Detroit 9000 is a 1973 blaxploitation film directed by Arthur Marks. Alex Rocco and Hari Rhodes star as two Detroit Police detectives who team up to investigate the theft of $400,000 from a political fundraiser. The film is notable for being a favorite of director Quentin Tarantino, who later re-released the film in 1998 under his Rolling Thunder distribution company.
The following weapons were used in the film Detroit 9000:
Revolvers
Smith & Wesson Military and Police Revolver
Detroit Police Department officers and criminals both use the Smith & Wesson M&P revolver with both the 5" and 6" barrel throughout the film. The revolvers appear to be the pre-Model 10 model. S&W began numbering their models in 1957.

Lieutenant Danny Bassett (Alex Rocco) carries a Colt Python as his sidearm.
Colt Detective Special

Detective Williams's partner Sam Orr (Ron Mcllwan) uses what appears to be a Smith & Wesson Model 20 as his sidearm. Note the lack of adjustable sights (combat sights), the tapered barrel and the half-moon front sight. The actor has large hands which makes the large framed revolver appear just average seized.
Pistols
Mauser C96
The criminals who rob Aubrey Hale Clayton's (Rudy Challenger's) fundraiser are armed with Mauser C96 pistols.
Star Model B
Sgt. Jesse Williams (Hari Rhodes) uses a nickel-plated Star Model B with pearl grips as his sidearm.

Other
Federal Gas Riot Gun
