The [[SA Vz.58 assault rifle|VZ-58V]] assault rifle with a folding stock is seen used by some terrorists. Though it looks similar to the AK-47, it is a completely different weapon. Like in [[Lord of War]], the VZ-58 may have been used as a cheaper stand-in for the AK-47.

The SIG-Sauer P226 is the main pistol of the American troops in the movie. Captain Bergen (Coolio) also uses one as his main sidearm. While it's not entirely correct that all the troops would carry the P226, it is somewhat accurate, since the P226 is used by many different factions of the U.S. Army, and P226s from the 80s (like those in the film) are still being used today.
A CZ-75 is seen in use by terrorists and some American troops, although American troops have never carried CZ guns. In an apparent continuity error, Capt. Bergen's P226 changes to a CZ-75.
Also used by American troops is a Czech Sa.24 Submachine Gun mocked up in a modified Muzzelite MZ14 shell, no doubt to mimic similar looking weapons, like the FAMAS. Some are seen equipped with suppressors.
As is obvious to all viewers, the so called 'U.S. Special Forces' Helmets are plastic Airsoft Kevlar helmets from Hong Kong, but they are covered with the woodland helmet cover for an M1 Steel pot, so they don't fit the airsoft helmets. In one instance, they didn't even bother to give a soldier a helmet, instead, wrapped a woodland camo helmet cover on a 'fishing hat' and taping it down.
