The following guns were used in the film Desperado
Campa (Carlos Gallardo) 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.
Ponytailed 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.
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.
El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) can also be seen a 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.
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 92FS model capable of 3-round burst fire. Bucho (Joaquim de Almeida) passes his 93R to 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 (Selma Hayek) book store.
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.
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. 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.
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." This is the gun that is launched into the air and grabbed by El Mariachi right before the shooting starts. Sadly, this is the only instance in the film where this gun appears.
