Hellboy (2004)

Samaritan

Hellboy's (Ron Perlman) personal sidearm, the Samaritan, of which he aquired in the '50s, he named it the "Samaritan" because it puts monsters out of their misery. The metal of the gun is forged from a combination of Irish church bells, cold iron from crucifixes, blessed silver, and other mystic metals. The grips have the BPRD insignia on each side and the wood of the grips is believed to be that of the cross of which Jesus Christ was crucified on. The gun has immense muzzle energy and is believed capable of breaking a normal mans arm due to great recoil. The gun holds 4 shots (although in the film he fires 8) and fires bullets HB makes himself as a hobby. He puts Holy water, Garlic cloves, and white oak shavings in his special rounds. As he calls them, "The Works." The gun uses a tip-open action similiar to a Webley or Schofield action revolver. It fires double action and single action. When out of bullets, HB likes to use it as a hammer as this cannon weighs around 10 pounds!

A speed loader for the Samaritan with four glass case bullets filled with holy water, garlic cloves and white oak shavings. Although the gun holds only four rounds, Hellboy runs in the museum shooting six times in one scene

Hellboy gives Myers his tipped-open Samaritan to reload. A goof is that the gun doesn't have empty shells in it when he reloads, yet it is a revolver.

This isn't a goof, the cylinder has 4 ejection ports that lie over each round so when the round is spent and the cylinder cycles the empty shell falls out. I know it woudnt work in reality, but he is a big red half demon...go figure

Hellboy fires a green glowing tracker bullet into Samiel. You can see they even added rifling to the barrel of the prop.

Luger P08

Karl Ruprecht Kroenen (Ladislav Beran) uses a Luger P08 early in the film and after firing(realistically) 8 shots, he tosses it down to use his blades.

Luger P08

Kroenen fires his Luger at the US soldiers. You can see nothing cycles making it a prop with muzzle flash added in post production.

Kroenen's gun clicks empty yet notice the toggle isn't locked up.

Heckler & Koch USP Compact

Both John Meyers (Rupert Evans) and Clay (Corey Johnson) use Heckler & Koch USP Compact (modified with regular USP hammers) as their personal sidearms throughout the film. Note: Meyers gun is a fake, as when firing the action does not function and no shells fly out. Guards at the museum are seen using both stainless steel slide version and regular versions as well. Clay's gun is a blank gun as seen when he confronts Kroenen.

H&K USP Compact 9mm.

Heckler & Koch USP Compact with stainless slide - 9x19mm

Myers fires his USP comapct. Note how nothing cycles, meaning the gun isn't a blank gun. Another goof is the muzzle flash is white yet yellow lights sorround him, which would make the muzzle flash yellow, as muzzle flash color is changed by light settings.

A guard fires his USP compact at Kroenen. The man next to him has a stainless slide model.

Agent Clay fires his USP compact at Kroenen. His is a blank gun as it cylces and even locks empty.

Clay's USP compact locks empty. In the next shot though, the slide is unlocked.

Colt M1911A1

In the opening sequence, Sgt. Whitman (Angus MacInnes) first offers his M1911A1 to Young Prof. Broom (Kevin Trainor) then uses his .45 sidearm later to protect Broom from the advancing Kroenen. Many of the soldiers also use their .45s when they first see Hellboy.
