Smith & Wesson Model 10 HB
Agent Nelson Van Alden (Michael Shannon) fires a Smith & Wesson Model 10 HB (anachronistic for the 1920s era) at the firing range with the other Prohibition agents in training.
Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless
Jimmy Darmody (Michael Pitt) carries a Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless in a shoulder holster. It is differentiated from the .380 ACP Model 1908 in "Home", when Richard Harrow (Jack Huston) asks Jimmy what type of pistol he is carrying and Jimmy responds: "A Colt 1903".

Browning Auto-5
Browning Auto-5 shotguns are used by several characters throughout the series. In the pilot episode, Al Capone (Stephen Graham) carries a Browning Auto-5, as do several of Rothstein's drivers and several Prohibition agents.

Rifles
M1917 Enfield
Richard Harrow uses a scoped [M1917 Enfield] to kill a man in a restaurant. Harrow names it in a list of firearms he owns along with a Colt 1903, Roth-Steyr, Smith & Wesson triple lock, and a Mauser 1914.
Other
Mark I Trench Knife
Jimmy Darmody (Michael Pitt) carries a 1918 Mark I Trench Knife in his left boot. The writers are doing a little bit of homework on this series as when Jimmy is asked what the point on the top of the handle is he says it's a skull crusher and is used for "cracking walnuts", which is what it is arguably more useful for -- Why would you want to try and crush a man's skull when you can stab him with 6 inches of steel.
