A pivotal weapon in the film, the Smith & Wesson Model 15 used at different points in the film by Wing (Waise Lee), Fai (Jackie Cheung) and Ah Bee (Tony Leung). Most notably, the weapon is used when the three protagonists are held at a Việt Cộng camp, where they are coerced into executing fellow prisoners.
M1911A1
M1911A1 pistols are among the most common in the movie, being used by the protagonists, South Vietnamese gangsters and ARVN soldiers throughout the movie. Both Ah Bee (Tony Leung) and Wing use M1911A1s when they confront each other at the end of the film.
Tokarev TT-33
A Tokarev TT-33 pistol is used by Fai during the shootout at the crime lord's club. He eventually uses it to shoot the crime lord before fleeing with Wing and Bee.
Submachine Guns
Beretta M12
A Beretta M12 submachine gun, concealed under a piano, is used by Wing during the gunfight at the crime lord's club.
M1928 Thompson
Ah Lok (Simon Yam) uses an M1928 Thompson without a butt stock loaded with a 30-round box magazine during the gunfight at the crime lord's club.
Remington 870 Shotgun
Ah Bee uses a pistol-gripped Remington 870 shotgun with a sawed-off barrel during the gunfight at the crime lord's club. The cap on the magazine tube is the giveaway that it's an 870.

M16A1 rifles are used by ARVN and American soldiers, as well as Việt Cộng rebels throughout the film. Ah Lok (Simon Yam) is armed with an M16A1 when he attacks the Việt Cộng camp with American soldiers, and Fai (Jacky Yeung) attacks his Việt Cộng captors with a captured M16A1.
Colt Model 653 Carbine
When the main characters attempt to flee pursuing ARVN forces, Ah Lok (Simon Yam) and Fai (Jacky Cheung) use Colt Model 653 carbines with two 20-round magazines taped "jungle style" to defend themselves. Note: In the real world, these variants by Colt were only available after 1973 so any depiction during the time frame between 1964-1973 is anachronistic.
M60 Machine Gun
M60 machine guns appears in two instances. It first is shown as a Jeep mounted weapon when ARVN soldiers rob a jewelery story, and a helicopter mounted M60D machine gun is shown when U.S. special forces attack the Việt Cộng encampment.
