Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011)

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is the 2011 sequel to 2009's Sherlock Holmes directed by Guy Ritchie and starring Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Noomi Rapace and Jared Harris.


The following weapons were used in the film Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows:


Handguns

Webley Mk V

An attacker (uncredited) pulls a Webley Mk V on Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.), but Holmes is able to take it away. Madam Simza Heron (Noomi Rapace) hands Holmes another one before he and Watson (Jude Law) infiltrate the Meinhard factory.

Sharps Pepperbox

Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey, Jr.) carries a Sharps Pepperbox pistol while dressed in drag on the train to Brighton, and Watson (Jude Law) uses it to disable one of Moriarty's henchmen manning the machine gun.

Mauser C96

Colonel Sebastian Moran (Paul Anderson) confronts Holmes with a Mauser C96 in the Meinhard factory. The use of this gun in the movie is rather anachronistic as its set in 1891 and the C96 was first produced in 1896. It is implied that the C96 design is a prototype developed by Moriarty's weapons designers for the impending war he desires to start.

Mle 1892 Revolver

Anarchist Claude Ravache (Thierry Neuvic) shoots himself with a Mle 1892 Revolver. Watson later picks it up to confront the other anarchists. Watson still has this revolver, or another copy when he and Holmes infiltrate the Meinhard factory.

Shotguns

Winchester Model 1887

One of Moriarty's train hitmen tries to fire Winchester Model 1887 shotgun on Holmes and Watson, but sets himself on fire due to Holmes' sabotage.

Rifles

Mauser Gewehr 1888

Mauser Gewehr 1888s are used by the Meinhard guards and several men. Madam Simza, Holmes, Watson, and Moran use them during the factory escape.

Mauser Gewehr 1888 - 7.92x57mm Mauser. This sample was an issued rifle in the Ottoman Empire based in its stampings. This is a movie armory weapon. The version in the movie appeared to have a thicker barrel, like the German copies.

Customized Martini-Henry Sniper Rifle

Col. Moran (Paul Anderson) uses a Customized Martini-Henry sniper rifle , which is fitting since he is an veteran of the Anglo-Afghan war. He's also described as the best shot in the army before his dismissal (which Watson erroneously refers to as a dishonorable discharge, which is only reserved for enlisted men.)

Other

Two of Moriarty's gunmen man a Maxim 1895 with brass water jacket, and spade grips in an attempt to kill Dr. and Mrs. Watson.

No. 2 Mk II Hale Grenade

The assassins on the train are equipped with what appear to be modified No. 2 Mk II Hale Grenades. Holmes uses one to set a booby trap.

Custom Submachine Gun

The train assassins and later Watson use what appear to be steampunk inspired custom submachine guns. They load from the top, and appear to be only capable of being fired from the hip.

Gatling Gun

Meinhard guards use Gatling Guns fed from Broadwell drums.

7.58 cm Minenwerfer

Meinhard guards attack the escaping party with 7.58 cm Minenwerfers. This is yet another anachronism, as this weapon wasn't introduced until 1909.
