Pistols
Beretta 950 Jetfire
A Beretta 950 Jetfire is used.
Browning Hi-Power
A Browning Hi-Power pistol is used by Frank (Michael Smiley).
Colt M1911A1
An M1911A1 is the sidearm of several characters in the film, including Ord (Armie Hammer), Stevo (Sam Riley),Justine (Brie Larson) and Vernon (Sharlto Copley).
Revolvers
Taurus Model 85 (Nickel)
Justine (Brie Larson) appears to be armed with a nickel Taurus Model 85 revolver. Since the film takes place in Boston in 1978, this may be an anachronism since the Model 85 wasn't offered in the U.S. Market until 1984, however Taurus did start making a overseas version of this revolver in 1977 when they broke off from Smith & Wesson, so it's possible this is an overseas market pistol (despite not being available to U.S. shooters until the 80s).
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Harry (Jack Reynor) takes a Smith & Wesson Model 36 out of the van and uses it to shoot Stevo (Sam Riley), starting off the fire fight. He uses it throughout the rest of the film.
Smith & Wesson Model 629
A Smith & Wesson Model 629 is used by Martin (Babou Ceesay). Though it should be a nickel Model 29 (which had been in circulation for years before the year 1978) the Stainless 629 was introduced in 1978 which barely makes it not anachronistic for the film.
Rifles/Carbines
Beretta SC-70/223
Several Beretta SC-70/223s, are seen in an arms deal, distinguished from the standard AR-70/.233 model by their folding stocks. This rifle is used by Ord (Armie Hammer) and Chris (Cillian Murphy).
M1 Garand
The M1 Garand is used by Howie (Patrick Bergin) and Martin (Babou Ceesay) .
M1 Carbine
Several characters are seen armed with the M1 Carbine. It is a post war variant with a perforated metal heat shield and post war rear sight and bayonet lug.
