Fury is a 2014 World War II film starring Brad Pitt as a US Army tank commander fighting during the closing months of the war in Europe. The film was directed by David Ayer and the cast includes Logan Lerman, Jon Bernthal, Michael Pena, and Shia LaBeouf. The film's production went to great lengths to provide accurate weaponry and armor for the period, including utilizing the only working Tiger tank left in existence.
The following weapons were used in the film Fury (2014):
Handguns
Smith & Wesson M1917
The Smith & Wesson M1917 revolver with custom pexiglass "sweetheart" grips is seen carried by Staff Sergeant Don "Wardaddy" Collier (Brad Pitt). He is notably seen using the revolver to coax Norman Ellison (Logan Lerman) into killing a German soldier.
Smith & Wesson M1917 Revolver (Military issue with lanyard ring) - .45 ACP. Note the ejector-rod socket, common of a Smith revolver. Also note the S&W style cylinder release latch and half-moon front sight. These are the most easily distinguishable external differences between the Colt and S&W versions.
