Fargo (1996).

The following guns were used in the movie Fargo:





SIG-Sauer P226

Gaear Grimsrud (Peter Stormare) and Carl Showalter (Steve Buscemi) use a nickel-plated SIG-Sauer P226 throughout the movie. Gaear uses it to kill the state trooper and the two teens outside of Brainerd. Carl later uses it to kill Wade Gustafson in Minneapolis. Typically, whenever the SIG is actually fired, a SIG-Sauer "Non Gun" is used.

SIG-Sauer "Non-Gun"

As mentioned previously, the SIG-Sauer "Non-Gun" is used in almost all scenes where the nickel SIG-Sauer P226 is fired by the kidnappers. This is most likely due to the extremely close proximity at which Peter Stormare and Steve Buscemi tend to use the weapon when firing at other actors; in such circumstances, blanks would be too dangerous.

Gaear shoots the state trooper's in the head. In this shot, the SIG used is a "Non Gun", since Peter Stormare is firing so close to Steve Buscemi's head and also only a few feet from the actor playing the state trooper.

Smith & Wesson Model 36

Brainerd Chief of Police Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 36 in a shoulder holster modified to accommodate her pregnancy. She uses it to shoot a fleeing Gaear in the leg after she catches him shoving the remains of Carl into a woodchipper at the lake.
