Pistols

Stechkin APS

Kim Sun-woo (Lee Byung-hun) uses a Stechkin APS pistol for much of the latter half of the film, stealing it from a weapons dealer who claims it is the "finest gun manufactured in Russia". Although the Stechkin is select-fire, Sun-woo only fires it in semi-automatic.

Smith & Wesson Model 60

The gun on the film's poster looks like a Smith & Wesson Model 60 and it is present in the arms cache when the gun dealer's brother acquires some weapons, though he does not pick it up. Another Model 60 is seen when Sun-woo collects some guns and ammunition after killing the gun dealers when searching through the bags, and even though he does take it for himself, he never uses it during the finale.

Submachine Guns

Steyr SPP

A Steyr SPP, mounted with a front grip and converted to fire full-automatic possibly to give the appearance of a Steyr TMP, is used by the arms dealer Myung-gu (Oh Dal-su) before Sun-woo (Lee Byung-hun) kills him, taking the gun for himself and using it for the rest of the film. Another slightly-modified Steyr SPP is used by one of Baek's thugs in the finale, but he is killed by the gun dealer's brother before he can ever fire it.
