Colt MK IV Series 80
Unlike other officer and soldiers, 1st Lieutenant John McKay (Dan Gauthier) carries a blued Colt MK IV Series 80 with pearl grips that he keeps in a shoulder holster. This is anachronistic for the time period of the series, as the MK IV Series 80 was first produced in 1983.

NVA officers and some other characters can be seen armed with the Tokarev TT-33 pistols.
Walther PPK
A Walther PPK appears to be the pistol seen in the hands of Lt. Beller at the end of "Three Cheers for the Orange, White and Blue" (S3E19).

MGC Replica M16
In the scenes where blank-firing weapons were not needed, US soldiers often are seen carrying MGC M16 Replica rifles..
Colt XM177 (Colt Sporter Carbine)
A Colt Sporter Carbine modified to resemble the XM177 rifle is mainly seen being used by SFC Clayton "Zeke" Anderson (Terence Knox). For the remainder of the series, the Colt is loaded with the more accurate 20 round magazine.

M2 Carbine
The M2 Carbine was used by Sgt. Marcus Taylor (Miguel A. Nunez, Jr.) in some of the SOG missions.
AKM
The AKM is one of the primary rifles used by VC and NVA forces in the series as well. While on SOG missions, Goldman usually carried this rifle.
AKMS
In later episodes, Goldman carries an AKMS. This also appears to be carried by Col. Brewster (Carl Weathers) in "Thanks for the Memories" (S3E08).
Norinco Type 56-1
The Norinco Type 56-1 fitted with a drum magazine is seen in the hands of Goldman in "Acceptable Losses" (S3E14). In "War is a Contact Sport" (S3E18), an NVA tank gunner atop a T-55 is seen using one that's fitted with a drum magazine.

Valmet M78
In "World in Changes" (S3E10), a VC sniper is seen using a Valmet M78 fitted with a Dragunov-esque stock as well as a scope. The same VC sniper appears to change to using a Dragunov in the later episode "Acceptable Losses" (S3E14).
SVD Dragunov
The SVD Dragunov is seen used by a VC sniper in "Acceptable Losses" (S3E14). This appears to be a continuity error as a different rifle was used by the sniper in in "World in Changes" (S3E10).
Submachine Guns
Smith & Wesson M76
The Smith & Wesson M76 is seen used by Pvt. Ruiz (Ramon Franco) on some SOG missions. A bit of trivia: In 1966, the Swedish government blocked the sales of arms to the US as a protest against US involvement in the Vietnam conflict. As a result, Smith and Wesson created a clone of the Swedish M/45 which became known as the M76 on its release in 1967.
Carl Gustav M45
The Carl Gustav M/45 is used by Cpl. Danny Purcell (Tony Becker) and CIA Agent Duke Fontaine (Patrick Kilpatrick) on some SOG missions. The US forces in Vietnam used "deniable" weapons for some ops, which included the Carl Gustav.
