Error creating thumbnail: File missing Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011)Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows Sherlock Holmes (2009) Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law return as well as director Guy Ritchie for the sequel. The film's cast includes Noomi Rapace and Jared Harris.
The following weapons were used in the film Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows :
Handguns Webley Mk V In the alleyway brawl, an attacker (uncredited) pulls a Webley Mk V on Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr. ), but Holmes is able to take it away. Madam Simza Heron (Noomi Rapace ) hands Holmes one before he and Watson (Jude Law ) infiltrate the Meinhard factory.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing .455 Webley Mk.V revolver. Error creating thumbnail: File missing The one-eyed attacker with his Webley. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Holmes is threatened by the Webley. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Holmes unloads the revolver. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Holmes handing the now empty weapon back. Note the shape of the grips. Error creating thumbnail: File missing A good shot of the Webley in the hands of the attacker. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Holmes with another Webley Mk V in the Heilbronn factory. Webley Bulldog Mary Watson (Kelly Reilly ) pulls out Watson's Webley Bulldog on their honeymoon train. Dr. Watson later uses it to fend off the assassins.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Webley "British" Bulldog Revolver. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Mary finds her husband's revolver. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Mary holds the Bulldog on one of the assassins before her husband tosses him off of the train. Error creating thumbnail: File missing John takes the Bulldog back to check the train for more assassins. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Watson checks the hallway with the revolver in hand. Error creating thumbnail: File missing That's... unfortunate. Webley No. 5 Holmes fires upon the assassins with what appears to be a Webley No.5 revolver before handing it off to Watson.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Nickle-plated Webley No.5 with Adams type ejector. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Holmes hands Watson his revolver. Sharps Model 1A Pepperbox Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey, Jr. ) carries a Sharps Model 1A Pepperbox pistol while dressed in drag on the train to Brighton, and Watson (Jude Law ) uses it to disable one of Moriarty's henchmen manning the machine gun.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Sharps Model 1A - .22 Short Error creating thumbnail: File missing Holmes checks the hallway with his drawn pepperbox. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Watson with the pepperbox as he and Holmes take cover. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Watson fires on the assassins with the pepperbox. Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer Colonel Sebastian Moran (Paul Anderson ) shows Holmes with a box full of Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer pistols in the Meinhard factory in which Holmes later acquires one during the shootout in the factory.
Note: The use of this gun in the movie is anachronistic as it's set in 1891 while the Mauser M712 used in the film wasn't commercially available until 1932. It is implied that the C96 design is a prototype developed by Moriarty's weapons designers for the impending war he desires to start.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer with 10-round magazine - 7.63x25mm Mauser. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Mauser C96 "Broomhandle" - 7.63x25mm Mauser, for comparison. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Moran boasts to Holmes about his brand new automatic pistol. Error creating thumbnail: File missing A box full of M712 pistols. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Holmes picks up a M712. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Holmes shoots a soldier in the train shed during the escape. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Holmes loads a fresh magazine into his M712. Mle 1892 Revolver Anarchist Claude Ravache (Thierry Neuvic ) shoots himself with a Mle 1892 Revolver . Watson later picks it up to confront the other anarchists. Watson still has this revolver, or another copy when he and Holmes infiltrate the Meinhard factory.
N.B. This is another anachronism, when the film is set in 1891, one year before the revolver's availability. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Modele d’Ordonnance Mle 1892 Revolver - 8 x 27mm SR Error creating thumbnail: File missing Spoiler? Error creating thumbnail: File missing Watson opens fire on the anarchists. Error creating thumbnail: File missing A shot of the revolver tucked in Watson's pants. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Watson with his revolver out while pinned down by Moran. Chamelot-Delvigne Model 1873 Andrzej (Vladimir 'Furdo' Furdik ) is armed with a Chamelot-Delvigne Model 1873 during the factory escape.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Chamelot-Delvigne Mle. 1873 (blued) - 11mm. This example appears to have a broken trigger return spring and something wrong with the loading gate. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Andrzej with his revolver. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Andrzej with his revolver, Watson with the custom SMG, and Holmes with a M712. Harrington & Richardson revolver Rene Heron (Laurence Possa ) attempts to kill the British Prime Minister with what appears to be a break-open Harrington & Richardson revolver .
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Harrington & Richardson Premier 2nd Model - 4th Variation - .32 S&W Error creating thumbnail: File missing Watson struggles with Rene. Error creating thumbnail: File missing A shot of the front of the cylinder as Rene struggles with Watson. It appears to only hold five rounds. Error creating thumbnail: File missing A brief shot of the grips as Rene is disarmed. Shotguns Winchester M1887 One of Moriarty's train hitmen tries to fire a Winchester Model 1887 shotgun on Holmes and Watson, but sets himself on fire due to Holmes' sabotage. When Moriarty's attacker squeezes the trigger, a scene shows rifled barrel, which is incorrect, since most of the scatterguns are smoothbore.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Winchester 1887 shotgun. Error creating thumbnail: File missing The assassins retreat when Holmes opens fire. Error creating thumbnail: File missing The assassins with the Winchester 1887. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Here the markings on the barrel can be read, "12 GA, 22" 2 3/4" Rifles Gewehr 1888 1888 Commission Rifles(Gewehr 88)s are used by the Meinhard guards and several men. Madam Simza, Holmes, Watson, and Moran use them during the factory escape.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Gewehr 1888 - 7.92x57mm Mauser. Error creating thumbnail: File missing One of the twins (either Alexandre or Victor Carril) aims his Commission Rifle. Error creating thumbnail: File missing A factory guard aims his Gewehr 88 at the escaping team. Notice that the bolt is not fully closed. Since the rifle fired immediately afterwards anyway, it's probable that the film used CGI muzzle flashes. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Holmes deflects a bayonet thrust. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Holmes ejects a spent round before disarming the user. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Holmes then chambers a new round. The receiver is marked "SPANDAU 1890". Error creating thumbnail: File missing Watson aiming a captured Mannlicher Gewehr 1888. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Moran aims his rifle at the escaping party. Customized Martini-Henry Sniper Rifle Col. Moran (Paul Anderson ) uses a Customized Martini-Henry sniper rifle , which is fitting since he is an veteran of the Anglo-Afghan war. He's also described as the best shot in the army before his dismissal (which Watson erroneously refers to as a dishonorable discharge, which is reserved for enlisted men.)
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Martini-Henry "Sporter" .577-.450 caliber modified by the famous London gunsmith J. Rigby Error creating thumbnail: File missing The rifle in its case. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Moran begins to assemble the rifle. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Moran adds a suppressor to the rifle. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Moran takes aim. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Moran loads a round. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Moran fires the sniper rifle. Other Maxim 1895 Two of Moriarty's gunmen man use a .303 British caliber Maxim 1895 with brass water jacket, and spade grips in an attempt to kill Dr. and Mrs. Watson.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Maxim Model 1895 - 7.92x57mm Mauser Error creating thumbnail: File missing The assassins reveal the Maxim. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Moriarty's gunman opens up on Holmes and Watson. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Error creating thumbnail: File missing The Maxim's ammunition belt with Holmes' surprise. The use of spitzer rounds in 1891 is an anachronism. No. 2 Mk II Hale Grenade The assassins on the train are equipped with what appear to be modified No. 2 Mk II Hale Grenades. Holmes uses one to set a booby trap. This is another anachronism, as this weapon wasn't introduced until 1907.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Holmes' booby trap in place. Error creating thumbnail: File missing A bag of grenades. Meinhard Submachine Gun The train assassins and later Watson use what appear to be steampunk inspired custom submachine guns. They load from the top, and appear to be only capable of being fired from the hip. Their appearance was obviously, inspired by the Maxim 1895 lightweight.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Screen-used stunt (hard rubber with a metal armature within) Meinhard Submachine Gun from Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows . Image from Prop Store of London. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Maxim 1895 lightweight - .303 British, for comparison. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Watson fires the SMG during the factory escape. Error creating thumbnail: File missing There appears to be a forward handgrip on the left side of the gun. Gatling Gun Meinhard guards use Gatling Guns fed from Broadwell drums.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing An 1865 Gatling Gun. Error creating thumbnail: File missing The Meinhard guards unveil the Gatling gun. Error creating thumbnail: File missing One of the guards fits the Broadwell drum. Error creating thumbnail: File missing The Gatling Gun lays down fire on the escaping party. (Why the guards are using a Gatling gun when they have access to Maxim guns is unknown.) 7.58 cm Minenwerfer Meinhard guards attack the escaping party with 7.58 cm Minenwerfers. This is yet another anachronism, as this weapon wasn't introduced until 1909.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing A Meinhard guard loads the mortar. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Another shot of the Meinhard guards firing the mortars. This is an unusual tactic for the guards to employ, as shelling the woods will most likely injure their own people as well as Holmes's Trivia .223 Shell Casing Colonel Moran is shown assembling a poison dart cartridge using a modern Winchester .223 shell casing.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing "WINCHESTER .223 REM"
