Revolvers

Smith & Wesson Model 29

San Francisco Police Inspector Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) continues to carry as his sidearm his ".44 Magnum", the Smith & Wesson Model 29 with an 6 1/2" barrel. He comments in the film to his partner Insp. Kate Moore (Tyne Daly) that he particularly favors this gun due to penetration power, since he claims he's seen a .38 ricochet off a car windshield.

Colt Diamondback

The 2" barrel version of the Colt Diamondback is carried by Callahan's partner, Inspector Kate Moore (Tyne Daly), who keeps it in her purse. This revolver is also carried by many members of the San Francisco Police Department, including Harry's Homicide Lieutenant, Al Bressler (Harry Guardino). The way to identify it is by comparing the trigger guards of the Python and the Diamondback.

Other

M72A1 LAW

The M72A1 LAW (Light Anti-Tank Weapon) rocket launcher is first seen in the film being demonstrated at an Army testing range. The US Army instructor, Staff Sergeant Carrillo (Glenn Leigh Marshall), refers to the launcher as a "L.A.W.S.", which is the less-used alternate acronym used for this weapon, standing for Light Anti-Armor Weapons System. The LAW is also among the weapons taken from the depot by Maxwell (DeVernen Bookwalter) and his men. During the final battle on Alcatraz, Maxwell drops his LAW and it is picked up by Insp. Callahan (Clint Eastwood), who uses it to destroy an Alcatraz guard tower.
