The following firearms were used in the film Point Blank:
Colt Detective Special
Walker's partner in crime Mal Reese (John Vernon) shoots Walker on Alcatraz Island with a Colt Detective Special. One of Mal's bodyguards also carries a Detective Special, which Walker disposes of.
Smith & Wesson Model 29
Walker (Lee Marvin) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 29 with a 4" barrel throughout the film. On the DVD commentary the director John Boorman said Marvin faked the recoil when firing the .44 Magnum blanks at Lynne's bed although, when later firing live ammunition at Alcatraz, there was no recoil, prompting Marvin to tell Boorman that "Fiction overtakes reality".
Walther PPK
One of Mal Reese's bodyguards carries a small pistol that appears to be a Walther PPK. Walker disposes of it.
Winchester Model 70
The assassin (James B. Sikking) hired by Carter uses a bolt-action sniper rifle resembling a Winchester Model 70 with a shortened barrel during the storm drain rendezvous.
Smith & Wesson Model 10 Snubnose
John Stegman (Michael Strong) drops a Smith & Wesson Model 10 Snubnose when he is shot at the storm drain.
