==Colt Python==
=Handguns=
Middle Salim ([[Ashutosh Lobo Gajiwala]]) carries a 4 inch barrel [[Colt Python]] in .357 Magnum (judging by the ribbed barrel, a feature that is unique to the Colt). He first uses it to execute Maman ([[Ankur Vikal]]) in the brothel and later uses it to threaten Middle Jamal ([[Tanay Chheda]]) telling him that he's claiming Middle Latika ([[Tanvi Ganesh Lonkar]]) for himself (this heartbreaking moment helps Jamal answers the "Who invented the revolver?" question). Salim ([[Madhur Mittal]]) keeps a Python while working for Javed ([[Mahesh Manjrekar]]) as a hitman. Near the end, Salim dumps hundreds of thousands of Rupees (Indian Currency) into a bathtub and sits in the tub, allowing himself to be killed by Javed's men, but not before killing him with a shot from the gun.
==Beretta 92FS==
Two of Javed's henchmen are armed with [[Beretta 92FS]] pistols.

=Revolvers=
==Colt Python==
Salim carries a 4 inch barrel [[Colt Python]] as his sidearm, which he refers to as a "a Colt .45", an error as the Python fires the .357 ammunition instead of the .45 caliber.

==Lee Enfield No1. MkIII==
=Rifles=
Mumbai police officiers escorting Jamal ([[Dev Patel]]) to the television station are armed with [[Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE)|Lee Enfield No.1 Mk.III]] bolt action rifles, which is the standard rifle of the Mumbai Police.
==Ishapore 2A1==
Mumbai police officers escorting Jamal (Dev Patel) to the television station are armed with [[SMLE|Ishapore 2A1]] bolt action rifles, which is the standard rifle of the Mumbai Police.

==Beretta 92FS (?)==
One of Javed's men can be be seen with a [[Beretta 92FS]] (it could also be a [[Taurus PT92]], which is like the Beretta but it has a frame mounted safety. I need help with this one).
