Revision as of 23:29, 6 September 2015
What was the gun used to kill the man in the car before the famous line "Leave the gun, take the conollis." ??? I haven't seen this movie in a while so I can't remember. - Gunmaster45
That gun is shown at such a long distance, its impossible to tell, but it is some kind of silenced automatic, possibly a M1911. User:jackbel
- I don't own this movie, but I remember when they are walking down the road in Italy, a US Army jeep rolls by and one of the soldiers has a Thompson with a stick magazine. Not sure if it was an M1 or an M1921/28, but someone should check it out. - Gunmaster45
Firearms ID
This site has the guns of Sonny, Fredo, and Luca pictured on page 12. [1] --SmithandWesson36 12:31, 30 September 2012 (EDT)
Al Neri's revolver
Due to the shape of the grips, the revolver looks more like Smith & Wesson Victory Model than Model 10. Greg-Z (talk) 10:30, 24 August 2013 (EDT)
- That's right.Plus,that I don't remember any S&W Model 10 grips with that unique Victory Model brown colour--VLAD M (talk) 16:22, 6 September 2015 (EDT)
S&W M36
Hello,there! I will go straight to the subject:I think that the S&W 36 is pretty anarchnostically. I mean,that,when Don Corleone is shot,is 1947. But, the first 36's were developed only at the begging of the '50's,right?--VLAD M (talk) 18:23, 23 August 2015 (EDT)
- Take a look at the grips.They're pretty big and rectangiular compared to a M36.Plus they got that () shape cut on the top(like the Model 29) wich indicates a big S&W revolver.--VLAD M (talk) 16:53, 6 September 2015 (EDT)
- Grips are modular, they could've put bigger grips on a S&W 36. Do you see five shots in the cylinder or six? That would be the deciding factor. --Funkychinaman (talk) 17:01, 6 September 2015 (EDT)
- I think they're 5.Confirms my idea that it's an anarcnostical revolver.By the way,I don't really think that those big grips would be needed on such a small revolver in real life.I mean,the short barrel revolvers have low recoil,while the long barrels give big recoil.--VLAD M (talk) 17:30, 6 September 2015 (EDT)
- Also,Clemenza mentions that it is"as cold as they bought it".What is the conection between the temperature and the revolver itself?--VLAD M (talk) 17:34, 6 September 2015 (EDT)
- S&W made special target grips for both the square and round butt J frame revolvers which gave them a grip a similar size to a square butt K/L frame gun. To me it looks like a 5 shot so I would say that it is a M36. Also, it has the square cylinder release latch which I think makes it a pre '66 model.
