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 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.

Most of the mercenaries who ambush the IDC agents in Jordan use AKMS rifles.
