In a scene in an arms factory the pistol is introduced as being select fire and having a detachable box magazine making it the M712 Schnellfeuer. This furthers the anachronism as this variety was not introduced until 1927 for the Spanish made variety and 1923 for the Mauser produced design. It should be noted, however, that the C96 used in the film is not fed by a detachable magazine, and the actors simply slap the base of the magazine with a click sound dubbed in. | In a scene in an arms factory the pistol is introduced as being select fire and having a detachable box magazine making it the M712 Schnellfeuer.

Nice, but where's the trigger? This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it. |
The following firearms can be seen in the film Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows:
Webley Mk. V
Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) can be seen with a Webley Mk V in the trailer after disarming a man that previously wielded it. He is also seen wielding it in a promotional poster, note Downey's finger is off of the trigger, a sign of good gun handling.
Webley Bulldog
Dr. John Watson (Jude Law) draws his Webley Bulldog on Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) aboard the train. He used the same gun in the last film.
Winchester Model 1887
One of Moriarty's train hitmen tries to fire Winchester 1887 shotgun on Holmes and Watson, but kills himself due to Holmes' sabotage. Also, shotgun's barrel is rifled , due to filmmakers' mistake.
Mauser C96/ M712 Schnellfeuer
Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) loads a Mauser C96 in the trailer. He can also be seen holding it in several promotion photos. The use of this gun in the movie is rather anachronistic as its set in 1892 and the C96 was first produced in 1896. It is implied that the C96 design is a prototype developed by Moriarty's weapons designers for the impending war he desires to start.
In a scene in an arms factory the pistol is introduced as being select fire and having a detachable box magazine making it the M712 Schnellfeuer. This furthers the anachronism as this variety was not introduced until 1927 for the Spanish made variety and 1923 for the Mauser produced design. It should be noted, however, that the C96 used in the film is not fed by a detachable magazine, and the actors simply slap the base of the magazine with a click sound dubbed in.
Mannlicher Gewehr 1888
Mannlicher Gewehr 1888s are used by Austrian soldiers and several men. Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) later takes one from a man and gives it to Watson (Jude Law), who uses it during the forest scenes.
Maxim 1895
Two of Moriarty's gunmen man a Maxim 1895 with brass water jacket, and spade grips when Holmes and Watson are aboard a train.
Gatling Gun
Austrian soldiers can be seen using Gatling Guns fed from Broadwell drums.
Customized Martini-Henry Sniper Rifle
Sebastian Moran (Paul Anderson) uses a Customized Martini-Henry sniper rifle in the trailer.
