Beretta 93R
Seen during the fight in the gambling den, one of Montoyas' men fires a full auto pistol that strongly resembles the pistol used in Underworld: Evolution . Most likely a heavily modified Beretta 92 with a custom extended front end, though this is an educated guess based on general shape and usage in other movies.

SIG Sauer P220 Pistols
Captain Damien Tomaso (Cyril Raffaelli ) grabs a pair of SIG Pistols during a fight. The full size and large aperture of the barrel would indicate a big caliber like a .45 acp, so the assumption is that they are P220s.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing SIG-Sauer P220 - .45 ACP
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Tomaso fires two Sig Sauer P220 pistols - .45acp
SIG Pro 2009
Since the SIG pistols are supposedly stolen from the French National police, they should be SIG Pro SP 2022 or 2009 pistols, but they are probably Sig P228 pistols since they don't have the integral rail of the 2022 or the 2009 pistols used by the French.

Glock 32
Police Captain Damien Tomaso (Cyril Raffaelli ) uses a Glock 32 - chambered for .357 sig. Since Glocks all look alike the only reference to this caliber is a French language article which mentions the actor using a 357 pistol. Since the character never touches a revolver or a Desert Eagle, and that this is a French movie with a French Armorer, I am assuming that his Glock is a Model 32.
Glock 32 .357 SIG
File:B13 Glock32.jpg Damien Tomaso points a Glock 32 - 357 sig
Glock 33
Though Tomasos' pistol is supposed to be a compact G32 in some of the scenes he seems to be firing a subcompact Glock. Since he is using the same ammunition (in the movie) it should be the Subcompact Glock 33.

Arsenal AR-SF
One of Taha's henchmen holds a AKS-74U style of weapon with a 5.56 waffle pattern magazine with an underfolding stock.

Colt Model 733
Actually a "733 looking gun". Being a French film and the fact that French Armorers always do strange things with their guns, we see what looks like a Colt Model 733 Short barreled Assault rifle. However the barrel looks a little too long to be the 11" for the real 733 and too short to be the 14" for the 653, so it seems to be an intermediate length barrel (which means it's a custom barrel job from a real M16 carbine). It is seen briefly when Taha's men storm out of the building.

Since the only angle of this weapon is down the barrel it's hard to tell. It looks to be a .308 with a heavy barrel weight/muzzle brake mounted at the end. Possibly an FRF2.

Machine Guns
M240B
M240Bs are used at gangland checkpoints and are also mounted on pickup trucks during a chase through the city. Being Europe these are most likely FN MAGs outfitted to look like M240B Machine guns (which have features that were requested by the U.S. Military).
