The following firearms can be seen in Brannigan (1975):
Colt Diamondback
Carried and used by Brannigan (John Wayne) throughout the movie. It is a source of tension between Brannigan and Commander Sawnn (Richard Attenborough)since it is against Scotland Yard procedure and English law for Brannigan to carry the Diamondback. Naturally Brannigan continues to carry it and uses it as well.
Colt Detective Special
Carried by Commander Swann (Richard Attenborough) of Scotland Yard. There is only a brief glimpse of the revolver, but it appears to have the lines of a second generation Colt Detective Special.
M1911
Carried and used by Mr. Fields (Mel Ferrer). Lawyer to the gangster Larkin (John Vernon) who is the criminal that Brannigan (John Wayne) is in London for. It is clearly a Model 1911. In the screencap there is no arched mainspring housing. In 1974 (the year of the movie's production) Colt was still manufacturing the 1911A1 with the arched mainspring housing. Also considering that the movie was filmed in England there is a strong possibility that the 1911 is one of the models chambered for .455 auto.
Luger P08
At the beginning of the movie Brannigan (John Wayne) uses a Luger P08 in a plastic bag to coherce information out of a counterfeiter. He tells the bad guy that the Luger has no serial number and will not have any prints thanks to the plastic. After the low-life talks he grabs the Luger whne Brannigan seemingly has a mental breakdown and puts it down on a table within arm reach of the counterfeiter. It turns out that the Luger was empty all along.
Walther P38K
Carried and used by one of Larkin's (John Vernon) kidnappers Charlie (James Booth). An examination of the barrel shows that it is threaded for a supressor.
Mauser M712
Double Barreled "Coach" Gun
Set up by the contract killer Gorman (Daniel Pilon) in Brannigan's apartment. It is wired so when Brannigan (John Wayne) opens the door the shotgun will be activated via a strong and pulley system.Brannigan is suspicious however and mule kicks the door open while standing off to the side.
