Pistols

M1911A1

Thomas Murphy (Kevin Costner) carries a pair of nickel M1911A1s with pearl grips and extended slide-stops as his sidearms in the first half of the film, notably dual-wielding them during the casino heist. He loses these guns after being arrested in Boise, Idaho, and later receives a replacement M1911A1 with a standard finish from his friend Jack (Howie Long). During the casino heist, a Las Vegas police officer attacks Murphy's gang with a SIG-Sauer P226, which briefly changes to an M1911A1 in a continuity error (see Misc.)

Beretta 92FS

The casino security guards carry Beretta 92FS pistols and use them during the heist shootout. During the final shootout at the warehouse, some of the police officers surrounding the area are also armed with Beretta 92FS pistols.

Smith & Wesson 5946

Michael (Kurt Russell) carries a Smith & Wesson 5946 as his sidearm in the early part of the film, at one point using it to threaten Cybil (Courtney Cox) when she refuses to hand over her car keys (hey, he already gave her a big wad of cash, what else is he gonna do?). Presumably, he loses it when he too is arrested in Boise, Idaho.

Walther P99

Franklin (Bokeem Woodbine) is seen holding an empty Walther P99 in the casino elevator as the Las Vegas police officer attacks the gang. It's not clear where the pistol came from, as he is never seen wielding it (or firing it) at any other point.

SIG-Sauer P226

The Las Vegas police officer that corners the gang in the casino elevator is armed with a SIG-Sauer P226. He shoots Franklin (Bokeem Woodbine) several times before Murphy (Kevin Costner) disarms him and shoots him in the head. Near the end of the movie, Jack briefly draws his own P226 when Michael and Murphy have their standoff in the warehouse.

Revolvers

Smith & Wesson Model 629

Smith & Wesson Model 686

Just before the warehouse shootout, Jack (Howie Long) is seen loading a Smith & Wesson Model 686. Michael (Kurt Russell) catches Jack off guard and disarms him, then holding the weapon on Jack and Murphy (Kevin Costner) until the SWAT team arrives and he drops it.

Submachine Guns

FN P90

Hamilton (Ice-T) uses a pair of FN P90s wielded akimbo during the warehouse shoot out. In one of the cooler (and kind of stupid) scenes, Hamilton rides a zip line upside down, spraying both P90s at the SWAT officers as he spins around. He is quickly gunned down, of course, for exposing himself as such an easy target.

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

U.S. Marshal Damitry (Kevin Pollak), U.S. Marshal Quigley (Thomas Haden Church) and all the SWAT team officers use Heckler & Koch MP5A3s fitted with Surefire dedicated fore end weaponlights and laser sights during the final shoot out in the warehouse.

Shotguns

Franchi SPAS-12

Murphy's (Kevin Costner) main weapon during the casino heist is a Franchi SPAS-12. He kills several security guards, reloads mid-fight, and proceeds to kill several more guards before discarding the weapon as he flees.

Mossberg 500

Just before the final shoot out in the warehouse, Murphy (Kevin Costner) is given a short-barreled Mossberg 500 fitted with rear and forward pistol grips, a heat shield, and a shell holder. He uses the weapon to shoot Michael (Kurt Russell) after the SWAT team shows up, and briefly uses it to shoot at the SWAT team members. This is the same shotgun used in Reindeer Games, Smokin' Aces 2: Assassins' Ball, and other films and television series filmed in Vancouver.

Rifles

Custom Rocky Mountain Arms Patriot Pistol

During the casino heist, Gus (David Arquette) and Franklin (Bokeem Woodbine) use strange-looking compact assault rifles. One of these weapons is also used by Murphy (Kevin Costner) for the first part of the warehouse shoot out at the end of the movie. These weapons are custom-built Rocky Mountain Arms Patriot Pistol "carbines", built by fitting Patriot Pistol upper receiver/barrel assembles to the lower receiver/telescoping stocks of some other M16 carbine variants, mostly likely the XM177 or Model 654. The armorers then added M4-style carry handles and 100-round Beta-C magazines. Guns similar to these have also been seen in Congo and Soldier (coincidentally, the latter is another movie that starred Kurt Russell).

(Fake) Colt XM177

Hanson (Christian Slater) and Michael (Kurt Russell) use M16 carbine variants that are mocked up to resemble Colt XM177s during the the casino heist. Michael never fires his weapon at any of the security guards, but at one point uses the weapon to shoot out a glass ceiling above a group of pursuing guards. Michael later passes his gun to Murphy (Kevin Costner) as the group makes their escape onto the casino's roof, and Murphy uses it against casino security.

All of these rifles are fake XM177s which seem to have been built from other AR variants. The real XM177 has a slab-side receiver, which only Michael's gun has (at least when he's in the elevator). The rifles used by the other robbers have both M16A2-style receivers (forward assist, brass deflector, and M16A2-style rear sight) and Model 715-style receivers (forward assist, brass deflector, and M16A1-style rear sight). This means that they're probably other AR carbine variants with chopped barrels and fake XM177 flash hiders fitted. Most of the Hollywood "XM177s" seen in movies are just like these (see also The Rock, for instance).

That means it's some other M16 carbine variant with a chopped barrel and fake XM177 flash hider welded on.

Ruger Mini-14

Pit Boss #1 (Paul Anka) and a couple of plain-clothes security guards use Ruger Mini-14s when confronting the robbery crew on the roof of the casino. At least one of the rifles (the one carried by Pit Boss #1) is fitted with a Government Barrel.

Machine Guns

Daewoo K3

During the final shoot out in the warehouse, Jack (Howie Long) arms himself with a light machine gun. While it may appear to be an M249 Paratrooper, it is in fact a Daewoo K3, which stands in for the M249 in almost all productions filmed in British Columbia. After Jack is killed, Murphy (Kevin Costner) subsequently picks up the K3 and uses it for his last stand.

Misc.

Las Vegas police officer's P226/M1911

Near the end of the Casino shoot out, a Las Vegas police officer corners the gang in an elevator, sticking his pistol between the closing doors. In a continuity error, the gun briefly changes from a SIG-Sauer P226 to an M1911A1.
