The [[Luger P08]] appears to be the sidearm of choice in this film. All executions by pistol are done with Lugers. The Lugers used had to be flashpaper guns, and were likely retained in later scenes for continuity reasons. | The [[Luger P08]] appears to be the sidearm of choice in this film.

The following weapons were used in the film Schindler's List:
Handguns
Luger P08
The Luger P08 appears to be the sidearm of choice in this film. All executions by pistol are done with Lugers. The Lugers used had to be flashpaper guns, and were likely retained in later scenes for continuity reasons.
Walther P38
A Walther P38 is only seen in one scene, when Goeth has to dig up and then burn the bodies from the liquidation of the Krakow ghetto. One of his men feigns madness and fires into the mass of burning corpses.
CZ 27
During the scene where Goeth tries to execute Rabbi Lewartow for not making enough hinges, his Luger keeps misfiring. Goeth takes out a CZ 27, which will not fire either. He has to settle for pistol whipping the rabbi with the CZ 27.
Unknown revolver
In a quick editing mistake, the CZ27 is exchanged for a large revolver. Goeth drops it on the pavement when he walks away. This handgun is much too big to have come out of Goeth's pocket. It is possible that it is a Nagant M1895.
Submachine Guns
Haenel-Schmeisser MP28/II
Several of the SS-troops is seen carrying (but not using) the Haenel-Schmeisser MP28/II.
MP40
Some of the SS troops executing Jews in the apartment building are using MP40 submachine guns.
Rifles
Karabiner 98k
German troops can be seen with Karabiner 98ks during the cleaning of the ghetto and during the Jews' internment in the Płaszów concentration camp.
Mauser rifle with straight bolt handle
Some of the Germans are seen with Mauser rifles with straight bolt handles instead of K98K, which have bent bolt handles.
Steyr Mannlicher-Schoenauer Sporter
Amon Goeth (Ralph Fiennes) uses a Steyr Mannlicher-Schoenauer fitted with a scope to kill prisoners in the labor camp.
Machine Guns
MG34
An MG34 is seen mounted on a motorcycle sidecar.
