The following weapons were used in the film Special Forces:
The Beretta 92FS is the sidearm carried by Tic-Tac (Benoît Magimel). He is seen using it with a suppressor during the rescue of Elsa. Elsa is also seen with the handgun.

Heckler & Koch MP5KA4
In addition to his M4A1, Lucas also carries a Heckler & Koch MP5KA4 fitted with a suppressor.
For the majority of the film, Kovax uses a Beretta ARX-160 as his main weapon. The rifle is fitted with a Beretta GLX-160 grenade launcher. During a scene where he is talking to Elsa while walking, his rifle briefly switches to a G36K due to a continuity mistake (we can only see the stock).
Marius (Alain Alivon) uses a Colt Model 727 carbine fitted with a M203 Grenade Launcher in addition to his MP5SD3. Elias (Raphaël Personnaz) also is seen using the carbine.
Special Forces units are armed with suppressed short-barrelled SIG SG 552 rifles with backup iron sights and ACOG TA11 optical sights during the Kosovo raid.
