==Custom M16==

A Galil MAR is used by Er Ge (Kai Chi Liu) during the rescue scene.
=Shotguns=

Remington 870 shotguns are seen in the hands of PTU officers guarding the prisoner convoy when they are ambushed by the Triads.
=Sniper Rifles=
==Heckler & Koch PSG-1==
The Heckler & Koch PSG-1 sniper rifle is prominently used by Chen (Edison Chen) throughout much of the film, and by Ching (Huang Xiaoming) in flashback sequences. The rifle itself is a fake that was created by combining a long barrel with a PSG-1 forearm, buttstock and pistol grip on an HK91/G3 body, similar to the H&K SR9 rifles seen in Hollywood productions.
== Tokyo Marui PSG-1 (AEG) ==
For non-firing scenes, characters use an airsoft PSG-1, made by Tokyo Marui.

==Heckler & Koch G3SG/1==
Several members of the SDU sniper team are armed with Heckler & Koch G3SG/1 rifles. Note that this is just a standard H&K G3 that's made to look like a G3SG/1 rifle. Although it's fitted with an SG/1 stock, it lacks the set trigger that's characteristic of factory SG/1 rifles.

==Mk 12 Mod 1 SPR==
Suppressed Mk 12 Mod 1 Special Purpose Rifles with Harris bipods, 20-round magazines and no iron sights are used by Fang and Chen, notably during a scene where Chen attempts to replicate Ching's shots and during the finale.
== Norinco Type 85 ==
Ching (Huang Xiaoming) uses the Norinco Type 85, a Chinese copy of the SVD Dragunov, as his primary sniper rifle throughout much of the film.
== Barrett M82A1 (Mock-up)==
In the finale, Ching uses a Barrett M82A1 alongside his Type 85, engaging in a lengthy duel with Fang, Chen and the rest of the SDU sniper team. We could note that between the moment when he is filmed from his back and from his front, his rifle switches from a G3SG/1 to the Barrett M82A1. In the French version, Fang says Ching is using a 50 millimeters as opposed to .50 inches.
Also, this prop gun appears to be a mock-up incorporating a SKS rifle receiver.
