Bullet in the Head

Pistols and Revolvers
Smith & Wesson Model 15
A pivotal weapon in the film, a Smith & Wesson Model 15 is first used by Wing (Waise Lee) to show Fai (Jackie Cheung) that things can only be seized through the barrel of a gun. Later, Fai is given a similar revolver by the Việt Cộng, who force him to execute American prisoners with it. Wing eventually uses the revolver to shoot Fai in the head, thus evoking the movie's title.
M1911A1
M1911A1 pistols are among the most common in the movie, being used by the protagonists, South Vietnamese gangsters and ARVN soldiers throughout the movie. Both Ah Bee (Tony Leung) and Wing use M1911A1s when they confront each other at the end of the film.

Remington 870 Shotgun
Ah Bee uses a pistol-gripped Remington 870 shotgun with a sawed-off barrel during the gunfight at the crime lord's club. The cap on the magazine tube is the giveaway that it's an 870.
