All of these rifles are fake XM177 rifles which seem to have been built from other AR variants. The real XM177 has a slab-side receiver, which only Michael's gun has (at least when he's in the elevator). The rifles used by the other robbers have both [[M16A2]]-style receivers (forward assist, brass deflector, and [[M16A2]]-style rear sight) and Model 715-style receivers (forward assist, brass deflector, and [[M16A1]]-style rear sight).

- This page needs lots of work. It's nice we have screencaps for it now, but gun page links do NOT go in the heading, and stand-alone gun pictures are needed. Formatting is a bit too sloppy for IMFDB standards. -MT2008
Handguns
M1911
Thomas Murphy (Kevin Costner) carries a pair of M1911s which he wields akimbo during the Casino heist. At one point in the movie, he looses these guns after being aressted, and later recieves a replacement from his friend Jack (Howie Long).
During one scene of the Casino Heist, a Las Vagas Police Officer attacks the Murphy and Michael's group with a SIG P226 which breifly changes to an M1911.
Smith & Wesson Model 29
Gus (David Arquette) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 29 during the Casino heist. He tries to reload the weapon during the firefight, but seems to give up and uses his assault rifle instead.
Beretta M93R
Franklin (Bokeem Woodbine) uses a Beretta M93R during the Casino heist. The weapon appears to be converted to full auto, and Franklin fires it with no concern of innocent bystanders.
Smith & Wesson Model 686
Just before the warehouse shoot out, Jack (Howie Long) is seen loading a Smith & Wesson Model 686. Michael (Kurt Russell) catches Jack off guard and disarms him. He holds the weapon to Jack and Murphy (Kevin Costner) until SWAT shows up and he drops the weapon.
Beretta 92FS
The Casino security guards are carrying Beretta 92FS during the Casino heist shoot out.
Walther P99
Franklin (Bokeem Woodbine) seems to be carrying an empty Walther P99 in the elevator as the Las Vegas Police Officer attacks the group.
SIG-Saur P226
When the group retreats to the elevator, a Las Vegas Police Officer orders the group to stop and then attacks them with a SIG P226. He shoots Franklin (Bokeem Woodbine) several times before Murphy (Kevin Costner) disarms him and shoots him in the head.
Shotguns
Franchi SPAS 12
Murphy's (Kevin Costner) main weapon during the Casino heist is the italian Franchi SPAS 12 shotgun. He drops the weapon after killing several security guards and running out of ammunition.
Remington 870
One of the Casino security officers fires a Remington 870 at Murphy and company.
Mossberg 500-series shotgun|Mossberg 500
Just before the final shoot out in the warehouse, Murphy (Kevin Costner) is given a short barreled Mossberg 500 with rear and foreward pistol grips. He uses the weapon to shoot Michael (Kurt Russell) after SWAT shows up, and breifly uses it to shoot at the SWAT team members.
Sub Machine Guns
FN P90
Hamilton (Ice-T) uses a pair of FN P90s wielded akimbo during the warehouse shoot out. In one of the more cool looking (and kind of stupid) scenes, Hamilton rides a zip line upside down, spraying both FN P90s at the SWAT officers. He is quickly gunned down, of course, for exposing himself as such an easy target.
Heckler & Koch MP5A2
U.S. Marshal Damitry (Kevin Pollak), U.S. Marshal Quigley (Thomas Haden Church) and all the SWAT Team Officers use Heckler & Koch MP5A2s during the final shoot out in the warehouse.
Ruger MP-9
Jack uses a Ruger MP9 during the final shootout in the warehouse.
Assault Rifles
Ruger Mini-14
Some of the Casino security (or undercover LVPD) are armed with Ruger Mini-14s during the closing scenes of the Casino Heist. Two of the officers exchange fire with Murphy and Michael's group as the retreat to their get a way helicopter.
XM177/Model 654
These weapons are used by Gus (David Arquette) and Franklin (Bokeem Woodbine) during the Casino Heist.
Near the end of the movie, Murphy (Kevin Costner) uses one of these for the first part of the warehouse shoot out.
They're Rocky Mountain Arms Patriot Pistol uppers on XM177/Model 654 lower receivers, with M4-style carry handles mounted. -MT2008
(Fake) Colt XM177
Hanson (Christian Slater) and Michael (Kurt Russell) use M16 carbine variants that are mocked up to resemble Colt XM177 during the the casino heist. Michael never fires his weapon at any of the security guards, instead shooting the glass above a group of persuing guards. Michael then passes his gun to Murphy (Kevin Costner) as the group makes their escape to the helicopter.
All of these rifles are fake XM177 rifles which seem to have been built from other AR variants. The real XM177 has a slab-side receiver, which only Michael's gun has (at least when he's in the elevator). The rifles used by the other robbers have both M16A2-style receivers (forward assist, brass deflector, and M16A2-style rear sight) and Model 715-style receivers (forward assist, brass deflector, and M16A1-style rear sight). This means that they're probably other AR carbine variants with chopped barrels and fake XM177 flash hiders fitted. Most of the Hollywood "XM177s" seen in movies are just like these (see also The Rock, for instance).
Light Machine Guns
FN Minimi
During the final shoot out in the warehouse, Jack (Howie Long) uses a FN Minimi against several SWAT officers. After Jack is gunned down while trying to save Murphy (Kevin Costner), Murphy picks up the FN Minimi and uses it for his last stand.
(Can someone identify these, please?)
Mike`s Handgun
Michael uses this gun to threaten Cybil.
- Definitely a Smith & Wesson, I'd say Smith & Wesson 5906.
- It has no external safety/decocker, so that makes it the 5946. -MT2008
Hanson's gun
Hanson hold this gun to Murphy after they have a disagreement about his cut of the money.
Jack's gun
SIG P229 i think The Winchester
- It's another P226. Jack just has huge hands. -MT2008
Sheriff's gun
Murphy gets pulled over by an officer who acts like a cowboy. He challanges Murphy to a duel by showing off his gun.
- It is a Single Action Army with the front sight philed off for faster draw. The guy playing this sheriff is a quickdraw shooter, and removing the front sights is a pro technique if you can quick draw for real. Gun has a nickel finish. - Gunmaster45
