Drug Runners (1988)

Drug Runners is a virtually unknown 1988 action film directed by Allan Kuskowski that follows a DEA officer who follows an infamous drug lord to his fortress in Mexico to avenge the death of his partner. The whole film is legally available on YouTube.


The following weapons were used in the film Drug Runners:


Handguns

Taurus PT92

DEA agent John Temple (Jimmy Stathis) uses a Taurus PT92 in the beginning of the film.

Submachine Guns

IMI Micro Uzi

The other DEA agent, Thomas Wolfe (Chris Anderson), uses a Micro Uzi as his main sidearm, using it mostly in semi-automatic. The drug dealer Moretti (B.G. Fisher) also uses his own with a two-toned finish. Several other drug dealers are seen with them throughout the film. Temple is seen with one in his holster when he is promoted to a senior agent. The lack of automatic fire, along with having no stock, may indicate that the Micro Uzis used in this film are semi-automatic Micro Uzi pistols imported by Action Arms.

Heckler & Koch MP5K

Several drug dealer guards fire Heckler & Koch MP5Ks during the second drug bust.

IMI Uzi

Some of Lazzaro's bodyguards are seen with full-sized Uzis. DEA agents Hector Garcia (Alek Markham) and Temple use them when ambushed by Moretti in Mexico City, and continue using them throughout the rest of the film. Temple always keeps his with a small suppressor, while Garcia's has a flash hider. In one scene, it is obvious that a drug lab guard is using the same prop Uzi used by Temple.

Rifles

Colt AR-15 Carbine

One of the Moretti's henchmen in the beginning takes a Colt AR-15 Sporter Carbine from his car and fires at the agents. Some of the Mexico City ambushers also use them, as do guards at Lazzaro's compound during the final assault, filling in for the MCG M16s in some shots. In one scene in the finale, the magazine from a Carbine is visible falling out. Garcia also finds several Carbines in crates in Lazzaro's drug factory.

AKM

A guard is seen with an AKM. Moretti uses one without a stock while ambushing Temple. Another AKM with the same configuration is used by henchmen later in the movie, as well as Victor Lazzaro.

Type 84S

At one point, the AK used by Moretti appears to be a model loaded with a 5.56x45mm magazine, possibly a Chinese Type 84S.
