on the Bell UH-1 Iroquois (nicknamed "Huey" due to its original designation, HU-1) helicopters. Later, Reles (Eugene Cordero) is also seen carrying an M60.

Remington 870

During the sudden attack on the boat, as Conrad (Tom Hiddleston) reaches for his M16, a Remington 870 can briefly be seen in the background, possibly used as a stand-in for the Ithaca 37. One of the films' armorers confirmed the use of these shotguns while filming took place. (John C. Reilly) appears to be holding the shotgun in behind the scenes footage included on the blu-ray release, as well as (Corey Hawkins) in a publicity still photo.
