Muerte de un quinqui (never released in English; direct translation of the title is Death of a Hoodlum) is a 1975 Spanish crime thriller directed by León Klimovsky. After a jewelry store heist one of the criminals, Marcos (Paul Naschy), deceived his companions and disappeared with all loot. While other robbers search him, Marcos hides in the remote province and is hired as a manservant in an estate where a disabled man lives with his wife and daughter.
The following weapons were used in the film Death of a Hoodlum (Muerte de un quinqui):
A suppressed Astra 400 pistol is used by Marcos (Paul Naschy) during the heist in the opening scene. Later he is seen with this pistol in several scenes, using it with and without suppressor. Astra 400 pistols are also used by Martín (Frank Braña) and his henchmen.
In the opening scene Samano (Francisco Nieto), the second robber, is armed with an 1911-style pistol. Similar looking pistols are also seen in hands of other criminals, including Martín (Frank Braña). As the movie is Spanish, these pistols are supposed to be Spanish versions of 1911, like Star Model B (or maybe a Super B).
A revolver is Marcos' (Paul Naschy) backup weapon. It looks like some Arminius HW model, similar to HW-3 but with a different front sight and ejector rod.
One more weapon, used by Marcos (Paul Naschy), is a Rexim-Favor submachine gun. It's a "Commando" version of this weapon, identifiable by its unshrouded barrel.
A semi-auto carbine is Ricardo's (Heinrich Starhemberg) favoured weapon. In the final scene it is used by Elena (Julia Saly), Ricardo's daughter. The carbine appears to be Erma EM1, a commercial version of M1 Carbine in .22 caliber. The lack of ajustable rear sight allows to identify this particular rifle as a version in .22 WMR, unlike more common EM1 in .22LR caliber.
In one scene two policemen visit the estate. They carry Mauser rifles that appear to be M43 Spanish Mausers, identifiable by straight bolt handles and auxiliary bayonet lugs, but they have shorter barrels.
