Jon uses what appears to be a customized [[M16 rifle series#Mk 18 Mod 0|Mk 18 Mod 1]] in Jordan. The rifle has a long railed handguard coupled with a short barrel and a Vltor Modstock, Aimpoint sight, a laser aiming module and fitted XM16E1-style lower receiver.
Jon uses a [[M16 rifle series#Mk 18 Mod 0|Mk 18 Mod 1]] carbine in Jordan. The rifle has an early Daniel Defense RIS II handguard coupled with a short barrel and a B5 SOPMOD stock, Aimpoint CompM2 sight, and an AN/PEQ-15 ATPIAL laser aiming module. The rifle is actually built on an XM16E1-style lower receiver, as evidenced by that lack of fencing around the magazine release.

The Viral Factor is a 2012 action movie directed by Dante Lam. Jay Chou and Nicholas Tse star as two long-lost brothers, on opposite sides of the law, who reunite to stop a group of criminals from releasing a deadly strain of smallpox.
The following weapons were used in the film The Viral Factor:
The Glock 17 is the most frequently seen weapon in the film, and is used by various points by Jon Man (Jay Chou), his brother Man Yeung (Nicholas Tse), various IDC agents, henchmen and Malaysian police officers.
A Glock 17 converted to fully automatic fire and with a 33 round magazine is used by Jon's International Defence Commission (IDC) partner Ross (Carl Ng) to protect Parker when their team is attacked during a mission in Jordan. Sean Wong uses one in Kuala Lumpur when battling IDC agents.
Agent Sean Wong (Andy On) uses a Heckler & Koch USP when he betrays his comrades in Jordan. IDC agent Parker uses one as his main sidearm during the Jordanian escort mission.
Man Yeung is seen using an older-model Taurus Model 85 during a flashback sequence. Jon also uses the Taurus in the finale after retrieving it from a dead henchman.
A Walther P99 is carried by IDC agent Jon Man (Jay Chou) in Jordan. Corrupt IDC agent Russell (Philip Keung) uses a P99 while chasing Jon and his brother Man Yeung (Nicholas Tse) in Kuala Lumpur.
Ice uses a Heckler & Koch MP5K with a PDW-style stock accessory rails and a red-dot sight in Jordan. Jon later uses a MP5K in the finale when he battles Wong's thugs aboard a cargo ship.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3 submachine guns with Surefire weapon lights are used by Jordanian Public Security Force Unit 30 operators when they raid a terrorist hideout. A Royal Malaysian Navy PASKAL VBSS boarding team also uses MP5A3s when searching a freighter contaminated with smallpox, as do IDC agents. A thug in the finale uses a MP5A3 without any attachments.
Agent Ross uses a Heckler & Koch G3A4 in Jordan. He loses it after being wounded while being shot by armed mercenaries. The rifle has a picatinny rail on the handguard with a red dot-type scope.
PASKAL commandos of the Royal Malaysian Navy use M4A1 carbines while searching a smallpox-contaminated freighter. Later, IDC agents use M4A1 carbines when they raid Sean Wong's hideout. Wong himself uses an unmodified M4A1 in the finale while searching for Yeung and Jon.
Jon uses a Mk 18 Mod 1 carbine in Jordan. The rifle has an early Daniel Defense RIS II handguard coupled with a short barrel and a B5 SOPMOD stock, Aimpoint CompM2 sight, and an AN/PEQ-15 ATPIAL laser aiming module. The rifle is actually built on an XM16E1-style lower receiver, as evidenced by that lack of fencing around the magazine release.
A short-barrelled SIG SG 552 is used by Sean Wong during the Jordanian mission. It is equipped with a pronged flash hider, standard diopter sights, an Aimpoint sight and a tactical flashlight.
Sean Wong and several of his henchmen use RGD-5 hand grenades to fend off IDC agents when their hideout is raided. Jon later uses one to rescue Dr. Rachel Kan (Peng Lin).
