Nilo (Francisco Rabal), an assassin, uses a revolver throughout the film, firing it several times while the cargo trucks are stuck in the jungle.
A Palestinian terrorist working with Waheeb is briefly seen with a Smith & Wesson 76 before being shot. One of the Venezuelan guerrillas who attempts to steal the dynamite from Scanlon's truck also carries a S&W 76.
Oil company guards carry the Cristobal M2. The Cristobal M2 is a assault rifle/carbine hybrid that was designed and manufactured in the Dominican Republic, where the film was shot.
Most of the soldiers are armed with early-pattern G3 rifles, which are most prominently seen when they confront a mob angered by the deaths caused by the oil well fire.
