MP40

Robert Neville has a German MP40 in his gun rack at his penthouse. It is amongst the guns smashed to the ground by Mathias' followers, but Neville manages to grab it and kill several mutants. A pivotal event in the film is when Neville has a chance to kill Mathias, but his gun jams (probably a shell separation in the chamber since the open bolt mechanism works fine).

Colt 1903/1908 Hammerless

The first time that Neville meets Lisa (Rosalind Cash) she is pointing a Nickel plated Colt 1903/08 Hammerless with ivory grips at him. Unknown if it is the 32 or 380 caliber model. Note: In the very first scenes, Lisa's pistol is a silver painted rubber gun, probably the stunt weapon she handled during the night filming and the subsequent motorcycle chase.

Ithaca Model 37 Shotgun

Completely incidental and briefly seen, a dead Los Angeles Police officer lies near his Ithaca Model 37 pump shotgun, a victim of the plague It is hard to see since the shot is a fast zoom to the dead man's face. Trivia: The actor playing the dead L.A. cop can be seen breathing when the camera lingers on him.

The Family ready to smash Neville's gun racks. Left to right: An old M1 Rocket Launcher (2.36"), two more 1903 variants, M1 Garand, M1917 Enfield, High Standard shotgun (unknown model), MP-40 and a standard M1 Carbine (post war). The stark lighting makes it hard to see, but the weapons are easier to identify when the rack comes crashing down (when analyzing frame by frame).

M1 Garand

Seen on Neville's gun rack.

M1903

Several rifles which appear to be M1903 variants are on the rack but never fired or handled. One of them is briefly seen with a scope. Hard to see if it is an 03-A3 or an O3A4, but the scope is a commercial one.

Members of "the Family" prepare to smash Neville's guns. Again, the dark lighting makes it difficult to clearly see the weapons. Only by playing the scenes of the racks smashing to the ground over and over again can one make educated guesses about the firearms.

Trivia Special

Early Flashlight mounts

As in other films before the advent of integral flashlight mounts for submachine guns and other firearms, shooters had to make do. The DIY crude metal clamps that Robert Neville uses to affix a large and bulky flashlight to his M76 Submachine gun was the precursor to the Surefire (and others) tactical lighting systems we enjoy today.
