Rhodes holding Letty at gunpoint
- Kimber Warrior SOC (TFS): Rhodes' first sidearm was fitted with a SureFire X300 weaponlight. He gave it to Cipher, who then gave it to Toretto for him to aim at her head. It was then returned to Rhodes, and he later used it to hold Letty at gunpoint in order to steal the nuclear launch codes. He aimed it at her head as Toretto did the same to him with his own firearm until she gave them up. He later aimed it at Toretto when he attempted to put the car in gear, but he put it away after he was instructed to take out Toretto's crew. After he made Rhodes miss his shot, the two engaged in a hand-to-hand fight, but he attempted to shoot Toretto. He fired it, but was quickly disarmed and killed.
- Ruger LC9s: Rhodes disarmed Letty of her two-tone pistol.
- Glock 17: Rhodes' second sidearm was a suppressed Glock 17. He used it to execute Elena with two shots under the orders of Cipher.
