The Frommer Stop pistol is the personal sidearm of state prosecutor Norbert von Wenk (Bernhard Goetzke). It is later seen in the hands of the head of police.
Police officers use short-barreled revolvers during the attack on the house. Their cylinders, barrel size, and rods are indicate they are Harrington & Richardson Young America revolvers.
Hawasch (Károly Huszár) and Georg (Hans Adalbert von Schlettow) both have revolvers. Despite being hardly seen, their grips, cylinders, and hammers indicate they are Nagant M1895 revolvers. State prosecutor von Wenk (Bernhard Goetzke) is also seen using one.

Hawasch (Karoly Huszar), Dr. Mabuse (Rudolf Klein-Rogge), Fine (Grete Berger), and Spoerri (Robert Forster-Larrinaga) all use carbines versions of the same rifle during the shootout. One full length rifle is also used fired from a house by an unknown shooter.
The assault troops and state prosecutor von Wenk (Bernhard Goetzke) use fake hand grenades resembling various German-made stick grenades in an attempt to break the door of the house.
Note: real explosions are seen, but they were caused by other grenades.
During the assault, real explosions tear down the door of the house. Upon closer inspection, some round grenades are seen. They are, most likely, British No. 15 Hand Grenade "Ball" grenades as they have fuses and a similar shape.
