-==Remington 870==
+==Beretta 92SB==
-Prison guards carry [[Remington 870]]s when the cons are being loaded onto the plane. Several 870s are also included in the arsenal located in the belly of the aircraft and are later broken out by the convicts.
+A [[Beretta 92SB]] pistol is carried by a cartel member (Eddie Pérez), noted by its rounded trigger guard.

-==M16A2==
+==Colt Woodsman "Assassin" Model==
-The cons take several [[M16A2]] assault rifles from the weapons stash. The rifles fire fully-automatic, which means that they are actually M16A2 upper receivers placed on full-auto lower M16A1 receivers, typical of all Hollywood "M16A2" rifles.
+One of cartel members ([[Thomas Rosales Jr.]]) carries a [[Colt Woodsman]] with both modified slide and barrel to thread a suppressor, commonly known as the "Assassin" model. Cameron Poe ([[Nicolas Cage]]) comments that the convicts would hear the shot, so he threads a suppressor on it. When Poe dispatches all the cartel members, he takes the gun for his own use, before dropping it diving from an explosion.

-==Rubber M16 prop==
+==Glock 17==
-When Cyrus throws down his empty M16A2, it changes to a rubber prop featuring the M16A1 style sights and lacking a forward assist, shell deflector, and magazine fencing. This means that the prop was mostly likely cast from a civilian AR15 Sporter-1 rifle fitted with A2-style handguards.
+Deputy US Marshal Vince Larkin ([[John Cusack]]) carries a 2nd generation [[Glock 17]] as his main sidearm.

-The National Guardsmen and some of the prison guards are armed with [[M16A1]] rifles fitted with M16A2 handguards.
