Schindler's List: Difference between revisions
A Walther P38 is only seen in one scene, when Göth has to dig up and then burn the bodies from the liquidation of the Krakow ghetto. One of his men feigns madness and fires into the mass of burning corpses.
The Luger P08 appears to be the sidearm of choice in this film. All executions by pistol are done with Lugers. The Lugers used had to be flashpaper guns, and were likely retained in later scenes for continuity reasons.

The pistol misfires at first, and then Göth removes and checks the magazine, pulls back on the toggle bolt (ejecting a round) and tries to fire again, with the same result. Barring an act from God, there's probably something wrong with the firing pin (as speculated by Goethe's men.)Error creating thumbnail: File missingGöth executes one of twenty-five men to warn against future escape attempts. Notice the weird muzzle-flash, indicating that these are probably flash paper guns.
During the scene where Göth tries to execute Rabbi Lewartow for not making enough hinges, his Luger keeps misfiring. Göth takes out a CZ 27, which will not fire either. He has to settle for pistol whipping the rabbi with the CZ 27.

He repeatedly racks the slide, but as no rounds are ejected, the pistol is probably just empty.
Unknown revolver
In a quick editing mistake, when Göth and his lieutenants walk away after failing to execute Lewartow, they pick up a revolver from the ground, supposedly discarded by Göth when it wouldn't fire. The pistol is not seen in the scene prior to being picked up.

It's possible that the crew switched to a rubber gun to avoid dropping the CZ27, which is probably pretty rare nowadays, and a rubber copy is unlikely to exist.
Mosin Nagant M91/30
Two German soldiers can be seen with Mosin Nagant M91/30s in the camp while rounding up Jews.
