Intratec TEC-9
Eric (Eric Deulen) is seen carrying a Intratec TEC-9 semi-automatic pistol. Alex refers to it by name as a "TEC-9".
Unknown Pistol
While planning the attack, Alex and Eric mention their arsenal of weapons. Alex mentions that they have pistols. One of these pistols is seen on Eric's right hip. It is never taken out of the holster, used, or even seen closely enough to identify, but it looks like it is possibly a SIG-Sauer pistol.

Shotguns
Mossberg 590 Compact Cruiser
