== [[M1 Carbine|Iver Johnson Enforcer Pistol]] ==
'''''El Mariachi''''' is the 1992 Spanish language action film that marked the feature film directorial debut of [[Robert Rodriguez]].  Because the film was made in Mexico on an extremely low budget, some of the guns used in the production were real guns (not converted for blanks) taken from a local police station while others were either BB guns or other toy guns. Robert Rodriguez mentioned in the film's DVD commentary that since they were using blanks in firearms that were not blank-converted, they would often only be able to fire off one round before it jammed. The film was the first in Rodriguez's "Mariachi" trilogy, which includes ''[[Desperado]]'' and ''[[Once Upon a Time in Mexico]]''.
Seen wielded by the hitman of Moco and by one of Azul Thugs in the movie's opening.

El Mariachi ([[Carlos Gallardo]]) and the other hitmens uses [[MAC-10]] fitted with and without a sound suppressor throughout the film.
Azul carries a [[MAC-10]] fitted with a suppressor as one of the weapons in his guitar case. El Mariachi ([[Carlos Gallardo]]) then is seen taking the MAC-10 from the case and using it. Several of Moco's thugs are seen using [[MAC-10]]'s without a sound suppressor as well. The gun is frequently switched to other various guns in the many continuity errors in the film. It appears that due to the film's low budget, the MAC-10, the TEC-9 mini, and the Micro Uzi are the only submachine guns used in the film.

El Mariachi is the 1992 Spanish language action film that marked the feature film directorial debut of Robert Rodriguez. Because the film was made in Mexico on an extremely low budget, some of the guns used in the production were real guns (not converted for blanks) taken from a local police station while others were either BB guns or other toy guns. Robert Rodriguez mentioned in the film's DVD commentary that since they were using blanks in firearms that were not blank-converted, they would often only be able to fire off one round before it jammed. The film was the first in Rodriguez's "Mariachi" trilogy, which includes Desperado and Once Upon a Time in Mexico.
