The following guns were used in the film Running Scared:

Running Scared (2006). Note how Paul Walker wields a Smith & Wesson Model 13 on the cover, which is never seen in the film. On an alternate movie poster, we see Walker holding a Marksman 1020 BB gun.

Running Scared is a 2006 crime thriller following a low life mobster named Joey Gazelle (Paul Walker). When a drug deal between mobsters and dirty cops goes bad, Joey is asked to dispose of their guns. Instead of throwing them in the river as he should, Joey hides the guns in his basement, which proves to be a mistake when Joey's son Nicky (Alex Neuberger) and his neighbor friend Oleg Yugorsky (Cameron Bright) witness him hiding them. Oleg steals the .38 snubnose used by Tommy "Tombs" Perello (Johnny Messner) and attempts to kill his abusive Russian stepfather, Anzor Yugorsky (Karel Roden), which he fails to do. To make matters worse, Anzor's uncle is mob boss Ivan Yugorsky (John Noble), who is displeased by this murder attempt. Now Joey must get the gun back, save Oleg, and hope he survives the night. Since the film was shot in Prague, all of the automatic handguns typically seen in American movies in this film are 8mm blank firing props, as most of these guns common to the US are unavailable in the Czech Republic.

Credit goes to Predator20 for the screencaps.



NOTE: My memory of this movie is fuzzy, so please comment if I mess up any story aspects in the captions. - Gunmaster45

M1911A1

Joey Gazelle's (Paul Walker) sidearm throughout the film is an M1911A1 pistol. In reality, it is a Bruni 8mm blank firing stage prop, as indicated by its muzzle diameter, gas port behind ejection port, short fully-cocked hammer, and external extractor.

Smith & Wesson Model 36

The story revolves around the ".38 Snubnose" used by Tommy "Tombs" Perello (Johnny Messner) during the bad drug deal at the start of the film, a nickel plated Smith & Wesson Model 36 with ivory grips, which he uses to kill several dirty cops, requiring the weapon to be disposed of. He gives the snubnose to Joey to get rid of, but he instead hides it in his basement, where it is stolen by Oleg Yugorsky (Cameron Bright) and used to shoot his step-father Anzor Yugorsky (Karel Roden). The gun is later given to a prostitute "Divina" (Idalis DeLeon), who helps Oleg out. Eventually Joey's son Nicky (Alex Neuberger) hides it in the tank of a diner toilet, where it is found by Manny Perez (David Monteiro). Mannny loses it in a card game to Julio (Thomas Rosales Jr), who is working on Lester the Pimp's (David Warshofsky) Cadillac. Lester the Pimp spots it and buys it from Julio for $500 because of the significance of the gun, and turns the tables on Oleg and Joey at the end of the film by holding it on them.

Lester the Pimp cocks the hammer on his Smith & Wesson Model 36. Here we see both the hammer is missing the firing pin and the the gun is empty, so basically he is no threat at all.

Glock 17

A Glock 17 is used by a druggy who kidnaps Oleg (Cameron Bright) and Nicky (Alex Neuberger) before he is killed by Joey (Paul Walker). A Glock is also used by Anzor Yugorsky (Karel Roden) during the final shootout in the hockey rink before he is killed. It is then taken and used by Ivan Yugorsky (John Noble) and then taken and used by Joey briefly. In reality, the gun is an 8mm Bruni "GAP" pistol.

Browning GPDA-9

A Browning GPDA-9 is wielded by Sal "Gummy Bear" Franzone (Michael Cudlitz) during the opening shootout, and is also taken by Joey (Paul Walker) to dispose of. Instead he stores it in his basement and it is taken by Teresa Gazelle (Vera Farmiga), who uses it to kill the creepy couple (who seem like they came out of Germanic folklore) who kidnap Oleg (Cameron Bright). In reality it is more than likely an 8mm blank firing prop based on the Browning BDA, but its finish most closely relates it to the real world GPDA-9.

Browning GPDA-9 - 9mm.

Beretta 92FS

Tommy "Tombs" Perello (Johnny Messner) wields a Beretta 92FS during the final shootout, which is later picked up and used by Oleg (Cameron Bright). In reality the pistol is a Bruni Model 92 blank firing 8mm stage prop.

Franchi Model SPA

The dirty cops during the bad drug exchange use a couple of Franchi Model SPA shotguns with 14" barrels and pistol grips.

In Hollywood the rules of physics (you know, "density vs. mass" and all that blasphemy) matter little as we see this guy get thrown across the room after being hit by a shotgun round. Also note how the shell is already clearing the weapon, even though it is a pump-action and the manual operation is obviously slower than the flying bullets.

CZ-100

FBI Detective Rydell (Chazz Palminteri) is seen using a CZ-100 pistol as his sidearm. Being that this movie is filmed in Prague and the CZ-100 is produced in the Czech Republic, it is likely this is an actual blank converted firearm that the armorers own and not an 8mm prop.

Unknown AR-15 Variant

FBI Agents are seen armed with unknown AR-15 variants with carbine barrels and forends, A1-style upper recievers, and full stocks. They are likely airsoft props, similar to the ones seen in Daredevil.
