Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows: Difference between revisions
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.

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.

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.
One of Moriarty's train hitmen tries to fire a Winchester Model 1887 shotgun on Holmes and Watson, but sets himself on fire due to Holmes' sabotage. When Moriarty's attacker squeezes the trigger, a scene shows rifled barrel, which is incorrect, since most of the scatterguns are smoothbore.
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.
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 reserved for enlisted men.)
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. This is another anachronism, as this weapon wasn't introduced until 1907.
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.
