Revolvers

Unidentifiable Revolver

A revolver is drawn by one of the shooters during the final moments of the movie. The scene is too dark and the gun too far to discern distinguishable features. It may be a Smith & Wesson Model 36 or a Colt Detective Special as both were very popular at the time.

A hammer is visible (eliminating hammerless and shrouded hammer models) but unfortunately no other distinguishing features are visible.

Heckler & Koch MP5A5 - 9x19mm, for comparison

The shape of the magazine combined with the setting (West Berlin, West Germany) indicates that the poorly visible gun is an MP5.
