Michael Cheritto (Tom Sizemore), a.k.a. Slick, brings an Israeli assault rifle (based on the AK-47, but with improved sights, among other changes) known as an IMI Galil ARM with a folding stock to the bank heist. He gets separated from the rest of the crew during the gun battle but managed to wound one of Hanna's detectives by a transit bus.
Michael Cheritto (Tom Sizemore), a.k.a. Slick, takes out the driver at the drive-in with several blasts from a pump-action Benelli M3 Super 90 12 gauge shotgun. Several L.A.P.D. patrolmen are also using the M3 Super 90 during the bank robbery.
The LAPD patrolman are also seen armed with Remington 870s during the bank robbery.

Colt Officer
Lt. Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino) opens the film with an ivory gripped Series 80 Colt Officer that he carries on his waist in a cross draw holster.
Michael Cheritto (Tom Sizemore), a.k.a. "Slick", brings a full-length, 21" barreled FN FAL with a Para-style Side-folding stock to the armored car robbery which he uses to execute the third guard.
Lt. Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino) pulls out an FN FNC rifle outside the bank heist on Flower Street. Michael Cheritto (Tom Sizemore) receives a 5.56mm present between the eyes from Hanna's FN FNC.
Several M16A1 assault rifles feature prominently in the film, fitted with M16A2-style handguards being wielded by various L.A.P.D. officers, including Detective Casals (Wes Studi). Casals uses one to assist in disabling McCauley's getaway vehicle (a Lincoln Town Car) and injure Chris Shiherlis (Val Kilmer) during the gun battle resulting from the bank heist.
During the bank robbery Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro) and Chris Shiherlis (Val Kilmer) carry Colt Commando carbines, which are also designated as M733. They are ultra-compact versions of the M16 rifle family with 11.5-inch barrels, being smaller and shorter than the M16A2 Rifle (20-inch) and M4 Carbine (14.5-inch). The lighter encumbrance comes at a tradeoff of reduced range and accuracy, which is appropriate since the Commandos can be fired from inside the vehicle, the robbers burdened by loads of cash, and because the firefight takes place at close to medium distances. The M733s have full automatic and semi-auto fire modes, while retaining the penetration of the 5.56 mm round of its big brothers, which is particularly deadly as they are capable of wounding officers and bystanders even through objects normally considered safe cover. They handle similarly to submachine guns, being less accurate but much more powerful.
Not surprisingly, Shiherlis uses the M733s to great effect, killing Bosko (Ted Levine), a member of Hanna's detectives, in a brief exchange of fire. After the getaway ride is disabled, Shiherlis sprays the police barricade with dozens of rounds, shooting up the LAPD patrol cars and bringing down at several officers. McCauley also uses it to shoot a pursuing patrolman while carjacking a Ford Taurus Wagon to escape.
Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro) can be seen carrying a H&K USP Compact of unknown caliber in the early scenes of Heat. Note the checkered back of the grip and the shape of the external thumb safety and slide release, all uncommon to a Sig Sauer P220.
Waingro (Kevin Gage), the unstable newcomer to Neil McCauley's (Robert De Niro) crew, carries two Star Megastars; the first is blued, the second stainless.
Michael Cheritto (Tom Sizemore) has a Ruger P90 in a cross draw hoster on his tac vest while he is armed with the FN FAL, during the armored car robbery.
