Rifles

Colt M4A1

M4A1 carbines with RIS foregrip are used by both Sugar and Ray. NOPD officers are possibly also seen with this rifle, but the pouring rain on the street does not allow a conclusive identification.

Colt Sporter I

Spoonie (Luis Da Silva Jr.) carries a Colt AR-15 Sporter Carbine carbine as his side arm during the robbery. It can be easily identified by the slabside receiver and the barrel length.

Bushmaster M17S (prop)

At the start of the robbery, Sugar jumps across a counter. For a few seconds, his M4A1 carbine becomes a prop resembling the Bushmaster M17S, probably for safety reasons.
