Llama Comanche
Myron (Tim Roth) carries a Llama Comanche for most of the film. Braddock (John Hurt) later takes it and tosses it away.
Astra A-50
Braddock carries an Astra A-50 for most of the film. Myron briefly takes it.
Star Model C
Braddock carries a Star Model C as a backup weapon.
Star Z70
Spanish officers carry Star Z70 submachine guns.
M1911-type
Willie Parker's bodyguard Juan (Manuel de Benito) is armed with an M1911-type pistol, possibly a Star Model B. It's only seen very briefly.
Unidentifiable revolver
A British plainclothes officer checks his revolver in the prologue. It makes only a brief appearance, and given the glare of the windshield, proper identification is pretty much impossible. It appears to be some sort of side-break revolver.
