==FN Model 1910==
Multiple characters throughout the film, including multiple IJA officers, use the FN Model 1910 throughout the film.

==Nambu Type 14==
Both the era-accurate "early model" and anachronistic "late model" (introduced in 1936, three years after this film's setting) Nambu Type 14 appear in the film being used by Imperial Japan-affiliated characters.

Hawaii Pistol (Ha Jung-woo) prominently uses a suppressed Walther PPK throughout the film. Unsilenced PPKs are also used by multiple characters throughout the film, as well.
==Webley & Scott Metropolitan Police Model==
The owner of Anemone (Kim Hae-sook) commits suicide with a Webley & Scott Metropolitan Police Model. An IJA officer is also seen with the pistol in an imagination sequence.

Multiple characters throughout the film use the Smith & Wesson Model 10.
==Webley .38 Mk IV==

==Husqvarna m/37-39==
One of Kim Koo's guards is seen with an anachronistic Husqvarna submachine gun.
==Lanchester Mk. I*==
Buddy (Oh Dal-su) uses a Lanchester Mk. I* throughout the film. The submachine gun's appearance is anachronistic since it was introduced in 1941 (8 years after the setting of this film); it might be standing for the SIG Bergmann which was used by Chinese and Japanese troops at the time.

The M1928 Thompson is used by multiple characters throughout the film, most prominently by An Ok-yun (Gianna Jun) and by Chu "Big Gun" Sang-ok (Cho Jin-woong). Sang-ok correctly refers to the gun as a Thompson twice throughout the film.

==Mosin Nagant M1891==
An Ok-yun (Gianna Jun) uses a Mosin-Nagant M1891 for sniping throughout the film. There are multiple inaccuracies with the rifle's scope in the film; firstly, the PU scope cannot be attached to the M1891 model of the Mosin Nagant (the scope was developed and released long after the M1891 stopped being produced), and secondly, the scope's sight is a generic cross shape instead of the PU scope's unique "T" shape.

=Machine Guns=
==Maxim M1910==
