Glock 17

In one part of the film, Yuri sells four Glock 17 pistols to a Colombian drug lord. When a dispute arises reguarding payment for the weapon (the drug lord wanted to give him cocaine instead of money), Yuri ends up getting shot with one of the pistols, violating the most important of his three rules; "Don't get shot with your own merchandise".

A notable mistake is that two of the Glock-17s in this scene (including the one used by the drug lord to shoot Yuri) are clearly third-generation models (they have frame rails for mounting accessories, plus thumb reliefs and finger grooves in the grip), which were introduced in 2000, but the scene takes place in the late-1980s.

Smith & Wesson Model 686

While Yuri is negotiating with André Baptiste Sr. (Eamonn Walker), the warlord uses a Smith & Wesson Model 686 to kill one of the men in the room, after which Yuri comments that he'll have to purchase the weapon having used it. Later on, André captures Yuri's primary gun-running competitor, Simeon Weisz (Ian Holm) as a "present" for Yuri and gives him the opportunity to kill him using the revolver. When Yuri is reluctant to do the deed himself, the warlord puts the gun in Yuri's hand and presses Yuri's finger on the trigger until the gun fires, killing Weisz.

AK-47

One of the most frequently-seen weapons in the film, numerous versions and foreign clones of the AK-47 appear constantly.
