The following guns were used in the film Desperado

Desperado (1995)

Guitar Case MAC-10

Campa (Carlos Gallardo) shows up to the firefight with a pair of guitar case machine guns. Robert Rodriguez has commented that the guitar case machine guns were built from MAC-10s.

Note how in this shot, the tube is clearly empty.

Ruger P90

El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) packs matching Ruger P90s as his main weapons in the film. Tavo (Tito Larriva) fires a Ruger P90 at El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) as he flees the shootout at the Tarasco bar. It's likely that it's one of Banderas's P90s simply being reused in a different scene. The Ruger P90 is also the pistol Tavo (Tito Larriva) uses to put a bullet through The Pick Up Guy's (Quentin Tarantino) head.

Wildey

El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) carries a scoped Wildey Magnum pistol in his guitar case. One of Bucho's hitmen also carried a Wildey Magnum in the movie.

Sawn-Off Shotgun

El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) can also be seen firing a sawn-off shotgun 12 gauge. The magic of movies allows him to fire up to six shots from only two barrels before reloading.

The client is always wrong.

Desert Eagle

Tavo (Tito Larriva) fires a black Desert Eagle of unknown caliber at El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) as he flees the shootout at the Tarasco bar. Bucho (Joaquim de Almeida) also begins to kill his own men with the same black Desert Eagle. El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) later kills one of Bucho's henchmen on the roof of Carolina's (Salma Hayek) bookstore who is holding the same black Desert Eagle.

Beretta 93R

Bucho (Joaquim de Almeida) seems to have a taste for exotic pistols, the Beretta 93R he carries is a very rare version of Beretta's popular 92FS model capable of 3-round burst fire. Bucho (Joaquim de Almeida) passes his 93R to Zamira (Angel Aviles) who makes use of its burst fire capability in the attack on Navajas (Danny Trejo). The Beretta 93R is later reused by one of Bucho's henchmen who fires at El Mariachi as he jumps from the roof of Carolina's (Selma Hayek) book store.

Bucho, like most men in Desperado, shoots with his eyes closed.

Codpiece Revolver

Although we never see the codpiece revolver fire it's one of the few firearms in the film with dialogue devoted to it. This same codpiece revolver was later reused by Robert Rodriguez in From Dusk Till Dawn.

Unknown Revolver

The Tarasco bartender (Cheech Marin) fires a suppressed revolver of unknown make and model.

MAC-10

Most of Bucho's (Joaquim de Almeida) men are armed with suppressed MAC-10 machine pistols that are most prominently featured in the Tarasco bar shootout. You will recognize the scene between El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) and Empty Gun Man (Diego Sandoval) as inspiration for a similar scene between Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) and Neo (Keanu Reeves) in The Matrix.

Sentinel Arms Stryker 12

In the shootout at the Oro verde bar in Saragosa, El Mariachi pulls out a Sentinel Arms Stryker 12, along with the sawed off 12 gauge, that Buscemi described as "The biggest hand cannon I've ever fucking seen." This is the gun that is launched into the air and grabbed by El Mariachi right before the shooting starts. Sadly, this is the only instance in the film where this gun appears.
