Justine (Brie Larson) appears to be armed with a nickel Taurus Model 85 revolver. Since the film takes place in Boston in 1978, this may be an anachronism since the Model 85 wasn't offered in the U.S. Market until 1984, however Taurus did start making a overseas version of this revolver in 1977 when they broke off from Smith & Wesson, so it's possible this is an overseas market pistol (despite not being available to U.S. shooters until the 80s).
Harry (Jack Reynor) takes a Smith & Wesson Model 36 out of the van and uses it to shoot Stevo (Sam Riley), starting off the fire fight. He uses it throughout the rest of the film.
A Smith & Wesson Model 629 is used by Martin (Babou Ceesay). Though it should be a nickel Model 29 (which had been in circulation for years before the year 1978) the Stainless 629 was introduced in 1978 which makes it not anachronistic for the film, but only barely.
Several Beretta SC-70/223s, are seen in an arms deal, distinguished from the standard AR-70/.233 model by their folding stocks. This rifle is used by Ord (Armie Hammer) and Chris (Cillian Murphy).
Several characters are seen armed with the M1 Carbine. It is a post war variant with a perforated metal heat shield and post war rear sight and bayonet lug.
