Colt 38 Special Squad (original title Quelli della calibro 38, "Those ones of 38 caliber") is a 1976 Italian crime movie directed by Massimo Dallamano. Commissioner Vanni (Marcel Bozzuffi) is waging a personal war against a ruthless crime boss known as "Marsigliese" (Ivan Rassimov), who murdered Vanni's wife. The main weapon of this war is a special squad of four police detectives that ride swift bikes and carry powerful revolvers.
The following weapons were used in the film Colt 38 Special Squad (Quelli della calibro 38):
Handguns
Llama Comanche
The signature weapon of the special squad are long barreled revolvers. Contrary to the movie title, they are neither Colts nor .38 caliber but .357 Llama Comanches, identified due to the combination of vent rib and short shrouded ejector rod (another revolver with such features is the Colt Trooper MK V but, the Trooper would not be released until six years after this film was released).
From left to right: two unnamed detectives (Daniele Gabbai and Ezio Miani), Franco Lubrano (Francesco Ferracini), and Nicola Silvestri (Riccardo Salvino).
Commissioner Vanni (Marcel Bozzuffi) opens the revolver.
Beretta M1934
In the opening scene, Commissioner Vanni (Marcel Bozzuffi) uses a Beretta M1934. It misfires when Vanni tries to shoot at Marsigliese and this inspires Vanni to arm his subordinates with revolvers.
Unique Bcf-66
In several scenes, Marsigliese (Ivan Rassimov) is armed with a pistol that appears to be a French Unique Bcf-66 pistol (Marsigliese is supposed to be a French criminal, after all!). Sometimes it is fitted with a sound suppressor.
Beretta M1951
During the shootout in the opening scene, Marsigliese (Ivan Rassimov) is armed with a pistol that appears to be a Beretta M1951. M1951s are also seen in the hands of various criminals.
Luger P08
Marsigliese's henchmen use Luger P08 pistols in several scenes.
Marsigliese's brother (Augusto Funari) fires a Luger.
Guido Pugliese (Antonio Marsina), Marsigliese's lieutenant, fires a Luger.
Submachine Guns
Beretta M38/42 or M38/44
In several scenes, police carry Beretta M38/42 or Beretta M38/44 SMGs. They are seen only at a distance or in darkness.
Sten Mk II
Several of Marsigliese's henchmen use Sten Mk II.
Roland (Giancarlo Sisti) holds a Sten when the police storm Marsigliese's hideout.
Rifles
ArmaLite AR-7
In one scene Marsigliese (Ivan Rassimov) fires an ArmaLite AR-7 fitted with sniper scope and sound suppressor.
M16
During the attack on Marsigliese's hideout and in the final scene at the airfield, several police snipers carry M16 assault rifles with sniper scopes.
Two unnamed detectives of the special squad (Daniele Gabbai (at the left) and Ezio Miani) aims sniper M16s in the final scene.
M1 Carbine
In several scenes, police snipers carry rifles that are seen only partially but most likely are M1 Carbines, fitted with sniper scopes.
