Revision as of 07:02, 21 November 2009
The following firearms can be seen in the film Road to Perdition:
M1911A1
The M1911A1 is the most commonly seen gun in the movie, used primarily by mob soldier Michael Sullivan (Tom Hanks). Connor Rooney (Daniel Craig) also uses an M1911A1 when murdering Finn McGovern (Ciaran Hinds) and, later, Sullivan's wife Annie (Jennifer Jason Leigh) and youngest son Peter (Liam Aiken). (Whenever Sullivan uses this gun to kill Connor, the gun fires three times and, although casings are heard hitting the ground, none are seen leaving the pistol itself and the slide never retracts. Also, the gun is often seen firing with the hammer down, even though it is a single action pistol.)
The "non-gun" above may be a real firearm - if you note the "safety" lever above the thumb on the image "Conner's M19111A1 when he shoots Annie and Peter" you can see that the M1911A1 has a slide lock which allows a single round to be fired without cycling the action.
Thompson M1921
Michael Sullivan uses the .45 ACP Thompson M1921 submachine gun, popular with gangsters of the era, during the Finn McGovern murder and also to gun down John Rooney (Paul Newman) and his gangsters towards the end of the movie.
Smith & Wesson Mk.I Hand Ejector
Calvino (Doug Spinuzza) puts a S&W Hand Ejector under a magazine when his bodyguard (Kevin Chamberlin) tells him that Sullivan is there. Sullivan then grabs it and uses it to shoot both Calvino and the bodyguard, presumably leaving it on the desk when he leaves.
Colt Detective Special
Michael Sullivan (Tom Hanks) gives a .38 Colt Detective Special to his son when he goes in to kill Kelly, telling Michael Jr. that he's "got six shots" if he needs them. At the film's end, a dying Sullivan uses the same revolver to kill Maguire.
Savage 1907
Hitman Harlen Maguire (Jude Law) uses a .32 ACP Savage 1907, shooting Sullivan in the shoulder after the hotel shootout. Michael Sullivan, Jr. (Tyler Hoechlin) picks up this gun at the end of the movie but does not fire it.
Winchester Model 1897
Harlan Maguire (Jude Law) carries a Winchester Model 1897 shotgun under his jacket when he goes to kill Michael in the hotel. He ends up killing the mob accountant but missing Michael.
