Del Toro's USP
I think that Del Toro's USP is actually a Mk23. I saw the film and the pistol has a screw hole thru the trigger guard like a Mk.23.--Insertjjs (talk) 17:03, 11 October 2015 (EDT)
M933s
Pretty sure the Mexican police have Mk.18s, the barrel looks too short for the Model 933. And one of the Delta guys has a Mk.18 as well.--Mandolin (talk) 23:14, 11 October 2015 (EDT)
Glock 22
Are we sure it's a Glock 22 and not the much more likely Glock 17? I imagine that somebody called it a 22 because the FBI uses that IRL, but the 17 is vastly more likely to show up in a movie.--Mandolin (talk) 23:16, 11 October 2015 (EDT)
- It looked more like a 9mm bore to me. --cool-breeze (talk) 16:25, 12 October 2015 (EDT)
Del Toro's Mark 23
It's definately a Mark 23, I've added another screenshot that very clearly shows it to be a Mark 23. --User:Armourpiercing (talk)

Which model is it? It doesn't appear to have any rail but neither does it have that strangely shaped trigger guard of the original model.--AnActualAK47 (talk) 19:38, 31 December 2015 (EST)
del Toro's Camera Angle (Sicario vs. The Way of the Gun)
I noticed something interesting while watching this film in the theater. At the end of the film there's a lower medium shot of Benicio del Toro aiming his HK Mark 23. It caught my eye because it has an uncanny similarity to another shot of del Toro aiming his 9mm Colt Government Model in The Way of the Gun. The resemblance is undeniable, down to his hold on the pistol and even his facial expression. Thought you all might find this interesting. --Caldwellb734 (talk) 15:08, 8 January 2016 (EST)
- He sure has aged since then.--AnActualAK47 (talk) 17:31, 8 January 2016 (EST)
- Aged very well. Like a badass Excalibur01 (talk) 20:40, 8 January 2016 (EST)
- The older he gets the more badass he looks, like Sean Connery (he's a bit older though)--AnActualAK47 (talk) 21:15, 8 January 2016 (EST)
- James Badge Dale does something similar. He repeats a one-handed pose with a pistol. --DeltaOne (talk) 01:06, 9 January 2016 (EST)

- The director and cinematographer aren't the same, so that's not the reason. But isn't this a common shooting stance and camera angle seen in movies? It's not hard to find moments in other movies showing other actors (such as Bruce Willis) assuming this stance while holding a handgun. --Mazryonh (talk) 22:45, 15 January 2016 (EST)
Another M4?
Watching this in 1080p during the bridge scene you can see what looks like an M4 with standard handguards being held by the driver's side passenger of the green Civic as Donovon approaches the car and the camera angle changes to the driver's side. --DeltaOne (talk) 05:17, 14 January 2016 (EST)
Airsoft?
How could you tell it was an Airsoft rifle? It could just be a Colt 933 or similar with a Magpul handguard. Excalibur01 (talk) 23:52, 15 January 2016 (EST)
- For one thing, the rifle is never actually fired at any point in the movie, and turns up often in non-firing scenes where characters are brandishing weapons. The only rifles which are clearly shown firing blanks are the M4A1s.--Markit (talk) 18:13, 16 January 2016 (EST)
- That...doesn't prove anything really. Del Toro's MP5 went to an SD in a non shooting scene and there's tons of other guns like the G36C that was never seen firing. We can't tell if those were props either. Excalibur01 (talk) 23:26, 16 January 2016 (EST)
