=Pistols=
==Walther PPK==
At the beginning of the film, the Baby's Mother (Ramona Pringle) draws a Walther PPK from her purse and uses it to try to kill the 1st Killer (Wiley M. Pickett). The gun jams on her, but luckily Mr. Smith (Clive Owen) is there just in time to save her. After killing 1st Killer with a carrot (we know it's insane), he fixes the malfunctioned gun and uses it for the entire first shootout before running out of ammo.
==Desert Eagle Mark XIX==
Mr. Karl Hertz (Paul Giamatti) uses a satin nickel Desert Eagle Mark XIX chambered in .50 AE (you can tell this, because the Mark XIX .357 and .44 Magnum models all have fluted barrels, this one does not) and fitted with a custom muzzle brake as his sidearm, which the director chose as his weapon because he improperly believed it to be "the most powerful handgun in the world" and wanted to portray Hertz as a "pussy with a gun in his hand", as quoted in the film.
A notable mistake in the film is during the scene in which Hertz interrogates Donna "D.Q." Quintano (Monica Bellucci) by burning her with the hot barrel of his Desert Eagle, firing it more times increasingly to make it hotter. Smith interrupts and Hertz points his Desert Eagle at him, only for Smith to tell him he's "blown his load", claiming the gun is a six-shooter, when in fact the .50 AE model holds seven rounds plus one in the chamber. For that matter, none of the Desert Eagle variants hold six rounds. It can be assumed that the writer of the script intended Hertz to have a Magnum revolver, such as the Smith & Wesson Model 500, instead of the Desert Eagle (however, the S&W 500 only holds five rounds), the other possibility is the former most powerful handgun in the world Smith & Wesson Model 29 which is a six-shooter.
==Taurus PT92AFS==
Smith (Clive Owen) takes a Taurus PT92AFS from one of the thugs on the rooftop and uses it for a good portion of the film.
==Taurus PT92 (two-tone)==
A two-tone Taurus PT92 is used by one of Hertz's thugs in Smith's house. In a continuity error, a reverse two-tone model replaces Lone Man's Smith & Wesson Model 629.
==Glock 17==
Glock 17 pistols (both 2nd and 3rd generation) are used by several of Hertz's (Paul Giamatti) thugs throughout the film. At one point, Smith takes a 3rd gen Glock 17 from a dead thug and points it at Hertz, but Hertz tells him the gun has the same thumb print safety as his Desert Eagle (which conveniently fits right in the thumb relief). Smith then reveals the severed hand of the owner and activates the safety just in time to shoot Hertz in the bulletproof vest before he stabs him with a hunk of glass. He then remarks, "Nothing like a good hand-job". We later see him produce a two-tone model with a chrome slide in the Hammerson factory, which he tosses away, setting off a trip wire and killing a thug pointing a gun at him. This same two-tone Glock 17 is also held by the Diner Holdup Leader (David Ury) at the end of the film.
===Special===
==Beretta 92FS==
Beretta 92FS pistols are used by many of Hertz's thugs. Smith (Clive Owen) also uses one during the skydiving shootout.
===Special===
==Beretta 92FS Inox==
A Beretta 92FS Inox is held by the Ugly Toenails Hood (Andy Mackenzie) during the diner robbery at the end of the film.
==SIG-Sauer P226==
Smith grabs a two-tone SIG-Sauer P226 with a newer milled slide and uses it throughout the shootout in his house before it runs dry. Smith also uses a K-Kote model taken from a Secret Service agent to hold Senator Rutledge (Daniel Pilon) hostage on his plane and uses it during the ridiculous skydiving shootout. This is strange because the Secret Service should be using SIG-Sauer P229s.
===Special===
==SIG-Sauer P226R==
SIG-Sauer P226R pistols (SIG-Sauer P226s with Picatinny rails on the frame) are used by several of Hertz's men. Technically these are now the official P226s but on this site we still call them P226Rs for easier categorization.
==SIG-Sauer P228==
Aside from the SIG-Sauer P226 Smith takes from a Secret Service agent, the other USSS agents also use SIG-Sauer P228 pistols, despite the fact that the USSS currently uses P229s, not P228s.
==Heckler & Koch USP-9==
Smith (Clive Owen) takes a Heckler & Koch USP-9 with a stainless slide from a thug in his house after his SIG-Sauer runs out of ammo. He mainly uses it during the shootout in the Hammerson factory. Smith is prominently seen wielding a pair of two-tone USPs on the film cover, although for whatever reason they have the slide of a Desert Eagle digitally edited onto them.
==Heckler & Koch USP Expert==
A Heckler & Koch USP Expert with a stainless slide is held by the Diner Hood with Earring (Mike Rad) before Smith (Clive Owen) kicks it from his hand. Because all his fingers were broken and casted, Smith catches the gun on a carrot held firmly in the cast and uses a carrot to pull the trigger while hitting the gun with his other hand.
==Para-Ordnance Nite-Tac==
Para-Ordnance Nite-Tac pistols in both stainless and black are used by Hertz's men when Hertz (Paul Giamatti) teams up with Hammerson (Stephen McHattie), whom the guns are produced from. Para-Ordnance's logo is shaved off and Hammerson's logo is added instead with laser engraving and backfilling.
===Special===
==Para-Ordnance Nite-Hawg==
Mr. Karl Hertz (Paul Giamatti) uses a Para-Ordnance Nite-Hawg as his "spare rod" or back up gun. Near the end of the film, Smith (Clive Owen) takes this pistol from Hertz and uses it during the final showdown.
===Special===
==Heckler & Koch P7==
Heckler & Koch P7 pistols (not able to confirm them being M8s or M13s) are seen in the pawn shop when Smith (Clive Owen) goes to buy bullets. It can be assumed that these pistols are CO2 copies or airsoft replicas, as are all the guns in the shop.
==Browning BDM==
A Browning BDM is seen on a pistol rack in the pawn shop. Since it closely resembles the BDM but has some different traits, it is likely a cheap airsoft imitation.
==Smith & Wesson 645==
Two Smith & Wesson 645s are seen in the pistol case in the pawn shop.
==Marksman 1010==
A Marksman 1010 air pistol is seen in the pistol case in the pawn shop.
==Colt 1908 Pocket==
A Colt 1908 Pocket is seen on a rack in the pawn shop, likely the infamous and cheap "Colt 25" airsoft gun.
==Colt Double Eagle==
A Colt Double Eagle is seen on a rack in the Hammerson factory. All three pistols on that row are airsoft replicas made by Tokyo Marui.
==Ruger KP90==
A Ruger KP90 is seen on a rack in the Hammerson factory, airsoft replica.
=Revolvers=
==Smith & Wesson Model 629==
Lone Man (Greg Bryk) uses a stainless steel Smith & Wesson Model 629 with a 6" barrel and Hogue grips as his weapon of choice. According to the director, Lone Man's attachment to the .44 Magnum is apparently sexual, as he is often seen "polishing" it in the bathroom. Greg Bryk was somewhat embarrassed when he was informed of this fact, unaware of this character trait when he signed on for the role.
==Smith & Wesson Model 36==
A Smith & Wesson Model 36 is seen on a pistol rack in the pawn shop.
(it's actually only an air cocking pistol not CO2)
=Submachine Guns=
==Heckler & Koch UMP-45==
Heckler & Koch UMP-45s are seen on racks in the Hammerson factory.
==Heckler & Koch MP5A3==
Smith uses several Heckler & Koch MP5A3s with tactical tri-rails as makeshift Rube Goldberg-esque traps to take out Hertz's men in the Hammerson factory.
==Heckler & Koch MP5K==
Multiple variations of the Heckler & Koch MP5K are used by Hertz's men and Smith (Clive Owen) throughout the film.
==IMI Micro Uzi==
A Micro Uzi is seen on a pistol rack in the pawn shop.
==IMI Mini Uzi==
Several of Hertz's men are seen using Mini Uzis during the assault on Smith's house. Smith also takes one and uses it to kill several thugs before switching to another gun.
=Shotguns=
==Mossberg 590 Compact Cruiser==
Smith (Clive Owen) takes a Mossberg 590 Compact Cruiser from one of Hertz's thugs and uses it to kill another, which unrealistically sends the thug flying in the typical action film flair.
===Special===
==Mossberg 500 Cruiser==
Smith uses a Mossberg 500 Cruiser with an extended magazine tube as one of his traps, tossing a two-tone Glock 17 on a trip wire to kill a thug. When the thug is shot, the director imitates the camera blood splatter technique used in video games.
==Remington 870 Police Magnum==
Smith uses several Remington 870 Police Magnum shotguns with synthetic stocks as trip wire traps in the Hammerson factory.
=Rifles=
==Remington 700PSS==
Mr. Karl Hertz (Paul Giamatti) tries to kill the baby at the playground with a Remington 700PSS fitted with a HS Precision stock and folding bipod, a heavy stainless barrel, as well as a stainless 3x9 Buschnell scope. Based on the bolt length, it is assumed to be a .308 caliber.
==Heckler & Koch G36C==
Smith (Clive Owen) is seen loading up a Heckler & Koch G36C in the Hammerson factory, and another one is seen resting on a rifle rack.
==SIG SG 552==
A SIG SG 552 rifle is seen on a rack in the Hammerson factory.
==Colt Model 727==
A Colt Model 727 with a R.I.S. handguard is used by Smith (Clive Owen) as another Rube Goldberg-esque trap, in which he uses strings and trip wires to fire it.
==IMI Micro Galil==
Several of Hertz's men fire Micro Galils at Smith (Clive Owen) during the car chase shootout. Smith knocks out one of these shooters with the door of his BMW and then takes a Micro Galil, using it to take out the pursuing vehicle.
==Unknown AK variant==
Multiple AK rifles are seen on a rack in the pawn shop but are too close and blurry to tell make and model. These are probably airsoft rifles, seeing as they aren't used in any of the shooting scenes and would probably just be expensive props if they were the real deal. They might also be Norinco copies, which don't cost very much either.
==M16A2==
Several M16A2 rifles are seen on a rack in the pawn shop.
=Machine Guns=
==Browning M2HB==
A Browning M2HB is mounted on the M24 Chaffee tank D.Q. (Monica Bellucci) hides in at the museum.
=Others=
==Smith's Hand==
Smith (Clive Owen) takes bullets from a Para-Ordnance Nite-Tac and holds them between his broken fingers and then sticks his hand in the fireplace, shooting Hertz (Paul Giamatti) eight times. Since we only see four bullets in his hand, we realize they can't even get the capacity of the human hand correct! Some questions are raised: How does he eject the magazine when he can barely pull the trigger? How does he remove the bullets from the magazine with broken fingers? And does having all your fingers broken make your hand numb to all pain? Perhaps the biggest problem, though, is the fact that, without rifling, the bullets wouldn't really go anywhere. If anything, the casings, being lighter, would injure Smith's hand even further. The general idea of the film, however, was to be as outrageous and unbelievable as possible, so none of the errors really matter.
