==FÉG PJK-9HP== | |||
Frank Lucas ([[Denzel Washington]]) carries a [[Browning Hi-Power#FEG PJK-9HP|Fegyver és Gépgyár PJK-9HP]]. This weapon is chrome plated with wood grips, and has been converted for blank fire. During production the gun was set up as a "solid plug" version, meaning the barrel was completely blocked off so the gun could safely be fired close to a person's skin. This was necessary for the scene in the film where Lucas shoots a rival gangster in the forehead, and then places the gun on his chest. | Frank Lucas ([[Denzel Washington]]) carries a [[Browning Hi-Power#FEG PJK-9HP|Fegyver és Gépgyár PJK-9HP]].

Revision as of 05:03, 11 January 2014
The following weapons were used in the film American Gangster:
Error creating thumbnail: File missing WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Handguns
FÉG PJK-9HP
Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington) carries a Fegyver és Gépgyár PJK-9HP. This weapon is chrome plated with wood grips, and has been converted for blank fire. During production the gun was set up as a "solid plug" version, meaning the barrel was completely blocked off so the gun could safely be fired close to a person's skin. This was necessary for the scene in the film where Lucas shoots a rival gangster in the forehead, and then places the gun on his chest.
There was only one FÉG pistol rented for the production, so the same gun can be seen on screen in every shot. It can be matched by the wood grain of the grips and small scratches on the frame.
M1911A1
Frank Lucas's bodyguard, Doc (Ruben Santiago-Hudson) carries a M1911A1 later in the movie.
Smith & Wesson Model 19 Snub Nose
NYPD Detective Trupo (Josh Brolin) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 19 Snub Nose throughout the movie. This is a technical inaccuracy as the NYPD did not authorize the .357 magnum revolver (and never has) for use by its officers during the time period covered in the movie. Officers were restricted to .38 special Colt or Smith & Wesson revolvers in the sixties and seventies. But Trupo is a corrupt cop who ignores the rules and has "juice", so it could be argued he received a special exemption as long as he loaded it with .38 Special only.
Smith & Wesson Model 629
Frank Lucas's brother, Huey Lucas (Chiwetel Ejiofor) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 629 during the raid at the drug factory.
Röhm RG-24
Frank's Cousin uses a Röhm RG-24 revolver to shoot and injure Darlynn (Quisha Saunders).
Colt Official Police
The Colt Official Police revolver is used by various police officers throughout the movie. Both the 2" snub nosed version and the 4" standard configuration are carried.
Smith & Wesson Model 64
Det. Ritchie Roberts (Russell Crowe) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 64 with a 3" barrel as his sidearm.
Beretta 950 Jetfire
A nickel-plated Beretta 950 Jetfire is used by one of Lucas's party guests to wound another with a leg shot.
Colt Python
Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington) drops one of his guns which most closely resembles a Colt Python with electrical tape on it in several places.
Submachine Guns

Uzi
One of the guards at Frank's heroin plant carries an IMI Uzi.

A Sterling submachine gun is used by one of the guards at Frank's heroin plant.
Shotguns
Ithaca 37
Detective Roberts (Russell Crowe) and various other police officers use Ithaca 37 shotguns during the raid on Frank's heroin distribution center. Another Ithaca 37 is seen in the hands of one of the thugs at the distribution center.
Sawed-off Double Barrel Shotgun
Frank's doorman at the heroin plant uses a Sawed-off double-barreled shotgun. He has it loaded with birdshot, and foolishly tries to shoot it through a steel door, which injures on him and the girls in the room when the shot ricochets.
Double Barreled Shotgun
A standard Double barrel shotgun is held by one of Lucas's guards at heroin processing center.
Over and Under Trap Shotguns
Lucas and Dominic Cattano (Armand Assante) are seen trap-shooting with Over/under shotguns during their meeting.
Rifles
CAR-15

AKM
One of the guards in the Nationalists' heroin fields is seen with an AKM assault rifle.
Machine Gun
M60 Machine Gun
