Revision as of 00:10, 5 April 2009
The following guns were used in the film Sudden Impact:
Smith & Wesson Model 29
"Dirty" Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) carries his Smith & Wesson Model 29 .44 Magnum as his sidearm in the film, until it is kicked into a curb drain by Mick (Paul Drake). He then uses his AMC Auto Mag Pistol in .44 AMP as a replacement.
AMC Auto Mag 280
After being attacked by the group of assassins in the mob, Insp. Callahan (Clint Eastwood) is inspired to take out his old pistol, an AMC Auto Mag 280 chambered in .44 AMP. When his Smith & Wesson Model 29 is kicked into a curb drain by Mick (Paul Drake), he replaces it with his Auto Mag for the remainder of the film. The production crew had a very difficult time aquiring this gun to the point where they had to contact the original designer, who had enough parts in his basement to build two guns for the film. The first was left live firing so Clint Eastwood could shoot it and accurately depict recoil while the second was converted to fire blanks for the film. The gun's serial numbers were "Clint1" and "Clint2".
Colt Detective Special
Jennifer Spencer (Sondra Locke) uses a nickeled Colt Detective Special as her murder weapon.
Mossberg 500 w/ folding stock
Horace King (Albert Popwell) uses a Mossberg 500 shotgun (12 gauge), with a folding stock.
Later, we see Mick (Paul Drake) using the same shotgun after stealing it from Horace.
I believe that the shotgun held is actually a Smith & Wesson Model 3000 12-gauge pump. S&W was in the Police market with revolvers and shotguns in the 70s and early 80s. Mossberg later purchased the 3000 series from Smith & Wesson as they got out of the shotgun market. The front barrel retaining nut is visably larger than that found on the Model 500 series.
Update : I added some information on the Smith & Wesson Model 3000 under the Discussion button above. . . BC2009.
Browning Hi-Power
Used by several of the mob assassins that chase Callahan.
Later, we see a Hi-Power (the same one?) in Mick's home.
Uzi
Used by several mob assassins chasing Callahan.
Colt Model 1903
One of the robbers, at the first shootout of the movie, uses a pistol without external hammer, that looks like a Colt Model 1903.
Later, we see that one of Jennifer Spencer's victims also has this pistol.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Used by Pat Hingle, in his role of Police Chief Jannings.
M1911 pistol series
A 1911-type pistol is used by the bank robber that Callahan chases when he arrives in San Paulo.
Remington 7600 rifle
This pump action rifle is seen in the hands of Mrs. Wilburn, who points it at Harry Callahan and instructs him to leave her fish market.
