A closer look at the grip makes it look closer to a Rossi model .357 revolver than a Smith and Wesson.

Unidentified Revolver

Seen only in the scene after the failed drive-by shooting. The gun is seen hanging from the door of the crashed car, and is picked up by William 'D-Fens' Foster. The weapon is not given much screen time, which leads to the conclusion that it could be a .38 revolver of some sort.

M72 LAW

An M72 LAW is used by William 'D-Fens' Foster to destroy a large crane. It was obtained from the store of the Neo-Nazi surplus seller. The weapon is inaccurately portrayed as a heat-seeking guided missile, as opposed to an unguided rocket (its real-life role).
