''The Departed'' is a 2006 crime film directed by [[Martin Scorsese]] and stars [[Leonardo DiCaprio]], [[Matt Damon]], [[Mark Wahlberg]], and [[Jack Nicholson]]. The film is a remake of the 2002 Hong Kong crime film ''[[Infernal Affairs]]'' and went on to win Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director (the first for director Scorsese).

'''WARNING!: MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!'''
== SIG-Sauer P226/P228 ==

The [[Sig Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG P226|SIG-Sauer P226]] or [[Sig Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG P228|SIG-Sauer P228]] is used by all of the Massachusetts State Police officers in the movie, including [[Matt Damon]] as Sergeant Colin Sullivan, [[Anthony Anderson]] as Detective Brown, and numerous other characters. (NOTE: The actual gun used by Matt Damon is currently on display at the National Firearms Museum located at the NRA Headquarters in Fairfax, VA, and it is in fact a SIG-Sauer P228, not a P226).

In real life, the P226 has been standard-issue for the Massachusetts State Police since 1987. However, during the scene where Collin is sitting in a class on ballistics while at the academy, the instructor mentions that the department's service pistols are chambered for 9mm hollow-point rounds. This is a slight inaccuracy; the Staties have been using the .40 S&W version of the P226 since the mid-1990s (and more recently switched to the double-action-only DAK model, whereas the guns in the movie are SA/DA models).

==Astra A-100==

Although the [[Sig Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG P226|Sig-Sauer P226]] is standard-issue for the Massachusetts State Police (both in the movie and in real life), a close-up of Collin Sullivan ([[Matt Damon]]) firing his weapon at the academy uses an [[Astra A-100]]. This pistol looks similar to the [[Sig Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG P228|P228]], but it is a very different weapon. When Billy Costigan ([[Leonardo DiCaprio]]) is shown training on firearms at the academy, he also seems to be using this same pistol (probably the same prop gun).

== Colt Python ==

Mr. French ([[Ray Winstone]]) carries a snub-nose version of the [[Colt Python]] .357 Magnum throughout the film. It is seen most notably during the warehouse scene, when he cocks the weapon while it's concealed behind his back.

== Walther PPK ==

Billy Costigan ([[Leonardo DiCaprio]]) carries as his pistol throughout the movie a flat nickel [[Walther PPK]]. This weapon is later used by trooper Barrigan ([[James Badge Dale]]) and then eventually by Colin.

==Beretta 84BB Cheetah==

Frank Costello ([[Jack Nicholson]]) carries a [[Beretta Cheetah|Beretta 84BB Cheetah]] (the early model) as his sidearm throughout the movie. It is seen most notably when he confronts Billy about the possibility that he might be an informant.

==Mossberg 500 "Cruiser"==

A [[Mossberg 500 Cruiser]] is used by Delahunt ([[Mark Rolston]]) during the scene in which Costello's men kill Captain Queenan ([[Martin Sheen]]). He drops the weapon after being shot by Internal Investigations detectives.

==Olympic Arms K23B==

[[Olympic Arms K23B]] assault rifles, ultra-compact versions of the [[M16 rifle series|Colt CAR-15 Commando]] with 6.5-inch barrels, are used by several SWAT officers when they take down Costello at the end of the film.

==Heckler & Koch MP5A3==

During the warehouse scene, one of the Chinese thugs carries a [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A3|Heckler & Koch MP5A3]] fitted with a Surefire dedicated fore-end (but with no flashlight in the grip).

==AKMS==

An [[AK-47#AKMS|AKMS]]-type assault rifle is carried by one of the Chinese thugs in the warehouse (it looks like it might be a Chinese Norinco Type 56-1, but it's hard to tell because the weapon is never seen clearly).

==MAC-10==

One of Costello's men fires at the Massachusetts State Police with a [[MAC-10]] at the end of the film, despite Costello's earlier statement that his men don't carry machine guns.

[[M16 rifle series#M16A1 Rifle|M16A1]] and [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]] rifles are used by the police officers who perform the 3-volley salute at a funeral (all of them have A2 hand guards, but the receivers of some rifles are clearly A1 style).
