D&L Sports Professional Model Longslides

The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) carries as his sidearms custom 1911-series D&L Sports Professional Model Longslides with ornate smiley-face grips to match the Comedian logo. They have "Nixon 1970" written on the grips, indicating they were a gift from Nixon for serving in the Vietnam war. At the beginning of the film, The Comedian tries to bring up one of his 1911s (fitted with a sound suppressor) to combat the attacking assailant in his home but fires off one stray shot to no avail and is disarmed. For the most part, these guns are only seen in his holsters or in a presentation case any other time. Anachronistically, the guns have Picatinny Rails, a technology that wasn't invented until the mid 1990s.

+'''''Watchmen''''' is the 2009 feature film adaptation of the DC Comics graphic novel series created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. Set in an alternate 1985 where super-powered individuals have existed for decades, the film follows a group of retired superheroes now shunned by the public, but have to work together when one of their original members is found murdered. The film was directed by [[Zack Snyder]] (''[[Sucker Punch]]'') and the cast includes [[Jeffrey Dean Morgan]], [[Billy Crudup]], [[Malin Akerman]], [[Carla Gugino]], [[Patrick Wilson]], and [[Jackie Earle Haley]]. The comic book series would be adapted again with an [[Watchmen (2019 Series)|original series sequel]] that premiered on [[HBO]] in October of 2019.
-The Comedian ([[Jeffrey Dean Morgan]]) uses an [[M79 grenade launcher]] to fire smoke rounds at people trying to vandalize the buildings with the phrase "Who watches the Watchmen?" in the rioting crowds. He even hits one rioter dead on with a smoke round during the "American Dream" scene. It is also seen in his closet when Rorschach ([[Jackie Earle Haley]]) is checking out his apartment.

+{{Film Title}}
-The Comedian ([[Jeffrey Dean Morgan]]) uses a Flamethrower to light his cigar with the pilot and then burn a Victor Charlie soldier while in Vietnam. He can also be seen posing with it in Movie Posters. It appears to be a fictional mockup not specifically based on any real flamethrowers, although it resembles an [[M2 Flamethrower]] in the graphic novel.

-==M1911A1==
-The Comedian ([[Jeffrey Dean Morgan]]) uses his issued [[M1911A1]] sidearm in the film to kill a pregnant Vietnamese woman ([[Nhi Do]]) when she slashes him with a broken bottle for leaving her and the baby behind behind. During the film's opening credits, a criminal armed with an M1911A1 is shown being foiled by a young Night Owl I ([[Clint Carleton]]). We also see a criminal try to draw a nickel plated 1911 fitted with ivory grips when attempting to kill Dr. Manhattan ([[Billy Crudup]]), but is blown up horrifically before he can fire off a shot.

+A [[Smith & Wesson Model 586]] with a four inch barrel is used by Roy Chess ([[Douglas Chapman]]) to fire at Adrian Veidt ([[Matthew Goode]]) and shoot two employees (killing one) before Veidt hits him with a pole. In the novel the gun was based on a Beretta Model 70.

+A [[Walther PPK]] is left at Moloch's ([[Matt Frewer]]) side after he is murdered. The assassin who killed Moloch is seen unscrewing the suppressor before placing it next to him.

+During the opening sequence summing up the past, Hippies stick flowers into the barrels of [[M1 Garand]] rifles of U.S. Army military policemen before the MPs fire them on the hippies, flowers still in the muzzles. This is an homage to the famous photograph where a protester places a flower in the barrel of an MP's [[M14 Rifle]]. In reality, MPs in the U.S. did use [[M14 Rifle]]s during this time period. National Guardsmen (as in the Kent State shooting in 1970) were armed with M1 Garands.

+Seen mounted on the forward ventral turret of a US B-29 "Superfortress" bomber plane flying over Japan after dropping one of the nuclear bombs, are four [[Browning M2 Aircraft]] air-cooled units. This is a goof, as only the forward upper turret of the B-29 was fitted with four M2s, the other three, including the forward ventral turret, were only fitted with two. In any case, all "Silverplate" B-29s (B-29s modified to carry nuclear weapons) had their gun turrets removed to save weight.

+A thug is seen foiled by The Comedian ([[Jeffrey Dean Morgan]]) in the opening credits while firing an [[Thompson Submachine Gun#M1921 Thompson|Colt M1921AC Thompson]] into the air. In the special features the gun is revealed to be a specially built prop (likely a battery operated airsoft gun) that cycles the bolt slowly so the shot could be achieved. A rod was attached to the barrel to keep it level, as the weight would surely make holding it at such an angle one-handed difficult.
