The following firearms can be seen in the film Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows:



Webley Mk. V

Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) can be seen with a Webley Mk V in the trailer after disarming a man that previously wielded it. He is also seen wielding it in a promotional poster, note Downey's finger is off of the trigger, a sign of good gun handling.

Winchester Model 1887

One of Moriarty's train hitmen tries to fire Winchester 1887 shotgun on Holmes and Watson, but kills himself due to Holmes' sabotage. Also, shotgun's barrel is rifled , due to filmmakers' mistake.

Mauser C96/ M712 Schnellfeuer

Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) loads a Mauser C96 in the trailer. He can also be seen holding it in several promotion photos. The use of this gun in the movie is rather anachronistic as its set in 1892 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.

In a scene in an arms factory the pistol is introduced as being select fire and having a detachable box magazine making it the M712 Schnellfeuer. This furthers the anachronism as this variety was not introduced until 1927 for the Spanish made variety and 1923 for the Mauser produced design.
