Error creating thumbnail: File missingHeckler & Koch Mark 23 with suppressor -.45 ACPError creating thumbnail: File missingThe MK23 can be differentiated from the USP series by the raised sections of the front and rear of the slide at the point the sights are situated, from the curved underside of the front of the frame and also the threaded hole in the front of the wider, elongated trigger guard (for installation of a Wilcox or similar locking LAM unit) which you can see clearly in this still. Also the frame on a Mark 23 is significantly wider before the integrated rail than on a USP. Though it is hard to identify in the film, this enhanced publicity still helps, as well as a brief side shot in the film, detailing the unique Mark 23 trigger guard.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAlejandro (Benicio del Toro), while carrying his Gen 4 Glock 17, (if you look closely) can actually be seen with the Mark 23 in his vest holster, suppressor attached. Nifty continuity and foreshadowing. This could not have been mistaken for a similar USP, as it has an ambidextrous safety lever, which can clearly be seen on its left side.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAlejandro confronts Fausto Alarcon (Juan Cedillo) and his family. Note the older style reflective H&K "Maritime" finish.

Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Alejandro (Benicio del Toro) uses a Heckler & Koch MP5A3 with a suppressor, railed handguards and an Aimpoint sight. An unsuppressed MP5A3 with a Surefire forend is used by a cartel gunman during the border crossing shootout.
Kate, Reggie Wayne (Daniel Kaluuya) and Phoenix PD SWAT officers use M4A1 Carbines during a raid. DEA Agent Steve Forsing (Jeffrey Donovan) and Delta Force commandos also use M4A1 Carbines, as do Mexican Federal Police officers, Border Patrol Officers, and cartel members. Note, Prior to the convoy shootout at the border crossing, as the teams are identifying the two threat targets, Jeffrey Donovan's M4 dust cover is open and the chamber is clearly empty.
Delta Force commandos use airsoft G&P M4 MOE CQBR rifles throughout the film. Border Patrol and ICE Agents are also seen with these rifles as they are guarding a large group of captured immigrants.
An AK-103 rifle (likely an American semi-auto clone such as the Arsenal SLR-103) is used by a sicario disguised as a Federal police officer during a shootout. A similar rifle is also seen in Silvio's (Maximiliano Hernández) home.
