When Cream's men surrender their weapons, one removes from his holster what appears to be a Colt Government M1911A1. Carlos (Daniele Quinn) can be seen using a Colt Government Model at the end of the movie
When Joe (Stephen Lang) disarms Cream (Laurence Fishburne), his men threaten Joe with an assortment of submachine guns. Joe forces Cream to make them drop the thier weapons and has "The Band" collect them. One of Cream's men has a Star Z70. Ruben (Michael Carmine) can be seen using the Z70 during the training session.

MAC-10
Two of Cream's men have MAC-10 submachine guns with barrel extensions and the stocks removed. One of these is used by Moss (Leon Robinson) for the rest of the film. Many of Cream's men can be seen using the same of type MAC-10s during the attack on the apartment house where Joe and "The Band" are staying. Some of the guards at Nestor's drug lab also use MAC-10s. At the end of the film, Nestor (James Remar) can be seen using a MAC-10 with no barrel extension.
An Uzi submachine gun is another weapon confiscated from one of Cream's men. Joe later uses the Uzi when Cream and his gang attack the apartment house. Nikki (Lauren Holly) can be seen with the Uzi near the end of the film.
Yet another weapon taken from Cream's gang is the Smith & Wesson M76. Dorcy (Al Shannon) uses the M76 for the rest of the film. Ruben (Michael Carmine) can be seen pretending to fire the M76 when "The Band" are inspecting the confiscated weapons. Some of Cream's men can be seen using M76 submachine guns during the attack on the apartment house, and some guards at the drug lab have them as well.
The Micro Uzi submachine gun is seen in the hands of one of Cream's thugs, and is later taken from him. Cream (Laurence Fishburne) himself uses a Micro Uzi during the attack on the house.
A corrections officer on the airboat that transports the protagonists to the Everglades can be seen holding a Remington 870. Nikki (Lauren Holly) uses a sawn off Remington 870 at the end of the film.
Carlos(Daniele Quinn) can be seen with a M16A1 when Joe(Stephen Lang) is teaching him marksmanship skills. It's assumed this is Joe's personal weapon as it's not one taken from Cream's men. Ruben uses the same M16A1 during the attack by Cream's gang. Carlos uses the M16A1 to provide covering fire for the rest of "The Band" when they attack the drug factory.
Carlos(Daniele Quinn) can be seen armed with a CAR-15 during the tactical training session. It's assumed that this is another personal weapon of Joe's as it's not one that was confiscated from Cream's thugs. Ruben (Michael Carmine) uses the CAR-15 as his personal weapon during the attack on the drug factory.
A structure on top of the drug factory hides a gun turret mounting a rotary cannon. Grating on the structure folds down to allow the cannon to fire. The weapon closely resembles an M61 Vulcan but slightly smaller. It is not known if this is an actual weapon firing blanks or a prop gun constructed for the film. The cannon looks almost exactly like the cannon mounted on the Blue Thunder helicopter, which is supposed to be a M61 Vulcan, but this may also be a prop and not a real weapon.
