'''''Desperado''''' is the 1995 sequel to the 1992 action film ''[[El Mariachi]]''. The film was also directed by [[Robert Rodriguez]] and stars [[Antonio Banderas]] as the gun for hire and vigilante known as the "Mariachi", who keeps his firepower hidden in his guitar case. Rodriguez and Banderas would complete the ''Mexico Trilogy'' with 2003's ''[[Once Upon a Time in Mexico]]''. | |||

==Ruger KP90== | |||
El Mariachi ([[Antonio Banderas]]) packs matching [[Ruger KP90]]s as his main weapons in the film. Tavo ([[Tito Larriva]]) fires a Ruger KP90 at El Mariachi ([[Antonio Banderas]]) as he flees the shootout at the Tarasco bar. It's likely that it's one of [[Antonio Banderas|Banderas']] KP90s simply being reused in a different scene. The Ruger KP90 is also the pistol Tavo ([[Tito Larriva]]) uses to put a bullet through The Pick Up Guy's ([[Quentin Tarantino]]) head. | |||

== Colt Mark IV Series 80 == | |||
Bucho ([[Joaquim de Almeida]]) uses a [[Colt Mark IV Series 80]] as his weapon of choice in the film. Other M1911 types make some appearances in the film as well. | |||
[[Image:ColtGovernmentModel.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Colt Government Model M1911A1 - .45 ACP]] | |||
[[Image:DesperadoM1911A1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Moco ([[Peter Marquardt]]) from the first film shoots El Mariachi's hand with an M1911A1 pistol. This is something of an error, as Moco actually used a [[Browning Hi-Power]] in this scene in ''[[El Mariachi]]''.]] | |||

== Beretta 92FS Inox == | |||
The pony-tailed gangster uses a [[Beretta 92FS Inox]] pistol with ivory grips to hold up El Mariachi in the bar. Some random thugs are seen using them as well. | |||
[[Image:Beretta-Inox.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Beretta 92FS Inox - 9x19mm]] | |||

== Wildey Magnum == | |||
El Mariachi ([[Antonio Banderas]]) carries a scoped [[Wildey Magnum]] pistol in his guitar case. One of Bucho's hitmen is also seen carrying a Wildey Magnum. | |||
[[Image:475Wildey.jpg|thumb|none|375px|Wildey Magnum - .475 Magnum.]] | |||

[[Image:DesperadoWildeyMagnum-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|El Mariachi with his Wildey.]] | |||
== Taurus PT99 == | |||
Empty Gun Man ([[Diego Sandoval]]) brings a suppressed [[Taurus PT99]] to the Tarasco bar shootout. El Mariachi is later seen with the same PT99 in his guitar case later, although it lacks the suppressor. It is noted as a Taurus PT99 based on its frame mounted safety and raised adjustable sights. | |||

==Smith & Wesson Model 66 Snub== | |||
An snub-nose [[Smith & Wesson Model 66]] revolver with rubber grips is seen in El Mariachi's guitar case and in some thugs' pants, but is never used. | |||
[[Image:Mod66wPachmayr.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Smith & Wesson Model 66 snub - .357 Magnum]] | |||
[[Image:DesperadoAssortedWeapons-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A S&W Model 66 is seen in Mariachi's guitar case.]] | |||
[[Image:Desperadosnubrevolver.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The same snub Model 66 is seen in this thug's pants.]] | |||
==LAR Grizzly Win Mag== | |||
Broken Leg Thug ([[Robert Arevalo]]) uses an [[LAR Grizzly Win Mag]] with a stainless steel finish and a barrel bushing compensator as his weapon of choice in the film. | |||
[[Image:3ecb78674deb2746bd03dd71b60ca782.jpg|thumb|none|350px|LAR Grizzly Win Mag - .45 Winchester Magnum]] | |||
[[Image:DesperadoGrizzly-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A thug fires his LAR Grizzly Win Mag at Navajas ([[Danny Trejo]]) through the window of the armored limo.]] | |||

[[Image:DesperadoGrizzly-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Grizzly Win Mag is seen in Shrug's ([[Mike Moroff]]) pants since his usual [[Desert Eagle]] was nowhere to be seen. Right Hand's ([[Carlos Gomez]]) Desert Eagle is used by Bucho to kill Shrug.]] | |||
[[Image:DesperadoGrizzly-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Broken Leg Thug fires his Grizzly Win Mag during the final showdown.]] | |||
== Desert Eagle Mark XIX == | |||
Tavo ([[Tito Larriva]]) fires a black [[Desert Eagle Mark XIX]] in .50 AE (determined by bore diameter) at El Mariachi ([[Antonio Banderas]]) as he flees the shootout at the Tarasco bar. Bucho ([[Joaquim de Almeida]]) also begins to kill his own men, including Shrug ([[Mike Moroff]]), with the same black Desert Eagle, which in this case was taken from Right Hand ([[Carlos Gomez]]). El Mariachi ([[Antonio Banderas]]) later kills one of Bucho's henchmen on the roof of Carolina's ([[Salma Hayek]]) bookstore, who is holding the same black Desert Eagle. | |||
While the Desert Eagle had appeared in many action movies by this time, ''[[Desperado]]'' appears to the very first film ever to feature the latest Mark XIX variant in .50 AE (which was brand-new in 1995). | |||

[[Image:DesperadoDesertEagle-8.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Right Hand fires his Desert Eagle at Carolina ([[Salma Hayek]]) during the final showdown.]] | |||
== Beretta 93R == | |||
Bucho ([[Joaquim de Almeida]]) seems to have a taste for exotic pistols- the [[Beretta 93R]] he carries is a very rare version of Beretta's popular [[Beretta M92F|92]] model capable of 3-round burst fire. Bucho's ([[Joaquim de Almeida]]) Beretta 93R is taken by Zamira ([[Angel Aviles]]), who makes use of its burst fire capability in the attack on Navajas ([[Danny Trejo]]). The Beretta 93R is later reused by one of Bucho's henchmen who fires at El Mariachi as he jumps from the roof of Bucho's book store with Carolina ([[Salma Hayek]]), the manager of the book store Bucho built. | |||
[[Image:Beretta_M93.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Beretta 93R - 9x19mm]] | |||
[[Image:Desp-93R.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Bucho test fires the 93R on the sunroof of the armored limo while Shrug ([[Mike Moroff]]) was in harm's way to see if it's armored.]] | |||

[[Image:DesperadoM93R-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A thug fires his Beretta 93R at El Mariachi on the rooftop.]] | |||
== Codpiece Revolver == | |||
Although never seen fired, the [[Codpiece Revolver]] is one of the few firearms in the film with dialogue devoted to it. A similar codpiece revolver was later used in Robert Rodriguez's film ''[[From Dusk Till Dawn]]'', although it was a slightly more complex piece able to fold away when not in use. Originally, a scene was shot where El Mariachi used the codpiece, which was hidden under his pants, to shoot Ponytail Thug, before whipping out his Ruger KP90s and finishing him. | |||
[[Image:Desp-Cod.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Rodriguez's infamous Codpiece Revolver.]] | |||
== Smith & Wesson Model 19 == | |||
The Tarasco bartender ([[Cheech Marin]]) uses a suppressed [[Smith & Wesson Model 19]] revolver. In reality, very few revolvers can be sound suppressed because of the gap between the cylinder and barrel. The Russian [[Nagant M1895]] revolver is one of the rare revolvers that can be sound suppressed. Upon firing, the cylinder moves forward and seal with the barrel, leaving no gap. You can see it [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvF4yurWSc0 here]. | |||

=Shotguns= | |||
== Rossi Overland Sawed-Off Shotgun == | |||
El Mariachi ([[Antonio Banderas]]) also uses a [[Rossi Overland|Rossi Overland Sawed-Off Double Barreled Shotgun]] as one of his main weapons in the film and can be seen firing up to six rounds from two barrels thanks to movie magic. It was built and supplied by Stembridge Gun Rentals. El Mariachi lends the shotgun to Carolina ([[Salma Hayek]]) during the attack at her bookstore. | |||

[[Image:DesperadoSawedoff-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|El Mariachi fires his sawed-off shotgun along with his Ruger KP90.]] | |||
== Sentinel Arms Stryker 12 == | |||
In the shootout at the Oro Verde bar in Saragosa, El Mariachi pulls out a [[Armsel Striker and variants#Armsel Striker|Sentinel Arms Stryker 12]], along with the sawed off 12 Gauge, that Buscemi described as "the biggest hand cannon I've ever fucking seen". El Mariachi uses it to send several thugs flying unrealistically through the air, although it's worth noting the sequence is a fabricated ruse being told by Buscemi to unnerve his audience, so it's likely exaggerated on purpose. Sadly, it is the only time El Mariachi uses the weapon. A thug later in the film is seen using it, but very briefly. | |||

[[Image:DesperadoStryker-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A thug fires a Stryker 12.]] | |||
==Remington 870== | |||
Some thugs in the film use a [[Remington 870]] with a sawed-down pistol grip, extended magazine tube, and a heat-shield similar to the gun used by [[Denzel Washington]] in ''[[Training Day]]''. | |||
[[Image:Remiongton Heatshield.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Remington 870 with a heatshield - 12 Gauge]] | |||

=Submachine Guns= | |||
== MAC-10 == | |||
Most of Bucho's ([[Joaquim de Almeida]]) men are armed with suppressed [[MAC-10]]s that are most prominently featured in the Tarasco bar shootout, some with mock Sionics two-stage sound suppressors, some without. You will recognize the scene between El Mariachi ([[Antonio Banderas]]) and "Empty Gun Man" ([[Diego Sandoval]]) as inspiration for a similar scene between Agent Smith ([[Hugo Weaving]]) and Neo ([[Keanu Reeves]]) in ''[[The Matrix]]''. | |||

== Colt Commando == | |||
Bucho's ([[Joaquim de Almeida]]) men carry and fire the same [[Colt Commando]] carbine in several scenes. | |||

=Grenades= | |||
==M26 "Lemon" Hand grenade== | |||
El Mariachi takes two [[M26 hand grenade]]s from his guitar case on the rooftop, pulls the pins with his teeth (despite the 5lb pin pull) and then throws them at the two men on the street below. The grenades that are dropped appear to be rubber props, and notably still have their spoons attached. The grenades make a ridiculously large fireball instead of a more realistic explosion. | |||
[[Image:200px-M-67handgrenade.jpg|thumb|none|300px|M26 "Lemon" hand grenade]] | |||

==M67 "Baseball" Hand grenade== | |||
Some [[M67 hand grenade]]s are seen in El Mariachi's guitar case. These are actually empty M69 training grenade bodies: this can be seen when he jostles the guitar case while grabbing the two M26s, and one of the grenades rolls over and shows the hole in its base. | |||

=Guitar Case Weapon Systems= | |||
== Guitar Case MAC-10 == | |||
Campa ([[Carlos Gallardo]], who was El Mariachi in the [[El Mariachi|original film]]) shows up to the firefight with a pair of guitar case machine guns. Robert Rodriguez has commented that the guitar case machine guns were built from [[MAC-10]]s. The sound effects used appear to based off the [[M134 minigun]]. | |||
[[Image:IngramMAC10.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Ingram MAC-10 - .45 ACP.]] | |||
[[Image:Desp-MG.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Campa unloads a pair of Guitar Cases at Bucho's men.]] | |||

Desperado is the 1995 sequel to the 1992 action film El Mariachi. The film was also directed by Robert Rodriguez and stars Antonio Banderas as the gun for hire and vigilante known as the "Mariachi", who keeps his firepower hidden in his guitar case. Rodriguez and Banderas would complete the Mexico Trilogy with 2003's Once Upon a Time in Mexico.
The following weapons were used in the film Desperado:
Error creating thumbnail: File missing WARNING! Major spoilers!
Handguns
Ruger KP90
El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) packs matching Ruger KP90s as his main weapons in the film. Tavo (Tito Larriva) fires a Ruger KP90 at El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) as he flees the shootout at the Tarasco bar. It's likely that it's one of Banderas' KP90s simply being reused in a different scene. The Ruger KP90 is also the pistol Tavo (Tito Larriva) uses to put a bullet through The Pick Up Guy's (Quentin Tarantino) head.
Colt Mark IV Series 80
Bucho (Joaquim de Almeida) uses a Colt Mark IV Series 80 as his weapon of choice in the film. Other M1911 types make some appearances in the film as well.
Bucho prepares to kill Carolina (Salma Hayek).
Beretta 92FS Inox
The pony-tailed gangster uses a Beretta 92FS Inox pistol with ivory grips to hold up El Mariachi in the bar. Some random thugs are seen using them as well.
Wildey Magnum
El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) carries a scoped Wildey Magnum pistol in his guitar case. One of Bucho's hitmen is also seen carrying a Wildey Magnum.
Taurus PT99
Empty Gun Man (Diego Sandoval) brings a suppressed Taurus PT99 to the Tarasco bar shootout. El Mariachi is later seen with the same PT99 in his guitar case later, although it lacks the suppressor. It is noted as a Taurus PT99 based on its frame mounted safety and raised adjustable sights.
Smith & Wesson Model 66 Snub
An snub-nose Smith & Wesson Model 66 revolver with rubber grips is seen in El Mariachi's guitar case and in some thugs' pants, but is never used.
LAR Grizzly Win Mag
Broken Leg Thug (Robert Arevalo) uses an LAR Grizzly Win Mag with a stainless steel finish and a barrel bushing compensator as his weapon of choice in the film.
Desert Eagle Mark XIX
Tavo (Tito Larriva) fires a black Desert Eagle Mark XIX in .50 AE (determined by bore diameter) at El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) as he flees the shootout at the Tarasco bar. Bucho (Joaquim de Almeida) also begins to kill his own men, including Shrug (Mike Moroff), with the same black Desert Eagle, which in this case was taken from Right Hand (Carlos Gomez). El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) later kills one of Bucho's henchmen on the roof of Carolina's (Salma Hayek) bookstore, who is holding the same black Desert Eagle.
While the Desert Eagle had appeared in many action movies by this time, Desperado appears to the very first film ever to feature the latest Mark XIX variant in .50 AE (which was brand-new in 1995).
Beretta 93R
Bucho (Joaquim de Almeida) seems to have a taste for exotic pistols- the Beretta 93R he carries is a very rare version of Beretta's popular 92 model capable of 3-round burst fire. Bucho's (Joaquim de Almeida) Beretta 93R is taken by Zamira (Angel Aviles), who makes use of its burst fire capability in the attack on Navajas (Danny Trejo). The Beretta 93R is later reused by one of Bucho's henchmen who fires at El Mariachi as he jumps from the roof of Bucho's book store with Carolina (Salma Hayek), the manager of the book store Bucho built.
Codpiece Revolver
Although never seen fired, the Codpiece Revolver is one of the few firearms in the film with dialogue devoted to it. A similar codpiece revolver was later used in Robert Rodriguez's film From Dusk Till Dawn, although it was a slightly more complex piece able to fold away when not in use. Originally, a scene was shot where El Mariachi used the codpiece, which was hidden under his pants, to shoot Ponytail Thug, before whipping out his Ruger KP90s and finishing him.
Smith & Wesson Model 19
The Tarasco bartender (Cheech Marin) uses a suppressed Smith & Wesson Model 19 revolver. In reality, very few revolvers can be sound suppressed because of the gap between the cylinder and barrel. The Russian Nagant M1895 revolver is one of the rare revolvers that can be sound suppressed. Upon firing, the cylinder moves forward and seal with the barrel, leaving no gap. You can see it here.
Shotguns
Rossi Overland Sawed-Off Shotgun
El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) also uses a Rossi Overland Sawed-Off Double Barreled Shotgun as one of his main weapons in the film and can be seen firing up to six rounds from two barrels thanks to movie magic. It was built and supplied by Stembridge Gun Rentals. El Mariachi lends the shotgun to Carolina (Salma Hayek) during the attack at her bookstore.
Sentinel Arms Stryker 12
In the shootout at the Oro Verde bar in Saragosa, El Mariachi pulls out a Sentinel Arms Stryker 12, along with the sawed off 12 Gauge, that Buscemi described as "the biggest hand cannon I've ever fucking seen". El Mariachi uses it to send several thugs flying unrealistically through the air, although it's worth noting the sequence is a fabricated ruse being told by Buscemi to unnerve his audience, so it's likely exaggerated on purpose. Sadly, it is the only time El Mariachi uses the weapon. A thug later in the film is seen using it, but very briefly.
Remington 870
Some thugs in the film use a Remington 870 with a sawed-down pistol grip, extended magazine tube, and a heat-shield similar to the gun used by Denzel Washington in Training Day.
Submachine Guns
MAC-10
Most of Bucho's (Joaquim de Almeida) men are armed with suppressed MAC-10s that are most prominently featured in the Tarasco bar shootout, some with mock Sionics two-stage sound suppressors, some without. You will recognize the scene between El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) and "Empty Gun Man" (Diego Sandoval) as inspiration for a similar scene between Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) and Neo (Keanu Reeves) in The Matrix.
Mariachi with a MAC-10.
Assault Rifles
Colt Commando
Bucho's (Joaquim de Almeida) men carry and fire the same Colt Commando carbine in several scenes.
Grenades
M26 "Lemon" Hand grenade
El Mariachi takes two M26 hand grenades from his guitar case on the rooftop, pulls the pins with his teeth (despite the 5lb pin pull) and then throws them at the two men on the street below. The grenades that are dropped appear to be rubber props, and notably still have their spoons attached. The grenades make a ridiculously large fireball instead of a more realistic explosion.
M67 "Baseball" Hand grenade
Some M67 hand grenades are seen in El Mariachi's guitar case. These are actually empty M69 training grenade bodies: this can be seen when he jostles the guitar case while grabbing the two M26s, and one of the grenades rolls over and shows the hole in its base.
Guitar Case Weapon Systems
Guitar Case MAC-10
Campa (Carlos Gallardo, who was El Mariachi in the original film) shows up to the firefight with a pair of guitar case machine guns. Robert Rodriguez has commented that the guitar case machine guns were built from MAC-10s. The sound effects used appear to based off the M134 minigun.
Guitar Case Rocket Launcher
Quino (Albert Michel Jr.) brings a rocket launcher inside of a guitar case to greet Bucho's men.
