A 9mm 1911 customized by Joe (Joe Cheung Man Kwong) for Miu (Alex Fong Chung-Sun). Joe tells Miu that he put in a 13lbs recoil spring and to change the slide after 5,000 shots. Miu uses this gun for IPSC competition and to stop Rick (Leslie Cheung).
Vincent (Vincent Kok Tak-Chiu) uses a customized 9mm 1911 for the IPSC competiton.
Other Customized 1911
Les Baer Custom 1911
Joe Cheung Man Kwong who acts in the film is also the film's technical adviser. On the Special Features: Behind the Scenes of the DVD, he uses a Les Baer Custom 1911 to teach actors how to use a gun like a IPSC competitor and explains the modifications used on a racegun.
Strayer Voigt Infinity
Springfield Armory M1911
Smith & Wesson Model 10
A snub-nosed Smith & Wesson Model 10 with a synthetic grip can be seen being used by two Hong Kong police officers while taking cover from Rick (Leslie Cheung)
Rick (Leslie Cheung) uses a Beretta 92F at a shooting range.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Hong Kong Special Duties Unit officers use Heckler & Koch MP5A3s during the final shootout.
Airsoft Guns
Since guns are illegal in Hong Kong, Rick (Leslie Cheung) converts his pistols into airsoft pistols. Hong Kong law states airsoft guns may not be fired with a muzzle energy above two joules of kinetic energy.
Note: It is widely believed and preached by anti-airsoft and anti-gun advocates that Airsoft guns can be readily and easily converted to fire live rounds. That idea itself is both very expensive and impractical. The same can be reverse. Although it is not impossible, it is not feasible.
