- I won't get this finished tonight but I'll start it now. - Gunmaster45
Smith & Wesson Model 29
Inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) returns with his ".44 Magnum", a Smith & Wesson Model 29 with an 8 3/8" barrel (this time not a Model 25 standing in) as his famous sidearm in the film. According to the dialogue, Callahan .44 loads are in fact .44 Special ammunition, as indicated by the following dialogue. "It's a light Special. This size gun it gives you better control and less recoil than a .357 Magnum with wadcutters."
Colt Python
Officer John Davis (David Soul) and the rest of the "Deathsquad" police officers carry 4" Colt Python revolvers, as well as just about every other officer of the SFPD. During the police shooting competition, Davis lets Insp. Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) try out his Python, in which he deliberately misses a target to analyze the slug with a ballistics microscope. In the film the guns are shown capable of being sound suppressed, while this particular revolver has a gap between the barrel and cylinder that is too great and allows gases to escape, as well as sound. Not to mention the guns are not built to thread a suppressor, so such a modification would be quite difficult. Callahan's partner Inspector Early Smith (Felton Perry) carries a 2" Python as his sidearm as well.
Smith & Wesson M76
A Smith & Wesson M76 submachine gun is seen used by one of the "Death Squad" officers to kill a large number of underworld folks at a swimming pool party.
Trivia: Anyone who owns a copy of the DVD may note this scene is called "The Dead Pool" in the scene index, a play on the fifth installment in the Dirty Harry series, The Dead Pool.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
During the plane hijack, the two hijackers use the Model 10 as their weapons. When Harry infiltrates the plane as a pilot, he knocks out one of them and using the gun, kills the other hijacker with the weapon.
When Callahan and Smith are assigned on the stakeout mission at the acessory store, one of the robbers pulls a Model 10 on Early Smith and the store clerks.
Colt Diamondback
Callahan's partner, Inspector Early Smith (Felton Perry), carries a snubnose Colt Diamondback.
Double Barrel Shotgun
When Callahan and Smith are assigned on the stakeout mission at the acessory store, one of the robber holds a double barrel shotgun on Smith before the robber is shot by Callahan.
Smith & Wesson Model 60
Before he is executed, the murderous pimp (Albert Popwell) places this gun under his seat when one of the vigilante cops pulls him over and approaches him.
Unknown bolt action rifle
When back-up arrives to assist Callahan and his officers during the shootout with Frank Palencio and his men, a SFPD detective opens fire upon the mobsters with a bolt action rifle (fitted with scope).
Browning Hi-Power
During the stakeout scene, one of three robbers pulls out a Browning Hi-Power.
