The following weapons were used in the film The Dead Pool:

WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!

Handguns

Smith & Wesson Model 29

Inspector "Dirty Harry" Callahan (Clint Eastwood) continues to carry the Smith & Wesson Model 29 as his sidearm in the film.

Smith & Wesson Model 29 - .44 Magnum. This is Clint Eastwood's actual screen used Model 29 in the movie The Dead Pool. It has all the scuffs from the scene on the docks when it was dropped and kicked.

Inspector Callahan (Clint Eastwood) kills the last of mobster Lou Janero's (Anthony Charnota) thugs with his Smith & Wesson Model 29.

"You forgot your fortune cookie... it says.. you're shit out of luck."

Callahan fires at one of the robbers in the Chinese restaurant.

Callahan shoots his S&W at one of the robbers.

Callahan pulls his Model 29 on two fans requesting an autograph, mistaking them for more hitmen trying to kill him.

Harlan Rook (David Hunt) with Callahan's Model 29.

Callahan checks to make sure his Smith & Wesson Model 29 was indeed empty by pulling the trigger. This isn't a recommended method though, since if it isn't empty, a nasty surprise awaits. Another note is that, in a continuity error reminiscent of the original film, Callahan pulls the trigger in double-action, despite the gun previously being cocked to a single-action state just before this.

Browning Hi-Power

A Browning Hi-Power is used by the Gunman #1 in the Chinese Restaurant (Kristopher Logan). One is also seen in the shoulder holster of one of Lou Janero's (Anthony Charnota) bodyguards sent to protect Insp. Callahan (Clint Eastwood). The bodyguard is played by Clint Eastwood's stand-in.

-One of the props on the set of Peter Swan's ([[Liam Neeson]]) new film is a high-powered Harpoon gun, which for unknown reasons '''actually fires''' harpoons. On real film sets, deadly weapons are typically avoided for obvious reasons. At the end of the film, Insp. Callahan ([[Clint Eastwood]]) uses the Harpoon gun to kill Harlan Rook ([[David Hunt]]), after he runs out of bullets.  Members of the band '''''Guns N' Roses''''' make a cameo appearance as the crew firing the harpoon during the movie within a movie.
