Live by Night is a 2016 crime film written, directed, and co-produced by Ben Affleck. Set in the US during the time of Prohibition, the film tells the story of Joe Coughlin (Ben Affleck), a Boston gangster who also happens to be the estranged son of a Boston police captain and who starts running a bootlegging operation in Florida. The film was adapted from a novel by Dennis Lehane (the author of Mystic River and whose novel Gone Baby Gone was previously adapted into a film by Affleck). The cast includes Elle Fanning, Brendan Gleeson, Sienna Miller, Zoe Saldana, and Chris Cooper, who also co-starred in Affleck's 2010 directorial effort The Town.
The following weapons were used in the film Live by Night (2016):
Pistols
Colt 1902
Joe Coughlin (Ben Affleck) carries what appears to be a Colt Model 1902 as his sidearm.
CZ 27
Dion Bartolo (Chris Messina) carries a CZ 27 during the poker game and bank robbery.
Luger P08
Albert White (Robert Glenister) pulls a Luger P08 during the climactic shootout.
Revolvers
Colt Official Police
A bank guard fires a 4-inch .38 police revolver, likely a Colt Official Police during a robbery.
Unknown Revolver (Possible Colt Police Positive)
R.D. Pruitt (Matthew Maher )shows up to his meeting with Coughlin with a revolver tucked in his belt. While it's never drawn and not seen in detail, it could be a Colt Police Positive.

Shotguns
Winchester Model 12
Coughlin's second man during the bank robbery carries a cut-down Winchester Model 12 shotgun which he uses to great effect during the getaway.
Double Barrel Shotgun
R.D. Pruitt ([Matthew Maher]]) shows up to his meeting with Coughlin accompanied by two thugs wielding double barreled shotguns.
Submachine Guns
Thompson M1921AC
The cops pursuing Coughlin and his gang after the bank robbery fire Thompson M1921AC submachine guns, noted by their lack of barrel compensators, from their moving police cars. While the Thompsons are period-correct models, the 30-round stick magazines they're loaded with are anachronistic due to their not being manufactured until 1942. The 20-round magazines would have been appropriate for the time of the film. One of Coughlin's gunmen also uses a M1921AC with a 50-round drum in the climactic gun battle.
Thompson M1928
The Thompson M1928 is seen in the hands of multiple gangsters, including Dion Bartolo, throughout the film. They're are seen the most during the climactic gunfight, during which gunmen on both sides wield Thompsons. One gunman is seen briefly wielding a Thompson with the buttstock removed.
Machine Guns
Browning Automatic Rifle
Joe Coughlin wields and fires a customized Browning Automatic Rifle during a shootout. This particular gun resembles the famous sawed off BARs used by Bonnie and Clyde, and also the ones used in the film Public Enemies. The major difference is that while the barrel is shortened, the one in the trailer also has a shortened stock, making it a sort of BAR "whippet gun." While the shortened stock and barrel would certainly make the gun more concealable and lightweight ("lightweight" being a relative term for a 16-pound firearm), controlled fire would probably be nearly impossible. The gun also has a later model sight as opposed to the original WWI model sight, which is considerably rarer, and indicates it was made with a later-model BAR. At least one other gunman is seen holding an identical BAR in the film (likely the same gun used in a different scene).
