Weapons are listed on this page in the order that they appeared in the movie.
The following weapons were used in the film A Scanner Darkly:
Unknown Glock Pistol
James Barris' Revolver
In the book, Barris instead used a ".22 pistol," beyond which no other details were mentioned, not even if it was a revolver or otherwise.
On a side note, Robert Downey Jr. is infamous for his bouts with drug addiction and bipolar disorder (he had his first post-rehab role in 2001, only 5 years before this movie's release), and playing the at-times manic and paranoid James Barris was undoubtedly a deeply personal experience for him, just as writing the A Scanner Darkly novel was for its late author.
Bob Arctor's Service Pistol
Bob Arctor, being an undercover cop, reflexively draws this handgun from under his bed after hearing James Barris test out a "silencer" for the latter's revolver. It is never fired and does not appear after this scene in the film.
In the book, Bob Arctor carried a ".32 police-special revolver," the make and model of which are never elaborated upon. Arctor in the book keeps the gun under his pillow instead of under the bed as in the film, and also keeps it in his car's glove compartment while driving.
