Nice, but where's the trigger?

Guns used in the film The Most Dangerous Game. The film is based off of a short story of the same name by Richard Connell and concerns a shipwrecked man, Robert Rainsford (Joel McCrea) who is hunted on an island for sport by an evil Russian count.

Luger P08

A Luger handgun is used throughout the film by the villains to force Rainsford and others to comply. At the climax of the film, Count Zaroff (Leslie Banks) retrieves the weapon from a desk drawer and tries to shoot Rainsford with it. Later, Rainsford uses the Luger to shoot one of Zaroff's men.

Bolt-Action Scoped Rifle

To be identified. Whilst hunting Rainsford, Zaroff carries a bolt-action rifle with a scope on it. Rainsford simply refers to it as "a high-powered rifle." Several shots featuring actor Leslie Banks as Zaroff were flipped, as evidenced by the bolt appearing on the wrong side of the rifle.
