Gangster Squad
Gangster Squad is a 2012 film, about 'unauthorized' efforts by a special task force of the LAPD in 1949 to deal with an influx of organized crime. The so called "Gangster Squad" have an unusually wide latitude in their authority when dealing with mobsters, many times conducting themselves in manners outside of the law.
The Following guns were used in the film:
Handguns
M1911A1
Gangster Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) wields an M1911A1 throughout the film.
Colt Detective Special
A nickel plated Colt Detective Special is favored by Coleman Harris (Anthony Mackie)
Smith & Wesson Model 10
LA Detective Navidad Ramirez (Navidad Ramirez) carries and uses a Smith & Wesson Model 10.
Colt Model 1903
Sgt. Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling) favors a Colt Model 1903 (or 1908 but we cannot determine the caliber from the film). His gun is a blued finish with ivory grips.
Single Action Army
Old Timer Max Kennard (Robert Patrick) keeps his handy Single Action Army as his preferred sidearm.
Shotguns
Winchester Model 12
Several times in the film we see a cut down Winchester Model 12 shotgun.
Ithaca Model 37
John O'Mara (Josh Brolin) carries a riot barrel length Ithaca 37 shotgun in several scenes. Sgt. Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling) also uses the shotgun to shoot a gangster.
Submachine Guns
Thompson M1928
Most of the mobsters are seen firing a mix of Thompsons. Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) fires what appears to be an M1928A1 with a drum magazine several times in the film.
Thompson M1921C
Several times, in mass shooting scenes, we see what appears to be ribbed barrel Thompsons with no Cutts Compensators. These could be the M1921C Thompsons chronicled here before.
M1A1
Being a post WW2 film (the events take place in 1949) we see ex military M1A1 Thompsons mixed in with the M1928 style submachine guns. Some of the M1A1 Thompsons have the straight foregrip (as they appeared in the Army) and some of them have the older style forward pistol grip remeniscient of the M1928 guns.
