Dirty Harry
Smith & Wesson Model 29
The script called for Detective Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) to use a Smith & Wesson Model 29, chambered in .44 Magnum throughout the film. The revolver used was said to be a Model 57 in .41 Magnum.
Winchester Model 70
This .458 Winchester Magnum chambered rifle is used by Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) in the night rooftop shoot out with Scorpio.
Winchester Shotgun
The suspects participating in the famous bank robbery sequence at the start of the movie appear to be using the Winchester Model 1912 or the Winchester Model 1897.
Walther P38
Scorpio steals it by attacking a liquor store owner and obtains it. He uses it to hijack a bus and in the final gunfight with Harry Callahan.
MP40
Scorpio fires it at Detective Chico Gonzales during the fight at the base of the Mt. Davidson Cross as well as the rooftop gunbattle between Scorpio and Callahan. It is also seen briefly in another scene when Scorpio is assembling his sniper rifle on a rooftop. The MP40 is carried in the same case with the rifle as are spare magazines.
Scorpio's Rifle, as shown in:
- Opening snipe-scene on the roof-top pool
- Also, above Washington Square, when Scorpio is about to shoot someone and helipcopter comes.
(Good view of rifle in the suit-case dis-assembled)
is the following:
Scorpio's Rifle is....: A WWII Japanese Arisaka Paratrooper Takedown Rifle, re-built into a wooden hunting stock with differnt
chromed or stainless bolt-handle. If you look simply Google: "Arisaka Paratrooper rifle", you will see this.
Discerening feature is the takedown-joint you can clearly see in the film when Scorpio opens his suitcase over Washington Square.
The metal-joint between the barrel and the receiver, is un-mistakabely the Japanese Arisaka Paratrooper takedown rifle.
Thousands of Arisaka's were brought back to the U.S. after WWII, many were converted from the Japanese 6mm round to .25 Rogers &
.306 cal. due to similar bolt-face sizes. So.... Scorpio's rifle being .306 is technically & historically accurate.
Whoever the Prop-Master for the film was, was smart and did an good job at not only picking something rare, but actually true.
Recap: Scorpio's Rifle is a: WWII Japanese Arisaka Paratrooper takedown rifle, re-fitted into a hunting stock......
