The following firearms can be seen in Sharky's Machine (1981):
Colt Goverment Model
The Colt Goverment Model is used by the Atlanta City Police detectives throughout the movie.
Smith & Wesson Model 29
A Smith & Wesson Model 29 44 magnum revolver with a 6.5" barrel is used with very impressive results by the drug dealer Murray Boots (Lamar Jackson) at the beginning of the movie when Sharky (Burt Reynolds) is attempting to buy heroin from him during an undercover operation. Another officer drives up onto the buy and the whole operation goes to hell. There then ensues a pursuit through Atlanta.It ends with Boots taking a hostage and attempting to use a transit bus to escape. Of course he fails.
Colt Python
Sharky (Burt Reynolds) uses a Colt Python with a six inch barrel during the botched drug buy and subsequent gun fight at the beginning of the movie.
Colt Diamondback
Sharky (Burt Reynolds) has a Colt Diamondback with a 4" barrel in the bag with the drug buy money. The drug dealer Murray Boots (Lamar Jackson) identifies it as a Diamondback. He takes it from Sharky when the corrupt police officer drives up onto the buy and blows Sharky's cover. However the Diamondback is empty. Sharky's real piece is a Colt Python that he is carrying on his person.
Over & Under Double Barreled Shotgun
The hitman Billy Score (Henry Silva) uses a cut down Over & Under Double Barreled Shotgun to kill a prostitute and one of Sharky's partners. At one point it is identified as being a 12 gauge. The shotgun appears to be a Browning Over & Under Shotgun, but I can't confirm this.
