Can't tell for sure as obviously I am just going by the trailer, but I do not think the gun choices are necessarily inappropriate as it is clear from several shots in the trailer that they use a time machine built in 1984 to travel forward to the present day like in "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles". The only guns that we know are from the 80's scenes are the ones that appear in scenes from the original movies. From my reckoning this means that they only weapons that are "period guns" are the Remington 1100, Barrett M82, Desert Eagle, and possibly the Remington 870 and CAR-15, and all of these are possible for that time.

Edit: Oh, and the Carl Gustav recoilless rifle in the scene in (I think) the 60s which again is period correct.
