The main characteristics that distinguish the C96 are the integral box magazine in front of the trigger, the long barrel, the wooden shoulder stock which can double as a holster or carrying case, and a grip shaped like the end of a broom's handle (which earned it the nickname "Broomhandle" in the English-speaking world). The Mauser C96 can be considered one of the first personal defense weapons (PDWs), as its long barrel and powerful cartridge gave it superior range and better penetration capabilities than most other standard pistols. | The main characteristics that distinguish the C96 are the integral box magazine in front of the trigger, the long barrel, the wooden shoulder stock which can double as a holster or carrying case, and a grip shaped like the end of a broom's handle (which earned it the nickname "Broomhandle" in the English-speaking world).

The following guns were used in the movie Wanted
I call dibbs on screencapping this when it comes out. -GM
Mauser C96 - M712 "Schnellfeuer"
Sloan (Morgan Freeman) packs a select fire, detachable box magazine version of the M96 Mauser pistol.
The main characteristics that distinguish the C96 are the integral box magazine in front of the trigger, the long barrel, the wooden shoulder stock which can double as a holster or carrying case, and a grip shaped like the end of a broom's handle (which earned it the nickname "Broomhandle" in the English-speaking world). The Mauser C96 can be considered one of the first personal defense weapons (PDWs), as its long barrel and powerful cartridge gave it superior range and better penetration capabilities than most other standard pistols.
Olympic Arms 1911 Matchmaster
Fox (Angelina Jolie) packs a custom Safari Arms 1911 Matchmaster with an extended magazine, titanium Yanek compensator and custom engraving throughout the film.
Close-up of the Safari Arms' 'Lion' logo engraved on the left side of the gun and the 'Matchmaster' name engraved on its right side. The official website of the movie confirms: "Fox's weapon of choice is a custom .45 calibre SAFARI MATCHMASTER semi automatic pistol. Although she prefers its lightweight versatility, she is a virtuoso with any firearm which exists".
CornerShot
During the shootout at the pharmacy, Fox uses a (CornerShot) device together with her Matchmaster, allowing her to look and shoot around corners.
H&K USP Compact
Used by Wesley (James McAvoy) for his first two kills. He also briefly uses one during the final gunfight at the textile mill.
Star Ultrastar
When Wesley (James McAvoy) nearly falls from the derailed train, he is caught by Cross. Shortly thereafter, he pulls a Star Ultrastar from his waistband and kills Cross with a single shot to the heart. He finally loses the gun when, informed of his deception by both the dying Cross and Fox (Angelina Jolie), he fires a shot into a window he's kneeling on to escape Fox, falling into the river below as a result.
Check out the final Wanted trailer and fast forward to the 1:43 mark. A clear shot of the front of the Star is there, showing the slanted frame and the squared-off trigger guard that the EAA Witness just doesn't have.
Beretta 92SB (customized)
A compensated and heavily customized Beretta 92SB is used by both Mr. X (David O'Hara) and Wesley (James McAvoy). Mr. X uses it briefly to kill three of four assassins who had targeted him from a nearby skyscraper before he is killed by Cross. Wesley first gets ahold of the gun when he is brought to the Textile Factory by Fox, using it to shoot wings off of flies while being held at gunpoint by the Gunsmith (Common). He takes the gun and runs after the demonstration and hides it in his apartment toilet the following morning. Later in the movie, he retrieves the gun and uses it in a gunfight with Cross, inadverently killing the Exterminator (Konstantin Khabensky) and in the rolling gunfight on the train, where he finally loses the weapon when the train derails.File:Wanted 12 1280.jpg
Jericho 941 "Baby Eagle"
