This gun is the unofficial star of The Usual Suspects. Nearly every handgun depicted in the film is either a Mk. III or original [[Browning Hi-Power]]. All of the main cast use one at some point in the film, though McManus ([[Stephen Baldwin]]) definitely has the most memorable scenes with it.  McManus has a sound suppressor afixxed to his when the group confronts Kobayashi about the job they reiceved. He amazingly kills to men in a half a second when he is in the elavator shaft.

The Usual Suspects (1995)

Steyr HBAR-T

McManus (Stephen Baldwin) uses a Steyr HBAR-T(the "T" in the name is indicative of the fact the standard 1.5x scope has been removed and a scope mount, allowing the use of higher powered optics, has been put in its' place), which is the designated marksman version of the standard AUG, to assist Keaton (Gabriel Byrne) in killing several Hungarian sailors standing on the docks near a doomed vessel.

This is the same weapon Baldwin has in hand when he utters "Oswald was a fag" while marking off targets on the boat.

Unidentified Shotgun

Hockney (Kevin Pollack) uses this shotgun to threaten uniformed NYPD officers early in the film, and the gun is not seen again. It appears to be a break-action 12ga, sawed off at the stock and barrel with exposed hammers.

Colt Detective Special

McManus (Stephen Baldwin) being arrested by NYPD detectives wielding Colt Detective Specials during the film's intro.

Browning Hi-Power Mk. III

This gun is the unofficial star of The Usual Suspects. Nearly every handgun depicted in the film is either a Mk. III or original Browning Hi-Power. All of the main cast use one at some point in the film, though McManus (Stephen Baldwin) definitely has the most memorable scenes with it. McManus has a sound suppressor afixxed to his when the group confronts Kobayashi about the job they reiceved. He amazingly kills two men in a half a second when he is in the elavator shaft.

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

The MP5 appears throughout the climactic final battle of the film, in the hands of McManus (Stephen Baldwin), Hockney (Kevin Pollack), and Verbal (Kevin Spacey). Hockney bluffs his way past a guard using one, and extends his stock to fire. McManus primarily fires his from the hip, whereas Verbal never uses his at all.

Unidentified Pistol

This is a pistol or possibly a pair of pistols used during the climactic Hungarian Ship sequence near the end of the film. It is possibly a Smith & Wesson 6906 (Keyser Soze uses it to kill Keaton (Gabriel Byrne). The Hungarian's Informant is also guarded by a man wielding what could possibly be the same pistol.

Unidentified Revolver

This revolver is used by Keyser Soze (Scott B Morgan) in a flashback to kill Hungarian thugs, as well as his family. It is most likely a Colt New Service or Police Positive.

  • Looks like a Smith & Wesson to me, probably Military & Police / Model 10

I agree: the revolver has a front lock for the extractor rod, something that Colt revolvers don't have

I also agree. There is a good possiblity that it's a Smith & Wesson Model 10

Tokarev TT-33
