Nambu Type 14

The sidearm of the Japanese Colonel Sato (Shibuya Tenma) is a Nambu Type 14 pistol. It is used twice throughout the film. First to shoot a fighter after an arena match, the second time during the films climax. Note that the one in the movie has a fully rounded trigger guard unlike the one on the preview image provided below. In several scenes a non-gun was used in place of the real Nambu Type 14.
