The Split is a 1968 crime movie directed by Gordon Flemyng and based on the novel The Seventh by Donald E. Westlake (under the pen name Richard Stark). A seasoned criminal McClain (Jim Brown) gathers a gang and successfully robs the Los Angeles Coliseum in the day of a great football game. The loot is hidden in the apartments of McClain's ex-wife Ellie, but when next day McClain returns to take the money and divide them among the gang, he finds Ellie dead and the cash stolen.

The following weapons were used in the film The Split:

Revolvers

Smith & Wesson Military & Police

Smith & Wesson Military & Police revolvers with 3" barrels are carried by security guards in Los Angeles Coliseum.

...discharges them and put back in holsters.

Smith & Wesson Model 27

Dave Negli's (Donald Sutherland) personal firearm is a Smith & Wesson Model 27. During the shootout in Gladys' bathroom McClain (Jim Brown) seases Negli's revolver and uses it in subsequent scenes.

S&W Model 27-2 - .357 magnum with 3.5" barrel.

Another view of the same gun. This revolver appears to be not the same movie prop that was used in the scene of the heist as it has a different shape of the front sight.

Smith & Wesson Model 36

Smith & Wesson Model 36 revolvers are McClain's (Jim Brown) backup weapon and Det. Walter Brill's (Gene Hackman) service sidearm. Bert Clinger (Ernest Borgnine) and Marty Gough (Warren Oates) are seen with snub nose revolvers that also appear to be Model 36.

Submachine Guns

Madsen M50

All five robbers use Madsen M50 SMGs during the heist. Later a Madsen is used by Herb Sutro (James Whitmore). During the final shootout Clinger (Ernest Borgnine) and Kifka (Jack Klugman) arm themselves with Madsens.

After the heist all five Madsens are stashed in Ellie's apartments.

Herb Sutro finds the guns and takes one of them.

Shotguns

Winchester Model 1897

During the final shootout Marty Gough (Warren Oates) carries a pump action shotgun. It is seen only partially and in heavy darkness but the general shape of the magazine tube allows to guess that it's a Winchester Model 1897 (or maybe Winchester Model 1912 but this is less credible).
