== Colt Detective Special ==
=Handguns=
Called just the "Snubnose" in the game, the [[Colt Detective Special]] can be bought as the Saturday night special" which has gold plating and an ivory handle. It is said to be the most silent and the weakest of the handguns in the game. An enhanced version of this revolver called the Black Widow can be added on.

[[Image:Godfather_game_snubnose.jpg|thumb|none|600px]]
Called just the "Snubnose" in the game, the [[Colt Detective Special]] is the most silent and the weakest of the handguns in the game. The Level 2 revolver is a variant of the Level 1 one, and is called the "38 Special". The Level 3 variant is called the "Saturday Night Special", and has gold plating and an ivory handle (this is odd, as normally the term "Saturday Night Special" refers to a small, ''inexpensive'' handgun). An enhanced Level 4 version of this revolver, called the "Black Widow" can only be accessed with DLC. The use of a 3rd Gen. Detective Special is anachronistic, because production didn't start until 1973, while ''The Godfather'' takes place from 1945-1955, well too early for a 3rd Gen model. A more realistic choice would have been the 1st Gen or an early 2nd Gen model.

==Colt M1911A1==
==Colt M1911A1==
The [[M1911A1]] is called just "Pistol" in the game. There is an Assassin version of this pistol that can be picked up by a gun merchant. It is given black paint and kills with one shot. The original holds 8 rounds. The extended level 2 gun holds 10 and the Assassins carries 14 rounds. This gun is more of a Browning Hi-Power then a Colt M1911A1 when it becomes the assassins pistol. The level 4 version is called the Herzstopper and can be added on.  
The [[M1911A1]] is simply called the "Pistol" in the game, and holds 8 rounds. The "Extended Clip" Level 2 variant holds 10 rounds. The Level 3 ("Assassin Pistol") variant of this gun can be picked up from a gun merchant; it is given a black finish, carries 14 rounds, and kills with one shot. The Level 4 version is called the "Herzstopper" and can only be obtained with DLC. The "Herzstopper" has rich engravings, an extended 20-round magazine, suppressor, and fires in full-auto.

The [[Colt Official Police]] is called "Magnum" in the game. In reality this gun fires .38 Special just like the "Snubnose". The Lvl 4 Magnum is called the Annihilator.
The [[Colt Official Police]] is called "Magnum" in the game, even though in reality this gun fires .38 Special ammunition just like the "Snubnose", rather than any type of "Magnum" cartridge. A version with a 5" barrel (that mysteriously increases the damage) is the Level 2 variant, and is referred to as the "Extended Barrel Magnum". This can be upgraded to Level 3, at which point it becomes the "[[Python]]" (actually a different Colt revolver altogether) with a 6" barrel, which is gold plated with an ivory handle, holds an incorrect 8 rounds, and is much more powerful. The Level 4 Magnum is called the "Annihilator".

=Shotguns=
 
==Winchester Model 1912==
The [[Winchester Model 1912]] is called the "Long-Barreled Shotgun" in game. It has a strange set of mechanics; despite being pump-action, it is possible to fire 2 shots before one actually has to actually pump it. As one would expect from a game's shotgun, this gun does nice work in close range shootouts.

== Sawed-Off Double-Barreled Shotgun==
The [[Double Barrel Shotgun|Sawed-Off Double-Barreled Shotgun]] appears as "Double Barrel Shotgun", and is an level 2 shotgun.

== "Street Sweeper" ==
The level 3 shotgun is named the "Street Sweeper" which has a 10 round drum and is capable of rapid fire. However, despite being an obvious reference to the real-life [[Armsel_Striker#SWD/Cobray_Street_Sweeper|Street-Sweeper]] shotgun - which also fires rapidly and has a drum - this is clearly not the same weapon, as it looks significantly different, and the real Street-Sweeper was introduced much later on than the game's setting. In appearance, this weapon looks like an sawed-off M1912, feeded from detachable magazines, while the magazine tube is replaced on the foregrip which is very similar to the M1/M1A1 Thompson.

It is said to rival the "Shotgun" in power in the game. This can be upgraded to the "Python" which is gold plated with an ivory handle, has 8 rounds and is much more powerful.
=="Lupara"==
[[Image:ColtOP5.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Colt Official Police - .38spl.]]
If you are a member of the Playstation store, you can buy an add on content that gives you an automatic shotgun that you can pick up from a merchant in the game. This fictional weapon is similar to "Street Sweeper", but has a two barrels. This is the Lvl 4 Shotgun. It is also available on Xbox Live as downloadable content. The name is odd, as the term "Lupara" is normally slang for a sawn-off SXS shotgun like the one above.

==Colt M1921A Thompson==
=Submachine Guns=
The gun omnipresent in any mobster movie/game, the [[Thompson Submachine Gun]] is called inside the game only by it's nickname, "Tommy Gun". It inaccurately carries only 25 rounds, when in reality the drum magazine houses a plentiful 50 rounds. A Tommy gun can be bought with a 50 round drum and another version can be bought with a 75 round stick mag which is inaccurate. There is a version called the Dillinger, it has a 20 round drum and has a removed butt stock. This is a reference to John Dillinger. The gun itself resembles a Colt M1921A Thompson due to it self being non-compensator.

==Winchester Model 1897==
==M1A1 Thompson==
The [[Winchester Model 1897]] is called the "long barreled shotgun" in the game, though it actually lacks the exposed hammer of the M1897. It has a strange reloading scheme: despite being pump-action, you can fire 2 shots before you have to actually pump it. As one would expect from the "shotgun" of the game, this gun does nice work at close range shootouts. The shot gun can be upgraded to a "Street Sweeper" which has a 10 round drum and has rapid fire. However, despite being an obvious reference to the real-life Street-Sweeper shotgun - which also fires rapidly from a drum - this is not the same weapon, as it looks significantly different, and the real Street-Sweeper was first invented and designed much later on.
The anachronistic [[M1A1 Thompson]] is called inside the game only by its nickname, "Tommy Gun". It will load from drum magazines (something that the M1A1 Thompson can't actually do, due to its magazine well design), while the handguard is replaced with the foregrip normally found on the 1921/1928 Thompson variants. It inaccurately carries only 25 rounds in the ridiculous little drum magazine (while in reality it would be a stick). A Tommy Gun of level 2 with a correct 50 round drum can be bought, and is referred to as the "Modified Tommy Gun".

The "Level 3" Thompson variant appears as the "Dillinger"; his name, of course, a reference to gangster John Dillinger. It has a 30-round box magazine (that holds 75 rounds, which is inaccurate), removed buttstock, and it does not have any sights, which makes it similar to several [[Thompson#M1919_Thompson|M1919]] prototypes.

The Godfather (2006)

The following guns were used in the 2006 video game The Godfather:


Handguns

Colt Detective Special

Called just the "Snubnose" in the game, the Colt Detective Special is the most silent and the weakest of the handguns in the game. The Level 2 revolver is a variant of the Level 1 one, and is called the "38 Special". The Level 3 variant is called the "Saturday Night Special", and has gold plating and an ivory handle (this is odd, as normally the term "Saturday Night Special" refers to a small, inexpensive handgun). An enhanced Level 4 version of this revolver, called the "Black Widow" can only be accessed with DLC. The use of a 3rd Gen. Detective Special is anachronistic, because production didn't start until 1973, while The Godfather takes place from 1945-1955, well too early for a 3rd Gen model. A more realistic choice would have been the 1st Gen or an early 2nd Gen model.

Colt M1911A1

The M1911A1 is simply called the "Pistol" in the game, and holds 8 rounds. The "Extended Clip" Level 2 variant holds 10 rounds. The Level 3 ("Assassin Pistol") variant of this gun can be picked up from a gun merchant; it is given a black finish, carries 14 rounds, and kills with one shot. The Level 4 version is called the "Herzstopper" and can only be obtained with DLC. The "Herzstopper" has rich engravings, an extended 20-round magazine, suppressor, and fires in full-auto.

Colt Official Police

The Colt Official Police is called "Magnum" in the game, even though in reality this gun fires .38 Special ammunition just like the "Snubnose", rather than any type of "Magnum" cartridge. A version with a 5" barrel (that mysteriously increases the damage) is the Level 2 variant, and is referred to as the "Extended Barrel Magnum". This can be upgraded to Level 3, at which point it becomes the "Python" (actually a different Colt revolver altogether) with a 6" barrel, which is gold plated with an ivory handle, holds an incorrect 8 rounds, and is much more powerful. The Level 4 Magnum is called the "Annihilator".

It will load from drum magazines (something that the M1A1 Thompson can't actually do, due to its magazine well design), while the handguard is replaced with the foregrip normally found on the 1921/1928 Thompson variants.
