Pistols
Colt MK IV Series 70 Government Model
Mr. Longbaugh (Benicio del Toro) and Mr. Parker (Ryan Phillippe) use Colt Series 70 Government Model pistols as their main handguns. Used throughout the movie. Unlike most films where handguns are "Mexican carried", they carry theirs in IWB holsters which is a much safer and smarter way to carry. The Colts used in the film are 9mm caliber noted by the tapered barrels and crimp indention in the magazines.
Heckler & Koch USP
Taye Diggs as Jeffers and Nicky Katt as Obecks use the 9mm Heckler & Koch USPs as their main handguns.
Walther PPK/S
A Walther PPK/S is used by Dr. Painter (Dylan Kussman).
Browning Hi-Power
Used by the "Question Mark" a Browning Hi-Power pistol.
Colt Commander
Mr. Parker (Ryan Phillippe) uses what appears to be a Colt Commander as his offhand weapon when they first attempt to kidnap Robin (Juliette Lewis). He places the muzzle of the Colt Commander on Jeffers' (Taye Diggs) cheek.
Revolvers
Taurus Model 85
Joe Sarno (James Caan) gathers a team of his old veteran 'enforcers' to take care of business. When they attack the whorehouse they carry the newest version of the Taurus Model 85s, with rubber grips in .38 Special.
S&W Model 640 Centennial
Joe Sarno (James Caan) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 640 Centennial as his weapon of choice.
Unidentified revolvers
Abner Mercer (Geoffrey Lewis) loads up six revolvers each with one round and puts them in a bag to select one to kill himself with.
Two Mexican Federales carry what appear to be Ruger GP100's.
Rifles
IMI Galil ARM (7.62mm)
Mr. Longbaugh (Benicio del Toro) uses a Galil (Model 332 by its barrel length and features) first as a sniper rifle fitted with a scope attached during the motel shootout and at the firefight at the brothel at the end of the film without the scope.
Shotguns
Remington 870
Parker (Ryan Phillippe) and Longbaugh (Benicio del Toro) use a matte blued Remington 870 throughout the film. Mostly used by Parker during the brothel shootout.
Mossberg 590 Mariner
Taye Diggs as Jeffers uses a Mossberg 590 Mariner during the first car chase after Robin gets kidnapped by Parker and Longbaugh. Not to be confused with the more common Mossberg 500 Mariner.
Mossberg 500AT Shotgun
Two of Joe Sarno's old timer 'enforcers' are carrying Mossberg 500AT shotguns (the old style wooden stock riot version).
Stoeger/IGA Coach Double Barreled 12 Gauge Shotgun
Parker and Longbaugh used an Stoeger/IGA Coach 12 gauge shotgun to set up a wired booby trap in their hotel room. Robin (Juliette Lewis) grabs the shotgun and turns the tables on them.
