Error creating thumbnail: File missing WARNING! Several images seen below give away spoilers for several major plot points in the film but are necessary to show the weapon used!
Ruger Mk II
Robert Rath/Joseph Rath (Sylvester Stallone) and Miguel Bain (Antonio Banderas) both use integrally suppressed Ruger Mk II pistols. Bain comments to Rath that he began to carry the "Ruger .22" once he found out that it was the same weapon Rath used in his assassinations. Electra/Anna (Julianne Moore) also uses Rath's Ruger on several occasions. It is identified as a MK II since the receiver has beveled cuts and MK I's did not. Mark I's came with fixed & adjustable sights. Mk I's also all have a "european release" for the magazine also known as a "heel release". The Rugers used in the film are clearly Mk II's as they have the beveled cut receivers (where you pull the "action" back to cock it.. -- The standard Ruger .22 has always been available with fixed (standard model )& adjustable sights (target model). It could be a MKI or MKII. -- All of the Ruger pistols are MK II if they have the slide release - and they are not integrally suppressed they have screw on cylinders. As with most movies there are many inconsistencies and both Mark I's & Mark II's were probably used throughout the whole movie.

Remington Model 700
Robert Rath/Joseph Rath (Sylvester Stallone) uses a suppressed and scoped Remington Model 700 in 1980 to shoot at his former partner, Nicolai. Remington 700PSS with Leupold Mark 4 scope and Harris bipod, in .300 Win Mag. This information is incorrect as Remington did not offer a model 700 PSS in 1980 which would correspond with the dates stated in the 1995 movie. Rath states he took Nicolai 15 years prior, which would make it impossible to use a 700 PSS model. However it is true that Remington did produce the Model 700 in 1980. Also Leupold did not offer a Mark 4 (LRT) in 1980, so it is impossible to use this particular scope. It is the Hi-Lux "Camputer" model scope shown as the memory flashback from 1980. Hi-Lux & Leatherwood scopes were common military scopes from the time period of 1980. It is a classic case of lack of information and forethought or using firearms and accesories and simply not thinking that the viewing public would notice or pay attention.
Walther PP
When Robert Rath/Joseph Rath (Sylvester Stallone) is walking one of his marks, an ex-hitman named Ketcham (Muse Watson), through a forest. Later, Rath ejects the magazine out of the suppressed PP and hands it to Ketcham, stating "it's chambered". Ketcham then uses his own Walther PP to kill himself, saying "My old friend." before shooting himself in the head.
Claridge Hi-Tec/Goncz GC
Miguel Bain (Antonio Banderas) uses a suppressed Goncz GC carbine in the cemetery to kill Alan Branch (Steve Kahan) at the funeral. During his escape from police custody, he retrieves the weapon (which is oddly still loaded after his arrest) and uses it while in the taxi with Rath. (It may also be a Claridge LEC9).
Beretta 92FS
Several of Alan Branch's bodyguards (David Dollase and Jim Graham) fire Beretta 92FS pistols at Bain after he takes out Alan Branch in the cemetery. A male Interpol agent in the hotel (Dave Young) that Bain assassinates in the hallway also has a Beretta, albeit suppressed.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
The policemen arresting Miguel Bain at the cemetery carry Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolvers.
Heckler & Koch USP
One of the Interpol agents posing as a Dutch buyer carries a suppressed Heckler & Koch USP.
SIG-Sauer P226
Another Interpol agent posing as a Dutch buyer carries a suppressed SIG-Sauer P226.
Glock 17
The other Interpol agent posing as a Dutch buyer carries a suppressed Glock 17.
Sphinx AT-380M
Miguel Bain (Antonio Banderas) uses a two-tone Sphinx AT380 with a suppressor as he breaks into the room with the Interpol agents.
Remington Model Seven
Miguel Bain (Antonio Banderas) uses an integrally suppressed Remington Model 7 compact tactical rifle with a Leatherwood ART scope and thumb cut stock while waiting for Rath in San Juan. Electra (Julianne Moore) eventually gets her hands on the rifle and fumbles to use it, but manages to take a few shots at Bain. She later gives it to Rath (Sylvester Stallone) who disables it by removing the bolt. This rifle differs from the classic Remington 700 action in that the receiver is shorter than a standard length and takes shorter but still powerful cartridges. It is designed to be a tactical bolt action rifle that is compact and can be easily fired from minimal cover. The 'sportsman' version is the Predator and CDL and is promoted as a rifle for "thick cover hunting."
MAC-10
The guard at the San Juan bank carries a suppressed MAC-10. Why a bank guard needs a suppressed submachine gun is never explained.
Heckler & Koch P9S
Rath's ex-partner Nicolai Tashlinkov (Anatoli Davidov) confronts him, Electra, and Bain in the finale with a suppressed Heckler & Koch P9S.
