Ralph Galione (Michael A. Miranda) shoots Westies gangster James McBratney (uncredited) with a Taurus PT92AF. An assassin later uses one to shoot Tommy Bilotti (Ron Gabriel).
Joe D'miglia (Tony Sirico) uses a suppressed Beretta 92FS to kill Ralph Galione for botching the McBratney hit. John Gotti (Armand Assante) later is seen with a Beretta tucked into his belt. As these scenes occurred in the early seventies, the presence of the Beretta 92FS is an anachronism.
Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano (William Forsythe) uses a Star Model B to kill his brother-in-law Nick Scibetta (Frank Crudele). It jams twice before Sammy is able to fire a round.
Two weapons are impossible to ID due to lack of details.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingSammy kills John Favara (Tony De Santis) with an unknown snub-nosed pistol. This is a bit of dramatic license, as the body of John Favara, who accidentally ran over Gotti's son, has never been recovered, despite the best efforts of law enforcement. Furthermore, it's unlikely that Sammy Gravano killed him, as Sammy never admitted to it, despite having no incentive not to after turning on Gotti. Favara's killing is also believed to have been far more gruesome than portrayed.Error creating thumbnail: File missingJoe Paruto (Dante Rota) shoots Robert "DiB" DiBernardo (Frank Vincent) in the back of the head with either a Beretta 92FS or a Taurus PT92AF. In reality, DiB was in the basement, and Paruto used a .38 caliber revolver.
