Corrected entry: When Lara and her partner are going face forward down the rope, they are actually anchored to the rope as one can see the rope being lowered with them attached; esp. his rope on ground level.

Corrected entry: Due to stringent gun laws in Hong Kong, security guards and criminals do not carry guns as the punishment for that is a long jail sentence. Gangsters use low-level criminals to carry weapons, but those are all stolen police revolvers or Chinese pistols. Lara would also never have been able to get her guns into Hong Kong. All firearms used in the movie while shooting in Hong Kong were replicas.
Correction: Presumably, Lara and Terry entered Hong Kong illegally and smuggled her weapons in. It's not likely they went through customs.
Correction: That's right. The ropes are on some sort of pulley system, so they are holding on the ropes and being lowered, not sliding down them.
