Illinois Gordon (Chi McBride) carries a nickel Smith & Wesson Model 10 snubnose revolver, which he gives to Bumpy before his death at the hands of Capt. Foley.
Albert Salke (Mike Starr) and Jules Salke (Beau Starr) use a "silenced" revolver to kill the guard at Bumpy's building during their attempted hit, following the classic movie myth of having a suppressor work on a revolver.
Dutch's gunmen use Thompson M1928s during their attempted hit on the Queen and Bumpy. After killing one of the hoods, Bumpy picks up the Thompson and fires back at them with it.
Bub Hewlett (Clarence Williams III) carries a sawed-off Remington 870 when Dutch's men raid the apartment at the end. Several other sawed-off 870 shotguns are used, some without their stocks.
