Black Sunday
 Nice, but where's the trigger? This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it. |
The following guns were used in the film Black Sunday (1977):
M1911A1
Palestinian terrorist leader Nageeb (Victor Campos) attempts to grab a Colt M1911A1 from his bedstand before being shot by Israeli commandos during a raid in Beirut. A disguised Israeli commando is also seen wielding a M1911A1 as the commandos flee the terrorist villa.
Colt Detective Special
Major David Kabakov (Robert Shaw) uses a Colt Detective Special when he chases a Palestinian terrorist named Mohammed Fasil through the streets of Miami, shooting the terrorist after an extended standoff. Kabakov later uses the revolver to shoot at the Goodyear blimp piloted by Michael Lander (Bruce Dern) as he attempts to carry out his attack at the Super Bowl.
Smith & Wesson Model 28 Highway Patrolman
Terrorist Mohammed Fasil (Bekim Fehmiu) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 28 Highway Patrolman revolver (.357 magnum) to kill several federal agents and civilians during a bloody shootout in Miami.
Colt New Service Revolver
A suppressed revolver is used by Major David Kabakov to threaten businessman E. Muzi (Michael V. Gazzo) into identifying who had purchased explosives for use in a potential terrorist attack. The revolver appears to be a large framed Colt revolver. The New Service large frame revolver was discontinued in 1941. Colt did not resume manufacturing large framed revolvers until the Anaconda in the eighties.despite the supressor it is possible that the revolver is a "Fitz Special", based on the short barrel. However it does not appear that the hammer has been bobbed - another characteristic of a Colt Fitz Special.
Walther PPK Pistol
During the scene that takes place in Major Kabakov's (Robert Shaw) hospital room his partner, Robert Moshevsky (Steven Keats), removes his sports jacket. It appears that he is wearing a shoulder holster with a Walther PPK in the holster. Since the only thing visible is the pistol's handle it is possible that it is a Walther PP instead.
Smith & Wesson Model 10 Revolver
A suppressed Smith & Wesson Model 10 Snub Nose Revolver is used by terrorist Dahlia Iyad (Marthe Keller) to shoot the original pilot of the Goodyear blimp so that Michael Lander could take his place.
Remington 870
Former Vietnam veteran Michael J. Lander (Bruce Dern) threatens Dahlia Iyad with a Remington 870 shotgun when he becomes distraught over Dahlia's absence. However, she manages to get him to lay the weapon down.
Madsen M50
The Madsen M50 submachine gun is used by terrorist Dahlia Iyad throughout the movie, who uses it to kill several police officers and to shoot down a police helicopter during the finale. Palestinian guards in Beirut are also seen with M50s.
IMI Uzi
A silenced IMI Uzi submachine gun is used by Mossad agent Major David Kabakov during the Israeli commando raid in Beirut. He uses the weapon to kill several terrorists including Nageeb, but does not shoot Dahlia Iyad despite surprising her in the shower.
Smith & Wesson M76
A Smith & Wesson M76 submachine gun is used by FBI agent Sam Corley (Fritz Weaver) when he and Kabakov chase the terrorist's Goodyear blimp in a helicopter during the finale. After Corley is injured by Dahlia, Kabakov uses the M76 to shoot her and Michael Lander, preventing them from crashing the blimp into the Super Bowl stadium.

Kalashnikov rifle
When Major David Kabakov learns of Dahlia Iyad's identity during a secret meeting with an Egyptian intelligence officer, he is presented with a photo of her brandishing a Kalashnikov.
Looks like an Iraqi Tabuk variant.

A sniper rifle is used by Major David Kabakov during the finale, before he switches to the M76 submachine gun.
- I'd say it is a sporterized Springfield 1903 based on the knob striker. - Gunmaster45
