The one beside the Beretta is a Browning Hi-power I think.-[[User:GunnutHk|GunnnutHk]]

A Better Tomorrow is a 1986 Hong Kong action film directed by John Woo and starring Chow Yun-Fat as a friend to a pair of brothers who decide to take on the Triad crime organization. The film would spawn the 1987 sequel A Better Tomorrow II and the 1989 prequel A Better Tomorrow III.
The following firearms were used in the film A Better Tomorrow:
The Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolver is carried by Kit (Leslie Cheung) as his police service weapon. A suppressed version is also used by an assassin who attempts to kill Ho and Kit's father.
One of the Taiwanese gangsters who attempts to fire at Mark (Chow Yun-Fat) during the shootout at the restaurant uses a Smith & Wesson Model 28 revolver.
John Woo's favorite handgun, the Beretta 92F makes frequent appearances in this film. All three main characters use the pistol at different times in the movie, as do many of the Triads.
The Beretta 92SB is seen in the hands of Shing (Waise Lee) and a few Triads throughout the film, and is identifiable by its rounded trigger guard, and modern Beretta grips (versus the older style grips of the Original 92).
Ho (Ti Lung) carries a Smith & Wesson 39 pistol during the scenes set in Taiwan, and the gangster that betrays him also uses one during the restaurant shootout. Other Triad members use the pistols during the shootout in the garage and at the docks.
The leader of the Taiwanese gangsters fires an Ithaca 37 when he betrays Shing and Ho. Mark also uses an Ithaca when he returns to rescue Ho and Kit in the finale.
M16A1 rifles are used by police officers when Ho is captured in Taiwan. Some triad gangsters are also armed with M16A1 rifles during the final shootout at the docks, although they are not seen very clearly.
