MP5K/SP89
- It's actually an MP5K, note the SEF trigger group (which can be added to SP89s, but is a pain), the paddle magazine release, the push-pin lower receiver. - Gunmaster45
- Just a note, all of the SP89s converted to auto fire in Cinema Weaponry's inventory all had the SEF lowers installed after the fact by Mike Papac, so now they can't be distinguished from the early SP89 conversions. I have the only un-upgraded SP89 conversion left :) Back to the movie, note that the paddle release is missing, heavily implying that it is a 99% converted SP89.

- I have to disagree with you, I can see paddle magazine releases in the images, and you can see the guns have push pin lower receivers. Maybe if they went the extra mile and added the fake paddle magazine releases they could be SP89s, but I think they are actual MP5Ks. - Gunmaster45

I'd have to agree with Gunmaster45. If you look in the cap below, the gun Ramada is holding looks like it has a paddle mag release. --Funkychinaman (talk) 23:30, 10 October 2012 (EDT)

RPG?
What do you think the hump on the launcher is covering? Is this a different launcher? --Ben41 (talk)

Rabinowitz' M16
In the shot of him with the M16 SP1, it has an actual M203 judging by the trigger guard. The M16A1 in the following screencaps, however, have the fake M203 from Predator and Scarface. Spartan198 (talk) 08:59, 16 September 2018 (EDT)
