first of all, when they go into the hotel at the beginning of the movie, what kind of gun does melvin have? it looks like a handgun, but knocks these guys across the room.
2nd, what are the rays of light coming off melvin when he throws that grenade deal? whats going on there?
when he pulls those curtains and shoots those guys in the back, how is he able to shoot the second guy? wouldnt he have heard the first guy get shot and turn around?
why does sisqo jump over that guy and pose when he shoots him?

lol at the last question.
I assume because thats just Ciscos character.

1. It was a handgun, probably a .45 but the director probably wanted to add some flair to it or somethin'.

2. The would be the effect of a flashbang grenade, a non lethal device that makes a lot of noise and light, which disorients its victims

3. He's quick and really freakin' good at what he does...Also, the second guy probably didn't hear the first guy get shot due to the aforementioned flashbang grenade...They are known to cause temporary deafness.

4. Because Cisco has a bit of a penchant for flair and theatrics.

Hope this helps.

The gun Melvin uses in the beginning of the movie is a Beretta M93R. It has an extended magazine and a flip down handle in the front. The handle is for stability when being used on 3 round burst or full auto.
