The Glock 17 is the most frequently seen weapon in the film, and is used by various points by Jon Man (Jay Chou), his brother Man Yeung (Nicholas Tse), various IDC agents, henchmen, and Malaysian police officers.
Fully-Automatic Glock 17
A Glock 17 converted to fully-automatic fire and with a 33 round magazine is used by Jon's International Defence Commission (IDC) partner Ross (Carl Ng) to protect Parker when their team is attacked during a mission in Jordan. Sean Wong uses one in Kuala Lumpur when battling IDC agents.
Glock 26
A Glock 26 is carried by Ice (Bing Bai) during a mission to protect a scientist in Jordan.
Heckler & Koch USP
Agent Sean Wong (Andy On) uses a Heckler & Koch USP when he betrays his comrades in Jordan. IDC agent Parker uses one as his main sidearm during the Jordanian escort mission.

Ice uses a Heckler & Koch MP5K with a PDW-style stock accessory rails and a red-dot sight in Jordan. Jon later uses a MP5K in the finale when he battles Wong's thugs aboard a cargo ship.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Heckler & Koch MP5A3s with Surefire weapon lights are used by Jordanian Public Security Force Unit 30 operators when they raid a terrorist hideout. A Royal Malaysian Navy PASKAL VBSS boarding team also uses MP5A3s when searching a freighter contaminated with smallpox, as do IDC agents. A thug in the finale uses a MP5A3 without any attachments.
Heckler & Koch MP5A2
Malaysian police officers use MP5A2s with Surefire weapon lights. IDC tactical teams also use the same SMG as their primary weapon.

A Jordanian PSF Unit 30 operator holds a short-barreled Remington 870 during an anti-terrorist raid.
Assault Rifles
AKMS
Most of the mercenaries who ambush the IDC agents in Jordan use AKMS rifles.
AKS-47
At least one of the mercenaries in Jordan uses an AKS-47.
Heckler & Koch G3A4
