The following firearms were used in the film The Roaring Twenties:
Colt Detective Special
During his time as a bootlegger, Eddie Bartlett (James Cagney) packs a Colt Detective Special. However, as most scenes are set prior to 1927, the Detective Special would be anachronistic.
Colt New Service
George Hally (Humphrey Bogart) carries a Colt New Service M1917. Eddie steals a New Service from George's thug Lefty (Abner Biberman), using it to fatally shoot George.
Colt Police Positive
Eddie's rival gangster, Nick Brown (Paul Kelly) uses a Colt Police Positive during the shootout in the Italian restaurant.
M1911
The sergeant (Joe Sawyer) is briefly seen with a M1911 in a holster. Later, during the 1920 montage, a bootlegger is seen holding a M1911 when opening a door.
unidentified revolvers
One of the warehouse guards carries a revolver.
Thompson M1921
During the 1924 montage, a Thompson M1921 is fired as a symbol of the rising violence of the era.
Springfield M1903
During their WWI service, Eddie, George, and Lloyd (Jeffrey Lynn) each have a M1903 Springfield rifle.
Winchester Model 1894
Danny Green (Frank McHugh) carries a Winchester rifle, most likely a Winchester Model 1894 during Eddie's "Coast Guard" robbery of Nick Brown's shipment.
