Pistols

HAFDASA Ballester-Molina

Others

Super Bazooka

The drug cartel gunmen fire a rocket launcher from the Bell Iroquois helicopter. The launcher looks similar to the M20A1/A1B1 "Super Bazooka" but differs in several details (note the different shape of grips at the business end). In any case firing the Bazooka from inside the helicopter is very dangerous for the crew.
