Revision as of 20:43, 8 April 2012
The following firearms were used in the 1973 Blaxploitation film Shaft in Africa:
Luger P08
While in Africa, one of Amafi's (Frank Finlay) assassins, Marcel Sassari (Spiros Focás) fires at John Shaft (Richard Roundtree) with a Luger P08, fitted with a small suppressor. After Sassari is killed, Shaft takes the pistol and uses it for the rest of the movie.
There seems to be quite a large sound effects problem throughout the movie. The Luger is never seen without the suppressor, but when Sassari fires at Shaft, the gun's sound effects are of an unsuppressed weapon. Later, when killing another assassin on the boat in the Red Sea, the gunshots are silenced. Then, for the rest of the film, the gunshots are back to unsuppressed.
Star Z45
One of Amafi's men in the Paris apartment fires at Shaft with a Star Z45 submachine gun. After killing him, Shaft takes it and uses it when facing off with Amafi.
M1911A1
The M1911A1 is used by many of Amafi's assassins and thugs throughout the film.
Arminius HW-4 Snubnose
Shaft uses a Arminius HW-4 Snubnose in the beginning to fire at Oziot (Frank McRae), with a bulletproof vest stopping the bullets. Another assassin trying to kill Shaft in Africa uses one as well.
Norinco Type 54
Amafi (Frank Finlay) uses a Chinese copy Norinco Type 54 when facing off with Shaft in the end.
Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk. III
Some of the slave ring guards are seen with Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE) Rifles. Shaft also has one of the DVD cover.
Crossman 2240 CO2 Air Pistol
One of Col. Gonder's men is briefly seen with a Crossman 2240 CO2 Pistol, holding it on Shaft.
