A [[Colt Commander]] is the main sidearm of Texas Ranger Jack Benteen ([[Nick Nolte]]) in the film. In fact, this was the main service sidearm of real life Texas Ranger Joaquin Jackson, who was the inspiration for Nolte's character. [[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.

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.
A Colt Commander is the main sidearm of Texas Ranger Jack Benteen (Nick Nolte) in the film. In fact, this was the main service sidearm of real life Texas Ranger Joaquin Jackson, who was the inspiration for Nolte's character. 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.
The MAC-10 is the main weapon of choice for the special unit. MSgt. Larry McRose (Clancy Brown), Maj. Paul Hackett (Michael Ironside) and SSgt. Declan Patrick Coker (Matt Mulhern) 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.
Jack Benteen (Nick Nolte), MSgt. Larry McRose (Clancy Brown) and Lupo (Luis Contreras) use a Remington 870 in the film. Jack Benteen's 870 has a full stock and no magazine tube extension. MSgt. Larry McRose's 870 has a factory folding stock with magazine extension. Lupo's 870 has the wood stock sawed to a pistol grip and sports a magazine extension also. Despite carrying it throughout the film he is never seen firing it.
Sheriff Hank Pearson (Rip Torn) uses a Winchester Model 12 shotgun in the film. Joaquin Jackson claimed the shotgun actually belonged to the actor.

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.
Ithaca 37 shotguns are seen in the Sheriff's office armory. Deputy Purvis (James Lashly) is seen with one, when standing guard. After the apprehension of SSgt. Declan Patrick Coker and Sgt. Buck Atwater.
