Browning Hi-Power
Error creating thumbnail: File missing The first version of the classic pistol, developed by John Browning and adopted by Belgium in 1935, the FN P-35 - 9x19mm. During World War II, the Germans would occupy the Belgian firearms factories and continued to produce this gun, still called the P-35, but with Waffenamt stamps. The design would be adopted by other countries and manufactured abroad with the generic designation simply as the "Browning High Power".

Acetylene "non" gun
Common in movies where they could not use real guns (like in places with noise restrictions, around small children, or close to an actor's head). Also, New York City has draconian anti gun laws, thus these FAKE guns which fire a 'poof' of acetylene flash and smoke are used instead of real blank firing guns in many instances. (Most noticeably in the movie the Siege when used by Denzel Washington). These fake guns look a little similar to major models of handguns (Beretta 92, Glock, M1911) but something about them always looks a little 'off'.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Dolph Lundgren fires an Acetylene "Non" gun pistol, though it might be trying to resemble an M1911
NOTE: The 1989 film version of The Punisher was filmed entirely in Sydney, Australia and not in New York City.
