Also the frame on a Mark 23 is significantly wider before the intergrated rail than on a USP.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAlejandro confronts Fausto Alarcon (Juan Cedillo) and his family.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAlejandro brandishes the suppressed Mark 23.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAlejandro fires the suppressed Mark 23.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Alejandro (Benicio del Toro) uses a Heckler & Koch MP5A3 with a suppressor, railed handguards and an Aimpoint sight. An unsuppressed MP5A3 with a Surefire forend is used by a cartel gunman during the border crossing shootout.
Kate, Reggie Wayne (Daniel Kaluuya) and Phoenix PD SWAT officers use M4A1 Carbines during a raid. DEA Agent Steve Forsing (Jeffrey Donovan) and Delta Force commandos also use M4A1 Carbines, as do Mexican Federal Police officers and cartel members. Note, Prior to the convoy shootout at the border crossing, as the teams are identifying the two threat targets, Jeffrey Donovan's M4 dust cover is open and the chamber is clearly empty.
An AK-103 rifle (likely an American semi-auto clone such as the Arsenal SLR-103) is used by a sicario disguised as a Federal police officer during a shootout. A similar rifle is also seen in Silvio's (Maximiliano Hernández) home.
