Bank robbers John Dillinger (Warren Oates), Homer Van Meter (Harry Dean Stanton), and Charley Makley (John Ryan) carry Colt New Service revolvers. Van Meter notably uses his to shoot up an old man's gumball machine at a gas station.
M1911A1
Bank robbers John Dillinger (Warren Oates), Homer Van Meter (Harry Dean Stanton), "Pretty Boy" Floyd (Steve Kanaly), and Eddie the getaway driver (John Martino) use M1911A1 pistols. In several scenes, DIllinger and Floyd dual-wield them. FBI agent Melvin Purvis (Ben Johnson) also carries a nickel-plated 1911 (akimbo when facing off with Wilbur Underhill). Other vigilantes and policemen can occasionally be seen with 1911s as well. (In some scenes, an M1911 is replaced by a Star Model B.)
Several of the East Chicago policemen fire revolvers at the Dillinger gang. Harry Pierpont (Geoffrey Lewis) fires a Smith & Wesson revolver at the police around Little Bohemia. Van Meter is subdued by a man with a revolver.
Thompson M1928
Several members of Dillinger's gang, most notably Lester "Baby Face" Nelson (Richard Dreyfuss), Harry Pierpont (Geoffrey Lewis), John Dillinger (Warren Oates), Charley Makley (John Ryan), and Reed Youngblood (Frank McRae) fire the Thompson M1928 with either drum or box magazines. Dillinger's girlfriend Billie Frechette (Michelle Phillips) fires a Thompson to cover his escape from Little Bohemia (although it inexplicably alternates with a Browning Automatic Rifle in the same scene). Many FBI agents and policemen too, such as Melvin Purvis (Ben Johnson) and Samuel Cowley (Roy Jensen) carry Thompsons. Several Thompson seen have their stocks removed.

Billie Frechette (Michelle Phillips) covers Dillinger's escape with a B.A.R. (inexplicably alternating with a Thompson during the same scene).

Springfield M1903 rifles are seen in the hands of U.S. Army soldiers guarding Dillinger at Crown Point prison and vigilantes in Mason City.
Harry Pierpont (Geoffrey Lewis) uses a Winchester Model 1897 during the Mason City shootout after his B.A.R. jams. Several police and vigilantes also have 1897s.
