The following firearms were used in the movie Blood Diamond









Glock 26

Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio) carries a Glock 26. He is briefly seen trying to meet with one of the commanders with the RUF and is stopped by Commander Rambo (Ato Essandoh). Commander Rambo doesn't trust Danny when his plane flies away. Danny disarms and raises his hands to show he means peaceful intentions to trade weapons for diamonds. The pistol is never seen for the rest of the movie, presumably confiscated when he is caught later smuggling diamonds.

Smith & Wesson Model 629

Commander Rambo of the RUF wields a Smith & Wesson Model 629 revolver when he confronts Danny and demands his weapon. There is a slight possibility the revolver could be a Smith & Wesson Model 686, however the barrel looks about 5" which would likely make it the 629 model.
