Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011)

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is the 2011 sequel to 2009's Sherlock Holmes directed by Guy Ritchie and starring Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Noomi Rapace and Jared Harris.


The following weapons were used in the film Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows:


Handguns

Webley Mk V

In the alleyway brawl, an attacker (uncredited) pulls a Webley Mk V on Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.), but Holmes is able to take it away. Madam Simza Heron (Noomi Rapace) hands Holmes another one before he and Watson (Jude Law) infiltrate the Meinhard factory.

Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey, Jr.) carries a Sharps Model 1A Pepperbox pistol while dressed in drag on the train to Brighton, and Watson (Jude Law) uses it to disable one of Moriarty's henchmen manning the machine gun.

Mauser C96

Colonel Sebastian Moran (Paul Anderson) confronts Holmes with a Mauser C96 in the Meinhard factory. Holmes later uses one during the shootout in the factory. The use of this gun in the movie is rather anachronistic as it's set in 1891 and the C96 was first produced in 1896. The hammer and address panel are indicative of the 1930's model, but since Moran tosses Holmes a removable magazine for the C96, it must be a Schnellfeuer version of the C96, which wasn't commercially available until 1932. It is implied that the C96 design is a prototype developed by Moriarty's weapons designers for the impending war he desires to start.

Mle 1892 Revolver

Anarchist Claude Ravache (Thierry Neuvic) shoots himself with a Mle 1892 Revolver. Watson later picks it up to confront the other anarchists. Watson still has this revolver, or another copy when he and Holmes infiltrate the Meinhard factory.

Rifles

Mauser Gewehr 1888

1888 Commission Rifles(Gewehr 88)s are used by the Meinhard guards and several men. Madam Simza, Holmes, Watson, and Moran use them during the factory escape.

Customized Martini-Henry Sniper Rifle

Col. Moran (Paul Anderson) uses a Customized Martini-Henry sniper rifle , which is fitting since he is an veteran of the Anglo-Afghan war. He's also described as the best shot in the army before his dismissal (which Watson erroneously refers to as a dishonorable discharge, which is only reserved for enlisted men.)

No. 2 Mk II Hale Grenade

The assassins on the train are equipped with what appear to be modified No. 2 Mk II Hale Grenades. Holmes uses one to set a booby trap.

Custom Submachine Gun

The train assassins and later Watson use what appear to be steampunk inspired custom submachine guns. They load from the top, and appear to be only capable of being fired from the hip. They appear to be a fictional cross between the Bren light machine gun and the Sten submachine gun, both of which weren't developed until nearly World War II. The design borrows the Bren's top loading magazine combined with the Sten's submachine gun features.

7.58 cm Minenwerfer

Meinhard guards attack the escaping party with 7.58 cm Minenwerfers. This is yet another anachronism, as this weapon wasn't introduced until 1909.
