El Mariachi Robert Rodriguez . Because the film was made in Mexico on an extremely low budget, some of the guns used in the production were real guns (not converted for blanks) taken from a local police station while others were either BB guns or other toy guns. Robert Rodriguez mentioned in the film's DVD commentary that since they were using blanks in firearms that were not blank-converted, they would often only be able to fire off one round before it jammed. The film was the first in Rodriguez's "Mariachi" trilogy, which includes Desperado Once Upon a Time in Mexico
The following weapons were used in the film El Mariachi :
Iver Johnson Enforcer Pistol The Iver Johnson Enforcer pistol is seen wielded by a hitman of Moco as well as by one of Azul's thugs in the movie's opening.

MAC-10 Azul carries a MAC-10 fitted with a suppressor as one of the weapons in his guitar case. El Mariachi (Carlos Gallardo ) then is seen taking the MAC-10 from the case and using it. Several of Moco's thugs are seen using MAC-10 's without a sound suppressor as well. The gun is frequently switched to other various guns in the many continuity errors in the film. It appears that due to the film's low budget, the MAC-10, the TEC-9 mini, and the Micro Uzi are the only submachine guns used in the film.
