Error creating thumbnail: File missing WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Handguns
Smith & Wesson 5906
Gangster Jimmy Dolan (Christian Slater) carries a Smith & Wesson 5906 as his sidearm throughout the film. He most notably wields it during the beginning of the film, killing two of his henchmen.
Smith & Wesson Model 460
Tom Robinson (Wes Bentley) buys and carries a Smith & Wesson Model 460 throughout the latter part of the film. He trains with it several times, planning to avenge his wife's death. At one point, Dolan takes this hand cannon from Robinson, but decides to leave the gun to him. Looking at this, you might initially think of the same X-frame Smith & Wesson Model 500, but the shape of the muzzle brake is different. Note how this is an extremely poor choice for a first gun, and a pretty expensive and impractical one at that. Robinson only wants the gun because it's "three times as powerful as Dirty Harry's", to be sure that he would be able to kill Dolan with it. The first time Robinson fires the gun, it literally knocks him to the ground and the hydrostatic shock from the .460 S&W Magnum cartridge is so intense that it dislodges part of a dirt hill at the shooting range. It should also be noted that there is a view down the barrel during this scene and there is no rifling present.
Beretta 92FS
Chief (Greg Bryk), Dolan's bodyguard and right-hand man, carries a Beretta 92FS as his sidearm throughout the film. Dolan also wields Chief's Beretta near the end of the film.
Smith & Wesson Model 64
When Tom Robinson (Wes Bentley) goes to the gun store, he briefly holds a stainless steel Smith & Wesson Model 64 revolver (identifiable by the cylinder release latch). He considers buying it, but decides against it because he asks for a gun three times as powerful as Dirty Harry's .44 Magnum Model 29, which is what leads him to the Model 500 in .500 S&W Magnum.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A2
A Heckler & Koch MP5A2 can be seen in a poster outside a gun store.
Shotguns
Franchi SPAS-15
One of the rival gangsters uses a semi-automatic Franchi SPAS-15 shotgun to fire at Dolan's bulletproof Cadillac, to no avail.
Assault Rifles
Heckler & Koch G36K
A rival gangster uses a Heckler & Koch G36K fitted with a red-dot sight to fire at Dolan's bulletproof Cadillac, in an attempt to take over his business.
Colt Model 727 with M203 Grenade Launcher
One of the rival gangsters uses a Colt Model 727 fitted with an underbarrel M203 grenade launcher to fire at Dolan's Cadillac.
Others
Various Guns
In the gun store, there are several rifles and handguns on display, but none are ever seen clearly enough to identify them.
