==Colt Python==
McBain has a Colt Python, but is never seen using it. Montoya (Don Pike) is seen using it during the ice cream truck chase.
 
 
==Smith & Wesson Model 10==
McBain's partner, Billy Dunbar (Thalmus Rasulala) is armed with what appears to be a Smith & Wesson Model 10.

Tarpley (James Andronica) and Blackburn (R.G. Armstrong) are seen armed with Beretta 92SB-C pistols.
==Luger P08==
Colonel Kartiff (Henry Silva) and the Russian Major (William Smith) use Luger P08 pistols throughout the film.

McBain uses a High Standard Model 10B when he goes down to Mexico.
=Submachine Guns=

Pantaro (Juan Fernández) uses a Micro Uzi with a combination scope and laser throughout the film. McBain uses a plain Micro Uzi briefly.

==M16A1==
M16A1s with A2-handguards are seen in the hands of the rebels and US troops.

Putting the distinctive A2 handguards on the older rifle was a method used by Movie/TV armorers to simulate A2 rifles when M16A1s were the only ones available. The same thing has been done vice-versa, Using M16A2's with A1 handguards for Vietnam War B Movies.
=Heavy Weapons/Explosives=
==.50 AN/M2==
Jeeps with mounted .50 AN/M2 machine guns are seen throughout the film. It's possible it's all just the same jeep.
==RPG-7==
Montoya shows Sharkey (Danny Trejo) an RPG-7 during the beginning of the film. This appears to be the same mockup seen in the film Rambo: First Blood Part II.

==M60E3==
Montoya tells Sharkey to use "the 308" on the pursuing McBain. This turns out to be an M60E3 machine gun.
==Hawk MM1 grenade launcher==
The Russian Major uses a Hawk MM1 grenade launcher at the end of the film. This is most likely the same launcher seen in The Dogs of War and The A-Team television series.
==M2A1-7 Flamethrower==
One of the rebels is armed with an M2A1-7 Flamethrower.
==Mk 2 hand grenade==
Sharkey tries to stop McBain with a Mk 2 hand grenade during the ice cream truck chase.
==M26 hand grenade==
Captain Shepard frees McBain with an M26 hand grenade.
=Miscellanea=
==AR-15 parts==
In a continuity error, the High Standard Model 10B morphs into a half assembled AR-15 with A1 handguards. This might be because the scene involved McBain beating up two guards with the weapon and they did not want to risk damage to the Model 10B.
==Faux T-72 and ZSU-23-4==
This film reuses the faux T-72 and ZSU-23-4 from Red Dawn.
==M75 APC==
This film also has a vintage M75 APC. The M75 was first fielded during the Korean War.
==BRDM-2==
This film also has what appears to be a real BRDM-2.
=="Faux" Mil Mi-24P "Hind-F" Gunship==
What is referred to in the film as an "Mi-24 Hind" helicopter is in reality a visually modified Sikorsky S-62, which has been fitted with wings, faux rocket pods and missiles, and a fake (and apparently non-functional) side-mounted cannon near the nose which is presumably supposed to be a Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-2K (making it a Hind-F variant), making the aircraft superficially resemble the famous Russian attack helicopter. The same modified helicopter was used to represent the Hind-F in several other films from the period, including Braddock: Missing in Action III from the same year and (with slightly more convincing modifications) 1989's Red Scorpion.
=="MBT-90 Thunderblast"==
America's newest tank, with armor "thick enough to survive anything from a Stinger to a ten-foot SAM" (which doesn't really say much; anti-aircraft missiles generally have almost no armor-piercing capabilities and would be no match for even modest tank armor). As the production rented vehicles from the same one from Red Dawn, this is likely the same modified tank chassis used for the Abrams in that film.
The vehicle features additional parts including a secondary AA turret based on that of the German Flakpanzer Gepard self-propelled AA gun (albeit with shorter guns which appear to be rotary), and bulky additions to the main gun based on the outline of the ARES 75mm gun of the High Survivability Test Vehicle (Lightweight) (HSTV-L) tank prototype from the early eighties. As with the "Brawl" tank in Transformers, this appears to have unbalanced the fake main turret, to the point the main gun is fitted with a fixed "travel lock" whenever the vehicle is shown moving, presumably to stop it from falling off the vehicle.
