The following weapons were used in the film American Gangster:
M1911A1
Frank Lucas's bodyguard, Doc (Ruben Santiago-Hudson) carries a M1911A1 later in the movie.
Fegyvergyár PJK-9HP
Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington) carries a Fegyvergyar PJK-9HP. This weapon is chrome plated with wood grips, and has been converted for blank fire. During production the gun was set up as a "solid plug" version, meaning the barrel was completely blocked off so the gun could safely be fired close to a person's skin. This was necessary for the scene in the film where Lucas shoots a rival gangster in the forehead, and then places the gun on his chest.
This was the only FÉG pistol rented to the production, so the same gun seen on screen in every shot. It can be screen matched by the woodgrain of the grips and small scratches on the frame.
Smith & Wesson Model 19 Snub Nose
NYPD Detective Trupo (Josh Brolin) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 19 "Snubbie" throughout the movie. This is a technical inaccuracy as the NYPD did not authorize the .357 magnum revolver (and never has) for use by its officers during the time period covered in the movie. Officers were restricted to .38 special Colt or Smith & Wesson revolvers in the sixties and seventies. But Trupo is a corrupt cop who ignores the rules and has "juice", so it could be argued he received a special exemption as long as he loaded it with .38 Special only.
Smith & Wesson Model 629
Frank Lucas's brother, Huey Lucas (Chiwetel Ejiofor) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 629 during the raid at the drug factory.
Röhm RG-24
This small .22lr is basically the lorcin/jennings/davis of Germany. The Röhm RG-24 is a low quality pot metal gun generally selling for less than $30. Frank's Cousin uses it to shoot and injure Darlynn (Quisha Saunders).
Smith and Wesson Model 10
Carried by a police officers during drug raid and throughout the movie.Both the 2" snub nosed version and the 4" standard configuration are carried.
Smith & Wesson Model 64
Det. Ritchie Roberts (Russell Crowe) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 64 with a 3" barrel as his sidearm.
Beretta 3032 Tomcat
The Beretta Tomcat is chambered in .32 ACP, and was first manufactured in 1979 as a carry or holdout pistol. It was used by one of Lucas's party guests to wound another with a leg shot. It is not the 950 Jetfire because of the rounded trigger guard and higher profile front sight.
This is a production flaw in that the events depicted are meant to have taken place in the mid 70's whereas the Tomcat was not invented by Beretta until 1979.
Ingram MAC-10
Carried by one of the drive by shooters during a assassination attempt on Frank and his wife
Colt Python
Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington) drops one of his guns which most closely resembles a Colt Python with electrical tape on it in several places
Single Barrel Trap Gun
Various Break Action Shotguns
Seen on Frank's Table.
CAR-15
Carried by Frank when dealing with the Nationalist heroin producers in Vietnam.
M-16A1
M-16A1 with M203 Grenade Launcher
AKM
Ithaca 37
This is the weapon carried by Detective Roberts (Russell Crowe) and various other police officers during the raid on Franks heroin distribution center and by a thug at the center.
Sawed off Double Barrel Shotgun
Used by Frank's doorman at the heroin plant. He has it loaded with birdshot, and foolishly tries to shoot it through a steel door, which results in serious injuries on him and the girls in the room when the shot ricochets.
Double Barreled Shotgun
A standard double barrel is held by one of Lucas's Guards at Heroin Processing Center.
Uzi
Used by one of the guards at Frank's heroin plant
