L.A. Noire

L.A. Noire is a 2011 game developed by Team Bondi and produced by Rockstar Games, taking place in post-war 1940's Los Angeles. The player controls Detective Cole Phelps (voiced by Aaron Staton of Mad Men fame) , a returning veteran of WWII. The game incorporates revolutionary 3D face mapping using multiple cameras to realistically capture the actor's facial expressions. This is important to the games interrogation segments, where reading suspects faces is vital to solving the several cases given.


The following guns were used in the game:



Usable Weapons

Handguns

Colt M1911A1

A Colt M1911A1 .45 pistol is seen prominently used in the game as the protagonist Detective Cole Phelps' (Aaron Staton) sidearm. His partner in Ad. Vice, Det. Roy Earle, also uses the Colt M1911A1 as his sidearm. Oddly, the texture is from the Star Model-P (a Spanish clone of the M1911 pistol), why this was done is unknown as of now. The pistol is missing the barrel bushing and external extractor of a real life Model-P, so it is possible the Star brand name was used as a nod to the game's producing company, "Rockstar Games".

Colt Detective Special

The Colt Detective Special appears to be Stefan Bekowsky's sidearm, it is also used by a masked man when responding to "The Masked Man" street crime, he attempts to fire on Bekowsky from a rooftop but doesn't hit anywhere near him. Phelps's partners in Homicide and Arson, Dets. Rusty Galloway and Hershel Biggs, also use the Colt as their duty weapons. Biggs claims never to have fired his in the line of duty.

Colt M1917

A Colt M1917 appears to be standard issue to uniformed police officers. Cole Phelps uses it as a patrol cop to chase Edgar Kalou and fire a shot into the air to make Kalou stop. Strangely, it appears as Bekowsky's sidearm in "Marriage Made in Heaven" when chasing Sabo, despite it being a Detective Special throughout the other cases.

Browning Hi-Power

A Browning Hi-Power can be seen in a screenshot carried by Cole Phelps. However, it is the in-game sidearm of retired Marine sergeant and insurance/district attorney investigator Jack Kelso. He starts out with a nickel plated version, but is disarmed of it by thugs who kidnap him, and switches to a standarded blued model for the rest of the game. It can be distinguished as such by its apearance and 13 round magazine capacity.
