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 M712 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 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 M712 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. It was popular on both sides of WW1/WW2 and is possbly still in use today.
Safari 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. It's obviously based on the real Cornershot, but there isn't a type like the one used in the movie.
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 92S custom
The 92 that Wesley picked up to shoot the wings off the flies wasn't an SB because an SB had the ambidextrous safety, so it is even older 92S. This one in the movie had a compensator attached to it. The grip is customized too.
Jericho 941 "Baby Eagle"
A Jericho 941 "Baby Eagle" is used by Cross (Thomas Kretschmann) Throughout the film. Pekwarsky (Terence Stamp) has a two-tone (stainless frame, blued slide) Jericho when confronted by Wesley at an European castle
Browning High power
This was used by Wesley during the final gunfight in the textile mill.
Unknown Sniper rifle
Made up "fantasy sniper rifle" Cross uses this sniper rifle to kill Mr. X and is finally used by Wesley to kill Sloan.
Heckler & Koch UMP
It is used by The Fraternity guard in the textile mill in the final gunfight but Wesley takes it away from him.
At the front gate, 2 were seen and they were 9mm as you can see the curved magazines.
Heckler and Koch P9
Used by fraternity guards in the textile mill also at the final gunfight.
Colt Python
Used by an assasin in the fraternity and was killed by Fox.
Kimber pistol
Unknown. It is used by Wesley in the textile mill but suddenly changes into a Heckler and koch USP compact!
Heckler and Koch Mark 23
Used by a fraternity guard at the part where Wesley explains everyone what Sloan has been doing.
H&K MP7
Used by cross.
Not sure
I can assume it's an M4, but the rail system in front makes me think it's the barrett REC7.
- No way. The REC7 was just introduced this year. The movie came out this year, but it would have been filmed last year. Unless the film's armorers time-traveled to this year, there's no way a REC7 can be in this movie.
- Ok, then maybe a 416? From this shot, it appears to be a flat top similiar to a 416
Glock 19
The NYPD uses a Glock 19 so I am pretty sure it is one, it looks kinda compact too.
Double Barrel Shotgun
G3
Wheel-lock Dueling Set
Wesley was seen holding this and so did Mr. X at the beginning of the movie. These are ancient wheel-lock pistols. Probably German made. Wesley attempts to kill Sloan with one of these but is shot by fox, and the gun fell off his hand.
HK UMP
These look like UMP's.
unknown revolver
Wesley picks up this revolver and kills the Repairman with it, then stabs it through his head and uses him as a shield while still firing the revolver through his skull.
