Road to Perdition (2002).


Handguns

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 (Ciarán Hinds) and, later, Sullivan's wife Annie (Jennifer Jason Leigh) and youngest son Peter (Liam Aiken). A major error occurs during the hotel fight with Maguire (Jude Law), just before Sullivan fires the shot that wounds the assassin, as the 1911's slide is clearly locked back, indicating that the weapon is out of ammunition. (actually, this appears to be a sound-editing error. Slow motion shows Sullivan falling backwards and pulling the trigger, firing the last round and locking back the slide, however the sound of the shot deosn't come until a few moments later, making it appear that he fired the round with the slide locked back. What is interesting is that Sullivan only fires four shots before his slide locks back, a bit odd considering that a 1911 magazine holds 7 rounds + 1 in the chamber.)

1911 "Non Gun"

In some shots where an actor is required to fire the 1911 close to another actor, a 1911 "Non Gun" is substituted. Non Guns are electronically-operated and discharge small explosive squibs that make a flash and produce smoke, but they do not eject shell casings or have any moving parts besides the trigger. Sullivan can be seen using a non-gun when he kills Connor Rooney. This is obvious, as the gun fires three times, but no casings are seen leaving the weapon (they are heard hitting the ground), the slide never cycles, and the gun is seen firing with the hammer down, even though it is a single action pistol.

Sullivan shoots Connor with a 1911 "non-gun". The shape of it, as well as the fact that Sullivan fires it three times without it cycling and with only a flash emitting with each shot, gives it away as a "non-gun".

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.
