Revision as of 05:37, 28 August 2011
Desperado is the 1995 sequel to the 1992 action film El Mariachi. The film was also directed by Robert Rodriguez and stars Antonio Banderas as the gun for hire known as the "Mariachi", who keeps his firepower hidden in his guitar case. Rodriguez and Banderas would complete the Mariachi trilogy with 2003's Once Upon a Time in Mexico.
The following guns were used in the film Desperado:
Handguns
Ruger KP90
El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) packs matching Ruger KP90s as his main weapons in the film. Tavo (Tito Larriva) fires a Ruger KP90 at El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) as he flees the shootout at the Tarasco bar. It's likely that it's one of Banderas' KP90s simply being reused in a different scene. The Ruger KP90 is also the pistol Tavo (Tito Larriva) uses to put a bullet through The Pick Up Guy's (Quentin Tarantino) head.
Colt M1911A1
Bucho (Joaquim de Almeida) uses a Colt M1911A1 as his weapon of choice in the film. Other M1911 types make some appearances in the film as well.
Beretta 92FS Inox
The pony-tailed ganster uses a Beretta 92FS Inox pistol with Ivory grips to hold up El Mariachi in the bar. Some random thugs can be seen using them as well.
Wildey Magnum
El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) carries a scoped Wildey Magnum pistol in his guitar case. One of Bucho's hitmen is also seen carrying a Wildey Magnum in the film.
Taurus PT99
Empty Gun Man (Diego Sandoval) brings a suppressed Taurus PT99 to the Tarasco bar shootout. El Mariachi is later seen with the same PT92 in his guitar case later, although it lacks the suppressor. It is noted as a Taurus PT99 based on its frame mounted safety and raised adjustable sights.
Smith & Wesson Model 66 snub
An snub-nose Smith & Wesson Model 66 revolver with rubber grips is seen in El Mariachi's guitar case and in some thugs pants but is never used.
LAR Grizzly Win Mag
Broken Leg Thug uses an LAR Grizzly Win Mag with a stainless steel finish and a barrel bushing compensator as his weapon of choice in the film.
Desert Eagle Mark XIX
Tavo (Tito Larriva) fires a black Desert Eagle Mark XIX in .50 AE (determined by bore diameter) at El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) as he flees the shootout at the Tarasco bar. Bucho (Joaquim de Almeida) also begins to kill his own men with the same black Desert Eagle. El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) later kills one of Bucho's henchmen on the roof of Carolina's (Salma Hayek) bookstore who is holding the same black Desert Eagle.
While the Desert Eagle had appeared in many action movies by this time, Desperado appears to the very first film ever to feature the latest Mark XIX variant in .50 AE (which was brand-new in 1995).
Beretta 93R
Bucho (Joaquim de Almeida) seems to have a taste for exotic pistols, the Beretta 93R he carries is a very rare version of Beretta's popular 92 model capable of 3-round burst fire. Bucho's (Joaquim de Almeida) Beretta 93R is taken by Zamira (Angel Aviles) who makes use of its burst fire capability in the attack on Navajas (Danny Trejo). The Beretta 93R is later reused by one of Bucho's henchmen who fires at El Mariachi as he jumps from the roof of Carolina's (Salma Hayek) book store.
Codpiece Revolver
Although we never see the Codpiece Revolver fire it's one of the few firearms in the film with dialogue devoted to it. This same codpiece revolver was later reused by Robert Rodriguez in From Dusk Till Dawn (though with different six-bullet magazines instead of original four). Originally a scene was shot where El Mariachi used the codpiece, which was hidden under his pants, to shoot Ponytail thug, before whipping out his Ruger P90s and finishing him.
Smith & Wesson Model 19
The Tarasco bartender (Cheech Marin) uses a suppressed Smith & Wesson Model 19 revolver. In reality, very few revolvers can be sound suppressed because of the gap between the cylinder and barrel. The 1895 Russian Nagant revolver is one of the rare revolvers that can be sound suppressed. Upon firing, the cylinder moves forward and seal with the barrel, leaving no gap. You can see it here.
It is also possible that this could be a bit of creative license on the part of the film makers, as the US military attempted their own version of the Nagant to be used by tunnel rats, it was based on a Smith and Wesson model 29 (which looks very similar to the 19), it never entered service, but it is possible that this is what the armorers were aiming for. -Incorrect, the tunnel rats' revolver had no suppressor, but had a special suppressed round, similar to the EZ Gun rounds seen in MGS3- DonPatrono
Shotguns
Rossi Overland Sawed Off Shotgun
El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) can also be seen using a Rossi Overland Sawed Off Double Barreled Shotgun as one of his main weapons in the film and can be seen firing up to six rounds from two barrels thanks to movie magic. It was built and supplied by Stembridge Gun Rentals.
Sentinel Arms Stryker 12
In the shootout at the Oro verde bar in Saragosa, El Mariachi pulls out a Sentinel Arms Stryker 12, along with the sawed off 12 gauge, that Buscemi described as "The biggest hand cannon I've ever fucking seen." El Mariachi used it to send several thugs flying (unrealistically) but sadly, it is the only time he uses it. A thug later in the film is seen using it, but very briefly.
Remington 870
Some thugs in the film use a Remington 870 with a sawed-down pistol grip, extended magazine tube, and a heat-shield similar to the gun used by Denzel Washington in Training Day.
Submachine Guns
MAC-10
Most of Bucho's (Joaquim de Almeida) men are armed with suppressed MAC-10 machine pistols that are most prominently featured in the Tarasco bar shootout, some with mock suppressors, some without. You will recognize the scene between El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) and Empty Gun Man (Diego Sandoval) as inspiration for a similar scene between Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) and Neo (Keanu Reeves) in The Matrix.
Colt Commando
We see Bucho's (Joaquim de Almeida) men carry and fire the same Colt Commando carbine in several scenes.
Explosives
M26 "Lemon" Hand grenade
El Mariachi takes two M26 hand grenades from his guitar case on the rooftop, pulls the pins with his teeth (despite the 5lb pin pull) and then throws them at the two men on the street below. The grenades make a ridiculously large fireball instead of a more realistic explosion.
M67 "Baseball" Hand grenade
Some M67 hand grenades are seen in El Mariachi's guitar case.
Guitar Case Weapon Systems
Guitar Case MAC-10
Campa (Carlos Gallardo, who was the El Mariachi in the original film) shows up to the firefight with a pair of guitar case machine guns. Robert Rodriguez has commented that the guitar case machine guns were built from MAC-10s. The sound effects used appear to based off the M134 minigun.
Guitar Case Rocket Launcher
Quino (Albert Michel Jr.) brings a rocket launcher inside of a guitar case to greet Bucho's men.
