The following guns were used in the movie Apocalypse Now
M16A1
M16A1s are used by various characters throughout the film. Since this film takes place in the early '70s, the introduction of the 30-round magazine is historically accurate.
M60 machine gun
M60 machine guns are used by Col. Kilgore's (Robert Duvall) gunners during the battle at Vinh Din Drop. Clean (Laurence Fishburne) is the M60 gunner on the Navy PBR. Chef (Fredric Forrest) is seen with it briefly while taking incoming arrows from natives, but switches to the single mounted M2.
M60D
M60D machine guns are mounted on Col. Kilgore's (Robert Duvall) choppers during the battle at Vinh Din Drop.
Browning M2HB
Browning M2HBs are single and double hand mounted on the Navy PBR. Chef (Fredric Forrest) is the rear gunner with the single mounted M2HB (nicknamed "Canned Heat"). Lance Johnson (Sam Bottoms) is the front gunner with double hand mounted M2's. While traveling on the river through the Do Lung Bridge two soldiers are seen firing an M2 trying to kill a single VC under all the dead VC bodies.
M1911A1
An M1911A1 is seen on Capt. Benjamin Willard (Martin Sheen) nightstand in hotel bedroom in Saigon at the start of the film. Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore (Robert Duvall) uses one as his sidearm throughout the movie.
M79 grenade launcher
An M79 grenade launcher is used by Roach (Herb Rice) to kill an NVA soldier hiding in the barbed wire during the scene at the Do Lung bridge. Roach had customized his with a tiger-strip paint job.
GE M134 Minigun
A GE M134 Minigun is seen door-mounted on one of the UH-1 Huey choppers during the famous raid scene. Being that the movie was filmed in the Philippines, they also supplied the helicopters which were outfitted with real guns. Since the weapons require no blank adaption to fire, all they needed was lots of blank ammunition to get the guns running.
DShK heavy machine gun (mock up)
NVA fire at the Huey helicopters with a DShK heavy machine gun, in reality a mocked up Browning M2HB machine gun.
Smith & Wesson Model 19 Snub
Chief Phillips (Albert Hall) draws his Smith & Wesson Model 19 with a 2" barrel while the fishermens' boat is being searched.
AK-47
Simonov SKS
Ithaca 37
Lt. Colby (Scott Glenn) carries an Ithaca 37 fitted with a heat shield and bayonet lug.
]]
M2 Carbine
Most of the colonists seem to be armed with the M2 Carbine.
MAT-49
A French Colonist is seen armed with a MAT-49.
Browning Automatic Rifle
A M1918A2 B.A.R. is seen on the shoulders of a French Colonist.
