The film's cast included Edmond O'Brien, Virginia Mayo, and Margaret Wycherly. This is the film where Cagney yells, "Made it Ma! Top of the World!" while holding a Colt Detective Special.
The following weapons were used in the film White Heat:
Cody Jarrett (James Cagney) primarily uses a Colt Detective Special before prison and after prison (when one is smuggled to him by Tommy Ryley (Robert Osterloh)). "Big Ed" Somers (Steve Cochran) also uses a Detective Special during the opening train robbery and when he is waiting for Cody after his prison breakout. Hank Fallon/"Vic Pardo" (Edmond O'Brien) also briefly uses one.
The accountant guard at the chemical plant payroll office carries a Winchester Model 1897, which Hank Fallon (Edmond O'Brien) uses to try and round up the gang. Cody Jarrett (James Cagney) then takes it from him, using it until he runs out of shells. Some of the LAPD officers also carry Model '97s.
The LAPD fires Federal L-5 Gas Riot Guns at the Jarrett gang during their final robbery of the payroll.

This is differentiated from the newer M201Z launcher in that the L-5 has a smooth outer barrel (with no ring for a sling swivel) and the lack of a rear ladder sight).Error creating thumbnail: File missingLAPD officers fire Federal L-5 Gas Riot Guns - 37mm
