Pistols

Beretta 92FS

A security guard at the Centro Atomico in Buenos Aires carries a Beretta 92FS with a suppressor, which he uses against Pontrémoli (Daniel Valenzuela). It could also be a Taurus PT92, but there's nothing to indicate that.

He gives up at the last moment when he sees Díaz pointing his own gun at him, making the suppressor useless.

Taurus PT92AFS

Lebonian's main sidearm throughout the film is a Taurus PT92AFS with a silver suppressor in some scenes.

A perfect shot that reveals that this pistol is a Taurus PT92AFS due to the characteristic markings of Taurus handguns.

Bersa Thunder 9

Alfredo Díaz carries a Bersa Thunder 9 as his main sidearm in the film. Díaz aims his Bersa Thunder 9 at Diana (Gabriela Izcovich) to made her confess her infidelity. Mariano Silverstein (Diego Peretti) briefly fires Díaz's handgun at the police station shooting range.

Glock 19

Lomianto (Ernesto Claudio) arrives at Mariano's house armed with a Glock 19, with the intention of murder him for knowing too much about Lebonian's corruption activities. The gun may be an airsoft replica or a "Non-gun" due to the gun's strange frame and lack of magazine.

Diana (Gabriela Izcovich) takes the Glock 19 on Mariano's recommendation. She is noticeably terrified by the situation to the point of shooting Lomianto just by looking at him, the latter being saved by Diana's terrible aim.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

Some PFA officers are briefly seen carrying two Heckler & Koch MP5A3s when Mariano tries to infiltrate the building where Díaz is being held.

When Mariano and Díaz escape from the place with Lebonian and some companions, some officers armed with Heckler & Koch MP5A3s appear at the scene but cannot prevent the escape since they arrived late.

Heckler & Koch MP5K

During Mariano and Díaz's helicopter escape, their companions find a box with several MP5Ks. Pontrémoli claims that the MP5K fires 24 shots per second (highly exaggerated...) and uses it as his main weapon during the ambush at the Centro Atomico in Buenos Aires.

Pontrémoli refers to the Heckler & Koch MP5K as an extremely expensive gun to obtain. Taking into account that we are talking about Argentina in 2005, the statement is somewhat exaggerated.
Pontrémoli explains to Mariano how the Heckler & Koch MP5K works, giving him some tips to handle the weapon correctly.

Shotguns

MagTech MT 586

Farina (Marcelo Sein) uses a MagTech MT 586 during the rescue of Mariano and Díaz at the police station. He possibly took it from a police officer guarding Lebonian, who was also carrying the MT 586.
