Gotti is a 1996 HBO biopic of American mafioso John Gotti that was directed by Robert Harmon (The Hitcher, the Jesse Stone series) and starred Armand Assante in the title role, with William Forsythe, Richard C. Sarafian, Frank Vincent and Anthony Quinn. The film was the highest rated original film for HBO at the time it first aired, and its success led to The Sopranos being greenlit, which also featured costars Tony Sirico, Vincent Pastore and Dominic Chianese.
The following weapons were used in the film Gotti (1996):
Taurus PT92AF
Ralph Galione (Michael A. Miranda) shoots Westies gangster James McBratney (uncredited) with a Taurus PT92AF. An assassin later uses one to shoot Tommy Bilotti (Ron Gabriel).
Beretta 92FS
Joe D'miglia (Tony Sirico) uses a suppressed Beretta 92FS to kill Ralph Galione for botching the McBratney hit. John Gotti (Armand Assante) later is seen with a Beretta tucked into his belt. As these scenes occurred in the early seventies, the presence of the Beretta 92FS is an anachronism.
Star Model B
Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano (William Forsythe) uses a Star Model B to kill his brother-in-law Nick Scibetta (Frank Crudele). It jams twice before Sammy is able to fire a round.
Smith & Wesson Model 15 Snubnose
Joe D'miglia (Tony Sirico) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 15 Snub when assassinating Gambino boss Paul Castellano (Richard C. Sarafian).
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Another assassin uses a Smith & Wesson Model 36 when assassinating Paul Castellano.
Smith & Wesson Model 10HB
Another assassin uses a Smith & Wesson Model 10HB to shoot Tommy Bilotti.
M1911-type
An assassin uses an unknown M1911-type pistol when assassinating Paul Castellano. There are not enough details to make a more definitive ID.
Impossible to determine
Two weapons are impossible to ID due to lack of details.
