Mr. Longbaugh (Benicio del Toro) uses a Galil (Model 332 by it's barrel length and features) first as a sniper rifle fitted with a scope attached during the motel shootout and at the firefight at the brothel at the end of the film without the scope.
Colt MK IV Series 70 Government Model
Mr. Longbaugh (Benicio del Toro) and Mr. Parker (Ryan Phillippe) use Colt Series 70 Government Model pistols as their main handguns. Used throughout the movie. Unlike most films where handguns are "Mexican carried", they carry theirs in IWB holsters which is a much safer and smarter way to carry. The Colts used in the film are 9mm caliber noted by the tapered barrels and crimp indention in the magazines.
Joe Sarno (James Caan) gathers a team of his old veteran 'enforcers' to take care of business. When they attack the whorehouse they carry the newest version of the Taurus Model 85s, with rubber grips in .38 Special.
Taye Diggs as Jeffers uses a Mossberg 590 Mariner during the first car chase after Robin gets kidnapped by Parker and Longbaugh. Not to be confused with the more common Mossberg 500 Mariner.
Parker and Longbaugh used an Stoeger/IGA Coach 12 gauge shotgun to set up a wired booby trap in their hotel room. Robin (Juliette Lewis) grabs the shotgun and turns the tables on them.
Mossberg 500AT Shotgun
Two of Joe Sarno's old timer 'enforcers' are carrying Mossberg 500AT shotguns (the old style wooden stock riot version).
Colt Commander
Mr. Parker (Ryan Phillippe) uses what appears to be a Colt Commander as his offhand weapon when they first attempt to kidnap Robin (Juliette Lewis). He places the muzzle of the Colt Commander on Jeffers' (Taye Diggs) cheek.
Revolvers
Abner Mercer (Geoffrey Lewis) loads up six revolvers each with one round and puts them in a bag to select one to kill himself with.
Two Mexican Federales carry what appear to be Ruger GP100's.
