Error creating thumbnail: File missing WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Handguns
Magnum Research Inc. Mark VII Desert Eagle
Harley Davidson (Mickey Rourke) obtains a Desert Eagle Mark VII near the beginning from the thug holding up the gas station. He then gives it to Marlboro (Don Johnson) as a birthday present, who uses it throughout the rest of the movie. Marlboro identifies it as a ".44 Mag Desert Eagle, 6 in the clip, one in the pipe".
Ruger Super Blackhawk
Harley Davidson (Mickey Rourke) obtains a Ruger Super Blackhawk with imitation ivory grips near the end of the movie and uses it in the final battle. It is rumored that the weapons in the film are converted to .454 Casull, but this is unclear (see 'Trivia' section below).
Ruger Redhawk
After his Steyr AUG is empty, Alexander (Daniel Baldwin) draws a stainless Ruger Redhawk revolver and takes Marlboro Man hostage with it. Marlboro later gets ahold of the Redhawk.
Smith & Wesson Model 686
Two Smith & Wesson Model 686 revolvers are carried by the two armored car guards (Jordan Lund and Steve Tannen). They are then seized and used by both Harley Davidson (Mickey Rourke) and Marlboro (Don Johnson).
Glock 17
LAPD Officer Virginia Slim (Chelsea Field) carries a Glock 17 as her duty pistol and draws it when she pulls Marlboro over. This is over a decade prior to the Glock being offically approved as a sidearm for the LAPD.
Shotguns
Winchester Model 1300 Defender
Harley Davidson (Mickey Rourke) uses a Winchester 1300 Defender during the shootout and later, Jack Daniels (Big John Studd) then uses it in the bar gunfight scene.
Ithaca 37
Ithaca 37 shotguns are held on Harley and Marlboro by thugs of Chance Wilder (Tom Sizemore) when they go to his office building.
Rifles / Carbines
Steyr AUG
All the Kevlar Trenchcoat-wearing henchmen including their leader Alexander (Daniel Baldwin) carry Steyr AUGs with 16" barrels (versus the standard 20").
Submachine Guns
Heckler and Koch MP5KA4
The Heckler & Koch MP5KA4 is used throughout the film, mainly by Jose (Eloy Casados), who carries two with magazines clamped together.
Trivia
John Taffin mentions in one of his books ("big bore handguns" or "big bore sixguns") that the Ruger used in the movie was customized by gunsmith Andy Horvath. It seems that someone from the movie's crew read an article by Taffin about his own Ruger, built by Horvath. The producers tried to Borrow Taffin's revolver but he declined and suggested them to contact Horvath. The gunsmith then built several revolvers for the movie and (reportedly) for Don Johnson's and Mickey Rourke's personal use. It is doubtful that the revolvers used in the movie were actually converted to .454 Casull.
