    Mallory (Gina Carano) carries a Glock 19 as her primary weapon. Aaron (Channing Tatum) is first seen with a SIG-Sauer P228. Mallory and Aaron are shown carrying Micro Uzis. Paul (Michael Fassbender), Kenneth (Ewan McGregor) and many other characters carry Glock 17s, the full-size 9 mm Glock. Glock's numbering system can be hard to remember because the number always relates to the patent associated with the weapon rather than the caliber it is chambered in.

    The target of the so-called "rescue" is named "Jiang" (Anthony Brandon Wong). This is one letter off from "Jang," as in Jang Song-Thaek, the uncle of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. Ironically, Kim Jong-un had Jang Song-Thaek executed in 2013. This is the same outcome "Jang" meets in this film. It was two years after this film's premiere.
