A [[Colt Commander]] was the main service sidearm of real life Texas Ranger Joaquin Jackson. [[Nick Nolte]] bought a .45 Colt Commander, just like the one owned by Jackson, including the custom grips and also an identical holster to carry the gun, to use it in the film. However, in his autobiography "One Ranger", Jackson remembers that the .45 Commander was not reliable with blanks. Therefore, a 9mm Colt Commander was used instead. Jack Benteen's ([[Nick Nolte]]) sidearm in the film is thus a 9mm Colt Commander.

Interesting movie written by John Milius, and directed by Walter Hill. The final shootout is somewhat reminiscent of Sam Peckinpah's "The Wild Bunch". The producers hired Texas Ranger Joaquin Jackson as a consultant.

Jack Benteen's (Nick Nolte) sidearm in the film is thus a 9mm Colt Commander.
The MAC-10 is the main weapon of choice for the special unit. MSgt. Larry McRose, Maj. Paul Hackett and SSgt. Declan Patrick Coker all start with one during the final shootout. Maj. Paul Hackett has the only one fitted with a suppressor.
Sgt. Charles Biddle (Larry B. Scott) uses a Beretta 92F during the final shootout. Much like Lethal Weapon (1987) and Die Hard (1988), this is one of the first films to feature the new 92F model.
Sheriff Hank Pearson (Rip Torn) uses a Winchester Model 12 shotgun in the film. Joaquin Jackson claimed the shotgun actually belonged to the actor.

You know that. Sheriff Hank Pearson: Hell, I don't care, as long as she's six-foot-six, mean as a snake. State legislature. Shit, Jack!

Browning M1919A4s are used by machine gunners during the final shootout, some being mounted on a double-handed mount, while others are AA twin mounted.
