The following guns were used in the movie No Country for Old Men
Winchester 1897 Sawn-off
Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) uses a 12 gauge Winchester Model 1897 sawn off pump for a large part of the film, and uses it to wound Anton. Since Winchester no longer makes this model, and those still in circulation are considered collector's items, the actual firearm used in the film was a relatively inexpensive, new-manufacture Norinco (Chinese) model 1897 clone, who many claim to be, in almost every sense, identical in nomenclature to a Winchester.
Colt M1911A1
Llewelyn takes a nickel plated M1911A1 off a dead drug dealer.
Heckler & Koch SP89
A Heckler & Koch SP89 is picked up by Llewelyn Moss at the scene of a drug exchange gone wrong. (this is an anachronism as the SP-89 didn't start maufacture until 1989)
Colt Delta Elite
Tommy Lee Jones as Sherrif Ed Tom Bell has a Colt Delta Elite 10mm Auto throughout the film.
I thought the Delta Elite wasn't manufactured until 1987. Could this be another anachronism?
- I'm a little more curious to know what makes us think this is a Delta Elite to begin with. It looked to me like it might have just been a regular Commander-type 1911. But if it is a Delta Elite, then yes, it is yet another of the movie's many firearms-related anachronisms.
- I thought it was a 1911 myself.
- I agree, does not look like a Delta Elite to me. Don't know why it is considered to be one.
Intratec TEC-9
Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) uses a silenced Intratec TEC-DC9 machine pistol when he is chasing Lleweyn Moss at the border town.
(This is anachronistic because the TEC-9 was not manufactured until 1985 and the film takes place in 1980)
Norinco Type 56
Several Norinco Type 56 copies of the AK-47 assault rifle (both the fixed stock Type 56 and folding stock Type 56-1) can be seen on the ground next to dead drug dealers at the site of the failed exchange.
MAC-10
Two MAC-10s can be seen next to two dead drug dealers.
S&W Model 10
Garret Dillahunt as the Sherrif's Deputy carries a heavy-barrelled Smith & Wesson Model 10.
Remington 11-87
Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) uses a sound-suppressed Remington 11-87 Semi-Auto shotgun with a sawed off barrel in four shooting scenes in the movie. (As with the TEC-9, this is also anachronistic because the Remington 11-87 was not designed until 1987 and the film takes place in 1980.)
(At the same time, though there are suppressors designed for shotguns, the one fitted on Chigurh's 11-87 is much too small, and short to have a distinctive effect on the sound of the shotgun's blast. Real suppressors designed for shotguns are much longer, and even they don't manage to silence a shotgun's blast to the extent that the one in the film did.)
Unidentified hunting rifle
Llewelyn Moss hunting a Proghorn. The book says the gun Llewelyn uses to shoot the Pronghorn is a "heavybarreled .270 on a '98 Mauser action with a laminated stock of maple and walnut." He uses a Unertl 12 power scope, (same power as the binoculars.)
