Revision as of 21:11, 19 September 2009
The following weapons were used in The Godfather:
Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum
Luca Brasi (Lenny Montana) checks a Smith & Wesson Model 27 Snub Nose before going to his meeting with Sollozzo and the Tattaglias. The frame appears to be that of the larger S&W N Frame. Also since this point in the story takes place in December 1945 it would more than likely be a pre-war S&W Registered Magnum. Or possibly a S&W .357 Magnum since a few were made between the ending of the Registered Magnum model and the start of WWII. During WWII, S&W only produced the M&P/Victory model. S&W did not number its models until the middle of the 1950s.
Beretta M1934
One of the hitmen who shoots at Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) carries a Beretta M1934.
Colt Detective Special
This .38 snubnose Colt Detective Special makes several appearances throughout the movie, as the revolver truly was popular amongst Mafioso of the time due to it's compact size, reliability and accuracy despite only having a 2" barrel. One of the hitmen who shoots at Don Vito Corleone carries a Detective Special.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Fredo Corleone (John Cazale) draws and immediately drops a nickel Smith & Wesson Model 36 after his father Vito is shot on the street.Peter Clemenza (Richard S. Castellano) gives Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) a Model 36 to kill Virgil "the Turk" Sollozzo (Al Lettieri) and Capt. McClusky (Sterling Hayden). Sonny Corleone (James Caan) is briefly shown checking one and sticking it into his waistband when he sees Clemenza at the door.
Double Barreled Shotgun (unknown)
Michael's Sicilian bodyguards, Fabrizio and Calo, carry Lupara 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotguns with exposed hammers. Clemenza uses a hammerless model when assassinating Stracci in an elevator.
I'll bet that the shotguns the bodyguards used are of Italian manufacture
Thompson M1928
Barzini's hitmen use Thompson M1928s with drum magazines when gunning down Sonny Corleone (James Caan) at the toll booth.
Bolt-Action Rifles (unknown)
Don Corleone's bodyguards at the house all carry rifles while patrolling the grounds.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
Al Neri (Richard Bright) carries and uses a Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolver when dressed as a policeman for the hit on Don Emilio Barzini (Richard Conte).
Madsen M50
Rocco Lampone (Tom Rosqui) and another Corleone hitman use Danish 9 mm Madsen M50 submachine guns to murder Don Philip Tattaglia (Victor Rendina) and a woman he was sleeping with.
M1911A1
Willi Cicci (Joe Spinell) uses a M1911A1 to murder Don Otilleo Cuneo (Rudy Bond) in a revolving door.
