Talk:The Last Emperor
Nambu
I'm not sure what it is, but I'm pretty sure that's not a 94. The barrel is narrower, the frame doesn't extend underneath the barrel, and the rear sight is wrong.--PistolJunkie 17:44, 23 October 2011 (CDT)
I had my doubts about it too, I only put it there since I had no other guesses. The frame's too big to be the other Nambu, either. Time to hit the internet. BeardedHoplite 18:29, 23 October 2011 (CDT)
Maybe a Papa Nambu? http://members.shaw.ca/nambuworld2/papagallery.htm BeardedHoplite 18:38, 23 October 2011 (CDT)
The Papa Nambu is a variant of the Nambu Type A 1902. The rear sights on the gun in the movie are different from any of the 1902s and the top of the frame (slide?) is too angular.--PistolJunkie 21:31, 23 October 2011 (CDT)

The unidentified pistol is an Italian Model 1910 Glisenti. I reckon they couldn't get a hold of a Nambu. The Glisenti looks similar to the 1902 'Papa' Nambu. IMHO, the Nambu is a better weapon. The Glisenti is definitely an odd piece. I can't ever recall seeing one in a film before.
Thanks for the ID. Just make sure that you properly format (and alter, the description still said "unidentified") any changes. And be sure to sign your posts.--PistolJunkie 02:57, 24 October 2011 (CDT)
