The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada is a 2005 neo-Western drama that focuses on the mystery of the death of a young Mexican man near the US-Mexico border.

The following weapons were used in the film The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada:
Handguns

Ruger Mini-14
A Ruger Mini-14 along with another rifle are seen alongside several ranchers in Mexico. This firearm would theoretically be illegal to own in Mexico, being chambered in .223 Remington - which is a "military type" caliber, as all "military" calibers are banned in Mexico for civilian use (unless it were in 6.8 SPC or .222 Remington, which are two calibers offered by Ruger in Mexico).
