How do you know by these screenshots that it's not a mocked-up 1911A1? You can't see the trigger, it has a 1911A1 hammer, and although it takes place in 1912, the movie prop director probably would be able to fine a blank firing 1911A1 easier than an original 1911 | |||

Revision as of 22:29, 27 November 2009
The following firearms can be seen in the film Titanic:
M1911
Although anachronistic, Spicer Lovejoy (David Warner) carries an ornate nickel-plated M1911 (even though a non-nickel M1911 would have been more correct for someone to carry in 1912, as the weapon hadn't achieved widespread usage yet). At one point, Cal Hockley (Billy Zane) grabs the M1911 from Lovejoy's shoulder holster and chases Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose (Kate Winslet) through the sinking ship. The 1911 came from Stembridge Gun Rentals. It was chosen because the patent date made it plausible. The Colt 1911 started to be issued in test articles around early 1912 to the US Military. Notice the 1911 has a 1911A1 hammer on it.
How do you know by these screenshots that it's not a mocked-up 1911A1? You can't see the trigger, it has a 1911A1 hammer, and although it takes place in 1912, the movie prop director probably would be able to fine a blank firing 1911A1 easier than an original 1911

Webley Mk IV
The officers of the Titanic can be seen with Webley Mk IV revolvers, just as the real officers had carried. First Officer William Murdoch (Ewan Stewart) uses his to shoot two passengers before shooting himself. Second Officer Charles Lightholler (Jonathan Phillips) can be seen threatening several passengers with his, just before actually loading it. Fifth Officer Lowe (Ioan Gruffudd) also briefly can be seen with one, even though the real Officer Lowe carried his own sidearm on the ship, an FN Model 1900.
Remington New Line No.1
A crewman guarding the third class passengers at a gate below decks during the sinking draws a Remington New Line No.1 and aims it at them to keep them away from the gate.
