WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!

Handguns

Glock 17

Marcus Greer (50 Cent) uses a 2nd generation Glock 17 as his primary firearm in the film. The Glock changes between a Glock "Non Gun" in several scenes. Justice (Tory Kittles) also uses a Glock 17 during the assassination attempt. He fires 9 rounds into Marcus' body, who amazingly survives. 50 Cent, whose life this film is based on, has survived a similar incident in real life.

Glock "Non Gun"

Junebug (Mpho Koaho) uses a Glock "Non Gun" to kill two police officers who are camping outside gangster Levar's house. One of Raoul's (Walter Alza) accomplices also uses a "Non Gun" Glock in the film. Non Guns are used when blanks are not needed, or deemed too dangerous when filming a scene. Non Guns only produce a flash and a puff of smoke and have no moving parts, which make them extremely safe to use in any conditions.

Glock "Non Gun"

Marcus holds his Glock on Bama during the robbery. Note how the Glock is now a non-gun. The Glock later turns back into a real Glock in the scene.

Junebug fires his Glock. In the scene, the slide does not move and no shells exit the gun; all indicative of a "Non Gun" Glock.

Beretta 92FS Inox

One of the cash machine operators during the robbery in the beginning of the film uses a nickel Taurus PT99AFS to fire at Marcus' crew. Kyrl (Omar Benson Miller) also chambers a Taurus during one of Marcus' recording sessions.

"Non Gun" Beretta Inox

Several Beretta 92FS Inox "Non Guns" make appearances in the film, obviously standing in for the real 92FS Inox. Raoul (Walter Alza) uses a "Non Gun" Inox during the shootout at a club (crippling Antwan), and to shoot up a recording session of Majestic's protege rap-star Dangerous (Michael Miller). Bama (Terrence Howard) also uses a Non Gun Inox during the climax of the film, to fire on Majestic (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) as he tries to stab Marcus with his cane-sword.
