As his primary weapon in the film, a heavily modified version of the Smith & Wesson Performance Center Model 629, is used by Xander Cage (Vin Diesel). In addition to the assortment of non-lethal projectiles it can fire, it is also fitted with a serrated blade under the barrel, Crimson Trace laser pointer grips, an unfluted cylinder and a C-More red dot sight.
When Xander and Toby are checking out the high tech gadgets, Toby shows Xander special binoculars which have X-ray capabilities. He uses it to oggle a woman on the firing range in her underwear, who is firing a CZ 83 pistol.
Numerous members of the Colombian drug cartel can be seen carrying AKM rifles. Ivan Podrov (Martin Hub) is also seen using an AKM rifle during the assualt of the house, his being fitted with a AK-74-style muzzle brake and an M203 grenade launcher. The AKMs in the film appear to be converted civilian semi-auto only guns made to fire full-auto for the film. The biggest give away is how the civilian rifles have only a selector for semi and safe, no middle selector switch for full-auto. These rifles are seen firing full-auto when the selectors are cleary on the semi-auto mode.

The selector switch is clearly on full-auto, as the sequence on any select-fire AK is from top to bottom, "Safe, Auto, Semi" and the forward part of the selector switch/dust flap's "crescent" shape is in line with the receiver's dimple.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAlso the top of the selector's "elbow" is right at the edge of the top of the receiver under the path-of-travel of the charging handle. This position is full-auto. If the switch were moved down one more, by about 1/8" or half a centimeter, it would release the disconnector from its "free" position, allowing it to re-engage the hammer as the selector bottomed out at the final position.Error creating thumbnail: File missingIvan Podrov fires his AKM made up to look like an AK-74.

AKMSU
Ivan Pedgrag (Radek Tomecka) and most of the Czech police use AKMSU carbines during the assault on Yorgi's fortress.
During the raid on the drug cartel stronghold by the Colombian Army, a Bell 212 helicopter can be seen fitted with a M61 Vulcan. The 20mm blanks used for the Vulcan cost about $1 a round according to the director and that by using real blanks it cost about $2000 per minute to fire the gun.
An M134 is also seen in front of Xander's GTO amongst other weapons and equipment he wants built into his car before the final battle against Anarchy 99.
When looking over the weapons to put in the GTO, two Knight's Arament SR-25 sniper rifles are seen. They clearly have 7.62x51mm-style magazines and recievers to justify this, and are also fitted with Harris bipods.
It's not an SR-25, the gas block and forearm are wrong. Notice how the forearm has two rows of ventilation holes between the rails, the Knight RAS only has one. It's an Armalite AR-10 with a Daniel's Defense Lite Rail.
During the 'diner' scene, one of the N.S.A. agents posing as a robber brandishes a Remington 870 shotgun with a sawed-off barrel and stock. Xander comandeers the weapon, smacking its' owner in the face with it. He later fires the weapon at the specials sign to show that it's loaded with blank rounds.
When Xander is in hot pursuit of Ahaab in his Pontiac GTO, he removes a harpoon gun fitted with a C-more red dot sight from a hidden arsenal in the back seat. It appears to be a pistol grip Remington 870 shotgun with a heat shield and is heavily dressed up to look like a high tech harpoon grapple gun.
During the 'diner' scene, another of the N.S.A. agents posing as a robber threatens Xander with a "cop issue" Beretta 92FS pistol. A 92FS can also be seen in the hands of a Colombian soldier when they capture Xander in Colombia.
When Xander catches Yelena (Asia Argento) photographing Yorgi's safe, she pulls two Vektor CP1 pistols on him, one with a chrome slide. Xander however is able to almost effortlessly render her unable to harm him with them, much to Yelena's frustration. She later uses them to kill Milan Sova (Richy Müller), shooting him through the door as he's threatening Xander. When Xander asks how she was able to do so without hitting him as well, she claims to have been able to tell where the two were positioned in the room by the sound of their voices.
One of Yorgi (Marton Csokas)' henchmen, a former Soviet Army sniper named Kirill (Werner Daehn) can be seen using an PGM Ultima Ratio sniper rifle fitted with a sound suppressor. He first uses it when attempting to kill Xander when he's having lunch with Yelena (Asia Argento), then again when holding Czech police at bay during the raid on Yorgi's fortress.
Yorgi carries a Heckler & Koch USP Tactical as his sidearm throughout the movie, fitted with a laser pointer. He first uses it during the car deal with Xander during a brief standoff with him, then again when Xander is making his escape from Yorgi's fortress.

Note how Xander aims for Yorgi's Medula Ablongata, which would disconect his brain and kill him before he could even touch the trigger, while Yorgi foolishly aims for Xander's skull.
M203 Grenade Launcher
During the raid on Yorgi's fortress, Ivan Pedgrag (Radek Tomecka) uses a stand-alone model of the M203 grenade launcher to take out a machine gun nest. Another one appears mounted on the AKM of the other Ivan, as described above.
Several of Yorgi's henchmen can be seen using M4A1 Carbines during the film, fitted with Beta-C drum magazines, M68 Aimpoint red dot scopes, and RIS foregrips. Viktor (Jan Pavel Filipensky) also uses one, even turning the weapon against one of his comrades while trying to flee an avalanche. Yorgi himself also uses one when fleeing from his fortress (fitted with a Surefire M900 weaponlight foregrip in place of the standard RIS foregrip), killing one of "The Ivans". NSA commandos at the raid on Xander's apartment and in Colombia can also be seen with M4A1's, outfitted similarly to their Colt 9mm SMG's.

On a strange note, the commando is holding the M4A1 right handed, while his pistol attached to his left leg. He could be ambidextrous.
Skorpion SA Vz 61
During the confrontation in the safe house, Milan Sova (Richy Müller) pulls a Skorpion SA Vz 61 on Xander when he reveals he's joined forces with Yorgi, though is killed by Yelena before he can use it.
Following Xander's escape from Kirill, he sneaks back into Yorgi's fortress to do some recon work, but is caught and engaged in a firefight with Kolya (Petr Jákl) and Viktor while trying to escape, Kolya being armed with an FN P90.
During the raid on Yorgi's fortress, Xander procures an FN FNC fitted with a folding stock, C-More red dot sight, and Beta-C drum magazine from a hidden weapons cache Yelena reveals. When first using it, he neglectfully forgets to turn the safety off and after Yelena mows down the bad guys, turns it off for him. He later then fires it at Yorgi and fatally wounds him with it. He then hands it off to Shavers when he heads off in pursuit of the Ahab drone.
A Heckler & Koch UMP can be seen in the weapons cache that Yelena reveals, although it is not used. Several others can be seen in the hands of the guards around Yorgi's fortress, fitted with RIS foregrips & muzzle brakes, C-More red dot sights, as well as having two magazines strapped together with dual mag clamps or Beta-C style drum magazines.
Some of Yorgi's henchman use Heckler & Koch MP5A5 submachine guns fitted with quad rails and forgrips, and loaded with dual clamp and Beta-C magazines. They also look to be fitted with muzzle breaks.
Taken from the hidden weapons cache during the raid on Yorgi's fortress, Yelena uses a Steyr TMP, with a fixed stock added and a top-mounting rail for accessories. Mounted on top of the rail is a C-More sight. Unfortunately the film doesn't show any clear shots of Yelena firing the gun, as she does the classic "Close your eyes, spray and pray" technique which only works well in films.
Sorry, but it looks to me that she's not closing her eyes.
FN MAG Machine Gun
Part of the defenses of Yorgi's fortress includes a machine gun nest furnished with an FN MAG machine gun. This nest is destroyed by Ivan Pedgrag during the raid near the end of the film.
While chasing the Ahab drone, Yelena pulls up a weapons cache hidden in the back seat of Xander's GTO, which includes among other weapons, a Colt 9mm SMG, though the weapon is not used. At least one of the NSA commandos that storms Xander's apartment near the start of the film can also be seen using one of these, fitted with a Surefire M500AB forend weaponlight and C-more red dot sight mounted over the handguard.
What a appears to be a stainless SIG-Sauer P220 pistol is seen several times in the film, first in Xander's shoulder holster on the mountain fited with finger groove grips and then again seen in the GTO's hidden armory missing these grips.
During the opening scene, Kirill uses a SIG-Sauer P220 Sport fitted with a scope and custom sound suppressor to kill Agent Jim McGrath in the club and brandishes it several more times throughout the film (without the suppressor), using the weapon like a miniature sniper rifle. Kirill hands the pistol to Yorgi at one point when he's about to kill Xander and Yelena, but is stopped by the arrival of the Czech police as they begin their raid, instead using the pistol in a brief shootout with the protagonists before fleeing to launch Ahab.
When Yorgi's fortress is raided Xander and the Ivans are pinned down by Kirill's sniping, Xander sees they have a heat-seeking rocket launcher, which he refers to a "Bazooka" (which was a nickname for the rocket launchers during WWII, not a used term today), which according to director Rob Cohen was a mocked-up cam-corder. The side reads "MRL-12HS".
When Xander meets Augustus Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson) at the 'diner' after disarming the 'robbers', he explains how he was able to figure out that the robbery wasn't real, including firing the shotgun he comandeered in the diner, which causes the 'cook' to draw his SIG-Sauer P226, despite Xander's gun being loaded with blanks.
During the raid on Yorgi's fortress, one of the guards can be breifly seen armed with a Heckler & Koch G36K, fitted with a G36C-type carry handle, Beta-C drum magazine, and C-More red dot sight.
During the end credits sequence, an unknown woman appears brandishing a nickel plated Desert Eagle, using the gun's reflective finish as a mirror while putting on makeup.
In several scenes, NSA agents can be seen using Crossman Air Pistols loaded with tranquilizer darts to knock Xander unconscious; first when they raid his apartment, then at the 'diner'. In both instances he's able to pull the dart out just before passing out.
