''El Mariachi'' is the 1992 Mexican language action film that marked the first feature film directed by [[Robert Rodriguez]].  The film marked the beginning of Rodriguez's "Mariachi" trilogy, which includes ''[[Desperado]]'' and ''[[Once Upon a Time in Mexico]]''.  Because of the film's extremely low budget, some guns were actual guns taken from local police station, other were toy replicas - airsoft and even water guns.

Robert Rodriguez mentioned in the DVD commentary for the film that since they were firing blanks in firearms that were not blank-converted, they would often only be able to get one shot before it jammed.

Azul carries a [[MAC-10]] fitted with a suppressor as one of the weapons in his guitar case.  El Mariachi ([[Carlos Gallardo]]) then is seen taking the MAC-10 from the case and using it.  Several of Moco's thugs are seen using [[MAC-10]]'s without a sound suppressor as well.  The gun is frequently switched to other various guns in the many continuity errors in the film   It appears that due to the film's low budget, the MAC-10, the TEC-9 mini, and the Micro Uzi are the only submachine guns used in the film.

El Mariachi (1992)

El Mariachi is the 1992 Mexican language action film that marked the first feature film directed by Robert Rodriguez. The film also marked the beginning of Rodriguez's "Mariachi" trilogy, which includes Desperado and Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Because of the film's extremely low budget, some guns were actual guns taken from local police station and other were either BB guns or other toy guns. Robert Rodriguez mentioned in the DVD commentary for the film that since they were firing blanks in firearms that were not blank-converted, they would often only be able to get one shot before it jammed.


The following guns were used in the film El Mariachi:



Iver Johnson Enforcer Pistol

The Iver Johnson Enforcer Pistol is seen wielded by a hitman of Moco as well as by one of Azul's thugs in the movie's opening.

MAC-10

Azul carries a MAC-10 fitted with a suppressor as one of the weapons in his guitar case. El Mariachi (Carlos Gallardo) then is seen taking the MAC-10 from the case and using it. Several of Moco's thugs are seen using MAC-10's without a sound suppressor as well. The gun is frequently switched to other various guns in the many continuity errors in the film It appears that due to the film's low budget, the MAC-10, the TEC-9 mini, and the Micro Uzi are the only submachine guns used in the film.
